Book Synopsis Good Night Irene by : Leslie Morrish
Download or read book Good Night Irene written by Leslie Morrish and published by . This book was released on 2016-03-04 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Goodnight Irene is the true story of a ship. A ship that holds a singular place in British Maritime history. Of a once vast fleet of West Country Merchantmen, she is the sole survivor still to sail. It is also the story of a man: the man who found her, rescued, restored and sails her.The substance of the book is a sailor's yarn. The yarn is woven into a canvas, a weft and weave of tribulation and ecstasy. On it is painted the picture of a relationship, that of man and ship.By profession the man is a psychiatrist, a healer of delusions. Yet it is his fantasies that the picture illuminates. The inner theme runs down that blurred edge between dream and reality.Much of the book is light, even flippant; the author defuses and debunks too serious a view of life.The story starts in 1965. The Irene lies derelict on the Hamble river.In naivety or madness (a recurring question that is never answered) the author buys the ship. She sails to London, Repair, restoration and conversion to a home are followed by a fire that sweeps the ship and leaves in its devastation the seeds of significant change.The story-line becomes wayward. Tales of sailing are interrupted with cameos of history, philosophy, psychiatry, and self-revelation.The direction is retained with the final voyage back to the waters of the West Country, to culminate in farce-flavoured triumph.The story in this book takes the ship and the man through the first two decades of their relationship. The picture of their next four decades together, of another fire, of a raising from the seabed, and another restoration, will all be illuminated elsewhere...

Book excerpt: This down-to-earth, funny memoir describes how a bullied fat kid from Melbourne evolved to become an award-winning, international television presenter and sports commentator. Michael Schiavello, the overweight son of an immigrant factory worker, was taunted and bullied at school and was told he'd never amount to anything. By his late teens he knew he only had two things going for him: his deep booming voice and a burning ambition to prove his critics wrong.Good Night Irene, a catch cry Michael would become well known for as a commentator, describes how Michael became one of the most highly sought after sports broadcasters on US cable networks, and relates many interesting stories about the people and celebrities he met along the way, including a gun-toting Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Diego Maradona, Hulk Hogan, George Foreman, Sugar Ray Leonard, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Wasim Akram, Dana White, Cathy Freeman and more. While pulling back the veil of sports commentary and peeking into the lives of some of the world's biggest celebrities, Good Night Irene also serves to inspire the uninspired and give hope and courage to those who struggle with being bullied. This book is proof that anyone with a dream, and the passion and devotion to work hard, can achieve that dream. Inspiring, moving and entertaining.

Download or read book Wandering Time written by Luis Alberto Urrea and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fleeing a failed marriage and haunted by ghosts of his past, Luis Alberto Urrea jumped into his car several years ago and headed west. Driving cross-country with a cat named Rest Stop, Urrea wandered the West from one year's Spring through the next. Hiking into aspen forests where leaves "shiver and tinkle like bells" and poking alongside creeks in the Rockies, he sought solace and wisdom. In the forested mountains he learned not only the names of trees—he learned how to live. As nature opened Urrea's eyes, writing opened his heart. In journal entries that sparkle with discovery, Urrea ruminates on music, poetry, and the landscape. With wonder and spontaneity, he relates tales of marmots, geese, bears, and fellow travelers. He makes readers feel mountain air "so crisp you feel you could crunch it in your mouth" and reminds us all to experience the magic and healing of small gestures, ordinary people, and common creatures. Urrea has been heralded as one of the most talented writers of his generation. In poems, novels, and nonfiction, he has explored issues of family, race, language, and poverty with candor, compassion, and often astonishing power. Wandering Time offers his most intimate work to date, a luminous account of his own search for healing and redemption.
