Download or read book Rose Island written by Giorgio Rosa and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-13 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The memorial of Giorgio Rosa, a visionary mechanical engineer from Bologna, who designed and built Rose Island. His indipendent micronation was inaugurated in 1968 on a platform outside Italian national waters. This book proposes a reconstruction of its most significant stages, from the earliest enthusiasm for its accomplishment until its epilogue, namely the Italian Navy unlawful occupation and following destruction. An anarchical and utiopian but still contemporary story, rediscovered by Paolo Emilio Persiani in 2009 after having faded into oblivion. Later on it was transposed in books, films that are often far away from historical accuracy, main goal of this hand-written autobiography. "It was in the year 2008, that Dr Rosa thoroughly kept telling me his stories which seemed to have happened just the day before. Forty years had passed but his eyes were shining and still reflected his deep faith in what he had done. Unfortunately, David was defeated by Goliath, as we all know."Every free man's dream: to create an indipendent State. In this little unedited book Giorgio Rosa tells us how he actually built his micronation in international waters outside Rimini's coasts. An extraordinary, fascinating and "pirate-style" undertaking that took place in the revolutionary year 1968.

Book excerpt: "Rose Island, An Almost Accurate Account of Days Gone By" provides you with an exhilarating and nonstop roller coaster ride of a read that includes mysteries of ancient treasures, lost loves, and ghostly apparitions. This is the story of Claire Christiansen, a spoiled debutante from Louisville, and her friend Lutticia Smailes, a young gal from the hollers of Hazard, whose destinies fatefully cross during the summer before everything they hold dear is destroyed by the great Ohio River flood of 1937. Together they forge an eternal bond that will last beyond the grave. The mysteries of the now deserted amusement park, ROSE ISLAND, hurls the reader at warp speed through countless plot twists and turns, in both current time and days gone by. This includes a retelling of local legends surrounding Louisville, Utica, the Falls of the Ohio, and the tribes of the moon-eyed White Indians. This tale, although a work of fiction, is mightily based on places and people in and around Kentuckiana!

Book Synopsis Islands in Geography, Law, and Literature by : Chiara Battisti
Download or read book Islands in Geography, Law, and Literature written by Chiara Battisti and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-04-04 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection explores the heterogeneous places we have traditionally been taught to term ‘islands.’ It stages a conversation on the very idea of ‘island-ness’, thus contributing to a new field of research at the crossroads of law, geography, literature, urban planning, politics, arts, and cultural studies. The contributions to this volume discuss the notion of island-ness as a device triggering the imagination, triggering narratives and representations in different creative fields; they explore the interactions between legal, socio-political, and fictional approaches to remoteness and the ‘state of insularity,’ policy responses to both remoteness and boundaries on different scales, and the insular legal framing of geographical remoteness. The product of a cross-disciplinary exchange on islands, this edited volume will be of great interest to those working in the fields of Island Studies, as well as literary studies scholars, geographers, and legal scholars.

Book excerpt: 1865. In the city of Bath, a young woman renowned for her nursing skills is convinced that some other destiny will one day show itself to her. But when she finds herself torn between a dangerous affair with a female lover and the promise of a conventional marriage to an apparently respectable doctor, her desires begin to lead her towards a future she had never imagined. Meanwhile, in Borneo, an eccentric British 'rajah', Sir Ralph Savage, overflowing with philanthropy but compromised by his passions, sees his schemes relentlessly undermined by his own fragility, by man's innate greed and by the invasive power of the forest itself. Jane's quest for an altered life and Sir Ralph's endeavours become locked together as the story journeys across the globe -- from the confines of an English tearoom to the rainforests of a tropical island via the slums of Dublin and the transgressive fancy-dress boutiques of Paris.

This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning how to pilot a ship through Wrangell Narrows and Peril Strait is not an easy matter for a vessel operator new to the area, or even for those with experience. It takes time, patience, and a certain appetite for risk. The older generation of captains knew the channels in great detail, but they did not write anything down to leave for the next generation coming up through the ranks. Recognizing the wealth of the knowledge these navigators possessed in their memories, William Hopkins decided to document their charts and methods as he himself learned to maneuver ships through these important and narrow southeastern Alaska channels. A now retired captain who logged many voyages, Hopkins delineates the navigable courses for passing these treacherous waterways in this essential guide.
