Download or read book Sacred Hunger written by Barry Unsworth and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2012-01-10 with total page 647 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Booker Prize A historical novel set in the eighteenth century, Sacred Hunger is a stunning, engrossing exploration of power, domination, and greed in the British Empire as it entered fully into the slave trade and spread it throughout its colonies. Barry Unsworth follows the failing fortunes of William Kemp, a merchant pinning his last chance to a slave ship; his son who needs a fortune because he is in love with an upper-class woman; and his nephew who sails on the ship as its doctor because he has lost all he has loved. The voyage meets its demise when disease spreads among the slaves and the captain's drastic response provokes a mutiny. Joining together, the sailors and the slaves set up a secret, utopian society in the wilderness of Florida, only to await the vengeance of the single-minded, young Kemp.

Download or read book Moon Tiger written by Penelope Lively and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A powerful, moving and beautifully wrought novel about the ways in which lives are molded by personal memory and the collective past.” —The Boston Globe Winner of the Man Booker Prize Elderly, uncompromising Claudia Hampton lies in a London hospital bed with memories of life fluttering through her fading consciousness. An author of popular history, Claudia proclaims she’s carrying out her last project: a history of the world. This history turns out to be a mosaic of her life, her own story tangled with those of her brother, her lover and father of her daughter, and the center of her life, Tom, her one great love found and lost in war-torn Egypt. Always the independent woman, often with contentious relationships, Claudia’s personal history is complex and fascinating. As people visit Claudia, they shake and twist the mosaic, changing speed, movement, and voice, to reveal themselves and Claudia’s impact on their world. “Emotionally, Moon Tiger is kaleidoscopic, deeply satisfying. The all too brief encounter between Claudia and Tom will surely rate as one of the most memorable of contemporary fictional affairs. This is one of the best novels I have read for years.” —The London Sunday Telegraph “It pulls us in; it engages us and saddens us. It is also unexpectedly funny . . . It leaves its traces in the air long after you’ve put it away.” —The New York Times Book Review “One of the very best Booker winners . . . it asks hard questions about memory and history and personal legacy; it’s stylistically demanding and inventive . . . a wonderful book.” —The Guardian
Download or read book The Prize written by Daniel Yergin and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-09-11 with total page 1094 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Prize recounts the panoramic history of oil -- and the struggle for wealth power that has always surrounded oil. This struggle has shaken the world economy, dictated the outcome of wars, and transformed the destiny of men and nations. The Prize is as much a history of the twentieth century as of the oil industry itself. The canvas of this history is enormous -- from the drilling of the first well in Pennsylvania through two great world wars to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and Operation Desert Storm. The cast extends from wildcatters and rogues to oil tycoons, and from Winston Churchill and Ibn Saud to George Bush and Saddam Hussein. The definitive work on the subject of oil and a major contribution to understanding our century, The Prize is a book of extraordinary breadth, riveting excitement -- and great importance.
Download or read book In a Free State written by V. S. Naipaul and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-03-30 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Nobel Prize-winning author comes a riveting tour de force that examines emigration, dislocation, and dread. “The coolest literary eye and the most lucid prose we have.” —The New York Times Book Review No writer has rendered our boundariless, post-colonial world more acutely or prophetically than V. S. Naipaul, or given its upheavals such a hauntingly human face. In the beginning it is just a car trip through Africa. Two English people—Bobby, a civil servant with a guilty appetite for African boys, and Linda, a supercilious “compound wife”—are driving back to their enclave after a stay in the capital. But in between lies the landscape of an unnamed country whose squalor and ethnic bloodletting suggest Idi Amin’s Uganda. And the farther Naipaul’s protagonists travel into it, the more they find themselves crossing the line that separates privileged outsiders from horrified victims. Alongside this Conradian tour de force are four incisive portraits of men seeking liberation far from home. By turns funny and terrifying, sorrowful and unsparing, In A Free State is Naipaul at his best.

Book excerpt: Over the years the Health and fitness concepts used are too difficult to understand. If you are a health enthusiast, trying to gain weight, lose weight, build muscle, or just being fit, you might have come across a lot of confusing and variety of complex advice. The source of information on what is the "best" way to be healthy and fit can often be daunting. One article will say that eggs, butter and meat are not good for your health by covering only the bad effects of it where as another article will put these food as the most healthiest. We hear coaches saying that jogging is good for health, where as the bodybuilding community will create issues saying long-distance running is not highly effective and will advocate that lifting weights is the best way to get in shape. You'll get millions of advice of the best workouts, how to plan your nutrition, adequate amounts of intake, the kind of food required for our metabolism, scheduling your workouts, measuring and maintaining fitness, what supplements you need to take and so on. Sure it's enough to give up.

Download or read book Distribia written by Ali Cheaib and published by Ali Cheaib. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humanity's primary defining feature is our ability to design systems, but at the same time, such hallmark is our downfall because our systems have the potential for enslaving and destroying the human race. A system is a good servant but an evil master. Not realizing the dangers that lurk within systems, we foolishly enslaved humanity under ghoulish concepts. In this book, we tell the story of a cruel and oppressive system called tribalism. A master-slave social order, which endorsed two classes in society; one endured by abusing and enslaving the other for thousands of years, until the inevitable rise of distribia. Travel with us on a journey in time to a world free of tribalism. To a society free of representation, delegation, intermediation, centralization, and zoning to discover the beautiful way of life of distribia’s fascinating peer-to-peer society.
Book Synopsis Latino American Cinema by : Scott L. Baugh
Download or read book Latino American Cinema written by Scott L. Baugh and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-04-13 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latino American cinema is a provocative, complex, and definitively American topic of study. This book examines key mainstream commercial films while also spotlighting often-underappreciated documentaries, avant-garde and experimental projects, independent productions, features and shorts, and more. Latino American Cinema: An Encyclopedia of Movies, Stars, Concepts, and Trends serves as an essential primary reference for students of the topic as well as an accessible resource for general readers. The alphabetized entries in the volume cover the key topics of this provocative and complex genre—films, filmmakers, star performers, concepts, and historical and burgeoning trends—alongside frequently overlooked and crucially ignored items of interest in Latino cinema. This comprehensive treatment bridges gaps between traditional approaches to U.S.-Latino and Latin American cinemas, placing subjects of Chicana and Chicano, Puerto Rican, Cuban and diasporic Cuban, and Mexican origin in perspective with related Central and South American and Caribbean elements. Many of the entries offer compact definitions, critical discussions, overviews, and analyses of star artists, media productions, and historical moments, while several foundational entries explicate concepts, making this single volume encyclopedia a critical guide as well.
