Download or read book The Kites written by Romain Gary and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romain Gary’s bittersweet final masterpiece is “epic and empathetic” (BBC) and “one of his best” (The New York Times) The Kites begins with a young boy, Ludo, coming of age on a small farm in Normandy under the care of his eccentric kite-making Uncle Ambrose. Ludo’s life changes the day he meets Lila, a girl from the aristocratic Polish family that owns the estate next door. In a single glance, Ludo falls in love forever; Lila, on the other hand, disappears back into the woods. And so begins Ludo’s adventure of longing, passion, and love for the elusive Lila, who begins to reciprocate his feelings just as Europe descends into World War II. After Germany invades Poland, Lila and her family go missing, and Ludo’s devotion to saving her from the Nazis becomes a journey to save his love, his loved ones, his country, and ultimately himself. Filled with unforgettable characters who fling all they have into the fight to keep their hopes—and themselves—alive, The Kites is Romain Gary’s poetic call for resistance in whatever form it takes. A war hero himself, Gary embraced and fought for humanity in all its nuanced complexities, in the belief that a hero might be anyone who has the courage to love and hope.

Download or read book The Kites of Love written by Enadene McFarlane and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-04-09 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maud and her cousins launch their kites deep into the heaven, from the lookout cliff in Montego, Jamaica. Their hope is with the hurricane wind forces of 1917, their kites will be washed up on the shores of Cuba. The experience of the lift and drag forces of the kites that Maud learned from the neighbor Andrew convinces her that kite flying is the way to contact her parents. Maud's grandmother, MamaJames, hasn't received a letter from her daughter and son-in-law for many years. The letters suddenly stop coming. Maud becomes worried that something is seriously wrong. Now eleven years old, Maud remembers the nurturing touch of her mother. The connection she misses so much she found comfort in her mother's pillow. Maud will sniff her mother's pillow and inhale the stained aroma of her mother's bosom embedded on the pillow. She longs for her mother. Anxiety is building up. The fear of losing her grandmother from her many illnesses and being alone frightens Maud. Eight years have passed since Ann and Jon, Maud's parents, left Jamaica to work on the tobacco plantation in Cuba. They have satisfied their work contract six years ago. The cargo ship and the interest of the plantation owners that brought them and other immigrants to Cuba refuse to grant them access to return to their homeland. Slavery ended, but the Negroes in both countries, Cuba and Jamaica, feel enslaved by the rigid conditions set forth by the White settlers and other lighter-complexioned Negroes. They fought back in their own way to preserve their dignity and happiness as they face many challenges. Maud misses her mother more than ever, and there are no more letters. She does the most miraculous thing: bringing her family together to fly kites. As the 1917 hurricane descends on the shores of Cuba days later, bringing torrential rain, and everything in the atmosphere is dumped on the shores of Cuba, Maud waits...
