Download or read book Virgil Wander written by Leif Enger and published by Atlantic Monthly Press. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A man seeks to rediscover his broken Midwestern community in a novel that “brims with grace and quirky charm” by the author of Peace Like a River (Bookpage). Movie house owner Virgil Wander is “cruising along at medium altitude” when his car flies off the road into icy Lake Superior. Though Virgil survives, his language and memory are altered. Awakening in this new life, Virgil begins to piece together the past. He is helped by a cast of curious locals—from a stranger investigating the mystery of his disappeared son, to the vanished man’s enchanting wife, to a local journalist who is Virgil’s oldest friend. Into this community returns a shimmering prodigal son who may hold the key to reviving their town. Leif Enger conjures a remarkable portrait of a region and its residents, who, for reasons of choice or circumstance, never made it out of their defunct industrial district. Carried aloft by quotidian pleasures including movies, fishing, necking in parked cars, playing baseball and falling in love, Virgil Wander is a journey into the heart of America’s Upper Midwest.

Download or read book Byron written by Benita Eisler and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-01-26 with total page 857 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this masterful portrait of the poet who dazzled an era and prefigured the modern age of celebrity, noted biographer Benita Eisler offers a fuller and more complex vision than we have yet been afforded of George Gordon, Lord Byron. Eisler reexamines his poetic achievement in the context of his extraordinary life: the shameful and traumatic childhood; the swashbuckling adventures in the East; the instant stardom achieved with the publication ofChilde Harold's Pilgrimage; his passionate and destructive love affairs, including an incestuous liaison with his half-sister; and finally his tragic death in the cause of Greek independence. This magnificent record of a towering figure is sure to become the new standard biography of Byron.

Download or read book Yigal Allon, Native Son written by Anita Shapira and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in 1918 into the fabric of Arab-Jewish frontier life at the foot of Mt. Tabor, Yigal Allon rose to become one of the founding figures of the state of Israel and an architect of its politics. In 1945 Allon became commander of the Palmah—an elite unit of the Haganah, the semilegal army of the Jewish community—during the struggle against the British for independence. In the 1947-49 War of Independence against local and invading Arab armies, he led the decisive battles that largely determined the borders of Israel. Paradoxically, his close lifelong relations with Arab neighbors did not prevent him from being a chief agent of their sizable displacement. A bestseller in Israel and available now translated into English, Yigal Allon, Native Son is the only biography of this charismatic leader. The book focuses on Allon's life up to 1950, his clash with founding father David Ben-Gurion, the end of his military career, and the watershed in culture and character between the Jewish Yishuv and Israeli statehood. As a statesman in his more mature years, he formulated what became known as the "Allon Plan," which remains a viable blueprint for an eventual two-state partition between Israel and the Palestinians. Yet in the end, the promise Allon showed as a brilliant young military commander remained unfulfilled. The great dream of the Palmah generation was largely lost, and Allon's name became associated with the failed policies of the past. The story of Allon's life frames the history of Israel, its relationship with its Arab neighbors, its culture and spirit. This important biography touches on matters—Israel's borders, refugees, military might—that remain very much alive today.

Book excerpt: The worth of any book is not only to be measured by the joy that you derive while reading it, but by what you can actually glean and carry away. It is a treasure trove laden with pearls of wisdom, and the tenets of ‘Art of Healthy and Joyful Living.’ It is a soothing elixir to the world torn with tears, wounds and scars. It makes one think in a new direction and induces to explore. As the words sink into us slowly page by page, the literary journey takes a very pious turn to become a holy pilgrimage. It shows the answer is best sought in self-realisation. The author is an intrepid traveller and a sensitive poet. With his repertoire, he has tried to seek the answers to the enigma of life, and many everyday issues that baffle us. The author here extols, ‘one who looks around is intelligent and experienced, but the one who looks within is learnt and wise. To, one who is on a journey within this is a companion and a friendly guide. It tells, ‘Love the life you live, and live the life you love, enjoy what you do and do what you enjoy.’

Download or read book Rhea Silvia written by Debra May Macleod and published by Debra May Macleod. This book was released on with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unflinching, breathtaking retelling of the story of Rhea Silvia, fated by the gods to play a spectacular part in the mythos of Rome—the mother of Romulus, Rome’s legendary founder. It is 772 BCE, nearly two decades before the birth of Rome. The city of Alba Longa and its king, Numitor, reign supreme. But Numitor’s children, Princess Rhea Silvia and Prince Egestus, fear for the city’s future. With Rhea set to marry an unpredictable enemy, they can see the end of their family’s dynasty as surely as their ancestor Aeneas saw the fall of Troy. In a bid to maintain power, Rhea is set on a harrowing course that will push her to the limits of human endurance, forcing her to turn to the gods and rise with the ferocity imbued in her Trojan blood, sacrificing everything for the new Troy—Rome. RHEA SILVIA is the first novel in The First Vestals of Rome, an epic trilogy about the founding Vestal Virgins of ancient Rome. About The First Vestals of Rome Trilogy Set in the 8th century BCE, The First Vestals of Rome is an action-packed trilogy that dramatizes the sensational, often perilous lives of three legendary women who gave rise to Rome’s powerful order of Vestal Virgins. All of them central to the life of Romulus, Rome’s founder, these tectonic women were fated to shape the history of the Eternal City as much as any Caesar who came after them. Editorial Reviews for RHEA SILVIA "This novel turns the myth of Romulus and Remus into a plausible and energetic history but has many graphic scenes of the torture, assassination and aberrant behavior that would come to mark the Roman Empire...[A] vibrant, enthralling tale." - The Historical Novel Society "The dramatization of the scenes is superb, it keeps the reader captivated and intrigued...[the novel] brings you from "old" to "new" with brilliant clarity. If you love history, the Roman empire and the sex, fights and deception that allowed these privileged people to create one of the greatest cultures in the world, you will love this book." - Book Junkie Reviews
