Download or read book A Distant Dream written by Levi Kaufman and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2008-06-25 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Distant Dream by Levi Kaufman, a historical novel, is set against the vivid backdrop of Medieval Europe and the religious hostility that was its hallmark. In the year 1290, England's twelve thousand Jews became the continent's first community to face expulsion. Despite oppressive and unfair taxes and restrictive living conditions, the Jews had somehow managed to survive and even prosper. Now they were to be forced to abandon their homes and belongings. Where should the uprooted families go? Would any other Christian nations welcome them? Would they be allowed to remain in any one place for more than a few years? Perhaps some tired and idealistic English Jew dreamed of breaking away from Europe and the ever-deepening anguish of his exiled people. Perhaps he spoke to others around him and, together, they make plans. Perhaps there were some who dared to set out for some new land where they could live their lives as Jews. Where they could live undisturbed by the outside world...Marbitz Media

Book Synopsis A Distant Dream by : Vivienne Dockerty
Download or read book A Distant Dream written by Vivienne Dockerty and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 1847 during the Irish Potato Famine. Three year old Molly Mayo goes missing whilst her family are away at her mother's funeral. Maggie, her sister, has gone to England to start a new life there and believes that her sibling is being cared for by a relative, but the Filbeys, a childless couple who live in the area, have other plans. A new world beckons, a place of golden opportunity for a hardworking couple and the little girl will thrive in this distant land. The book, part of a trilogy beginning with A Woman Undefeated (Maggie’s story) traces the generations throughout the years, until 1957 when young Patrick Mayo, made an orphan in the war years and sent to Australia as part of the re-population scheme, completes the family circle by returning to his Irish homeland. This saga is one of dreams, tragedy and unrequited love, along with the highs and lows of settlers' fortunes on the other side of the world. It highlights their endurance and fortitude in an otherwise hostile land. The continuation of this Dockerty saga, along with Dreams Can Come True, is a thought provoking read that delves into the historical happenings in Ireland in the middle of the 19th century "I loved writing A Woman Undefeated. I felt very close to Maggie, my main character, especially on a sunny afternoon when I felt her presence as I was typing at the dining room table. I wanted this to continue with Molly" comments Vivienne Dockerty.

In the case of Mr. Bradley (Buddy) Karr, a man with little more than the ambition to get a good night’s sleep, these mysteries come to surface in the twisted events of his five recurring dreams; each traveling a path to question science and faith. Why can he recall the events of these nocturnal adventures, but not comprehend a single word of dialog. Buddy undergoes sleep observation tests with speech inducement drugs. The analytic comparisons of the gibberish recorded by the clinic and his clear awakened narrations provide clues, but they are still unable to decipher any word meanings. Buddy’s tapes are sent to linguists and cryptologists for translation whereby a startling composition is finally created; one that generates broader questions. Buddy begins his own quest to locate sources ignoring advice and warnings from his doctors and friends. Aided by of a fair-weathered friendly clergyman: Reverend John Benson, the two set out to follow clues as Buddy becomes obsessed with the pursuit of a resolution that might cost him his life and endanger his friends and colleagues. Time has become a factor as Reverend Benson ponders his own beliefs. Failure in his mission could bring him to say goodbye to a healthy vibrant young victim of an ungodly mistake .
