Book excerpt: Mark this sheet music contorto e mortale.*War heroine and crime solver Cecilia "Ace" Carroway specializes in cheating death, but she's never encountered a musical instrument with murderous tendencies before. Violinist P. Charles Derkin is the latest owner of the deadly violin, and he's a nervous wreck. The instrument is accompanied by nightly noises and ghostly lights, and he just discovered that the violin's two previous owners each died in horrific "accidents."Moments after Ace takes the case, Derkin narrowly escapes death by falling masonry. The danger is real enough, but who or what could be putting Charles Derkin in peril? Is it mysterious paranormal forces? Is it diminutive Filbert Monocles, director of the organization that provides security for the violin? Is it Isabella Rosavino, the vivacious Italian photographer? As Ace and her dashing associates gather clues, a disturbing fourth possibility rises like a ghostly shadow. Her old nemesis Darko Dor and his international network of criminals may desire the violin for their own nefarious ends. A few dead violinists mean nothing to the fiend whose thirst for power has already killed thousands, including Ace's father.When Derkin and his violin are kidnapped, Ace will need all of her wits, her danger-loving partners, and an airship to have a hope of saving him in time to thwart her arch enemy.This book contains: An Irishman's blarney.

Book Synopsis Finding Billy Battles by : Ronald Yates
Download or read book Finding Billy Battles written by Ronald Yates and published by Ronald E. Yates/Xlibris. This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western Kansas 1860. Billy Battles is born on a remote homestead just off the storied Santa Fe Trail. More than one hundred years later a great-grandson inherits two trunks filled with Billy's personal effects. In those trunks are several secret journals that reveal an astonishing life of adventure and violence that until now was obscured by the haze of time and Billy's desire for secrecy. The journals tell of a man both haunted and hunted who, in a desperate search for peace and redemption, journeys far from the untamed American West to the Far East, South America, and Europe. In amazing detail they describe Billy's interaction with a wide assortment of men and women--some legendary, a few iniquitous, and many lost to history. They also recount his participation in such cataclysmic events as the Spanish-American War, turmoil in French Indochina, and violent revolutions in Mexico and South America. Complying with Billy's last request the great-grandson assembles the journals into a compelling trilogy that reveals a man often trapped and overwhelmed by circumstances beyond his control, but who nevertheless manages to persevere for ten decades.
Book Synopsis Shooting an Elephant by : George Orwell
Download or read book Shooting an Elephant written by George Orwell and published by Renard Press Ltd. This book was released on 2022-02-14 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. Shooting an Elephant, the fifth in the Orwell’s Essays series, tells the story of a police officer in Burma who is called upon to shoot an aggressive elephant. Thought to be loosely based on Orwell’s own experiences in Burma, the tightly written essay weaves together fact and fiction indistinguishably, and leaves the reader contemplating the heavy topic of colonialism, with the words ‘when the white man turns tyrant it is his own freedom that he destroys’ echoing from the page. 'A remarkable piece.' (Jeremy Paxman) 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' (Irish Times)

This staggering global industry wasn’t born overnight; advancements in pharmaceutical science have been happening for a long while, over the course of decades and even centuries. This book tells the history of ten prominent substances and how they came to be common household names. It shows how the creation of such influential drugs often began with the right person at the exactly right—or wrong!— time. The chapters tell the stories of geniuses and charlatans; scholars and amateurs; advances won through hard work or pure luck; and ultimately, the handful of resounding successes that revolutionized a global industry. Beyond the pioneers of the most famous drugs in our culture, the book analyzes how our perspective on medical treatment has shifted over the decades. Modern standards for testing and administering substances have created a new set of advantages, setbacks, and stigmas, all of which are discussed herein.

Book Synopsis The Nose and Other Stories by : Nikolai Gogol
Download or read book The Nose and Other Stories written by Nikolai Gogol and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nikolai Gogol’s novel Dead Souls and play The Government Inspector revolutionized Russian literature and continue to entertain generations of readers around the world. Yet Gogol’s peculiar genius comes through most powerfully in his short stories. By turns—or at once—funny, terrifying, and profound, the tales collected in The Nose and Other Stories are among the greatest achievements of world literature. These stories showcase Gogol’s vivid, haunting imagination: an encounter with evil in a darkened church, a downtrodden clerk who dreams only of a new overcoat, a nose that falls off a face and reappears around town on its own, outranking its former owner. Written between 1831 and 1842, they span the colorful setting of rural Ukraine to the unforgiving urban landscape of St. Petersburg to the ancient labyrinth of Rome. Yet they share Gogol’s characteristic obsessions—city crowds, bureaucratic hierarchy and irrationality, the devil in disguise—and a constant undercurrent of the absurd. Susanne Fusso’s translations pay careful attention to the strangeness and wonder of Gogol's style, preserving the inimitable humor and oddity of his language. The Nose and Other Stories reveals why Russian writers from Dostoevsky to Nabokov have returned to Gogol as the cornerstone of their unparalleled literary tradition.
