Book Synopsis A Year in the Scheisse by : Roger Boyes
Download or read book A Year in the Scheisse written by Roger Boyes and published by Summersdale Publishers. This book was released on 2008 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'It was time, the editor told me, for a more modern approach to Germany...The three of us were the backbone of the British press corps. No cliche about Germany left the country without us having given it our seal of approval.'Laugh-out-loud funny, this is the memorable story of an English journalist's adventures - including his encounters with women - as he tries to get to grip with the Germans. Facing bankruptcy, Roger is advised by his accountant to make use of a legal loophole: in Germany married couples have their tax bill halved. So the search is on for a German bride. Meanwhile his father, a former bomber pilot and war hero, is also in financial trouble and is threatening to move to Germany and sponge off his son.The combination of financial, romantic and parental crises sets in train a hilarious romp during which we discover more than we really wanted to about speed-dating and nudist beaches, the British media obsession with Adolf Hitler and how to cheat at the Berlin marathon, curry wurst and stuffed cabbage. Writing incisively and almost without prejudice, Roger Boyes describes the peculiarities of everyday life in Germany. AUTHOR: Roger Boyes, 54, was born in Hereford into a military family and moved around a lot. He has been a foreign correspondent for over thirty years, and is currently the GErmany correspondent for The Times and author of the column 'My Berlin' in Tagesspiegel.
Download or read book Germany written by Brian Melican and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2013-07-26 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: German military figures had a certain terrifying glamour,' wrote Patrick Leigh Fermor, recalling views about Germany during the First World War. When, he asked, had the bristling general replaced the 'philosophers and composers and bandsmen and peasants and students drinking and singing in harmony?' The enchanted forest, symbol of Romantic idealism and traditional folktales, had given way to other images of Germany and Germans. By following Leigh Fermor, and over eighty other British and North American literary visitors to Germany, this original anthology shows how different generations of English-speakers have depicted this country. Starting in the sixteenth century with some of the earliest travel accounts in English, Brian Melican presents a wide range of writing about, or set in, Germany. Letters from Johnsonians such as Boswell and Garrick and the Romantic poets Coleridge and Wordsworth; the journals of Herman Melville and Henry James; ante bellum fiction by authors such as D. H. Lawrence and Ford Madox Ford: all of this and more reveals an oft-forgotten richness in encounters with Germany before the horrors of the twentieth century. Work by Christopher Isherwood, Stephen Spender and wartime reporters through the 1940s exposes the country's darkest moments, while sometimes surprising takes on the conflict emerge from authors inside Germany with unique perspectives such as Christabel Bielenberg and Michael Howard. Post-war writing ranges from the spy fiction of Len Deighton to the writers who dissected post-Nazi Germany. The diversity of writing about Germany today encompasses light-hearted accounts and more searching passages taken from an eclectic selection of authors. Recorded and imagined images of Germany have changed dramatically across the centuries. Yet views on many of its features especially its cities and rivers, customs and cuisine have often remained constant. This anthology, with extensive introductions and annotations, offers a range of opinions, both typical and atypical of their time, and invites readers to venture beyond the usual discussion about this country at the very heart of Europe.

Book Synopsis Third Sepoy from the Left by : Iggy X. (As Told To Michael Nardella)

This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our crazy adventure begins when Iggy X, a frustrated actor, meets the author and gifts him with his memoir, a manuscript of the making of the biggest and most controversial film ever attempted Down Under. Once on location, we discover Iggy is taking fake tan medication and posing as "Sunil Chatterjee," in order to get the part of an Indian sepoy (camel wrangler) in a drama about the ill-fated explorers, Burke and Wills. Soon he and the other two actors playing sepoys are cajoled into appearing in "Camel-a-lot," a reality-type show intended for the DVD's special features, in which they must compete for the role of head sepoy and for screen time with Russell Crowe. Against a backdrop of paranoid security concerns, creative differences, and diabolical catering, Iggy stumbles from one calamity to another, including being saddled with an alcoholic camel, living with Elvis-worshipping carnies after a flood, recovering the stolen main generator, and finding love in the most unexpected way imaginable. As Iggy strives to earn his first speaking credit, the teetering production threatens to implode, robbing him of his childhood dream.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the beginning, in 1973, when a young couple met at a seminary in the city of Boston, during a time of great racial tension over an issue called bussing, they dared to share a dream and the dream was about faith, progress, unity, love and sustainable development in Africa. She trained in education, her Canadian husband schooled in medicine. They would return to the Ugandan paradise island of her youth in Lake Victoria only to discover that beauty hid the beast; that an interracial couple, white and black and their Ancient Orthodox faith would cause a spark which turned verdant fields into flames of conflict. Truths would be told and taboos would be broken. Courage would be unveiled and passions uncovered. This story is about the glue that maintained the vision until time, politics and war wore it away. It is also about survival and rebirth and the ultimate seeds which gave birth to a new crop of hopes. "What are you looking at old man?" the young doctor queried. The elder was looking into a rotten log. "I am seeing the face of God," he smiled standing up, allowing the doctor to see the sun kissed orchid." "The face of God," he said, and so it was, for their five years on Bukasa island uncovered the weaknesses and strengths of this couple and the community around them. That they would fail was inevitable, but that they would survive in a real and mystical way was the hidden treasure....
Book Synopsis That One Peculiar Year by : Luciano De Angelis
Download or read book That One Peculiar Year written by Luciano De Angelis and published by Ipoc Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is relevant in the book and gives vivacity to the narration is the style of the expression, with a flowing narration, from which charac-ters and events take shape with a great realism. The style is swift and effective, and the characters stand out as if they were alive, evoked by an extraordinary emotional charge. The principle inspiring this work may echo after Paul Ricoeur who, in Time and Narrative, states: Life is a tale, not a theorem. Readers can emotionally relate to this novel because the facts narrated are naturally occurring events, seen and depicted with a child's perspective, a child who, as an adult, remem-bers those events with the same emotions felt in youth. The most im-portant merit of Luciano De Angelis' book lies specifically in this similarity between time and memory, in a narration that is both linear and graphic

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is it like to support a small team in a city where a footballing giant lurks? Leandro Vignoli spent 50 days on the road, getting up close and personal with the fans of 13 football clubs from ten of Europe's big cities to bring you the inside story. This book isn't about glitz and glamour - it's a celebration of each club's identity peppered with a sprinkling of history. From St Pauli's social activism to Millwall's struggle with hooliganism, from Rayo Vallecano's working-class roots to Torino's glory and tragedy, from the Catalan identity to East Germany's socialist past, no stone is left unturned as Vignoli visits teams in Barcelona, Madrid, Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Lisbon, Paris, Turin, Glasgow and London. Each chapter has a game as a backdrop alongside interviews with fans. A football fanatic himself, Vignoli weaves a narrative filled with passion and understanding that gets to the root of what it's really like to support an underdog side dwarfed by a footballing giant.
