Book excerpt: In 1533, Atahualpa, leader of the Inca people, was killed. Decapitated. But before his death he vowed he would return one day. He would return in the form of Inkarri, and he would avenge his own wrongful death and that of his people. Today, in modern Peru, there are some who still await that return and look for their savior. James Leaf, was not looking for the deluxe tour, much less the savior of the Incas. He was not looking for friendship with strangers, much less dependence on them for his life. But James rarely receives what he looks for. So it is James who is thrust into the center of ancient prophecies, bitter destinies, and cruel battles. Most importantly, James finds himself embroiled in a war of his own conscience. While confronted with lies of good and evil, he must discover first, what truths lay in his own heart.
Download or read book My Time Will Come written by Ian Manuel and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspiring story of activist and poet Ian Manuel, who at the age of fourteen was sentenced to life in prison. He survived eighteen years in solitary confinement—through his own determination and dedication to art—until he was freed as part of an incredible crusade by the Equal Justice Initiative. “Ian is magic. His story is difficult and heartbreaking, but he takes us places we need to go to understand why we must do better. He survives by relying on a poetic spirit, an unrelenting desire to succeed, to recover, and to love. Ian’s story says something hopeful about our future.” —Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy The United States is the only country in the world that sentences thirteen- and fourteen-year-old offenders, mostly youth of color, to life in prison without parole. In 1991, Ian Manuel, then fourteen, was sentenced to life without parole for a non-homicide crime. In a botched mugging attempt with some older boys, he shot a young white mother of two in the face. But as Bryan Stevenson, attorney and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative, has insisted, none of us should be judged by only the worst thing we have ever done. Capturing the fullness of his humanity, here is Manuel’s powerful testimony of growing up homeless in a neighborhood riddled with poverty, gang violence, and drug abuse—and of his efforts to rise above his circumstances, only to find himself, partly through his own actions, imprisoned for two-thirds of his life, eighteen years of which were spent in solitary confinement. Here is the story of how he endured the savagery of the United States prison system, and how his victim, an extraordinary woman, forgave him and bravely advocated for his freedom, which was achieved by an Equal Justice Initiative push to address the barbarism of our judicial system and bring about “just mercy.” Full of unexpected twists and turns as it describes a struggle for redemption, My Time Will Come is a paean to the capacity of the human will to transcend adversity through determination and art—in Ian Manuel’s case, through his dedication to writing poetry.
Book Synopsis No Ordinary Greek Odyssey by : Suzi STEMBRIDGE
Download or read book No Ordinary Greek Odyssey written by Suzi STEMBRIDGE and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHERE THE BLUE TRULY BEGINS This fascinating illustrated memoir captures the beauty and history of Greece in the thirty years between 1960-1989. With over 75 black and white photographs by Simon Stembridge, it is written through the eyes of two young people who began travelling to Greece in the early 1960s and then with children made mainland Greece and many of its islands their main holiday destination. Book One WHERE THE BLUE TRULY BEGINS goes up into the blue sky at the dawn of a charter flight holiday industry, across the not always blue sea on very basic Greek ferries, travelling the blue-green mountains and smelling the thyme permeating their Greek meanderings. Out of The Blue could easily have been an alternative title, given that the Covid 19 Pandemic occurred while the author worked on this account. Suzi writes movingly, interspersing her feelings and emotions through the pages with the realisation that their planned 2020 summer visit to Greece is unlikely to go ahead. Those, especially like Suzi and her family, who found their 2020 plans dashed will delight in the spiritual reflections of the authors who deliberately made their exploration of Greece, one of venturing to the remote and unusual places. Their wonder in each new place, mainland region or island is captured in these pages. Their quest through a lifetime in travel to Greece made it a challenge to find different and stunning locations each year. When these places become harder to unearth would the family eventually put down roots in Greece? By the nineteen-eighties these adventures and journeys had indeed become 'employment' when first Suzi was invited to work for a small independent tour operator, then another, which progressively led first to Suzi founding her own travel agency GRECO-FILE Ltd and inevitably her own tour operation FILOXENIA Ltd. This work brought the family into contact with many interesting people including many eminent members of the travel press as well as writers, artists and Greek aristocrats. As the business grows Simon, retiring as a production editor on the Yorkshire Post, and Oliver, leaving college will join her ... more on that story later!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most chess games of beginners and post-beginners are decided by fairly straightforward tactics. Anyone who wants to progress beyond this level and become a strong club player or a candidate master, needs to understand that somewhat mysterious-looking resource, the positional sacrifice. International Master Merijn van Delft has studied and loved positional sacrifices for as long as he can remember. This non-forcing tool is not just a surprising and highly effective way of creating a decisive advantage during a game. Positional sacrifices are also instruments of superior beauty. Van Delft has created a unique thematic structure for all types of positional sacrifices. He shows the early historical examples, explains which long-term goals are typical for each fundamental theme and presents lots of instructive modern examples. He then concentrates on those sacrifices that have become standard features of positional play. Solving the exercises he has added will further enhance your skills. Playing a positional sacrifice will always require courage. Merijn van Delft takes you by the hand and not only teaches the essential technical know-how, he also helps you to recognize the opportunities when to take the plunge. Mastering Positional Sacrifices is bound to become a modern-day classic.

Book Synopsis Rural Space in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Age by : Albrecht Classen
Download or read book Rural Space in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Age written by Albrecht Classen and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-05-29 with total page 932 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Older research on the premodern world limited its focus on the Church, the court, and, more recently, on urban space. The present volume invites readers to consider the meaning of rural space, both in light of ecocritical readings and social-historical approaches. While previous scholars examined the figure of the peasant in the premodern world, the current volume combines a large number of specialized studies that investigate how the natural environment and the appearance of members of the rural population interacted with the world of the court and of the city. The experience in rural space was important already for writers and artists in the premodern era, as the large variety of scholarly approaches indicates. The present volume signals how much the surprisingly close interaction between members of the aristocratic and of the peasant class determined many literary and art-historical works. In a surprisingly large number of cases we can even discover elements of utopia hidden in rural space. We also observe how much the rural world was a significant element already in early-medieval mentality. Moreover, as many authors point out, the impact of natural forces on premodern society was tremendous, if not catastrophic.
