The Saint of the Speedway

Autor: Ridgwell Cullum

Número de Páginas: 254

It was a time of tense emotion. Each was a surge with an almost uncontrollable excitement as the two men moved up the whole length of the riffled sluice. Neither uttered one single word. But they moved slowly on either side of the long, primitive, box-like construction, keeping pace, each with the other, as though in a mutual desire that such fortune as was theirs should be witnessed together, as though neither had courage to face alone the possibilities of this their first serious "washing." At each riffle the men paused. The more emotional of the two, Len Stern, thrust out a hand and stirred the deposit lying there. And at each stirring, the same result was revealed. The riffles were filled with deposits. On the top was a spread of lighter soil, with here and there a dull yellow protrusion thrusting above it. But under this lay a solid thickness of pure alluvial gold in dust and smaller nuggets. From the top end of the sluice-box to the mouth which disgorged the red soil upon the miniature mountain of tailings below it, it was the same. There was not one single riffle that was not laden to its capacity with the precious metal. They came to a halt at the head of the box. Len...

We Live in Water

Autor: Jess Walter

Número de Páginas: 192

From Jess Walter, the bestselling author of Beautiful Ruins, comes We Live in Water - a darkly funny, utterly compelling collection of stories about the American family. We Live in Water brings to vivid life a world of lost fathers and redemptive con men, of personal struggles and diminished dreams, a world marked by the wry wit and generosity of spirit that has made Jess Walter one of America's most talked-about writers. In 'Thief', a blue-collar worker turns unlikely detective to find out which of his kids is stealing from the family vacation fund. In 'We Live in Water', a lawyer returns to a corrupt North Idaho town to find the father who disappeared thirty years earlier. In 'Anything Helps', a homeless man has to 'go to cardboard' to raise enough money to buy his son the new Harry Potter book. In 'Virgo', a local newspaper editor tries to get back at his superstitious ex-girlfriend by screwing with her horoscope. The final story transforms slyly from a portrait of Walter's hometown into a moving contemplation of our times.

'Changing Chauvinism One Book at a Time' Imagine men whom have suffered some of the same travesties that women have suffered...... Yes, men that are intuned with their emotions; who are abused, cheated on, and heartbroken. Imagine husbands and boyfriends lied to, kicked out and unsupported. Imagine an unattended spouse, a sensitive thug, and a scorned gentleman. Women bashing? My experience in writing "Changing Chauvinism One Book at a Time", comes from the internal hurt and pain; emotionally, that I have suffered. I've been in love. I've hurt others and have also been hurt by others. Yet, during the painful times, no woman would trust in my emotions. Leaving me to become abandoned by someone in whom I really loved. The agony of the matter was that, she was apparently under the impression that I wasn't hurting, I didn't nor don't, care. When in actually, I was torn inside. My experience, I believe, allows me firsthand to write and describe the myths behind these clichés.........That real men DO experience emotions; has fears, doubts, and all the struggles and strengths that our ancestors possessed. Yes! We are a new breed of men, who loves harder and with an urgency and...

The moments, desires, fears that dwells in the mind of the character for which they are not responsible.

Where I Stand

Autor: Serge Liberman

Número de Páginas: 346

Told through the eyes of a doctor, these narratives explore the question of what it means to confront life in all its manifestations, to suffer and be human. Raphael Bloom meets a fascinating and complex range of patients who come to him, not only to be healed physically but to grapple with existential problems of meaning, disappointment and hope. Through these encounters, he explores issues of faith and individual purpose in an alienating hard-edged world, of anger and forgiveness, of despair and creative fortitude. Set in Melbourne, these compassionate and compelling stories achieve universal resonance, while the characters will live on in your mind long after you turn the last page. Serge Liberman's writing is eloquent, luminous and accomplished.

Angel Falls

Autor: Oliver Dick

Número de Páginas: 156

People bask in the glory of their successes and contemplate difficulties when they fail. Because of this element of human nature, those who have more difficulties in life also have more motivation and opportunity to develop their minds. In this tail of morality two, kindhearted individuals Linda and Peako, face the extreme moral challenge of taking life for the greater good. Linda, a devout Christian, sees only the good in the world. She emotionally, faithfully and completely embraces society's peaceful institutions, overlooking and/or forgiving any inconsistencies within them. Employing this perspective, she lacks the ability to distinguish between the beneficial elements within institutions' and those that are detrimental to society. Peako, on the other hand, scrutinizes every element of life. When he considers society's institution he breaks them down into their most basic elements. To him the all-inspiring institutions, which can bind nations, are no more than lists of ideas-some he likes and some he does not like. Viewing the worlds' great and inspiring institutions as long but simple lists of concise points makes life appear no more substantial than a game. Peako and Linda...

Expect the unexpected and the unusual when you go Off Road. Take Garrett—the hired man—who picks the right numbers in the lottery, but can’t seem to pick the right draw. Or Elvira Classen who—shunned by her heartthrob in high school—gets her revenge at an auction sale. Some of these stories are told with a tongue-in-cheek humour while others tackle the sterner side of reality: Old Mrs. Burg coming to terms with a gay son; the widower farmer who meets God in the cow pasture . . . or maybe not. Although mainly set in the Canadian prairie, the events portrayed are really about all places, and all times.

Sixteen miles downstream from the birthplace of George Washington where the Shenandoah River comes out of the Blue Ridge carrying sycamore leaves and acorns came a gem that shone brighter than most. That gem was Linda Wails, but as providence would have it her life took as many steep drops and winding turns as did that river. The death of her father, a move to a godforsaken place with so few trees and so much sand, a bout with cancer, and an unrelenting relationship with her son Corey, left Linda no choice but to throw her hands up to the world and submit. The Time Keeper is the story of Linda's return and one last somersault down the river is required. With the North Carolina state baseball playoffs in full swing, seventeen year old Corey Wails has more important matters to attend than his mother's recent wish to make amends. To Corey, life is as simple as the game -- a fastball, a curve ball, and waste a pitch before the strike out. It is the game that Corey loves, and like a ball player who hears no chatter he tightens his blinders and races towards the finish line. But what he finds when he gets there bares no resemblance to what he had dreamed for so long. His mother's change ...
