He has to flee from the city and to go into hiding. He rents an old house located on the bank of a big Russian river, and lives there like a recluse observing nature and working on his new book about Wagner. The house, a part of an old barge, undergoes strange metamorphoses rebuilding itself as a medieval schooner, and Alpheyev begins to identify himself with the Flying Dutchman.

A chain of strange events in the nearby village makes the police officer contact the KGB, and the latter figure out who the new tenant of the old house actually is.

Download or read book Community and Change in the North Carolina Mountains written by and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2006-05-02 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oral history and memoirs preserve much more than a single event. They record information about a time and a particular way of life. Buying a loaf of bread for a dime and a 25-pound bag of flour for a dollar, walking 9 1⁄2 miles in 5 hours, watching the Cove Creek gym (and several school buses) go up in flames--these are just a few of the tales related in this collection of oral and written histories. From boating to finding a first job, from riding a pony to school to joining the Navy, this book contains dozens of memories gathered from the residents of western Watauga County, North Carolina. Concentrating primarily on the decades of the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, these stories focus on the elements of everyday life in a mountain community. They deal with both traditional rural activities--such as berry picking, soap making, trading and bartering--and universal experiences such as school days and dating. The book includes a special section on the war experiences of Watauga County residents both at home and overseas. Contemporary photographs and an index are included.

Book excerpt: A great many things come into focus from the deck of an oceangoing yacht, since oceans are not restricted by earthly cares and regulations. Maybe that is why he experiences the wonders of this world so intensely. ‘It all starts with a dream. It begins with one deep dream that most of us have at least once in our lives. And yet most of us never pursue our dreams, as these illusions are not real. We must keep our feet firmly on the ground – this is what our relatives, teachers and so-called common sense and the and the world tell us all the time. They even convince us with a pair of hobnailed soldiers’ shoes. And so instead of illusory dreams, we choose achievable goals as they are more ‘realistic’. And they are so real that we wake up one day and our dreams are long gone. Only sometimes we recall that we used to dream. And then we wonder for a moment if it is not too late to make out deep dream come true.’ The answer to this question is much easier after reading this book.

Book Synopsis Soviet Cold War Weaponry: Aircraft, Warships, Missiles and Artillery by : Anthony Tucker-Jones
Download or read book Soviet Cold War Weaponry: Aircraft, Warships, Missiles and Artillery written by Anthony Tucker-Jones and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2015-10-30 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this companion volume to his photographic history of Soviet tanks and armoured vehicles, Anthony Tucker-Jones provides a visual guide to the vast array of aircraft, warships and missiles the Soviet armed forces deployed at the height of the Cold War. Although the superpowers never came to blows, the so-called 'Cold War' was far from cold, with numerous 'hot' proxy wars being fought in Africa and the Middle East. All these conflicts employed Soviet weaponry which has been captured in action in the colour and black-and-white photographs selected for this book. Between the 1950s and 1980s Soviet and Warsaw Pact countries churned out thousands of weapons ready for the Third World War. They also embarked on a technological arms race with NATO in an attempt to counter each new piece of equipment as it appeared. The MiG fighters, the Badger and Backfire bombers, the nuclear submarines have achieved almost iconic status, but, as Anthony Tucker-Jones's book shows, there was much more to the Soviet armoury than these famous weapons. Much of it, despite its age, remains in service with armies, guerrilla forces and terrorist organizations around the world today."

Book excerpt: 'YOU KEEP OUT OF HARM'S WAY, SOPHIE FARTHING' Her father's advice seemed only sensible. The flying island of High Haven was a dangerous place. So what was she doing down on the docks at midnight, talking to the sinister gentleman with the iron jaw? Where had he come from on his majestic space yacht? And why did he laugh when she spoke of her poor dead mama? Sophie only wanted to talk to him again. She didn't really mean to stow away - certainly not on the wrong ship. Her unintended quest is to take Sophie far from home, to the pleasure gardens of the Moon, the grogshops and grime of Lambeth Walk, through the perilous Asteroid Sea and the cruel canyons of Mars where Angels fill the red sky with their ravenous cries.
