Book Synopsis Running Naked Through the Streets by : Caramine White
Download or read book Running Naked Through the Streets written by Caramine White and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2008-12-24 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Running Naked Through the Streets is an account of the year Dr. Caramine White lived in the former Communist country Slovakia, from August 2004 - May 2005. When Dr. White received a Fulbright Scholarship, she and an American literature professor from a Slovak university 'exchanged' jobs. Dr. White lived in Banska Bystrica, a city of about 84,000 in central Slovakia. Although her students spoke English, very few of the townspeople did, and the living conditions were much different from those enjoyed in America. Running Naked Through the Streets, which refers to the utter helplessness and vulnerability she often felt, is neither an autobiography nor a travel book. Although Dr. White does include some interesting information for tourists, the crux of the book is how being so alone and dependent can encourage and even accelerate personal growth. It is told with a great deal of humor and honesty. Interwoven throughout the text are humorous essays recounting some of her bizarre adventures during the year, which range from belly dancing to marathon running, from inadvertently taking part in a Polish Confirmation ceremony to becoming the object of affection for a mentally challenged homeless man.

Book excerpt: Run Naked in the Wind The Story of "Ol' Piccimuc" and the "Spook light"-an existing phenomenon which occurs nightly along a certain lonely stretch of the Missouri-Oklahoma border near the little town of Hornet, Missouri. Through the years, scientists, US Army engineers and countless other groups and individuals have tried to discover the source of the light, but still to this day, it's origin remains a mystery. There once lived such a man as "Ol' Piccimuc;" gentle, fine looking, clean of morals, holder of a law degree, is half Indian and slated for destruction by wealthy horse-breeder Joseph Coppedge. The reason? His spirited young daughter and her tragic love for young Piccimuc. OBerlin Thorton, a young writer seeking serenity in the hills of Missouri, happens upon Piccimuc, now an aging hermit, ridiculed, condemned and even hunted by the local citizenry, wins his trust and learns the secret of the mystery surrounding Ol' Piccimuc. 'Amplified by the echoing hills the moaning had grown louder. It sounded like a woman sobbing in a bereaved monotone, taking time out every little while to catch her breath he remembered the terrible moaning on the night he was lost, the night he had stumbled onto Piccimuc's cabin his flesh began to crawl '
Book Synopsis Among the Woo People by : Russell Frank
Download or read book Among the Woo People written by Russell Frank and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2017-10-08 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-nineties, Russell Frank left a peaceful life in rural California to raise three kids in a town saturated with fraternities, late-night undergrad fast food haunts, and rowdy football crowds. Among the Woo People recounts his two decades living—and surviving—in State College, Pennsylvania, the often-chaotic home of Penn State University. This humorous peek at life in a college town smack-dab in the middle of rural Pennsylvania chronicles a changing community over the course of two eventful decades. A professor of journalism, former columnist for the Centre Daily Times, and contributor to StateCollege.com, Frank has a unique perspective on living in the shadow of a university—especially on the tribe of nomadic young adults known as the “Woo people,” so named for their signature mode of celebratory communication. He invites readers into the routines of his hectic household as they embrace their new home, skewers the culture of intercollegiate sports, relates the challenges and peculiarities of teaching at one of the nation’s largest universities, and, most important, teaches us to be amused at college-kid antics and to appreciate their academic and real-world accomplishments, even as we anxiously tick off the days until semester’s end. From tales of missing porch furniture and red plastic cups in the bushes to a “Nude Year’s Eve” run by an octet of forty-somethings to the sweet relief of summer, Frank’s hilarious, insightful essays are indispensable for anyone who wants to survive, appreciate, and enjoy college-town life.
Book Synopsis News from Parched Mountain by : Roy Holland
Download or read book News from Parched Mountain written by Roy Holland and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-10-23 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these stories, which make an important contribution to the literary heritage of South Africa, we have a kind of marriage between P G du Plessis and Herman Charles Bosman. The style is eloquent, the picaresque characters unique and typical at the same time. The writer manages, within the limited space of a short story, to print a picture of his characters' physical attributes as well as their personality traits. There are a number of stories that tell why certain people are the way they are. The content and the style of writing give the stories a delightful South African flavour in the evocative use of appropriate figurative language and symbolism. There is a good balance between narration and dialogue. Settings, where necessary, are vividly described, especially the arid landscape, the farms and the vegetation. The stories are all the more interesting and topical for their pithy comment on the ills of modern society and the allusions to problems in the New South Africa. They make compelling reading, for the outcome of each is invariably unexpected. The author has written a quartette of stories, the other three titles of the quartette being Pivot of Violence: Tales of the New South Africa, Flakes of Dark and Light: Tales From Southern Africa and Elsewhere; and Just a Bit Touched: Tales of Perspective. All make a very vivid and lasting impression.

This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tallinn, 1419. What links the Keeper of the Tower, a prostitute and a Flemish painter to a haunted house on Rataskaevu Street? All three claim to have seen a ghost near the house, and each is found dead soon afterwards. Melchior Wakenstede, apothecary and assistant bailiff, is charged with unearthing the truth. With a cultivated sense for justice, Melchior investigates the deaths and attempts to find out whether, as the denizens of medieval Tallinn believe, ghosts can reap their revenge upon the living. When a powerful merchant dies, Melchior perceives a corporeal connection between this and the other deaths. As Melchior becomes embroiled in the conflicts and rivalries between religious orders, merchant guilds and Teutonic Knights, all vying with one another for control of the town, what he discovers is more incredible and more terrible than any ghost.

Book Synopsis The Experience of Revolution in Stuart Britain and Ireland by : Michael J. Braddick
Download or read book The Experience of Revolution in Stuart Britain and Ireland written by Michael J. Braddick and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-09 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume ranges widely across the social, religious and political history of revolution in seventeenth-century Britain and Ireland, from contemporary responses to the outbreak of war to the critique of the post-regicidal regimes; from royalist counsels to Lilburne's politics; and across the three Stuart kingdoms. However, all the essays engage with a central issue - the ways in which individuals experienced the crises of mid seventeenth-century Britain and Ireland and what that tells us about the nature of the Revolution as a whole. Responding in particular to three influential lines of interpretation - local, religious and British - the contributors, all leading specialists in the field, demonstrate that to comprehend the causes, trajectory and consequences of the Revolution we must understand it as a human and dynamic experience, as a process. This volume reveals how an understanding of these personal experiences can provide the basis on which to build up larger frameworks of interpretation.

Book Synopsis Savage Grace by : Steven M.L Aronson
Download or read book Savage Grace written by Steven M.L Aronson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A spellbinding tale of money and madness, incest and matricide, Savage Grace is the saga of Brooks and Barbara Baekeland -- beautiful, rich, worldly -- and their handsome, gentle son, Tony. Alternately neglected and smothered by his parents, he was finally driven to destroy the whole family in a violent chain of events. Savage Grace unfolds against a glamorous international background (New York, London, Paris, Italy, Spain); features a nonpareil cast of characters (including Salvador Dalí, James Jones, the Astors, the Vanderbilts, and European nobility); and tells the doomed Baekelands' story through remarkably candid interviews, private letters, and diaries, not to mention confidential hospital, State Department, and prison documents. A true-crime classic, it exposes the envied lives of the rich and beautiful, and brilliantly illuminates the darkest corners of the American Dream.
