Philadelphia real estate broker Devyn Winters is at the peak of her career, closing multimillion-dollar deals and relishing it. She’s pretty much blocked out her formative years in Dreamer’s Bay, where the most exciting thing to happen was the twice a year bake sale. Unfortunately, a distress call hauls her back home and away from the life she’s constructed. Now the question is just how long until she can leave again? And when did boring Elizabeth Draper get so beautiful? Elizabeth Draper loves people, free time, and a good cup of coffee in the warm sunlight. In the quaint town of Dreamer’s Bay, she’s the only employee of On the Spot, an odd jobs company. She remembers Devyn Winters as shallow in high school, but now everything about Devyn makes her lose focus. Though her brain knows Devyn is only home temporarily, her heart didn’t seem to get the memo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Famous in his time as a painter, prankster, and philosopher, Leonardo da Vinci was also a musician, sculptor, and engineer for dukes, popes, and kings. What remains of his work-from futuristic designs and scientific inquiry to artwork of ethereal beauty-reveals the ambitious, unpredictable brilliance of a visionary, and a timeless dreamer. Robert Byrd celebrates this passionate, playful genius in a glowing picture book replete with the richness and imagination of Leonardo's own notebooks. Twenty lavish spreads, including side drawings, supplemental texts, and quotes from Leonardo's writings, highlight distinct periods and make the master's art, jokes, explorations, and inventions wonderfully vivid and accessible. A striking tribute to an irrepressible mind and to the potential within all who are curious.

Book Synopsis Marc Bolan - Beautiful Dreamer by : John Bramley
Download or read book Marc Bolan - Beautiful Dreamer written by John Bramley and published by Bonnier Zaffre. This book was released on 2017-09-14 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forty years after his tragic death, this homage to Marc Bolan pays tribute to one of the pioneers of the glam rock movement. Marc Bolan was the wizard who brought magic to rock music - his heart beat to the rhythm of rock. Moving from early folk influences and songs on the mythology of Tolkien, he transformed himself into a unique, sparkling and effervescent glam-rock icon. His boogie roots combined with Marc's own natural glitter dust, and propelled him forward on an adventure, with fortunes that were to ebb and flow over a decade. His diamond-studded halo was extinguished on 16 September 1977, at a time when his music was in the ascendancy. The annals of history are strewn with stories of artists who passed away in shocking circumstances of those that died too young, from substance abuse, mysterious illnesses or even murder. Sometimes, the shock of their passing immediately elevates their standing in cultural memory and cements their work in a favourable light. Marc Bolan died at twenty-nine years of age, in a tragic car crash - an accident that could have been avoided. However, it took many years for people to start appreciating what Marc Bolan brought to a rock music scene in the early seventies which had stagnated in some corners after the explosion of creativity in the sixties. Yet, gradually, acclaim has grown for how he enriched the period, bringing colour and humour to an increasingly leaden genre. Much like Hendrix before him, and Cobain after him, his natural charisma and striking beauty have underpinned his status as a dreamlike bard, an enigmatic pin-up whom boys wished they looked like and girls wished they were with. Yet it was his scorching talent as a performer and songwriter which have formed the bedrock for longevity as a legend. Including rare and unpublished photographs, and works of Marc's own poetry, this book is put together by a true, original fan - one who followed Marc Bolan on tour, who bought every piece of vinyl he released and who was fortunate enough to have made Marc's acquaintance during the peak of his career. Published forty years on from Bolan's death, Beautiful Dreamer is unashamedly a book of love, a book that every Marc Bolan fan will identify with, because it paints a picture of the man that the fans idolised, worshipped and continue to cherish to this day.
Download or read book Beautiful Dreamer written by Ron Shafer and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-03-11 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His treacherous machinations exposed during the live performance of Hamlet, the brilliant and cunning Abe Badoane seeks revenge on the innocent lovers, Jude Hepler and Cory Mohney. While the infuriated Abe inches his insidious plot forward, Jude and Cory desperately try to decode Cory's medication-induced riddle, which, mysteriously, is embedded with clues to their coming fate. Her riddle bears an uncanny parallel to Old Mary's haunting vision of the rose which, strangely, correlates to the major events of Cory and Jude's lives. Under spiritual conviction that they should help the psychologically tormented Abe, the lovers magnanimously devise a plan to rescue him, even as the monstrous Abe settles on his scheme, a catastrophic-and breath-stopping-cave-in that will destroy the lovers forever. During a dream, frail Old Mary comes to the shocking realization that the beautiful dreamer in the Stephen Foster Memorial Window is not sleeping but dead. Because her dreams bear a one-to-one correspondence to Cory's life, Old Mary, now knowing that Cory is in imminent danger, frantically tries to warn her of the impending danger. But when Old Mary collapses, Jude and Cory, still not warned, head to the mine...and their horrific fate. The resulting cave-in pummels the unsuspecting couple and throws Jude into a stream-of-conscious dream reverie. "Events swirled in my mind as I floated in a twilight zone between consciousness and unconsciousness." Are his sad ruminations of a post-life Cory truth or fiction? Does their ineffably beautiful love meet its tragic doom?

