Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life can be quite unexpected sometimes and one can confront unusual situations in the quietest of places. Sometimes incidents crop up that cannot be explained by logic and the past can loom up in a haunting sequence. Sometimes good intentions can go awry and speaking the truth can have dire consequences. And one can make a hash of things with the best of intentions. At other times even a single mistake can change one’s life. At a crunch one may need to play a trick to fight stupid superstition. And what eyes see may not always be the whole truth. What happens when a couple of strangers suddenly land up for shelter at Anita’s place one stormy evening? Can Deepak and Seema stop their grandmother from going away to live all alone in their ancestral house? What happens when all the servants suddenly vanish in the house with the long terrace? Can Tina play the role of George Washington successfully because she is keen to stand out as a heroine in real life? What happens when Ruby steps inside the old house where the dust is as thick as a carpet and there are cobwebs in every corner? Can one really judge a person by merely looking at the obvious? These are some of the situations the reader will come across and realize that life can be really amazing and often incredible. Six stories for teenagers/young adults.

It has sealed his reputation as one of Britain's most daring and original authors.

From achingly sad lost lives, through moments of exquisitely distilled happiness, to biblical innocence and savagery, Faber's characters are redeemed, abandoned, beloved and laid bare.

Download or read book The Celestial Railroad and Other Stories written by Nathaniel Hawthorne and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2006-08-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s insight into the Puritan’s simultaneous need for fulfillment and self-destruction, D. H. Lawrence wrote, “Nathaniel knew disagreeable things in his inner soul. He was careful to send them out in disguise.” By means of artfully crafted and compelling tales, Hawthorne explored the destinies and concerns of early American settlers and citizens. In several of the stories in this collection, characters who hold themselves apart from their fellow man fall prey to the corroding desires of lust for perfection. Then they unwittingly commit evils—against themselves and others—in the name of pride. Edgar Allan Poe noted of Hawthorne’s writing: “Every word tells, and there is not a word which does not tell.”

Download or read book Pumping Away and Other Really Cool Piping Options for Hydronic Systems written by Dan Holohan and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I wrote this book to describe the beautiful workings of hydronic heating systems and I tried to use words that made the subject spring to life in a visual way. It's been one of my best-selling books for years. I kept the drawings simple. Even if you've never worked with hydronics before, you'll be able to follow these drawings. The first part deals with boiler-room piping and explains how you can put the discoveries of the late, great Gil Carlson to work for you. If you pipe Gil's way, you'll save time, money and never again have to bleed radiators. Thousands of installers have reported great success by following the principles in the first part of this book. I wish I could take credit but the genius was Gil Carlson's. I just did my best to tell his story in plain English. The second half of the book takes the "Pumping Away" boiler-room piping design and applies it to a delicious menu of piping options. This is a book that you'll refer to again and again. It will save you time and money. And I guarantee that. - Dan Holohan

Download or read book Truth or Dare and Other Stories written by Nadia Kabir Barb and published by Renard Press Ltd. This book was released on 2023-07-26 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Right now, someone else’s life was in his hands. He couldn’t say whether it was a few seconds or minutes that they both stood staring at each other, but he had never been so scared in his life.’ In Truth or Dare we follow, spell-bound, as chance encounters bring violent pasts roaring into the present; we wait on tenterhooks as a woman sits by her husband’s hospital bed as both their lives hang in the balance; we watch anxiously as a homeless man begs a woman with her life and career stretching ahead of her not to jump to her death. By turns comedic, heart-wrenching and moving, these stories paint powerful pictures of pain, love and empathy, and celebrate the power we have over one another. From the rain-soaked waterways of London to the bustling streets of Dhaka, Truth or Dare is a stunning collection that spans two continents and sees the best and worst in both. 'The writer’s wonderfully crafted language and commendable flair make the characters’ emotions, their dreams, their fears, their disappointments, etc., recognisable and easy to empathise with. The plots are refreshingly different. The soul-stirring narrations as one engaging story follows another makes Truth or Dare a very worthwhile read. As we finish reading each story, we feel that we understand a little more about human nature, even though we experience a sense of loss at the same time.' The Asian Age 'Showcasing the best and worst of humanity, Truth or Dare is a powerful and riveting collection that will have you turning the pages until you’ve devoured every last word. Soaked in compassion, love and a host of other emotions, Nadia K Barb’s work will remind you of Gabriel Garcia Marquez at the height of his powers. Rich and evocative, this is a collection to be cherished and savoured.' Awais Khan, author of No Honour 'These stories draw you in, hold you, speak to you, tell you secrets, and show you worlds, and then let you go at just that point when you can’t stop thinking about them. Each one is a journey, each story a gem. Short fiction has a new torchbearer in Nadia Kabir Barb and this remarkable debut is just the beginning, I hope.' Nadeem Zaman, author of The Inheritors 'Nadia Kabir Barb writes with compassion and imagination about her characters, who are varied and richly drawn. She keeps the reader close to the stories, allowing us to experience their anguish, fears and joys on an intimate level.' Sharbari Z. Ahmed, author of Dust Under Her Feet 'Effortlessly switching between London and Dhaka, Nadia Kabir Barb’s humanity shines through in this tender and diverse collection.' Bee Rowlatt, author of One Woman Crime Wave 'Sharply observed and vivid in detail, Nadia Kabir Barb’s stories lay bare the poignant, the powerful, the traumatic moments on which our lives turn. These delicate, penetrating vignettes are glimpses that encapsulate a greater whole. Hers is a memorable short fiction debut.' Steven J. Fowler, author of The Guide to Being Bear Aware

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Call it a collection of stories or a compilation of human emotions, this is the second solo book of Ms Rimli Bhattacharya. The author calls herself a bohemian and travels around the globe in a caravan which is driven by rape, lust, lies, forbidden love, mental illness, homicide and death. This book had been crafted sitting in that caravan lost in myriad textures and flavours, with those mental demons screaming her to stop. She did not listen. The book which unleashes the dark domain of human mind makes it a compelling read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of short fiction has been written over a period of two decades. The stories do not belong to any particular genre . They could vary from addressing issues of national import to dealing with the trivia of everyday life. As with much of short fiction each story is a snapshot. Yet the attempt is to make each as complete as possible. In a sense the stories are a commentary on the India of today - it's strengths, it's weaknesses, it's frailties, it's eccentricities, it's idiosyncrasies.

Yep she really is an alien, and this edition collects the first four episodes in her tale. Long, long ago, there was war in the heart of the galaxy. The core stars were ripped apart by the fury of that conflict. Lucky is a survivor from it. Her ship charts a careful course, ploughing its lonely furrow between the stars, always away from what she once knew. She'd stop running but it's now all she knows. Eventually she comes upon a back-water of the Milky Way, known locally as Orion's Belt. Also in this collection, four short stories: After School - civilisation is collapsing, even in the UK. Writing Day - a tale of the last library on Earth. Flower to Tree - all SF nightmares have a beginning. Joe and the Xenophids - humanity are next up on the extinction list.
