In the depths of industrial West Yorkshire during the transformative era of the 1960s and 1970s, Red Bricks and Loose Dogs takes readers on a profound journey of introspection. Inspired by the unwavering honesty of Father Jim, a trusted and wise man, the story unravels the truth behind the boy who grew into a man. Father Jim, revered for his wisdom, kept a powerful revelation hidden until his final moments. He shattered the illusion of his authority to grant heavenly visas or offer absolution, asserting that it is our personal responsibility to face the truth and examine our own past behaviours. Guided by Father Jim's honesty, the author of this remarkable memoir transports readers to the vibrant tapestry of his youth, set against the gritty industrial landscapes of West Yorkshire. Within this backdrop, the author rediscovers the influential people and defining moments that shaped his thinking and character for years to come.

This book traces the complex pattern of working-class radical endeavour in the West Riding textile district during the years from 1829 to 1839. It focuses in particular on questions of local leadership and organisation and stresses the importance of these elements to early working-class movements. The study assesses the significance of the trade union, popular radical, early co-operative and factory reform agitations of the late 1820s and early 1830s in shaping leadership cadres and organisational structures. It goes on to map out the varied, often mutually reinforcing campaigns of the mid 1830s which came together in the early Chartist movement. Chartism, with its more confident, experienced and self-reliant local leadership and its stress on organisation, is shown to be the culmination of a decade of escalating conflict and prodigious activity. It drew on the radicalising experiences of the early 1830s, on the incremental growth of working-class disillusionment in the post-Reform era, and on the common experiences and uncertainties which large sections of the local working population shared. Whilst building on traditional ideas and agitational tactics, the early Chartists increasingly articulated an assertive, class-conscious alternative to the widely-perceived evils of unregulated competitive industry and unrepresentative, uncaring government. Far from being peripheral figures, the local leaders who emerged in this era were central to the story of the emergence of the world's first mass working-class movement. For this reason, the efforts of contemporaries to perpetuate their memory deserve to be continued, so that a few more at least, do not share the fate of the many who 'died unknown'.

Three men, tethered tighter than brothers, traverse life's unpredictabilities, even with their contrasting backgrounds. But at the epicentre of their transformation are the women who captivate their hearts and reshape their futures.

Yet, while Richard wrestles with love, Aunt Sylvia remains the unifying beacon of the family, binding each member through every joy and tribulation. However, when one man's deeds imperil the tranquillity of the town and the unity of this close-knit family, will their collective past and unwavering affection be their salvation? Delve into a story where vengeance, romance, and concealed truths intertwine in the quest to regain the heart of Mary.

Alles wird einmal vergehen, denn die Zeit bleibt niemals stehen--- Rache. Es ist das Letzte, das noch für Arthur Hill zählt, nachdem seine Frau ermordet wird. Jeder in seinem Umfeld hält ihn für den Schuldigen und selbst seine besten Freunde zweifeln an ihm. Zwar wird niemand für den Mord an Claire Hill verurteilt, doch es kann für ihn keine Ruhe geben, solange Bill und Louis Ferrans noch in Freiheit leben. Und da die Gerechtigkeit dort versagt hat, soll nun Rache siegen. Seine letzte Unterstützung ist Lord Charles Telleray, ein egoistischer Besitzer einer Burg und sonst unbedeutend, bei dem er als Butler arbeitet. Selbst dieser würde Arthur im Stich lassen, hielte man ihn nicht selbst des Mordes schuldig. Als eine Einladung auf die Insel der Ferrans-Brüder ankommt, ist für Arthur die Zukunft gewiss: Er will Rache, koste es, was es wolle. Und so machen sich beide auf den Weg, der längst nicht so geradlinig ist, wie er scheint. Ist Rache wirklich den Verlust der Wahrheit wert? Gibt es vielleicht noch einen anderen Weg? Ist alles wirklich so einfach, wie es auf den ersten Blick scheint oder steckt doch mehr hinter allem? Viele Fragen, deren Beantwortung alles entscheiden könnte. Doch letztendlich können nur Arthur und Charles selbst entscheiden, was ihnen mehr bedeutet: Rache oder Wahrheit.