Book Synopsis Beautiful Dreamer by : Christopher Bigsby
Download or read book Beautiful Dreamer written by Christopher Bigsby and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2013-08-13 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a small Southern town, a white man tries to prevent a lynching and finds himself branded by the mob --- and worse, finds himself sheltering the dead man's son. When the killers come around to finish the job, the two victims are forced to flee across the country in the hopes of escaping men with nothing but vengeance on their minds. Just one step behind the vigilantes a solitary lawman tracks the men as he wrestles with the choice to either turn the customary blind eye or to put a stop to the intolerable logic of racial hatred. As the point of view moves seamlessly between characters, Christopher Bigsby crafts what Booklist calls a "taut, poetic narrative that has all the hypnotic power of an incantation." Dark and gritty, Beautiful Dreamer traces the struggle between reluctant good and dedicated evil, where morality is a matter of life or death and the choices made have consequences as lasting as they are unexpected.

Book Synopsis The Life and Songs of Stephen Foster by : JoAnne O'Connell
Download or read book The Life and Songs of Stephen Foster written by JoAnne O'Connell and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-09-29 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Life and Songs of Stephen Foster offers an engaging reassessment of the life, politics, and legacy of the misunderstood father of American music. Once revered the world over, Foster’s plantation songs, like “Old Folks at Home” and “My Old Kentucky Home,” fell from grace in the wake of the Civil Rights Movement due to their controversial lyrics. Foster embraced the minstrel tradition for a brief time, refining it and infusing his songs with sympathy for slaves, before abandoning the genre for respectable parlor music. The youngest child in a large family, he grew up in the shadows of a successful older brother and his president brother-in-law, James Buchanan, and walked a fine line between the family’s conservative politics and his own pro-Lincoln sentiments. Foster lived most of his life just outside of industrial, smoke-filled Pittsburgh and wrote songs set in a pastoral South—unsullied by the grime of industry but tarnished by the injustice of slavery. Rather than defining Foster by his now-controversial minstrel songs, JoAnne O’Connell reveals a prolific composer who concealed his true feelings in his lyrics and wrote in diverse styles to satisfy the changing tastes of his generation. In a trenchant reevaluation of his NewYork Bowery years, O’Connell illustrates how Foster purposely abandoned the style for which he was famous to write lighthearted songs for newly popular variety stages and music halls. In the last years of his life, Foster’s new direction in songwriting stood in the vanguard of vaudeville and musical comedy to pave the way for the future of American popular music. His stylistic flexibility in the face of evolving audience preferences not only proves his versatility as a composer but also reveals important changes in the American music and publishing industries. An intimate biography of a complex, controversial, and now neglected composer, The Life and Songs of Stephen Foster is an important story about the father of American music. This invaluable portrait of the political, economic, social, racial, and gender issues of antebellum and Civil War America will appeal to history and music lovers of all generations.

Il Sung Na creates a world at once whimsical and aspirational, where anything is possible and, yes, even pigs can learn to fly. “Sure to engage young readers who’ve got dreams of their own.” —Kirkus Reviews “Success requires quiet judgment and hard work. Young aeronauts—and pigs—take note.” —Publishers Weekly
