Download or read book Maybe I’Ll Be Cleverer Tomorrow written by Pamela Bradley and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The train rolls slowly into the platform, and there he is the man who for over four decades I have thought of as tough and critical, a man who could impale me with a few carefully chosen words. As I alight and walk towards him, I wonder what the hell the next few days will bring. When Pamela Bradley stepped off the train in Murwillumbah to visit her father, who at seventy-eight had chosen to live a solitary life Up North far from his family, she had no idea she was at the beginning of an intensely emotional journey. Faced with his slow decline, she set out to delve into his past to find those influences that might have shaped his character and helped to define her own, discovering much along the way that came as a complete surprise. In Maybe Ill Be Cleverer Tomorrow, Bradley shares an honest and personal memoir told with insight, humour and tenderness as she seamlessly moves between past and present. Throughout the story, she weaves some of the vital issues about loss, ageing and death that affect everyone, while the vignettes of a childhood and adolescence in the 1940s, 50s and 60s offer glimpses into an Australia that has long since disappeared.

Step back in time to the mesmerizing world of 19th-century New York, where the indomitable Nellie Bly dons the guise of a cunning ingenue to unravel the web of deception spun by the enigmatic Edward Phelps—the notorious "King Of The Lobby." March 1888. A blizzard has frozen all of New York, and Nellie Bly is going stir-crazy, stuck at home with her mother and her detestable brother Albert. When a political speech inspires her, she and Colonel Cockerill plot out her most daring undercover assignment since she emerged from the Blackwell's Island insane asylum: she's going to trap the most crooked man in politics, Edward R. Phelps, the self-styled "King" of the Albany lobby. Catching a fox as wily as Phelps will take all her nerve, and she's learning that her meteoric rise has left her with few allies in the newspaper world. On her own, she must first trap Phelps, then confront him before a jury of his allies: the state senators of New York. As Nellie Bly navigates the intricate corridors of power and influence, she exposes the hidden machinations behind the political curtain. Phelps, the mastermind lobbyist, pulls strings with the finesse of a puppeteer, manipulating the fate of New York State from the shadows. But Bly, armed with wit, determination, and a relentless pursuit of truth, infiltrates the world of privilege to unmask the secrets that threaten to undermine the very foundations of democracy. Based on the real-life events and her own reporting, Clever Girl shows Nellie Bly at her furious best! Uncover the hidden truths that lie beneath the polished veneer of the Gilded Age—Clever Girl will leave you breathless, questioning, and hungry for more.

Book Synopsis Russian Tales of Clever Fools: Complete Russian Folktale: v. 7 by : Jack V. Haney
Download or read book Russian Tales of Clever Fools: Complete Russian Folktale: v. 7 written by Jack V. Haney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the concluding installment of a splendid multi-volume work that makes available to English readers a rich folktale tradition that has not been easily accessible or well-known in the West. Compared to other European traditions, the East Slavs have an extremely large number of tale types. Using the Aarne-Thompson index to folktale types, and drawing on both archival and written sources dating back to the early sixteenth century, J.V. Haney has assembled and translated examples of the full range of tales. Nearly all of these tales appear here in translation for the first time. The tales in this volume center on the so-called fool, the village simpleton. However, Ivan, the Russian everyman, turns out to have far more sense than his would-be oppressors. The greedy priests and landlords and dim-witted demons who try to take advantage of him are easily outsmarted. In the end it is they who are shown to be the fools as Ivan outwits or outlasts them. In these unequal contests lies the pleasure of the tales.

Those who remain are scared, bewildered, and in need of a leader. Two emerge—Mother Abagail, the benevolent 108-year-old woman who urges them to build a peaceful community in Boulder, Colorado; and Randall Flagg, the nefarious “Dark Man,” who delights in chaos and violence.

As Catherine listens to Elizabeth's harrowing tale, she discovers that the women's lives are linked in shocking ways.

Book Synopsis Duty, Honor, and A Loaf of Bread by : Jan (Waldron) & Ed Votroubek
Download or read book Duty, Honor, and A Loaf of Bread written by Jan (Waldron) & Ed Votroubek and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-10-31 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like other families, letters were the fabric that held the fledgling Waldron family together during the personally trying, society changing events of World War II. Bill, the town baker, voluntarily became an infantry soldier and platoon scout in Europe and Marge, a new wife, became the town baker - the Waldron’s version of Rosie the Riveter. Nothing in their lives had prepared them for these roles yet everything in their lives made them equal to the tasks at hand. Their letters to one another provide an intimate view of an American family triumphing in the face of adversity. Duty, Honor, Faith, Love and Family all play a role and readers will come to love and admire both of them. Bill’s letters from the Battle of the Bulge, the Siegfreid Line and through the end of the war across Germany and into Czechoslovakia are particularly interesting. He reveals himself as a down to earth patriot who volunteered for a very dangerous job and excelled - a man with survivor’s instincts who avoided illness, frostbite and wounds under extremely difficult circumstances. Historical perspective is provided by sidebars throughout the book which explain matters referred to in the letters as well as what is going on in the war and at home. The sidebars are themselves an education, made immediate and interesting by the personal experiences conveyed in the letters. A really great read!
