From the author of Dunkirk: Fight to the Last Man and Enigma: The Battle for the Code, a deep dive into the Second World War’s maritime epic in the Arctic.In a reconfiguration of recent events in Ukraine, it is 1941, and Russia has been invaded. The terms of the new alliance were that Western nations would ship urgently needed war materials to Russia via the shortest but most dangerous route: sailing north of the Arctic Circle while being hunted by U-boats, the Luftwaffe, and a surface fleet spearheaded by Tirpitz and Scharnhorst. This endeavour was called the Arctic convoys.Battle of the Arctic is about the conflict and naval battles that unfolded while Allied naval and merchant seamen, airmen, submariners, soldiers and intelligence officers delivered on this wartime commitment to Russia from 1941-45, passing through terrific storms, snow, ice and Arctic mirages. When ships went down in seas so cold that a man could die after just five minutes of immersion, it triggered events reminiscent of the do-or-die moments during the sinking of the Titanic.

A long time ago, in the enchanted fairy tale world, there were fairies, evils, devils, and angels. Princess Charming, wicked snow queens and ice maidens, a girl as little as a thumb, and a mermaid from the forest and the hills of the identical fairy world. The classic and timeless novel, Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, with their memorable characters, usual themes, fanciful humor, wisdom, and morals, have been enjoyed by adults and children alike. The tales have been transformed into more than one hundred languages and have undergone diverse alterations over the decades. Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales are like splendid jewels, eliciting from us gasps of gratitude and delight. Writing at the core of a Europe-wide revival of national literature, Anderson broke new ground with his fairy tales in two significant ways. He primarily gathered them in the indigenous language, mimicking the language he used to teach them to children loudly. Second, he determined his tales in his own time and land, giving rise to his loving descriptions of the Danish country. In contrast to such sociologists, as the Brothers Grimm, Anderson's tales are premised on reality and often concentrate on the importance of overlooked or small things.

In eighteenth century France, Charles Perrault rescued from the oral tradition fairy tales that are known and loved even today by virtually all children in the West. Angela Carter came across Perrault''s work and set out to adapt the stories for modern readers of English. In breathing new life into these classic fables, she produced versions that live on as classics in their own right, marked as much by her signature wit, irony, and subversiveness as they are by the qualities that have made them universally appealing for centuries.
