Book excerpt: "I've been here before," says Riley Chance. "I mean way before. I never knew it until a few years ago—when I was fifteen. I had no idea until that time. We lived in Chicago, and I just believed I was like everyone else—except I did worry about things my mother thought were rather odd. "But that's not the beginning. I have to start at the beginning. "The first time I was here I lived in Pennsylvania with a man named Benjamin Ezra and his wife. I have never been able to remember her name, so I just made one up after a while. You can probably tell what I remember of her by the name I gave her: I call her Ogra." Thus begins Riley Chance's extraordinary tale of the fortunes and misfortunes of his three lives: first as Kenny Ezra, the son of a factory worker at the Demon Match Company in Wilkes-Barre at the turn of the century; then as Jack Pitt, a boy growing up with his much loved mother in Washington, D.C., during the Depression; and finally as Riley Chance, a "strange child" born in 1954 who, after a startling sequence of events when he is in his teens, can never again see himself simply as Gus and Myra Chance's son. Sometimes harrowing, sometimes funny, often luminously beautiful, and always profoundly imaginative and moving, The Lives of Riley Chance is the dazzlingly original work by the author whose first novel, On the Way Home, established him as an important and powerful voice in American fiction.

Too bad the unresolved passion is complicating matters. Worse, the problems that pulled them apart are back, too! Sure, he seems to be handling their relationship differently.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliantly observed prep school novel about fraught teacher-student relationships--and about coming into adulthood. Ben Jameson begins his teaching career in a small private school in Northern Virginia. He is idealistic, happy to have his first job after graduate school, and hoping some day to figure out what he really wants out of life. And in his two years teaching English at Glenn Acres Preparatory School, he comes to believe this really is his life's work, his calling. He wants to change lives. But his desire to "save" his students leads him into complicated territory, as he becomes more and more deeply involved with three students in particular: an abused boy, a mute and damaged girl, and a dangerous eighteen-year-old who has come back to school for one more chance to graduate. In the Fall They Come Back is a book about human relationships, as played out in that most fraught of settings, a school. But it is not only a book about teaching. It is about the limits and complexities of even our most benevolent urges--what we can give to others and how we lose ourselves.

Book Synopsis Not the Life of Riley by : Michael Riley
Download or read book Not the Life of Riley written by Michael Riley and published by The Endless Bookcase Ltd. This book was released on 2024-02-09 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problems in prisons, corruption in the public sector, assaults, escape, gangs, drugs and much more. Uncover some of what can happen behind the scenes in the UK prison system. Michael served in the British Army during the troubles, serving nearly six years in Northern Ireland before entering the prison service of England and Wales as a uniformed officer, working his way up to become a Deputy Governor with over 20 years operational experience. This book is about Michael’s personal experiences and observations. He describes cliques which he believes operate with impunity in the higher echelons of HM Prison Service and the wider criminal justice system. He provides his own evidence of institutional incompetence, corruption, and bullying used by these people to deal with those who uncover their villainous behaviour. He describes how, in his experience, they use policies, rules, and regulations of the system to support their narcissistic, nefarious groups whose purpose it is to destroy any threat to them and protect their abuse of the public purse to feed their greed. There’s a lot of interest in what goes on in our prisons, with books such as the ‘The Governor’ and ‘Strangeways’ giving prison officers’ perspectives. ‘Not the Life of Riley’ continues this theme.

So why did the sassy, struggling-to-make-ends-meet spitfire enchant him? Worse, why did he hire her as his live-in housekeeper, where she'd be underfoot, on his mind and teasing his libido as he pursued his perfect, polished bride-to-be?

Book Synopsis Milton: The life by : William Riley Parker
Download or read book Milton: The life written by William Riley Parker and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parker's life of Milton has long been accepted as one of the great literary biographies of the twentieth century, a unique accomplishment of scholarship based on a vast range of documentary evidence. Originally published in 1968, the biography was immediately acclaimed as `indispensable',`authoritative', as well as `controversial', and Parker himself was described in The Review of English Studies as `a living library and a walking museum'. Gordon Campbell's new and revised edition of Volume 1 forms a complete, self-contained, and wholly accessible account of Milton's life whichremains essential reading for the student of seventeenth-century literature, and for anyone who share Parker's enthusiasm for Milton's poetry.
