Book Synopsis The Bell Ringer by : Victor Rodriguez
Download or read book The Bell Ringer written by Victor Rodriguez and published by University of North Texas Press. This book was released on 2021-12-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of Victor Rodriguez, a man who began life with few advantages but who had continuing encouragement to persevere from the people who knew him best. From his earliest days in South Texas in the 1940s he broke many barriers. He and his sisters were among the first children in their town to advance from the fourth grade of the Mexican American school to the Anglo school and then to high school. As a football player and track star he set records and won trophies at Edna High School, at Victoria College, and at North Texas State College. At each stage of his education, he often found himself the only Mexican American in his group. His prowess in sports was based on the endurance he developed as the bell ringer for the church in Edna, when his teacher assigned him the task in the third grade as his “personal civic responsibility.” For nine years he rose at 4 a.m. to jog two miles to the church, dodging dogs along the way, to ring the bell before Mass. Within a decade, that commitment would serve him well as he distinguished himself as a standout in school and college cross-country running and track athlete. He earned the first Hispanic scholarships as an athlete at both Victoria Junior College and North Texas State College. After earning his degree at North Texas State in 1955, he began a career in the San Antonio School District (SASD) as a teacher and coach in Cooper Middle School. Subsequently he became coach at Lanier and then Highlands high schools, where he took track teams to new titles and fostered individual athletes to personal achievements. After a series of promotions through the administration of SASD, he retired in 1994 after twelve years as Superintendent of the District. As a pioneer Mexican American educator in San Antonio, he brought dignity and respect to the people of the Westside, where he remains a role model today.

While trying to escape, Robby inadvertently rings a mysterious bell by using powers that he did not know he had. The bell is enchanted, and it releases its ancient enchantments upon the world. Ignorant of such things, Robby is rescued by a wise man. He tells Robby that fate brought him to the bell, but it was Robby's destiny to ring it. He tells Robby that danger still lurks, that ringing the bell alerted powerful enemies, those who fear that their dark secrets would be revealed by the person with the power to ring the bell.As his everyday life resumes, everything seems somehow changed. Chance encounters no longer seem coincidental. Random events seem connected. The weeks pass as he uncovers long-held family secrets. Little does he suspect that the great powers of the world are stirring. Armies are on the march, marauders and spies are in the land, and all are closing in on Robby. He senses a vague impending danger, and tries prepare. But disaster strikes: assassins reveal themselves as they try to locate and kidnap the Bellringer. Armies invade the land. Amid the chaos, a stark realization emerges: The King, who does nothing, must be replaced. And Robby Ribbon, The Bellringer, is the only one who has a chance to do it.The Year of the Red Door is a new and unique take on the quest tales of yesteryear. Yet this character-driven story brings with it an understated touch of folklore, a dash of Classical myth, and a good helping of old-fashioned romance and adventure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A corrupt prime minister uses current anti-terror laws to Orwellian extremes in this “sophisticated, engrossing, and important political thriller” (The Washington Post). In a near-future England, there are still concerns about terrorism, the press is still feisty, and the prime minister is about to call a general election. But unknown even to most government officials, new technology and anti-terror laws have been used to establish unprecedented control over the lives of ordinary citizens. A top-secret data-mining system known as Deep Truth combs through personal records, identifying law violators as well as anyone disposed to “antigovernment” beliefs. David Eyam was once the prime minister’s head of intelligence, but after a mysterious fall from grace, he was killed by a terrorist bomb while on vacation in Colombia. Now his former lover, Kate Lockhart, has been named the benefactor of his estate. But Eyam has left her more than just wealth; Lockhart is also heir to his dangerous secrets. “North by Northwest meets House of Cards . . . Porter claims that the novel is set in the near future. Don’t be fooled.” —Cullen Murphy, Vanity Fair “Scary, informative, and, alas, eminently believable.” —The Economist “Superb.” —Anna Mundow, The Boston Globe
