Book excerpt: King, warrior, and lover Brian Boru was stronger, braver, and wiser than all other men-the greatest king Ireland has ever known. Out of the mists of the country's most violent age, he merged to lead his people to the peak of their golden era. His women were as remarkable as his adventures: Fiona, the druidess with mystical powers; Deirdre, beautiful victim of a Norse invader's brutal lust; Gormlaith, six-foot, read-haired goddess of sensuality. Set against the barbaric splendors of the tenth century, Lion of Ireland is a story rich in truth and legend-in which friends become deadly enemies, bedrooms turn into battlefields, and dreams of glory are finally fulfilled. Morgan Llywelyn has written one of the greatest novels of Irish history. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Download or read book Behind The Lions written by Stephen Jones and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2021-03-04 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over 130 years the British & Irish Lions have stood out as a symbol of the ethics, values and romance at the heart of rugby union. To represent the Lions is the pinnacle for every international player in Britain and Ireland, and the dream of tens of thousands of avid fans who fol-low them. A Lions tour, undertaken every four years to the southern hemisphere, is more than a series of rugby matches played out on foreign fields; it is an epic crusade where the chosen few face a succession of mental and physical chal-lenges on their way to the Test arena, where they do battle with the superpowers of the world game. Behind the Lions sees seven esteemed rugby writers delve to the very heart of what it means to be a Lion, using diaries and letters from those who pioneered the concept, to interviews with a vast array of players who have followed in their footsteps. In so doing they have uncovered the passion, pride and honour experienced when taking up the unique challenge of a Lions tour. This is a tale of heart-break and ecstasy, humour and poignancy that is at once inspirational, moving and utterly compelling. And it is the only story worth hearing: the players' own.

Download or read book The Seven Lives of Colonel Patterson written by Denis Brian and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2008-06-26 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first-ever biography of Colonel John Patterson, Denis Brian reveals his subject to be a diverse composite of identities. An Irishborn soldier, lion hunter, bridge builder, East African game warden, author, and Zionist, Patterson’s life is a fascinating story, and Brian’s well-researched account gives a revealing look into the ebb and flow of circumstances that produced such a colorful character. Brian begins the narrative with Patterson’s assignment in East Africa,where lion attacks are terrorizing workers on a railroad project. With a storyteller’s breathtaking tone, he details accounts of Patterson quelling the rebellion and killing the lions himself. The colonel’s indomitable energy and courage become a consistent theme in the book as the author traces Patterson’s life from his days as a British socialite to his recruitment of the Jewish Legion of volunteers who helped drive the Turks out of Palestine. Patterson spent most of his later years as an ardent Zionist,working for the creation of a Jewish homeland until his death in 1947, a year before the birth of the state of Israel. Drawing on an impressive range of sources, Brian’s biography of this “Righteous Gentile” is an incisive portrait of a key figure in both Israeli and colonial British history.

Download or read book Pride of Lions written by Morgan Llywelyn and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 1997-03-15 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lion of Ireland was the breathtaking chronicle of Brian Boru, the Great King who led the bickering chiefs of Ireland to unity under his reign. He overthrew traditions, reformed society, and became the Irish Charlemagne. The Ireland of 1014 was a dream Brian Boru had dreamed and brought into being. Now, with all the fire and brilliance for which her writing is known, Morgan Llywelyn takes us there, to the battlefield where Brian died, and to Brian's fifteen-year-old son, Donough, whose mother is the voluptuous and treacherous Gormlaith, with her lust for life and power undiminished by age: Donough, the son who is determined to make the High Kingship of Brian Boru's Ireland his own. "I know he's too young, but he's all we have left," says Fergal, and thus the boy takes his first command, on the bloody ground of Clontarf. From there he must move to establish his right to rule in Kincora and to make the kings of Ireland accept him as their High King. Yet Donough is torn--torn by his hatred for his mother and by his all-consuming passion for the beautiful pagan girl Cera, who remains beyond his reach, for the High King must have a Christian consort....

Download or read book The Great European Union Referendum Debate written by Francis S E Codjoe Jnr. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the authors contribution to the debate on Britains future relationship with the European Union. Unusual circumstances led him to spend over ten years researching the significance of European integration. He discovered that a British Secret Service Agent, who investigated Jackthe-Ripper crimes, wrote about a political alliance of European nations (how it would develop, its character and future) even before the French Founding Fathers of the European Project, Jean Monnet and Robert Schuman, were born in 1888 and 1886 respectively. According to the Intelligence Officer, a Confederation of European Nations would develop through a great European crisis. And this European Confederacy would become the next major political feature in history after the restoration of the Jews to Palestine. He made this forecast before Theodor Herzl, the Father of Zionism, formed the Zionist movement in 1896. The state of Israel for the Jews was created in Palestine in May 1948. Two years later, in May 1950, the European Union was born in Paris with The Schuman Plan. These events occurred exactly as the Intelligence Officer had predicted. The author shares with the reader the important advice Schuman and Chancellor Adenauer offered to Europeans concerning the survival of the European Project. The writer responds to David Camerons Bloomberg speech. He offers a critique of his vision for Britain and Europe. He explains whether an independent Scotland should seek EU membership or not. The writer also reveals his communication with an Archbishop concerning the Church of Englands support of Britains membership of the European Union. This volume explains the significance of the national emblem of Great Britain (The Royal Coat of Arms) and what Britishness implies. British values and identity are concealed in Britains heraldrythe symbol of the Sovereignty of the British people.
