Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Father Alex Smythe is a young parish priest visiting St. Agnes for the first time. St Agnes is a large and wealthy parish. He notices a young lady sitting up front with the junior choir. To him she seems to have no interest in the service or his sermon. Then he discovers that her attention is taken up with the sound of ball and bat of a game of cricket playing just out side the church windows. Even more shocking to his senses is that the girl is the soloist for the morning. When she stood and started to sing, his heart skipped a beat. Who is she, he wanted to know. She was Czarina Hollis the pride and joy of her family. There are more things in store for Father Smythe. Follow him and see how he wins his love and the heart of the town.
Download or read book I Do and I Don t written by Jeanine Basinger and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2014-03-11 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is “happily ever after”—except when things aren’t happy, and when “ever after” is abruptly terminated by divorce, tragedy . . . or even murder. With her large-hearted understanding of how movies—and audiences—work, leading film historian Jeanine Basinger traces the many ways Hollywood has tussled with the tricky subject of marriage, explicating the relationships of countless marriages from Blondie and Dagwood to the heartrending couple in the Iranian A Separation, from Coach and his wife in Friday Night Lights to Tracy and Hepburn, and even to Laurel and Hardy (a marriage if ever there was one). A treasure trove of insight and sympathy, illustrated with scores of wonderfully telling movie stills, posters, and ads.

Download or read book Alexander I written by Alan Palmer and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2014-06-12 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Alan Palmer himself writes in his preface, 'Alexander 1, ruler of Russia for the first quarter of the nineteenth century, is remembered today mainly on three counts: as the Tsar who refused to make peace with the French when Moscow fell in 1812; as the idealist who sought to bind Europe's sovereigns in a Holy Alliance in 1815; and as the Emperor who died - or gave the impression of having died - at the remote southern seaport of Taganrog in the winter of 1825. Recent interest has concentrated , perhaps excessively, on the third of these dramatic episodes akthough it is natural that the epic years of the struggle with Napoleon should continue to excite the historical imagination.' He has been dubbed 'The Enigmatic Tsar'. There are many contrasting opinions of him. Thomas Jefferson declared 'A more virtuous man, I believe, does no exist, nor one who is more enthusiastically devoted to better the condition of mankind. Castlereagh thought well of him, too, but both Metternich and Napoleon considered him inconsistent and untrustworthy. And Pushkin famously described him as 'a Sphinx who carried his riddle with him to the tomb.' an assessment even more piquant if it is true, as some maintain, his tomb in empty. With his customary blend of meticulous scholarship and agreeable writing, Alan Palmer provides the most balanced and engaging portrait imaginable. 'A pleasure to read and unlikely to be replaced for many years' Philip Ziegler, The Times 'Excellent . . . a major biographical achievement, a notable contribution to our understanding of this still enigmatic monarch' Robert Blake, Spectator
