When Stan is unexpectedly double-crossed, and Evie takes an electrifying long weekend in Amsterdam, their lives radically change direction. Stan seeks revenge through plotting the perfect crime, while Evie begins to live life with adventure, each discovering excitement and help, neither confiding in the other.

Download or read book Yesterday s Weather written by Anne Enright and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2009-06-16 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named a Best Book of the Year by the New York Times Book Review, the San Francisco Chronicle, Kirkus Reviews, and the Washington Post Book World. From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Gathering and Actress, this is a collection of sharp, unpredictable short fiction about people struggling to connect in an increasingly disconnected world. Yesterday’s Weather shows us a rapidly changing Ireland, a land of family and tradition, but also, increasingly, of organic radicchio, cruise-ship vacations, and casual betrayals. An artisan farmer seethes at the patronage of a former Catholic-school classmate, now a successful restaurateur; a bride cheats on her rich husband with an old college friend—a madman who refuses his pills, disappears for weeks on end, and plays the piano like a dream. These and other stories make up a volume that is “astonishing: moving, emotionally accurate, sly, and laugh-out-loud funny” (O, The Oprah Magazine). “A dazzling collection.” —Time Out

Book excerpt: The bestselling author of Seven Seas, Nine Lives continues the remarkable experiences of Captain A.W.F. “Alfie” Sutton during the Second World War. Written in three parts, this book follows the harrowing adventures of Captain A.W.F. “Alfie” Sutton, CBE, DSC and bar, RN. During events which come as close to fiction as is imaginable, the first part describes how Alfie, badly injured and close to death during the bombing of HMS Illustrious by the Luftwaffe in January 1941, wakes to find himself laid out among the dead, but miraculously still able to help the ship on to Malta. After full recovery, part two starts with his involvement in the Allied campaign in Greece in the spring of 1941, leading to him eventually evacuating the Greek royal family in a flying boat. After numerous escapades he fights with the defenders during the German invasion of Crete in 1941. Admiral Cunningham was later to describe Sutton’s efforts as “an example of grand personal courage under the worst possible conditions which stands out brightly in the gloom.” It was a struggle doomed to failure, but Alfie survived to continue his war and tell his story to author Richard Pike who relates it here with passion, pace and drama.

Book excerpt: Alfie Fury is a genius, book worm and neat student. He is successful at highschool and always carries the book 1984 by George ORWELL with him. But, it doesn't go well with his family. He thinks it is a good idea to have the university education in another city in order to get away from his family because he wakes up to a morning of hatred everyday at home. He begins a new education life at the branch of physics and chemistry in California University due to his love of science. His years at university pass in poverty and he only has one friend, and also a British old friend whom he remembers sometimes and misses so much. He applies for jobs to some science institutions for earning his life at his university years but when he gets refused, he comes across a hot dog seller coincidentally and starts to work for him. Besides all, his biggest mistake is to mess with an illegal gumbling gang. He learns on the phone that his brother who was on duty in the army is dead and goes back to West Virginia, to where he never wanted to go back. Later, he falls in love with his new neighbour Valerie, whom he has seen for the first time in the garden in his life. Valerie is his first love in the life. He notices that his poor mother Sarah is still a worker at a textile factory, his brother has achieved nothing in his life yet and his quarrelsome father Micheal is still a drunk during the time he is home. He thinks he is right again and starts to develop intimacy with his love. This becomes possible due to Valerie's artist personality and Alfie's fondness to art. After a time, Alfie learns the truth from a colonel at the military service. He is told that his father was an old agent and his brother died in Turkey for special-ops. The colonel tells him that his family is in trouble with the Turks. Alfie turns to be a murderer in the chain of events for the sake of protecting the people who he loves both from the Turks and the gambling gang and he murders other people. Then, he begins to feel pleasure of that. He lastly murders his father and finally gets arrested owing to Valerie's betrayal after witnessing the murder. He gets judged and sentenced to execution by the electric chair. The execution is delayed for a week due to Alfie's confessions and he gets some time. He takes the advantage of his devilish mind in the jail and escapes from prison. Oddly, this becomes possible with his murdering another prisoner there. He's gone to England. He lives in a hotel room for a while. However, he can make us feel that he is insomniac. At last, he leaves the hotel room and decides to visit his English old friend. The prison-breaker, murderer, Alfie Fury disguises himself and steps forward to London streets. He finds out that his old friend passed away a short time ago. Both since he is bored of the police after him and his only love Valerie, who betrayed him, occurs in his head, he turns his route back to West Virginia city from where he wanted to stay away throughout his life. He gets caught by the police in front of Valerie's door but insists on not coming before seeing Valerie. Atfer seeing her, he tells his last words and commits a suicide by his own gun. Briefly, this is the story of Alfie Fury, who was world's most ordinary and quiet but genius man, his losing everything due to the urge of prorecting the people he loves and his wish to death because of endless family quarrels apart from his lover's betrayal.

Download or read book Damon Runyon Omnibus written by Damon Runyon and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compilation of the American newspaperman and short story writer Damon Runyon's works is sure to leave you in stitches. Runyon was best known for his short tales celebrating the world of Broadway in New York City, a world that grew out of the Prohibition era of the early twentieth century. To New Yorkers of his generation, a "Damon Runyon character" evoked a distinctive social type from Brooklyn or Midtown Manhattan. He spun humorous and sentimental tales of gamblers, hustlers, actors, and gangsters, few of whom go by "square" names, preferring instead colorful monikers such as "Nathan Detroit", "Benny Southstreet", "Big Jule", "Harry the Horse", "Good Time Charley", "Dave the Dude", or "The Seldom Seen Kid".

Download or read book Wayside Teaching written by Sara Davis Powell and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wayside teaching is about intentionally practicing what educators do every day in perhaps unintentional ways: relate to students. This practical, research-based guide illustrates how wayside teaching—the informal curriculum, implicit instruction, and mentoring that happens in sometimes unintentional ways—can be intentionally practiced across grade levels to enhance learning and boost student outcomes. Through a framework focused on attitudes, approaches, and actions, and using vignettes that illuminate wayside teaching in action, Sara Davis Powell demonstrates how reaching out to students in formal and informal situations helps create a culture of belonging and safety that strengthens a student’s self-image, confidence, resiliency, and cognitive processes. Offering invaluable resources, including student surveys for learning more about your students and an annotated booklist for promoting acceptance and compassion, Wayside Teaching reflects the powerful influence that teachers’ actions can have on their students’ academic and personal lives.
