Book excerpt: "Chris Orcutt serves up a deliciously cheeky and ironic collection of short stories that offer glimpses into the perilous lives of ten men from vastly different walks of life and eras."* An IndieReader Best Book of 2013.

The Bootlegger... goes to extraordinary lengths to provide for his family during the Great Depression. The Speechwriter... contends with something all men have since the beginning of time--gut-wrenching temptation. The Dogcatcher... earns his living finding the lost dogs of uber-wealthy clients. The Civil War General... reveals the pitiful but hilarious depths of his own self-deception. Brimming with action-adventure, ample humor, and clean, picturesque writing, The Man, The Myth, The Legend combines the compelling narrative drive of great movies ("What happens next?") with the gemlike beauty of the short story form. Readers Say: "Chris Orcutt's writing is a surprise at every turn of the page. The writing is impeccable and filled with underlying humor and wit."

"Let this book take you away from the ordinary and whisk you away to other worlds of interesting lives. You'll find yourself engrossed in every chapter, thinking about the stories you've read days later."

Whether it is a hunter in Africa, or a feisty General of a Civil War-era army, a gentlemanly writer, a senior road engineer, dogcatcher, or an artist daring to live outside New England, Orcutt highlights the tongue-in-cheek intrigue, danger and adventure in each man's life. Orcutt's fresh, lively descriptions preserve the irony of the stories, as with the description of Nick Carraway's 'mean little bungalow that quaked in the shadow of Gatsby's mansion like a tick beneath a Burmese elephant....' Orcutt's glib use of language and deft ability to switch into multifarious voices and writing styles captures the nuances of time, setting and mentality of each protagonist...making each story unique, engaging and insightful. The Man, The Myth, The Legend is a stimulating and entertaining collection of stories about the adventure in every man's life, work and passion. (5 stars; IR approved)" —IndieReader

Download or read book Iron John written by Robert Bly and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2004-07-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this deeply learned book, poet and translator Robert Bly offers nothing less than a new vision of what it is to be a man.Bly's vision is based on his ongoing work with men and reflections on his own life. He addresses the devastating effects of remote fathers and mourns the disappearance of male initiation rites in our culture. Finding rich meaning in ancient stories and legends, Bly uses the Grimm fairy tale "Iron John," in which the narrator, or "Wild Man," guides a young man through eight stages of male growth, to remind us of archetypes long forgotten-images of vigorous masculinity, both protective and emotionally centered.Simultaneously poetic and down-to-earth, combining the grandeur of myth with the practical and often painful lessons of our own histories, Iron John is a rare work that will continue to guide and inspire men-and women-for years to come.

Book Synopsis Robert E. Lee by : Brandon Marie Miller
Download or read book Robert E. Lee written by Brandon Marie Miller and published by Boyds Mills Press. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive young adult biography of the life of one of the most mythologized men in American and Civil War history: General Lee of the Confederate States Army Robert E. Lee’s life was filled with responsibility and loyalty. Born to a Revolutionary War hero, Lee learned a sense of duty and restraint after weathering scandals brought on by his father and eldest brother. He found the perfect way to channel this sense of duty at West Point, where he spent his days under rigorous teachers who taught him the organizational skills and discipline he would apply for the rest of his life. The military became Lee’s life: he was often away from his beloved family, making strides with the Army, forcibly expanding the United States toward the Western coastline, and fighting the Mexican-American War. And ultimately, the military and his defining role therein—General of the Confederate Army—would prove to be Lee’s legacy. Author Brandon Marie Miller separates fact from fiction and reveals the complex truth behind who Lee was as a person, a soldier, a general, and a father. The book includes numerous archival images, as well as original quotations, a timeline, an author's note, a family tree, source notes, a bibliography, and an index.
Book Synopsis You Never Forget Your First by : Alexis Coe
Download or read book You Never Forget Your First written by Alexis Coe and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AN NPR CONCIERGE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR “In her form-shattering and myth-crushing book….Coe examines myths with mirth, and writes history with humor… [You Never Forget Your First] is an accessible look at a president who always finishes in the first ranks of our leaders.” —Boston Globe Alexis Coe takes a closer look at our first--and finds he is not quite the man we remember Young George Washington was raised by a struggling single mother, demanded military promotions, caused an international incident, and never backed down--even when his dysentery got so bad he had to ride with a cushion on his saddle. But after he married Martha, everything changed. Washington became the kind of man who named his dog Sweetlips and hated to leave home. He took up arms against the British only when there was no other way, though he lost more battles than he won. After an unlikely victory in the Revolutionary War cast him as the nation's hero, he was desperate to retire, but the founders pressured him into the presidency--twice. When he retired years later, no one talked him out of it. He left the highest office heartbroken over the partisan nightmare his backstabbing cabinet had created. Back on his plantation, the man who fought for liberty must confront his greatest hypocrisy--what to do with the men, women, and children he owns--before he succumbs to death. With irresistible style and warm humor, You Never Forget Your First combines rigorous research and lively storytelling that will have readers--including those who thought presidential biographies were just for dads--inhaling every page.

Other than fall for the handsome prince, stir up trouble with the foppish Lord Gawain, and offend the prissy Princess Guinevere.

Download or read book Seven Lives of the Devil's Spawn written by Michael Francis McMonagle and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seven Lives of the Devil's Spawn: From Destruction to Salvation - A True Wild Cat Story provides an inside look at some of the most fascinating cultures in the world, ones that we will never see with the intensity of this wild cat deep hole driller. Michael Francis McMonagle's amazing biography tells the true-life story of a nobody. He's not the president of a country, a sports star or a member of a rock band. Instead, follow along with this humble kiwi (New Zealander) as he details his wild cat drilling career in exotic locales. McMonagle's life in the drilling industry pulls no punches, from seeing the tribal wars in the Papua, New Guinea highlands to crashing a chopper and being only one of two survivors, to living with headhunters and viewing cannibalism firsthand. His death-defying adventures take him from Africa to Antarctica. He was held hostage in the Philippines, where he suffered horrendous abuse and nearly died, and he's met and worked with Osama Bin Laden. Warning: Nothing is held back from this heart-stopping and gritty memoir. Its language may be offensive to some, but the story is unforgettable. Michael Francis McMonagle lives with his wife, Tina, in New Zealand, and is currently writing the sequel. "When I was taken hostage in the Philippines, I thought I was going to die. I told myself if I survived, I'd write my true life story. This I've done." His goal is to live life to the fullest and to have a loving family. http: //SBPRA.com/MichaelFrancisMcMonagle

When Cleve and William discover one that endangers the American people, and those in Harris, Cleve must convince William to keep quiet. Travis, now in his eighties, follows his memories back to the mountains he loved in his youth, only to discover a renewed passion for life and a fresh love for his children. As they have always done, the Britt family takes care of each other. And they all wait to find out what sacrifices the family must now make.
