Book excerpt: In grey, 1930s England, Bea has grown up kicking against the conventions of the time, all the while knowing that she will one day have to marry someone her parents choose - someone rich enough to keep the family estate alive. But she longs for so much more - for adventure, excitement, travel, and maybe even romance. When she gets the chance to spend the summer in Italy with her bohemian uncle and his fianc_e, a whole world is opened up to Bea - a world that includes Ben, a cocky young artist who just happens to be infuriatingly handsome too. Sparks fly between the quick-witted pair until one night, under the stars, a challenge is set: can Bea and Ben put aside their teasing and have the perfect summer romance? With their new friends gleefully setting the rules for their fling, Bea and Ben can agree on one thing at least: they absolutely, positively will not, cannot fall in love... A long, hot summer of kisses and mischief unfolds - but storm clouds are gathering across Europe, and home is calling. Every summer has to end - but for Bea, this might be just the beginning.

Download or read book Aussie Yarns written by John McAulay and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-08-04 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aussie Yarns: some serious, some funny, and some philosophical. Most are about down-to-earth country folk. Some, like ‘Rusty’ and ‘A Farmer’s Wife’ have a lesson in them. Others are even a bit romantic, for example, ‘Blind Love’ and ‘Best Friends’. In a number of cases, the story is inspired by a poem already written, and in other cases, one is written specially, but in any case, all are accompanied by a poem or two and an explanation as to how it all came about. Primarily these yarns were written with an Australian readership in mind, most of whom would understand and appreciate the slang words and phrases used, particularly by unsophisticated bushies. However, I imagine some of the terms may leave non-Australians a bit perplexed. Stick with it, and by the time you’ve read Witness for the Defence you will have probably worked out what a “sheila’ is, along with all the other words and expressions that are uniquely Australian country in origin. Enjoy the adventures of the 110 characters who play some role in these yarns.

Book Synopsis Tomorrow's Sights and Sounds by : Albert F. Schmid
Download or read book Tomorrow's Sights and Sounds written by Albert F. Schmid and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-10-02 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Body language, music, visual displays, and even different sounds are methods of communication, but words still remain the primary method for transfer of thought. Perhaps someday in the future, humans will be able to exchange information from the brain to another person directly. But for now, we are generally limited to our language and the fragile and imprecise medium of words. The basic problem with words is that they mean different things to different people. In his teaching, Jesus used a method of using words to convey a lesson, called a parable, an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. Trying to understand or to define words is often no easy task and occasionally requires a unique methodology to accomplish the purpose. Tomorrows Sights and Sounds attempts to demonstrate an effective use of words by definition, poetry, devotionals, lessons, and a review of holidays and their religious connection. God has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly, and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6:8)

Download or read book A Mingled Yarn written by Russell Fraser and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: R. P. Blackmur was an American critic and poet, as well as a professor of English literature and creative writing at Princeton University. At the time of his death, he had completed five books and numerous plays, poems, and short stories. He devoted most of his life to studies on Henry Adams - someone he saw in himself. In his lifetime, he received a share of adulation, but he was not successful in the way that success is commonly measured. In this work, Russell Fraser follows the course of Blackmur's self-declared failed genius. He tells the story of his precocious youth in Cambridge; his eclectic education; his years of poverty and renown as a poet, novelist, freelance music critic, and essayist; his obsessive marriage to artist Helen Dickson; his entangled friendships with T. S. Eliot, Delmore Schwartz, Allen Tate, and John Berryman; and, his passion for the wilds of Maine. He discusses Blackmur's crucial role in the literary magazines of the twenties and thirties; his unique influence as instructor of creative writing; the emotional and professional price he paid for a doubtful security at Princeton University; and, the torment of wavering between intellectual inertia and prolific inspiration. With empathy and insight, Fraser shows how the trajectory of Blackmur's career parallels the movements in the American literary scene; the experiments in poetry and fiction; the development of the New Criticism; the writer's conflict between order and anarchy, taxonomy and the full response; and, the emergence of the critic as artist. A biography, intellectual history, and literary criticism, "A Mingled Yarn" unravels Blackmur's complex character and celebrates his great achievement.
