Download or read book Land of the Lost Souls written by Cadillac Man, and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past 16 years, Cadillac Man (so named because he was once hit by an El Dorado and thereafter bore an imprint of its hood ornament) has lived on the streets of New York City. Over those years, he has recorded the facts of his daily life - the harsh realities of surviving on the street, the often tragic encounters with the non-homeless world, the deep bonds with his fellow homeless, and the surprisingly varied realities of life on the outside - writing hundreds of thousands of words in a series of spiral bound notebooks. "My Life in the Streets" distills those journals into a memoir of homeless life that is peopled with indelible characters and packed with gripping stories. In a gritty, poignant, and funny voice, Cadillac narrates his descent into homelessness, the travails and unexpected freedoms of his life, and the story of his love affair with a young runaway, whom he eventually (and tragically) reunites with her family. The United States has 700,000 homeless people; ultimately, Cadillac's story is their story.

Their mission is for her to find five commoner candidates from her realm, The Land of Lost Souls, that will be a good fit for the Tribunal. Without hesitation, Terra is more than willing to return home but less than willing to do what the Tribunal asks. She has her own agenda. What she finds as she learns to navigate her magic skills is more than she can explain. She and her friends easily put together the lies the Tribunal has been feeding them all their lives and the mission becomes one of mystery as they maneuver their way through half-truths. Worse than the lies, Clyde is kidnapped by a vampire stalker and used as bait to lure her to Drakonia where she faces the vampire Minister M’ra who has special plans for her. Forced to go along with it as Clyde’s life hangs in the balance, more secrets come to light. Secrets that are far more dangerous and enigmatic than being a hybrid.
Download or read book Lost Souls written by Sun-wŏn Hwang and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These captivating short stories portray three major periods in modern Korean history: the forces of colonial modernity during the late 1930s; the postcolonial struggle to rebuild society after four decades of oppression, emasculation, and cultural exile (1945 to 1950); and the attempt to reconstruct a shattered land and a traumatized nation after the Korean War. Lost Souls echoes the exceptional work of China's Shen Congwen and Japan's Kawabata Yasunari. Modernist narratives set in the metropolises of Tokyo and Pyongyang alternate with starkly realistic portraits of rural life. Surrealist tales suggest the unsettling sensation of colonial domination, while stories of the outcast embody the thrill and terror of independence and survival in a land dominated by tradition and devastated by war. Written during the chaos of 1945, "Booze" recounts a fight between Koreans for control of a former Japanese-owned distillery. "Toad" relates the suffering created by hundreds of thousands of returning refugees, and stories from the 1950s confront the catastrophes of the Korean War and the problematic desire for autonomy. Visceral and versatile, Lost Souls is a classic work on the possibilities of transition that showcases the innovation and craftsmanship of a consummate--and widely celebrated--storyteller.

Book excerpt: For one charismatic kid, the dangerous world of the Forest of the Dead becomes the setting for the ultimate escape trick in this exciting debut novel. Jack Carr has been shuttled from foster home to group home to foster home his entire life.

When he’s placed with the Professor, however, he feels like he’s finally found a home—but his new guardian is hiding a dangerous secret. Years ago the Professor bartered his soul to the undead magician Mussini, and when the payment is due, he sends Jack in his place.

If he stays in the Forest long enough, he’ll die himself. To find his way home, he’ll have the help of Mussini’s other “minions”—kids stolen just like Jack—and his wits, nothing more. Can he follow the example of his hero, Houdini, and escape the inescapable?
Book Synopsis The Painter of Lost Souls by : Michael Vatikiotis
Download or read book The Painter of Lost Souls written by Michael Vatikiotis and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new novel by Michael Vatikiotis is a fast-paced, intensely emotional drama of Indonesian life high and low, set against the tumultuous backdrop of the "reformasi" era, after the fall of Suharto in 1998. "The Painter of Lost Souls" is the story of Sito, a gifted artist who leaves his home in a poor village in Central Java while still in his teens, to make his name and his fortune in the royal city of Jogjakarta. There he falls in with an idealistic group of avant-garde artists that calls itself the Republic of Dreams, reflecting the extravagant hopes of millennial Indonesia. Sito's talent for satire soon brings him to the attention of a major collector, then the patronage of the Sultan of Jogjakarta, and finally to the heady ether of the cultural elite in Jakarta. Vatikiotis tells a suspenseful tale that weaves together a fascinating inside view of the art boom in Indonesia and the nation's religious and political ferment in the twenty-first century, haunted by ghosts of the nation's bloody past. Yet the soul of the book is a young man's coming of age. Sito is torn between two loves: Arda, a political activist and patriot of the Republic of Dreams, and Ayu, the daughter of a mystic at the sultan's palace in Jogja. A catastrophic eruption of Mount Merapi completely upends Sito's life, forcing him to decide which direction it will take in maturity. Drawing on the rich color and magic of Indonesia's cultural heartland, this imaginative story of youthful fulfillment and triumph in the face of tragedy takes the reader deep into the creative soul and harsh social realities of modern Indonesia. "The Painter of Lost Souls" is Michael Vatikiotis' fourth book of fiction, following "The Spice Garden" (2004), a novel of sectarian violence in Maluku, and two acclaimed short-story collections, "Debatable Land" and "Singapore Ground Zero." Formerly a journalist for the BBC and chief editor of the "Far East Economic Review," Vatikiotis has lived in Southeast Asia for more than a quarter of a century. He now lives in Singapore and works as a mediator in armed conflict.

Book Synopsis Lost Souls of Lakewood by : Charlie Hodge
Download or read book Lost Souls of Lakewood written by Charlie Hodge and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2021-04-12 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GHOSTS HAUNT LAKEWOOD LANDS AND BLAYLOCK’S MANSION. WHO ARE THEY? WHY ARE THEY THERE? Straight out of a fairy tale or thriller movie, Blaylock's Mansion leaps into stunning view as one traverses a gentle curve in the road. Surrounded by spellbinding gardens and majestic trees, the 16,000-square-foot Tudor-Revival style architecture deep in the harsh, spectacular mountains of southeastern British Columbia captures the eye and the imagination. Selwyn G. Blaylock learned all about harsh and spectacular things. In 1899 the young metallurgist graduated from Quebec's McGill University and ventured to Trail, B.C. During the next three decades his meteoric rise to President of Consolidated Mining and Smelting (later known as Cominco) had tremendous impact around the world. Yet Blaylock was to pay a price in several ways. His life carried the great weight of expectation and demand, blended with responsibility and accountability. Some might suggest guilt. The controversial death of union organizer Ginger Goodwin remains linked to Blaylock, as does his role in ‘the bomb’ dropped on Japan. Many believed Selwyn to be a haunted man. Blaylock was not the only unique, larger-than-real-life character to live in the mansion or on the large property known as Lakewood. A number of fascinating characters also resided there before and after him. Some of them never left. From First Nation hunters, Hudson Bay Company workers, two mayors, freemasons, and a Civil War hero to a smooth-talking, high-rolling con man from California, veteran Canadian writer Charlie Hodge brings to life a variety of real and fictional characters and their common denominator in Lost Souls of Lakewood - The History and Mystery of Blaylock’s Mansion It features several spellbinding tales within the main story, each one worthy of its own novel. Lost Souls of Lakewood is a must read for anyone with an interest in history, mystery or ghosts.
