Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Melissa Clark was walking in a downpour on a city street in New York in 1987 when lightning strike nearby. After the flash, life as she knew it changed for her. For the city street now was a country lane and a handsome man in a blue spangled coat on horseback suddenly appear before her. She found the supposedly wet paved road, a dry dirt road and instead of a city curb, shrubs appeared on both sides of the street. Captain Thomas Brocade was traveling with a handful of his crew one clear evening in Bristol, England, in 1687 when a body suddenly appeared before him. Instinctively the body rolled into the brush before his horse could step on it. Once he realized it was a lady, he leaped from his horse to come to her aid, offering his hand to her. But the lady was no lady, she slapped his hand away and rose on her own. He could see the angry fire in her eyes and was enthralled with the young lady before him. She was full of spirit, unlike any woman he had ever encountered before. Her manner of speech, her dress, and attribute was intriguing. But her talk concerned him also. Was she mad, or was she in fact a time traveler from the future? Either way, he must have her, no matter what she wanted. So the captain took her by force to his ship and set sail for the West Indies. Melissa discovered he and his crew were pirates, and his destination was Port Royal, the wickedest city in the world. And the captain’s interest in her was to make her his life-long companion, his woman, the captain’s tart, or give her to his crew for their pleasures if she refused him. Here’s where the battle of the sexes fight to death. And the modern world and the age-old beliefs debate for supremacy where two quite different personalities clash. Will the beautiful Melissa win the war and return to her time and home? Or will the handsome Thomas win this war, her heart, and keep her with him for their lifetime? Among the adventures was a visit to South Caroline and a pirate island. Along the way, they encountered a massive storm, battles with enemy ships, and a pair of dolphins at play.
Download or read book Titanic Survivor written by Violet Jessop and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2012-04-04 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violet Jessop's life is an inspiring story of survival. Born in 1887 in Argentina, the eldest child of Irish immigrants, at the age of 21 she became the breadwinner for her widowed mother and five siblings when she commenced a career as a stewardess and nurse on some of the most famous ocean going vessels of the day. Throughout her 40 year time at sea she survived an unbelievable series of events including the sinking of the TITANIC. “One awful moment of empty, misty blackness enveloped us in its loneliness, then an unforgettable, agonizing cry went up from 1500 despairing throats, a long wail and then silence and our tiny craft tossing about at the mercy of the ice field.” For most people one sinking would be enough. But four years later Violet, now a nurse with the British Red Cross, was on board the World War I hospital ship BRITANNIC when it struck a mine and sank to the bottom of the Aegean. To her, this disaster was even more horrifying-- “Just as life seeming nothing but a whirling, choking ache, I rose to the light of day, my nose barely above the little lapping waves. I opened my eyes on an indescribable scene of slaughter, which made me shut them again to keep it out." By the end of her story we have a met a woman who could handle whatever life threw at her with determination and good humor. She knew that only by her own strength of character would she survive. But Titanic Survivor is much more. A unique autobiography for those who want to know how it really felt, a story that could be told only by a Titanic Survivor.

Book Synopsis Postcolonial Film by : Rebecca Weaver-Hightower
Download or read book Postcolonial Film written by Rebecca Weaver-Hightower and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-24 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postcolonial Film: History, Empire, Resistance examines films of the later twentieth and early twenty-first centuries from postcolonial countries around the globe. In the mid twentieth century, the political reality of resistance and decolonization lead to the creation of dozens of new states, forming a backdrop to films of that period. Towards the century’s end and at the dawn of the new millennium, film continues to form a site for interrogating colonization and decolonization, though against a backdrop that is now more neo-colonial than colonial and more culturally imperial than imperial. This volume explores how individual films emerged from and commented on postcolonial spaces and the building and breaking down of the European empire. Each chapter is a case study examining how a particular film from a postcolonial nation emerges from and reflects that nation’s unique postcolonial situation. This analysis of one nation’s struggle with its coloniality allows each essay to investigate just what it means to be postcolonial.

Download or read book The King Arthur Trilogy written by Bernard Cornwell and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 1325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bernard Cornwell's internationally bestselling King Arthur Trilogy tells the mythic saga of King Arthur and is the work of a magnificent storyteller at the height of his powers. THE WINTER KING The novel is set in Dark Age Britain in a land where Arthur has been banished and Merlin has disappeared, where a child-king sits unprotected on the throne, where religion vies with magic for the souls of the people. It is to this desperate land that Arthur returns, a man at once utterly human and truly heroic; a man who loves Guinevere more passionately than he should; a man whose life is at once tragic and triumphant. ENEMY OF GOD Having defeated the last holdouts of civil war in southern Britain, Arthur has secured Mordred's throne. But he must still face raging conflicts between the old ways and the new, as well as foes more powerful and more dangerous--because they pose as friends. EXCALIBUR The unforgettable tale of Arthur's final struggles against the Saxons and his last attempts to triumph over a ruined marriage and ravaged dreams as forces both earthly and unearthly threaten everything Arthur stands for. Peopled by princesses and bards, by warriors and magicians, Excalibur is the story of love, war, loyalty, and betrayal.
Book Synopsis Billy Budd & Other Stories by : Herman Melville
Download or read book Billy Budd & Other Stories written by Herman Melville and published by Wordsworth Editions. This book was released on 1998 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stung by the critical reception and lack of commercial success of his previous two works, Moby-Dick and Pierre, Herman Melville became obsessed with the difficulties of communicating his vision to readers. His sense of isolation lies at the heart of these later works. "Billy Budd, Sailor," a classic confrontation between good and evil, is the story of an innocent young man unable to defend himself against a wrongful accusation. The other selections here-"Bartleby," "The Encantadas," "Benito Cereno," and "The Piazza"-also illuminate, in varying guises, the way fictions are created and shared with a wider society. In his introduction Frederick Busch discusses Melville's preoccupation with his "correspondence with the world," his quarrel with silence, and why fiction was, for Melville, "a matter of life and death."
