Book excerpt: In 1997, thirty long years after the Summer of Love, millions mourned the death of music legend Rose Partland, a tireless creative spirit who led her iconic band Jack O’Roses through the rigors of the rock & roll life, until the road finally consumed her—as though a devil had at last come for his due. Of her legions of followers, none seems to suffer the loss of Rose more than Brian ‘Nibbs Niffy’ Godbold, who succumbs to his grief in a fashion similar to that of his idol—too young, too soon. Now, best friend Ashton Tobias Zemp must scour the journals and manuscripts Nibbs left behind, to seek a better answer to the question of his touring partner’s death—was it an accidental overdose, or outright suicide? When he begins to suspect the truth—that Nibbs Niffy went to his grave harboring an appalling and ruinous secret—Ash is forced to reconsider his own past . . . was he a ‘real’ fan like Nibbs, or merely a fellow traveler: a sympathizer, but without the bona fides?

Download or read book The Intriguing Life and Ignominious Death of Maurice Benyovszky written by Andrew Drummond and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1790, Maurice Benyovszky’s posthumous memoir was an instant sensation. A tale of exploration and adventure beginning with his daring escape from a Siberian prison and ending with his coronation as King of Madagascar, it was translated into several languages and adapted for the theatre and opera. This book explores the veracity of this memoir and, more broadly, the challenges faced by the explorers of the age and the brutality of colonisation. The self-styled Hungarian Baron Maurice Auguste Aladar Benyovszky, Counsellor to the Duke of Saxony and Colonel in the service of the Queen of Hungary, was in fact only confirmed to have been an officer in a regiment of the Polish Confederation of Bar. While he did escape from Russian captors and subsequently travel to Japan, Formosa, China and Madagascar, many of his exploits were wildly exaggerated or simply invented. Andrew Drummond reveals an alternative picture of events by looking at statements from Benyovszky’s travelling companions and sceptical officials as well as contemporary documents from the places he claimed to have visited, untangling the truth behind his stories and examining what these stories can nonetheless tell us about the era in which Benyovszky lived. Witty and engagingly written, this book is fascinating reading for anyone interested in eighteenth-century colonial history and the story of early European and Russian explorers.
Download or read book From Existence to Life written by D C Anjaria and published by D C Anjaria. This book was released on 2023-08-07 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us are familiar to some degree with the philosophy of existentialism but regard it as too distant and austere a system of thought. For D. C. Anjaria, however, existentialism is the most sympathetic of the human languages that enable us to share and enjoy together the substance of life. This author's poetry expresses a sensibility that is particularly common to our century: that of a lone soul, restless and yearning for death as the ultimate experience, yet also leaning with nostalgic romanticism toward life and its pleasures, both innocent and guilty. The intractable guilt that has afflicted many of the poets and thinkers of the last several decades is very much a source of the inspiration for D. C. Anjaria's work. Unlike many contemporary poets, however, Anjaria perceives a living God, albeit one who always seems engaged with the author in an agon of classical dimensions. It is when the heavens shake That their dead dust falls On the immense nonentity of the universe And, in the same piece: The creation at all, O Creator, Was thy biggest mistake— Suicidal, O God: One of these days Life will kill you. Creation will go beyond you. The thoughtful reader can only be stimulated and invigorated by the mind at work in From Existence to Life.
