Download or read book Call Me Marlowe written by Catherine de Saint Phalle and published by Transit Lounge . This book was released on 2023-05-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in both Prague and Melbourne, Call Me Marlowe captures a man’s search for his motherland in the hope of making sense of his life. With a delicate touch, the novel embodies the nature of trauma — both personal and political — in people’s lives. Harold Vaněk loves Marylou, a woman he met in South Korea, where she was working as a sex worker, but whom he has managed to bring to Melbourne. She is the one who calls Harold ‘Marlowe’. Theirs is an uncommonly beautiful but tenuous intimacy. Harold feels his mistakes are urging him to leave Melbourne. In a wild gamble to retrieve all he has lost, he disappears to Prague. What happens in ‘the City of a Hundred Spires’ is both remarkable and affecting. The people he meets there — Vacláv, Marie, Pete, and Petr — and the soul of the city itself provide answers and a ‘world’ that he desperately wants Marylou to be part of. But is it all too late? Praise for Saint Phalle's writing: 'Saint Phalle writes with a clear-eyed humanity and wisdom about human nature.' — Stella Prize Judges ‘An engaged and engaging novelist we can’t afford to ignore.’ — Australian Book Review ‘Novels of this quality are a rare event...The Sea & Us resembles a beautiful symphony.’ — ArtsHub ‘Poetic yet down-to-earth, Poum and Alexandre is a work of sustained intensity, tenderness and generosity of spirit.’ — The Age

Download or read book Harry s Apology written by David Martin Anderson and published by ConRoca Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-30 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Tokyo, hidden by towers of steel and glass, huddles the ancient temple known as Zojoji. It is a sacred haven where thousands of stone effigies of stillborns are scattered, awaiting the arrival of the deity, Jizobosatsu, the Shinto rescuer of lost souls. It is also the place where one of the effigies defiantly holds a small American flag. That lone statue is all that remains to the memory of the POW abuse at nearby Omori prison and to the young men who perished at the hands of their captors. After waiting fifty-five years, one of the POW survivors, Harry Kaplonsky, has initiated a lawsuit against the Japanese government to even the score: he is suing for an apology. Coincident with the litigation, Harry is being interviewed, his memoirs considered a literary gold mine. Aspiring author, Tinker, his autobiographer and the story's narrator, has cornered him at the annual USS Houston reunion eager to record the deeds that have turned Harry into a vengeful old man. Early on, she discovers Harry is dying of cancer and quite eager to divulge the truth about the abuse that took place at Omori. It is Harry’s guilt over the deaths of five crewmates that has sparked his desire to tell-all; likewise, his culpability has led to a fifty-year schism between himself and the remaining survivors. With the litigation, Harry is hoping to not only gain public attention for the plight of fallen comrades but also clear his name with his POW brothers. The legal action pits the old veteran against the might of the Japanese government and a U.S. State Department eager to gain trade concessions.

Download or read book The Foundling written by William Flores and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Foundling: Journey of a Street Child is a story about both tragedy and triumph. It shows how although life for a child might start off hard, cold and present obstacles seemingly insurmountable, good health and happiness can ultimately still be obtained. On a deeper level, it is an intimate look at some of the darkest times in the life of one abandoned and neglected child who turned to the streets for survival, to meet his basic human needs. Unlike most contemporary writings on this subject though, this incredible story not only makes clear the criminal activities and dysfunctional life styles bred in the belly of an urban underworld, it demonstrates how his street smarts and well honed survival skills took one boy, literally, from the park bench to Park Avenue. The Foundling is a fantastic story of how one child's commitment to live, by any means necessary, eventually led him to a very successful and fullfilled work and family life. This qualification can only be told by him since its based on his true life history: as a young boy running from an unfair, insensitive and callous foster care system; and teenager looking for love and acceptance in all the wrong places; to a young man finding true freedom and joy in life beyond his wildest imagination.

Book excerpt: Nothing in James Hall's life prepared him for what happened. When he was in Africa writing about the legendary singer Miriam Makeba, she perceived he had the rare gift to see both into the future and into people's souls. At her urging, Hall consulted a sangoma, a traditional healer, who told him he was possessed by ancestral spirits. Hall could receive the power to heal others and to become a sangoma himself ... if he was willing to take the risk. He did - embracing an uncertain future and undergoing a two-year spiritual and physical ordeal. What he experienced shook his grasp of reality to the core as he surrendered himself to souls from the spirit world, learned to read messages in divination bones and attained a lifetime's worth of knowledge about collecting and preparing the plants used in traditional medicine. James Hall has written a candid, dramatically personal account of his unique spiritual journey.
