Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of "Colin II: A Novel" is an interesting look at how complicated people's lives are. It has drama, romance, and deep reflection. The unconventional, written by the great storyteller E. F. Benson, takes readers into a world where the main character, Colin, struggles with love, desire, and finding his own identity. The story shows Colin's journey with nuance and depth, weaving together a tapestry of feelings and relationships against a background of societal changes and personal revelations. The characters come to life in E. F. Benson's writing style, which is known for sharp observations and a diffused sense of humor. This makes the characters likable and appealing to readers. As Colin deals with the ups and downs of his life, "The Radical" grows into more than just a small story; it becomes a study on what it means to be human. The story is about finding out about yourself, the effects of choices, and how fate and free will work together. These themes stay with the reader and make them think about their own paths and decisions. "Colin II: A Novel" is a great example of how good E. F. Benson is at telling stories. It takes readers on an interesting and thought-provoking literary trip that stays with them.

Download or read book Singapore Burning written by Colin Smith and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2006-05-04 with total page 969 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Churchill's description of the fall of Singapore on 15 February 1942, after Lt-Gen Percival's surrender led to over 100,000 British, Australian and Indian troops falling into the hands of the Japanese, was no wartime exaggeration. The Japanese had promised that there would be no Dunkirk in Singapore, and its fall led to imprisonment, torture and death for thousands of allied men and women. With much new material from British, Australian, Indian and Japanese sources, Colin Smith has woven together the full and terrifying story of the fall of Singapore and its aftermath. Here, alongside cowardice and incompetence, are forgotten acts of enormous heroism; treachery yet heart-rending loyalty; Japanese compassion as well as brutality from the bravest and most capricious enemy the British ever had to face.
Download or read book Young Skins written by Colin Barrett and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A blockbuster collection from one of Ireland’s most exciting young voices: “Sharp and lively . . . a rough, charged, and surprisingly fun read” (Interview). A National Book Foundation 5 Under 35 Honoree * Winner of the Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award * Winner of the Guardian First Book Award * Winner of the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature Enter the small, rural town of Glanbeigh, a place whose fate took a downturn with the Celtic Tiger, a desolate spot where buffoonery and tension simmer and erupt, and booze-sodden boredom fills the corners of every pub and nightclub. Here, and in the towns beyond, the young live hard and wear the scars. Amongst them, there’s jilted Jimmy, whose best friend Tug is the terror of the town and Jimmy’s sole company in his search for the missing Clancy kid; Bat, a lovesick soul with a face like “a bowl of mashed up spuds” even before Nubbin Tansey’s boot kicked it in; and Arm, a young and desperate criminal whose destiny is shaped when he and his partner, Dympna, fail to carry out a job. In each story, a local voice delineates the grittiness of post boom Irish society. These are unforgettable characters rendered through silence, humor, and violence. “Lyrical and tough and smart . . . What seems to be about sorrow and foreboding turns into an adventure, instead, in the tender art of the unexpected.” —Anne Enright, Man Booker Prize Award–winning author “Sometimes comic, sometimes melancholy, Young Skins touches the heart, as well as the mind.” —Irish American Post

Download or read book Colin s Campus written by Gary M. Bouchard and published by Susquehanna University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Colin's Campus argues that pastoral poetry is inevitably a backwards-looking genre, preoccupied with the past. This preoccupation in the case of Spenser, as well as his pastoral followers, returned him to the Cambridge he had recently left behind, not the court to which he never really arrived." "Responding to the pastoral-court connection which has been at the center of nearly all historical considerations of pastoral for the past two decades, this study invites readers to seriously consider the reverse connection, that is, the academic ingredients in the pastoral world."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Handbook of Quantifiers in Natural Language Volume II written by Denis Paperno and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 1012 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents the structure, distribution and semantic interpretation of quantificational expressions in languages from diverse language families and typological profiles. The current volume pays special attention to underrepresented languages of different status and endangerment level. Languages covered include American and Russian Sign Languages, and sixteen spoken languages from Africa, Australia, Papua, the Americas, and different parts of Asia. The articles respond to a questionnaire the editors constructed to enable detailed crosslinguistic comparison of numerous features. They offer comparable information on semantic classes of quantifiers (generalized existential, generalized universal, proportional, partitive), syntactically complex quantifiers (intensive modification, Boolean compounds, exception phrases, etc.), and several more specific issues such as quantifier scope ambiguities, floating quantifiers, and binary (type 2) quantifiers. The book is intended for semanticists, logicians interested in quantification in natural language, and general linguists as articles are meant to be descriptive and theory independent. The book continues and expands the coverage of the Handbook of Quantifiers in Natural Language (2012) by the same editors, and extends the earlier work in Matthewson (2008), Gil et al. (2013) and Bach et al (1995).
