Endlessly cold, they struggle to survive with poisonous rations, a dwindling coal supply, and ships buckling in the grip of crushing ice. But their real enemy is even more terrifying. There is something out there in the frigid darkness: an unseen predator stalking their ship, a monstrous terror clawing to get in. “The best and most unusual historical novel I have read in years.” —Katherine A.

Book excerpt: Thirty-five-year-old Lissy and her friends Tom, Joanne, Robbie, and Sarah along with Lissy's new love interest, Rigo, take a morning dive in a gorgeous-but dangerous-site two hours off the coast of Cozumel, Mexico. The dive captain warned them, and sure enough, tragedy strikes as they explore the spectacular reef. These six are separated from the other eight divers in their group and see the current carry them away to almost certain death. After an exhausting battle with the elements, the surviving divers drift onto a beautiful, seemingly uninhabited island. However, far from the safe haven they had hoped for, the island presents terrifying new challenges for Lissy and her friends. With daily battles for survival, the group must confront the overwhelmingly predatory inhabitants of their new home to cement their chances of rescue. They soon realize, though, that nature isn't the only force in play. Between the hyperaggressive monkeys ruling the island, giant reptiles, and dog-sized spiders, the friends recognize something else must be at work. But what? Their encounter with a band of sentient orangutans brightens their uncertain future, but can these kind and gentle primates give the friends the edge they need to survive being Stranded?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A group of researchers led by Dr. Emmanuel Hernandez gains a permit to visit the quarantined Ilha da Morte to prove either the truth or the fallacy of the whispered rumors of a giant lizard that lurks within the dark, unexplored jungles. One problem after another plagues their mission, starting with their boat sinking during the landing, followed immediately by the loss of their satellite phone and the death of a team member. The expedition, now cut off from the world, takes a more dangerous turn when hooting and roaring in the night reveals not only that the animal they seek is real, but that there's more than one. And they come closer each night. The creatures soon prove to be the least of the team's problems after encountering another group intent on keeping the island--and everything on it--secret from the rest of the world, even if they have to kill to accomplish it.

Book Synopsis Creating the Creole Island by : Megan Vaughan
Download or read book Creating the Creole Island written by Megan Vaughan and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2005-02-01 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The island of Mauritius lies in the middle of the Indian Ocean, about 550 miles east of Madagascar. Uninhabited until the arrival of colonists in the late sixteenth century, Mauritius was subsequently populated by many different peoples as successive waves of colonizers and slaves arrived at its shores. The French ruled the island from the early eighteenth century until the early nineteenth. Throughout the 1700s, ships brought men and women from France to build the colonial population and from Africa and India as slaves. In Creating the Creole Island, the distinguished historian Megan Vaughan traces the complex and contradictory social relations that developed on Mauritius under French colonial rule, paying particular attention to questions of subjectivity and agency. Combining archival research with an engaging literary style, Vaughan juxtaposes extensive analysis of court records with examinations of the logs of slave ships and of colonial correspondence and travel accounts. The result is a close reading of life on the island, power relations, colonialism, and the process of cultural creolization. Vaughan brings to light complexities of language, sexuality, and reproduction as well as the impact of the French Revolution. Illuminating a crucial period in the history of Mauritius, Creating the Creole Island is a major contribution to the historiography of slavery, colonialism, and creolization across the Indian Ocean.

Book Synopsis Tracking the Franklin Expedition of 1845 by : Stephen Zorn
Download or read book Tracking the Franklin Expedition of 1845 written by Stephen Zorn and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-08-29 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Franklin Northwest Passage Expedition of 1845 is perhaps the greatest disaster in the history of exploration--all 129 men vanished, as did the expedition's two ships, HMS Erebus and Terror. Over the next 150 years, searchers found bones, clothing and a variety of relics. Inuit narratives provided some of the details of what happened to the frozen, starving sailors after they deserted their ice-locked ships in 1848. Then, in 2014 and 2016, Canadian researchers found the sunken wrecks, not far from the bleak, windswept King William Island in the Arctic. At last, the mystery of the Franklin Expedition would be solved. Or would it? This book pulls together the various searchers' discoveries; the many recent scientific studies that shed light on when, how and why the men died (and whether, in extremis, they ate each other); and illuminates what we know, and what we don't and may never know, about the fate of the expedition.
Book Synopsis Black Humor and the White Terror by : Béla Bodó
Download or read book Black Humor and the White Terror written by Béla Bodó and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-06 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines political humor as a reaction to the lost war, the post-war chaos, and antisemitic violence in Hungary between 1918 and 1922. While there is an increased body of literature on Jewish humor as a form of resistance and a means of resilience during the Holocaust, only a handful of studies have addressed Jewish humor as a reaction to physical attacks and increased discrimination in Europe during and after the First World War. The majority of studies have approached the issue of Jewish humor from an anthropological, cultural, or linguistic perspective; they have been interested in the humor of lower- or lower-middle-class Jews in the East European shtetles before 1914. On the other hand, this study follows a historical and political approach to the same topic and focuses on the reaction of urban, middle-class, and culturally assimilated Jews to recent events: to the disintegration of the Dual Monarchy, the collapse of law and order, increased violence, the reversal of Jewish emancipation and the rise of new and more pernicious antisemitic prejudices. The study sees humor not only as a form of entertainment and jokes as literature and a product of popular culture, but also as a heuristic device to understand the world and make sense of recent changes, as well as a means to defend one’s social position, individual and group identity, strike back at the enemy, and last but not least, to gain the support and change the hearts and minds of non-Jews and neutral bystanders. Unlike previous scholarly works on Jewish resistance during the Holocaust, this study sees Budapest Jewish humor after WWI as a joint adventure: as a product of urban and Hungarian culture, in which Jewish not only played an important role but also cofounded. Finally, the book addressed the issue of continuity in Hungarian history, the "twisted road to Auschwitz": whether urban Jewish humor, as a form of escapism, helped to desensitize the future victims of the Holocaust to the approaching danger, or it continued to play the same defensive and positive role in the interwar period, as it had done in the immediate aftermath of the Great War.
