Book Synopsis Tilting at Windmills by : Julian Branston
Download or read book Tilting at Windmills written by Julian Branston and published by Crown. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In seventeenth-century Valladolid, Spain’s new capital, Miguel Cervantes is busy writing his comic masterpiece, Don Quixote, which is being issued in installments. It is quickly making him the most popular author in the country, when three potential disasters strike: Cervantes discovers that there is a real Don Quixote, just like the character he thought he’d invented; a jealous poet concocts a scheme involving one of the novel’s other characters to make Cervantes a laughingstock; and Cervantes falls in love with a beautiful, widowed, but un-available duchess. Many duels, misunderstandings, politicking, and betrayals later, Don Quixote himself comes to Cervantes’ rescue. This sparkling tale of crazed knights, thwarted love, and literary rivalry is set against the back-ground of a mighty empire suffering from a century of reckless wars and a ruling hierarchy stultified by patronage and ritual. Peopled with an engagingly idiosyncratic cast that ranges from a Machiavellian duke to a misanthropic poacher, this charming story is imbued with the spirit, verve, and humor of the great novel to which it pays playful tribute. Tilting at Windmills is a dazzling evocation of Cervantes’ life and times, and a brilliant weave of fact, fiction, and farce.

Book Synopsis Carl Gustaf von Rosen by : Heli von Rosen
Download or read book Carl Gustaf von Rosen written by Heli von Rosen and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In medieval romance literature, a knight-errant is a traveller of noble birth in search of adventures in which to exhibit military skill, valour and generosity. Count Carl Gustaf von Rosen was all that, although he did not explicitly look for adventures. His forty-year flying career took him to different parts of the world, giving him a bird’s-eye view of the unfair distribution of global wealth. He started as a Red Cross pilot in Ethiopia during the Italian war of 1935-1936, he built an Air Force for Emperor Haile Selassie from 1946 to 1956, and he experienced the painful birth of new African states after the colonial era. He became personally involved in the Nigerian conflict on the side of the breakaway, starving Biafra, creating a tiny air unit of rocket-armed, 100 HP trainer aircraft, to destroy, on the ground, the aggressive Nigerian military jets flown by mercenaries announcing their presence over Biafra with: “This is Genocide calling”, before dropping the bombs. In the early 1970’s when drought hit Ethiopia, von Rosen launched a method of food drops from the air to starving mountain villagers. His son Eric and daughter-in-law Heli worked with him for two years, witnessing the revolution, the Red Terror of the military junta, and the growing conflict between Ethiopia and Somalia; both claiming possession of the semi-desert region of Ogaden. Ultimately, this conflict caused the death of Carl Gustaf von Rosen. He was killed in a Somali attack on Gode in July 1977. Heli von Rosen tells the story.
Book Synopsis Planet of the Blind by : Stephen Kuusisto
Download or read book Planet of the Blind written by Stephen Kuusisto and published by Delta. This book was released on 2013-08-07 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The world is a surreal pageant," writes Stephen Kuusisto. "Ahead of me the shapes and colors suggest the sails of Tristan's ship or an elephant's ear floating in air, though in reality it is a middle-aged man in a London Fog rain coat which billows behind him in the April wind." So begins Kuusisto's memoir, Planet of the Blind, a journey through the kaleidoscope geography of the partially-sighted, where everyday encounters become revelations, struggles, or simple triumphs. Not fully blind, not fully sighted, the author lives in what he describes as "the customs-house of the blind", a midway point between vision and blindness that makes possible his unique perception of the world. In this singular memoir, Kuusisto charts the years of a childhood spent behind bottle-lens glasses trying to pass as a normal boy, the depression that brought him from obesity to anorexia, the struggle through high school, college, first love, and sex. Ridiculed by his classmates, his parents in denial, here is the story of a man caught in a perilous world with no one to trust--until a devastating accident forces him to accept his own disability and place his confidence in the one relationship that can reconnect him to the world--the relationship with his guide dog, a golden Labrador retriever named Corky. With Corky at his side, Kuusisto is again awakened to his abilities, his voice as a writer and his own particular place in the world around him. Written with all the emotional precision of poetry, Kuusisto's evocative memoir explores the painful irony of a visually sensitive individual--in love with reading, painting, and the everyday images of the natural world--faced with his gradual descent into blindness. Folded into his own experience is the rich folklore the phenomenon of blindness has inspired throughout history and legend.

Sensing a sinister pattern in the chaos, Kerra embarks on a journey that will take her into fierce battles against even fiercer enemies.
