Book Synopsis Owen Marshall Selected Stories by : Vincent O'Sullivan
Download or read book Owen Marshall Selected Stories written by Vincent O'Sullivan and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 661 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A generous selection from New Zealand's foremost writer of short stories. Peter Simpson in reviewing Owen Marshall's stories in the New Zealand Listener wrote: 'Marshall is held in uncommon affection by New Zealand readers - generally we admire and respect rather than love our writers.' This love is perhaps evoked not just by the superb quality of Marshall's writing but because his stories so precisely capture his fellow New Zealanders and their country. From the provinces to the cities, the remote landscapes to journeying overseas, Marshall's stories show a deep understanding of who and where we are. Sometimes he skewers the locals with sharp and sly comedy, in other stories there's an elegiac sadness or a grim reality, but always an insightful exploration of human emotions. From the substantial body of work created over the last thirty years, critic, writer and academic Vincent O'Sullivan has selected sixty stories that give a wide representation of Marshall's range. He once wrote that short stories should aspire to a combination of 'intransigence and poetry', both of which are evident in this fine selection. 'Marshall is a writer who speaks with equal intensity to the unbearable loveliness and malevolence of life.' - Carolyn Bliss, World Literature Today

Book excerpt: Organized crime and the mob figures who run it have long captured the imagination of the American public, appearing since the early twentieth century as characters in a host of popular books, movies, and television programs.

Each biography describes the early years of each man, assessing how he came to a criminal career; his rise to prominence within the mob, providing reaction from those who knew him and witnessed his actions; and the last years of his career, assessing why it ended as it did. Each biography is illustrated with a picture of its subject and concludes with a listing of additional information resources, both print and electronic. A detailed subject index provides further access to the large amount of information contained in each biography. A timeline allows readers to quickly and easily track the birth, death, and important events in the life of each mobster.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when an ordinary man becomes a messiah? A witty, prescient and eloquent satire by one of New Zealand’s finest writers. Far into the twenty-first century, Albous Slaven's life is spectacularly and irrevocably altered after he hangs for an instant from a power line. While recuperating, he senses a new-found gift; the gift of oratory. Driven to hold rallies throughout New Zealand, Slaven astounds and alarms the ruling politicians. He too is astounded and often bemused by the response of the tens of thousands who flock to hear him. But what is his message? Is he a Messiah, a political saviour, or an idealist who conjures up forces he can neither understand nor control? Shortlisted for the Montana Book Award for Fiction and described by Vincent O'Sullivan as `Delightfully sardonic; philosophically mischievous', this novel deftly and disconcertingly explores its characters' lives in this lyrical picture of New Zealand.

Download or read book Dr. Angela Longo’s Quantum Wave Guided Living written by Dr. Angela Longo and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our lives are supposed to be resplendent, radiant, meaningful, and glorious. Instead what most of us experience is a life filled with struggles, conflict and illness. Relationshifting creates a bridge to a quantum wave guided living based upon Dr. Angela Longo’s 50 years of TCM clinical experience. Dr. Longo offers an overview of the “eight bottom lines” which are the eight major ways in which we block the ability to live aware of quantum replendence. She explains how to shift that energy to resplendent living by relationshifting with many new tools of quantum wave living. The relationshifting mirror-call (miracle) includes explanations and exercises using the following tools: • Bathwaving is an easy to use technique for recognizing and shifting old, unproductive patterns to our desired ones. • BATHWAVE is an acronym for (Beliefs, Actions, Thoughts, Habits, Words, Attitudes, Values, Emotions) Helps us recognize forms of patterns. • Love letters are messages we are sending ourselves to guide us to living resplendently as symptoms, relationship patterns, dreams, daily events and creations. • Triunity shows that we are actually three beings in one nest– promoting understanding of our quantum existence. • Eternalbeing pattern helps us focus on who we really are. • Muscle testing helps us access our ‘googleverse’, perceptions and patterns. • Shifting the eight bottom lines and our five element BATHWAVEs transforming our glow to living resplendently. Relationshifting demonstrates the fact that when you are living in the resplendent way, living is EEEZY– An Eternal, Emergent, Entanglement as a Zestful You.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Towns and communities such as Springerville, Eagar, Alpine, Nutrioso, Vernon, Greer, McNary, and Maverick of Apache County's White Mountains hold fascinating histories of outlaws and Arizona Rangers; Texas cattlemen and Mormon farmers; and New Mexico Hispanics and forest service men. Aldo Leopold was one of the forest service men who, in A Sand County Almanac, described the Boneyard, Campbell Blue, and Frijole Cienega. Of Paradise Valley, he wrote, "What else could you call it?" In 1913, the Good Roads Association described the roads winding through the area with "canyons that are flanked on every side by timber-covered, snow-clad peaks." It also noted that the area had become "an interesting point for the genuine home seeker, who will not likely want to continue his journey farther." That description remains true today.

Download or read book American Mafia written by Thomas Reppetto and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Reppetto's book earns its place among the best . . . he brings fresh context to a familiar story worth retelling." —The New York Times Book Review Organized crime—the Italian American kind—has long been a source of popular entertainment and legend. Now Thomas Reppetto provides a balanced history of the Mafia's rise—from the 1880s to the post-WWII era—that is as exciting and readable as it is authoritative. Structuring his narrative around a series of case histories featuring such infamous characters as Lucky Luciano and Al Capone, Reppetto draws on a lifetime of field experience and access to unseen documents to show us a locally grown Mafia. It wasn't until the 1920s, thanks to Prohibition, that the Mafia assumed what we now consider its defining characteristics, especially its octopuslike tendency to infiltrate industry and government. At mid-century the Kefauver Commission declared the Mafia synonymous with Union Siciliana; in the 1960s the FBI finally admitted the Mafia's existence under the name La Cosa Nostra. American Mafia is a fascinating look at America's most compelling criminal subculture from an author who is intimately acquainted with both sides of the street.
