He finds solace in memories of his father, a taciturn man who introduced him to the fisherman's life; his mother, who worked at the local cannery to keep the family fed; and a host of local fishermen, whose battles with the sea become for Neil both a model and a tragic foreshadowing of his own fate.

When their father has to travel to a distant city for work, the brothers take advantage of his absence to skip school and go fishing. At the forbidden nearby river, they meet a madman who persuades the oldest of the boys that he is destined to be killed by one of his siblings.

Book Synopsis A Fisherman's Son by : Edencio Abalos Fernandez
Download or read book A Fisherman's Son written by Edencio Abalos Fernandez and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2005-08 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Fisherman's Son (A Lifetime Dream To Remember) is a collection of paintings, poems and journals created and composed by the author who never had an interest in arts and poetry before 1997 and when he was in school. The book is a product of pure gifts and inspirations "handed down" to the author whose education, profession, and career are completely unrelated to arts, poetry, and creative writing. The impressionistic style of painting presented in the book is remarkable, and the poems and journals were not "professionally crafted" but more like voices "heard from above" that are meant to be shared with every soul. The book presents paintings of scenes mostly in Georgetown, Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia, Japan, New Zealand, and the Philippines. Moreover, the chapter "Imagining" contains some expressionistic creations by the author. The poems and journals reflect author's thoughts and feelings on the subject of love, affection, existence, war and peace, and technology, and his impressions on his surroundings and life activities, inspirations, dreams, adventures, and fiction stories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE FISHERMAN'S SON is a children's novel filled with fantasy, adventure and the heroic qualities of a brave, young boy. At the same time, it includes accurate and beautiful descriptions of life under the ocean, villages similar to those of real nineteenth century island villages, and cities similar to those of ancient Greece and Rome. Part of the book is based on research accounts of what may have happened to Atlantis if it once existed. The main character is a twelve-year-old boy named Wiley O'Mara. He lives on an island far up north where it is very cold, around the beginning of the nineteenth century. The island scenery and culture in some ways resemble that of Ireland around the same time. After meeting a dolphin who allows him to swim underwater, Wiley takes part in an extraordinary adventure through which he and the dolphin accomplish an incredible rescue mission. Along the way, Wiley and his friend encounter both real and imaginary creatures - the real fish, dolphins, coral reefs and changing depths of the North Atlantic Ocean, as well as imaginary creatures in the island forest and ocean depths surrounding Wiley's home.

Download or read book The Fisherman written by John Langan and published by Canelo. This book was released on 2023-10-09 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Illusory, frightening, and deeply moving, The Fisherman is a modern horror epic. And it’s simply a must read’ Paul Tremblay In upstate New York, within the woods, Dutchman’s Creek flows out of the Ashokan Reservoir. Steep-banked and fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other’s company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumours of the Creek and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss them. Soon, though, the men find themselves drawn into a tale as deep and old as the Reservoir. It's a tale of dark pacts, of long-buried secrets, and of a mysterious figure known as the Fisherman. It will bring Abe and Dan face to face with all that they have lost, and with the price they must pay to regain it. ‘An epic, yet intimate, horror novel. Langan channels M. R. James, Robert E. Howard and Norman Maclean. What you get is A River Runs Through It... straight to hell’ Laird Barron More praise for The Fisherman ‘Reading this, your mouth fills with worms. Just let them wriggle and crawl as they will, though—don’t swallow. John Langan is fishing for your sleep, for your soul. I fear he’s already got mine’ Stephen Graham Jones ‘What starts as a slow, melancholy tale gains momentum and drops you head first into a churning nightmare from which you might escape, but you’ll never forget, and the memory of what you saw will change you forever’ Richard Kadrey ‘The Fisherman is a treasure, the kind of book you just want to snuggle up and shiver through. I can’t say enough good things about the confidence, the patience, the satisfying cumulative power of this book. It was a pleasure to read from the first page to the last’ Victor LaValle ‘Stories within stories, folk tales becoming modern legends, all spinning into a fisherman’s tale about the one he wishes had gotten away. Langan’s latest is at turns epic and personal, dense yet compulsively readable, frightening but endearing’ Adam Cesare

Book Synopsis The Fisherman and His Soul by : Oscar Wilde
Download or read book The Fisherman and His Soul written by Oscar Wilde and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-17 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the ingenuity and delicacy of the little mermaid, this beautiful story transports us to unreal and fantastic scenes. It happened that a young fisherman caught a mermaid with his nets, which he allowed to return to the sea on the condition that, upon his call, he would sing a song so that the fish would go to their nets. She sang her songs every evening that talked about the colossal whales or the Argonauts or the octopuses that move their multiple black arms, and the fish flocked to the surface of the sea and filled the nets of the fisherman. But the mermaid's fascination was not only in the fish but also in the fisherman, who could not resist its charm.
