Book excerpt: A Lakota boy comes of age and finds his courage in Gift Horse, a picture book from award-winning author and illustrator S. D. Nelson. When Flying Cloud’s father gives him a Gift Horse, marking the beginning of his journey to manhood, Flying Cloud names the horse Storm. The two become inseparable: They spend their days riding across the prairie, hunting deer, and roughhousing with the other boys and their horses. But as Flying Cloud becomes a man, his life takes a serious turn: He must now learn the ways of his people and what it means to be a Lakota warrior. So when enemies of the Lakota steal many of the tribe’s horses—including Storm—Flying Cloud must join the rescue party. Will he prove he has the courage to become a true warrior? The bold, full-color illustrations bring to life this exciting coming-of-age tale from S. D. Nelson, award-winning creator and member of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, and provide a unique look into the lives of the Lakota during the 19th century. Backmatter includes a brief summary of the Lakota history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of novelettes, short stories, and poems by the author of 'Muted' and the 'Outback Riders' series. Skilfully crafted stories that capture the magic, the wonder, and the heartbreak of rural Australia and the outback. Many of the stories highlight the resilience of the girls and women who live in the outback. Moving and memorable tales that will stay with you long after the book is finished. 'Flame the Fire Horse' is the story of a legendary horse of the outback, as well as the stockman who knew him. Follow the remarkable life of the chestnut stallion and the quiet man who loved him, right up to their final heart-breaking encounter. (This story was serialised in the Australian equine magazine, 'Rider'.) 'The Moon Horses of Malaron' is the tale of Taylor, a teenage girl who is forced to move from the city to a cattle station in the outback of Queensland. The Moon Horses are a mystery that the children of the outback station, Malaron, have learned to accept, but Taylor wants to know what they are...sometimes, mysteries are best left unsolved. 'My Baloo' is the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of competing at international level on her rescue horse. Mollie knows that, first, you dream, then you plan, and then you work harder than anyone else, and, finally, if luck is on your side, you achieve. Follow Mollie from the age of twelve, all the way to the Olympics. 'The Blood Horse' is the heartbreaking story of what happens to a family and a horse when tragedy strikes in the form of a riding accident. 'Blood in the Dust' covers a typical day in the outback life of a woman on a station, with a shocking twist at the end. 'The Governess: Letters Home from the Station' covers the life of a young woman who goes west to governess, and settles in the outback, finding a resilience within herself that is needed to survive all that the land throws at her, from droughts all the way to the devastating outback floods of 2019. There are also some true stories to make you laugh and wonder at the magic of horses, including a hilarious tale about Dusty, a pony who teaches a bully a lesson he'll never forget. There's the tragic story of Barney and His Mate, horses who deserved better. Jingo - The Smartest Pony Ever is a tribute to one of the great ponies of the outback. The Greatest Horse Race is an inspiring insight into the heart of an outback racehorse. There is a small collection of poems at the end of the book. The poem, 'Where Do the Riders Go?' has been read aloud at the services for horse people all over the world, and 'A Billion Atoms' has been inspiring readers since it was first written in 2018. 'Flame the Fire Horse and Other Horse Stories' is written by Leanne Owens, English teacher, equine journalist and writer for Horse Talk TV. Leanne is the author of the popular Outback Riders series (Horses Of The Sun, Horses Of The Light, and Horses Of The Fire). Leanne's latest release, 'Muted' is about an Australian horseman who decides he has to find a way to free 1,200 stallions held by a U.S. pharmaceutical company, while the heir to the company is determined to stop him - this inspiring tale of transformation, resilience, friendship, and love is a can't-put-it-down read that will hold your interest for all of its 400+ pages. The paperback version of Flame makes a wonderful gift for people who like horses and an excellent trophy for horse clubs.

Download or read book The Trojan Horse and Other Stories written by Julia Kindt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes us human? What, if anything, sets us apart from all other creatures? Ever since Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, the answer to these questions has pointed to our own intrinsic animal nature. Yet the idea that, in one way or another, our humanity is entangled with the non-human has a much longer and more venerable history. In the West, it goes all the way back to classical antiquity. This grippingly written and provocative book boldly reveals how the ancient world mobilised concepts of 'the animal' and 'animality' to conceive of the human in a variety of illuminating ways. Through ten stories about marvelous mythical beings – from the Trojan Horse to the Cyclops, and from Androcles' lion to the Minotaur – Julia Kindt unlocks fresh ways of thinking about humanity that extend from antiquity to the present and that ultimately challenge our understanding of who we really are.

Download or read book Stories by Contemporary Irish Women written by Daniel J. Casey and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1990-04-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These short stories invite the reader to see Ireland afresh. Included are works by well-known authors such as Mary Lavin, Edna O'Brien, and Julia O'Faolain; the collection also showcases new writers such as Clare Boylan, Rita Kelly, and Una Woods. Repeatedly, the stories bring us up against the inherent contradiction of provincial Ireland and Ireland as a modern European state, and the complexities of women's lives in both. Helen Lucy Burke writes tellingly of an older, devout Irish Catholic woman as she encounters the startling realities of Italian Catholic Rome. Other stories also dwell on traditional Irish themes and situations through refreshingly varied voices. Ita Daly movingly portrays the problems of an educated, sensitive schoolteacher, resigned to her life in a country town. Anne Devlin handles yet another familiar theme: the Irelander in England, an England edgy about IRA bombings. A few stories deal with the "troubles" in Northern Ireland, while others address the troubles of the country as a whole: too many children, too much hypocrisy, too little communication, especially between women and men. The editors have provided an introduction that examines the role of women writers in Irish literature. T-hey have also supplied detailed biographical notes for each contributing author.
