Book Synopsis The Impermanence of Lilies by : Daniel Yeo
Download or read book The Impermanence of Lilies written by Daniel Yeo and published by Ethos Books. This book was released on 2023-07-17 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The captain of the Titanic went down with his ship on 15 April, 1912. But thoughts have power, and those who endure in the stories of the living are said to continue to roam the world after their deaths. And so the captain wanders in search of the things he tried to find in life, and discovers his destiny intimately entwined with a painter who shares the same fate, not knowing that their paths had crossed a long time ago. The Impermanence of Lilies is a melancholic tribute to the nature of life and a yearning for love, in a story that reaches across lifetimes, borders, and the space between two hearts. "A poetic, poignant love letter to life. Daniel Yeo has important things to tell us about the painful beauty of impermanence, and he tells them with a tender lyricism." -Melissa de Villiers, author of The Chameleon House “A wistful travel narrative by the RMS Titanic Captain that dives into preternatural waters, flowing into surprising and surrealist tributaries of reflections on death, memory, identity, friendship, and unwaveringly, love.” -Cyril Wong, poet and fictionist
Book Synopsis How the Just So Stories Were Made by : John Batchelor
Download or read book How the Just So Stories Were Made written by John Batchelor and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating, richly illustrated exploration of the poignant origins of Rudyard Kipling's world-famous children's classic From "How the Leopard Got Its Spots" to "The Elephant's Child," Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories have delighted readers across the world for more than a century. In this original study, John Batchelor explores the artistry with which Kipling created the Just So Stories, using each tale as an entry point into the writer's life and work--including the tragedy that shadows much of the volume, the death of his daughter Josephine. Batchelor details the playful challenges the stories made to contemporary society. In his stories Kipling played with biblical and other stories of creation and imagined fantastical tales of animals' development and man's discovery of literacy. Richly illustrated with original drawings and family photographs, this account reveals Kipling's public and private lives--and sheds new light on a much-loved and tremendously influential classic.
Book Synopsis The Boy Who Preferred To Be Somebody Else by : Malcolm Moyes
Download or read book The Boy Who Preferred To Be Somebody Else written by Malcolm Moyes and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2016-01-07 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was clear from a very early age that Arry Trumper was not happy being Arry Trumper: he preferred to be somebody else, anybody else, other than Arry Trumper. Compelled to participate in a world of unpleasant parents, lunatic teachers and brutal Ofsted inspections, he judges the lot to be inadequate and in need of improvement. Improvement for Arry means the reinvention of the world in his own image: a world in which nothing is regular; a world in which inanity, cruelty and pretentiousness find the oblivion which has for far too long eluded it. The Boy Who Preferred to be Somebody Else is a book to amuse all wannabe subversives aged 13-16, as Arry becomes who he wants to become in his surreal fight against the authority of those who wish he had never existed... Southport has never looked so strange! What the characters said about the book: “That boy is poison!” – Arry’s mother “The child is clearly in urgent need of psychiatric help.” – Arry’s Headmaster “I quite like him.” – Jeffrey “My blue trousers have never looked smarter.” – Biffa the Bear “Mine too.” – Ofsted Inspector

Book Synopsis Merseyside War Years Then & Now by : Daniel K Longman
Download or read book Merseyside War Years Then & Now written by Daniel K Longman and published by Pitkin. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its strategic shipping ports and factories, the towns and cities dotted along the River Mersey soon became some of Hitler’s most heavily targeted sites during the Second World War. In August 1940 the German Luftwaffe attacked Birkenhead in what was to be the first of over 300 such bombing raids Merseyside sustained that year. Almost 4,000 people perished and many more were seriously injured as the streets and buildings of Liverpool and Wirral were destroyed and their residents left in turmoil. Featuring 45 vistas of bomb-damaged suburbia and city centre carnage alongside 45 photographs of the area as it is today, Merseyside War Years: Then & Now sensitively documents the changes and developments that have taken place in Merseyside since those dark days of war, demonstrating both architectural progress and Britain’s resilience and in the face of adversity.
