In the evenings, her father regales her with old folktales of the Jade Dragon and the Old Man on the Moon, who knows the answers to all of life's questions.

Book excerpt: According to TV's Top Gear, the Black Mountain road (the A4069) between Brynaman and Gwynfe in Wales' Brecon Beacons National Park is, 'Five of the most memorable miles you can drive in any country.' In 2019 this road, with its hairpin bends, dips, twists, climbs and amazing views of the surrounding countryside, celebrates its 200th anniversary. When Men and Mountain Meet tells the story of the construction of the Black Mountain road, giving background information on those responsible for it, the enterprising father and son who shared the same name, John Jones Brynbrain, and the industrialisation and cultural development of Brynaman to the south that came about, in part, due to the road being built. Includes 16-page section of photographs.

Download or read book When Men & Mountains Meet written by H.W. Tilman and published by Vertebrate Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-28 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'We had climbed a mountain and crossed a pass; been wet, cold, hungry, frightened, and withal happy. One more Himalayan season was over. It was time to begin thinking of the next. "Strenuousness is the immortal path, sloth is the way of death."' First published in 1946, the scope of H.W. 'Bill' Tilman's When Men and Mountains Meet is broad, covering his disastrous expedition to the Assam Himalaya, a small exploratory trip into Sikkim, and then his wartime heroics. In the thirties, Assam was largely unknown and unexplored. It proved a challenging environment for Tilman's party, the jungle leaving the men mosquito-bitten and suffering with tropical diseases, and thwarting their mountaineering success. Sikkim proved altogether more successful. Tilman, who is once again happy and healthy, enjoys some exploratory ice climbing and discovers Abominable Snowman tracks, particularly remarkable as the creature appeared to be wearing boots—' there is no reason why he should not have picked up a discarded pair at the German Base Camp and put them to their obvious use'. And then, in 1939, war breaks out. With good humour and characteristic understatement we hear about Tilman's remarkable Second World War. After digging gun pits on the Belgian border and in Iraq, he was dropped by parachute behind enemy lines to fight alongside Albanian and Italian partisans. Tilman was awarded the Distinguished Service Order for his efforts—and the keys to the city of Belluno, which he helped save from occupation and destruction. Tilman's comments on the German approach to Himalayan climbing could equally be applied to his guerrilla warfare ethos. 'They spent a lot of time and money and lost a lot of climbers and porters, through bad luck and more often through bad judgement.' While elsewhere the war machine rumbled on, Tilman's war was fast, exciting, lightweight and foolhardy—and makes for gripping reading.

Download or read book Go Tell It on the Mountain written by James Baldwin and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2013-09-12 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In one of the greatest American classics, Baldwin chronicles a fourteen-year-old boy's discovery of the terms of his identity. Baldwin's rendering of his protagonist's spiritual, sexual, and moral struggle of self-invention opened new possibilities in the American language and in the way Americans understand themselves. With lyrical precision, psychological directness, resonating symbolic power, and a rage that is at once unrelenting and compassionate, Baldwin tells the story of the stepson of the minister of a storefront Pentecostal church in Harlem one Saturday in March of 1935. Originally published in 1953, Baldwin said of his first novel, "Mountain is the book I had to write if I was ever going to write anything else." “With vivid imagery, with lavish attention to details ... [a] feverish story.” —The New York Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At just sixteen, Alethea is not your average teenager. Fiercely protective of her Pacific island, she leads a band of students in a David vs. Goliath struggle against a foreign power encroaching on their land and legacy. Their weapon of choice? Guerrilla tactics and relentless harassment, aimed at thwarting the takeover of an ancient gold mine. Suspense mounts as Alethea grows wary of a stranger surveying their beaches, sparking a daring confrontation with a ship and a submersible on a covert mission. Amidst the chaos, Alethea's heartstrings tangle with Ty's, just before she's abruptly captured and forced to labor on a vessel scoping out military sites across the islands. But Alethea's spirit remains unbroken, her creativity undimmed, her poetry and stories a testament to her resilience. The pressing questions linger: Will Alethea's and her comrades' bold actions make a mark against the invaders? And what fate awaits the mysterious spy who crossed paths with Alethea on the sands of her homeland?
