Book Synopsis The Good and the Ghastly by : James Boice
Download or read book The Good and the Ghastly written by James Boice and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-06-14 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s the thirty-fourth century and the nuclear apocalypse has come and gone. Civilization has rebuilt itself, and the results are eerily similar to the early part of the twenty-first century. But there are a few notable differences. Visa owns everything. Deer are the most common domesticated animal. And misinterpretations of preapocalyptic history run amuck (e.g., Sarah Palin established the theory of natural selection). But what hasn’t changed is the nature of good and evil. The Good and the Ghastly centers on two people linked through violence. Mobster Junior Alvarez has risen from street thug to criminal overlord. He will go to incredible lengths to get what he wants—and he desires to live however he pleases, without compromise. The intensity of his quest is matched only by that of the mother of one of Alvarez’s first victims. She has gone vigilante and is hunting down mobsters. The two are prepared to go to the ends of the earth to manifest their wills—one good, one ghastly, both ruthless. A wild satire of our own society, The Good and the Ghastly is a visceral novel informed by Boice’s unnerving sense of reality and pathology. It is also an honest, old-fashioned good-versus-evil story—with a twist of modern-day madness.

Book excerpt: Padraic Tuohy or Poet as he is known is a musician, poet and dreamer: but he is about to get his world shattered by events that drive him to the very edge of madness. A collection of disparate characters collude to drag him screaming back to a reality he is ill equipped to deal with. A mysterious beauty who seems to be stalking him, a Glaswegian psychopath and his weird companion, lethal college professors and a hooded drug gang all take him as far out of his comfort zone as it is possible to imagine forcing him to re-evaluate his whole life and make decisions no gentle poet should have to make.

Sideways is the story of two friends-Miles and Jack-going away together for the last time to steep themselves in everything that makes it good to be young and single: pinot, putting, and prowling bars. In the week before Jack plans to marry, the pair heads out from Los Angeles to the Santa Ynez wine country. For Jack, the tasting tour is Seven Days to D-Day, his final stretch of freedom. For Miles--who has divorced his wife, is facing an uncertain career and has lost his passion for living-the trip is a week long opportunity to evaluate his past, his future and himself.
Book Synopsis 365 Glasses of Wine by : Helen Brown
Download or read book 365 Glasses of Wine written by Helen Brown and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After finding myself out of work, I needed something that would keep my brain working on an intellectual level higher than housework provided. I joined Photo a Day in August 2013, and it helped. However, my world was becoming very small as I traveled very little, even to town. I found by the end of August 2014 that I was struggling to find photos that werent just repeated. So I made a decision to take a break. Four days later, my life was turned upside down when my parents were involved in a car accident that took the life of my mother and kept my father in the hospital for three months. At the beginning of November, I decided to try again, but it wasnt long when I was dealing with the same problem as before. Depression was also becoming an increasing issue, and I prayed that God would help me find a way to deal with it on my own. My mother was no longer available to talk to. One morning, it came to me that I might try to write a story using the prompt as the title and take a photo related to the story. It seemed almost crazy but anything was worth a try. After all, I could only fail to deliver, and there would be no shame in that, just only in not trying. I surprised myself! There are some times when I would sit at the computer and have no idea what I was going to write and bit by bit the words would come. There have also been times when I have written more than one story. Other photos have also inspired stories. It was one of my daughters who suggested that I put 366 of them together so you will have a story for each day to read. These are much shorter than my other creations, but I still pray that they will inspire you to keep going when life throws you a spanner. Isaiah 55:8 says, For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, said the Lord. How true!
Book Synopsis Early Bisbee by : Annie Graeme Larkin
Download or read book Early Bisbee written by Annie Graeme Larkin and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015-08-24 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before Bisbee became a bustling mining camp, it was a haven to Native Americans for centuries. However, their presence brought the intrusion of army scouts and prospectors into the Mule Mountains. The coincidental discovery of vast mineral wealth at the future site of Bisbee permanently affixed the fate of the land forever. Rising from the remote desert was a dynamic mining city, a city that grew into one of the most influential communities in the West. Bisbee was unique in the Old West because of the mixed moral values. High society and the decadent underworld lived in a delicate balance, but a vibrant multicultural community was forged from these social fires.

Book Synopsis A Portrait of the Artist as Australian by : Paul Matthew St. Pierre
Download or read book A Portrait of the Artist as Australian written by Paul Matthew St. Pierre and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2004 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first critical assessment of Humphries' entire oeuvre, especially his career as an author. Arguing that Humphries is one of Australia's greatest writers, the author reveals a multi-faceted artist whose success is rooted in the British music hall tradition, Dadaism and grotesquerie. Being Australian has also fundamentally shaped the performer and writer, and the author's defence of Humphries against charges of expatriatism is pertinent to the debate on Australian national identity.

Download or read book We, the Drowned written by Carsten Jensen and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2011-02-09 with total page 848 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the wondrous sea and the oddities of human nature in this international bestselling, thrilling epic novel of a Danish port town. Hailed in Europe as an instant classic, We, the Drowned is the story of the port town of Marstal, Denmark, whose inhabitants sailed the world from the mid-nineteenth century to the end of the Second World War. The novel tells of ships wrecked and blown up in wars, of places of terror and violence that continue to lure each generation; there are cannibals here, shrunken heads, prophetic dreams, and miraculous survivals. The result is a brilliant seafaring novel, a gripping saga encompassing industrial growth, the years of expansion and exploration, the crucible of the first half of the twentieth century, and most of all, the sea. Called “one of the most exciting authors in Nordic literature” by Henning Mankell, Carsten Jensen has worked as a literary critic and a journalist, reporting from China, Cambodia, Latin America, the Pacific Islands, and Afghanistan. He lives in Copenhagen and Marstal. “We, the Drowned sets sail beyond the narrow channels of the seafaring genre and approaches Tolstoy in its evocation of war’s confusion, its power to stun victors and vanquished alike…A gorgeous, unsparing novel.”—Washington Post “A generational saga, a swashbuckling sailor’s tale, and the account of a small town coming into modernity—both Melville and Steinbeck might have been pleased to read it.”—New Republic “Dozens of stories coalesce into an odyssey taut with action and drama and suffused with enough heart to satisfy readers who want more than the breakneck thrills of ships battling the elements.”—Publishers Weekly (starred)

With the British consulate offering little help, Julia must use her charm and tenacity to follow the clues and unravel the mystery left in Colin's wake. Book one of The Julia Probyn Mysteries, The Lighthearted Quest has Ann Bridge's trademark blend of humour and adventure which transports us to exotic places, but also throws a good deal of light on the explosive political issues that French Morocco encountered in the 50s.
