Book excerpt: This book is about my life. I crossed county sixteen times on foot on most of it and lived on the road for fifteen years, eating wild edible plants and always leaving home with no money. This book is more than just a book. This book can save lives. Say you have no family and no friends and you're homeless. The knowledge in this book can save your life. Of course you will have to be extremely careful if anyone ever tries to do this. I urge anyone who reads my book to use this knowledge only if they are in trouble. The reason for this book is to save people and open people's eyes to the drifter world, a world most people only briefly hear about. I'm letting the world know what these homeless world travelers go through in great detail. It took me fifteen years to write this book because I kept getting rained on and my book kept getting ruined. I'm proud to finally give the world The Diary of a Drifter.
Download or read book The Inman Diary written by Arthur Crew Inman and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 1748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1919 and his death by suicide in 1963, Arthur Crew Inman wrote what is surely one of the fullest diaries ever kept by any American. Convinced that his bid for immortality required complete candor, he held nothing back. This abridgment of the original 155 volumes is at once autobiography, social chronicle, and an apologia addressed to unborn readers. Into this fascinating record Inman poured memories of a privileged Atlanta childhood, disastrous prep-school years, a nervous collapse in college followed by a bizarre life of self-diagnosed invalidism. Confined to a darkened room in his Boston apartment, he lived vicariously: through newspaper advertisements he hired "talkers" to tell him the stories of their lives, and he wove their strange histories into the diary. Young women in particular fascinated him. He studied their moods, bought them clothes, fondled them, and counseled them on their love affairs. His marriage in 1923 to Evelyn Yates, the heroine of the diary, survived a series of melodramatic episodes. While reflecting on national politics, waifs and revolutions, Inman speaks directly about his fears, compulsions, fantasies, and nightmares, coaxing the reader into intimacy with him. Despite his shocking self-disclosures he emerges as an oddly impressive figure. This compelling work is many things: a case history of a deeply troubled man; the story of a transplanted and self-conscious southerner; a historical overview of Boston illuminated with striking cityscapes; an odd sort of American social history. But chiefly it is, as Inman himself came to see, a gigantic nonfiction novel, a new literary form. As it moves inexorably toward a powerful denouement, The Inman Diary is an addictive narrative.

Download or read book Diary of a Company Man written by James S. Kunen and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2012-01-10 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The funny, insightful, and inspiring story of a 1960s campus radical turned corporate PR man who finds himself, along with his fellow baby boomers, in a place called “Too Young to Retire and Too Old to Hire” James S. Kunen—author of The Strawberry Statement, an account of the 1968 student uprising at Columbia University—chronicles his adventures on the road to finding meaning in work and life. He traces his evolution from a rebellious youth who sees working as a kind of death, to a laid-off corporate executive who experiences not working as a kind of death, to a reinvented and reinvigorated individual who discovers something important and meaningful to do. The experience of falling victim to America’s recession-ravaged economy (and the people who run it) leads him along a career path far different from anything he had planned. After years of making a living, Kunen finally learns how to make a life. Diary of a Company Man will be a revelation not only to baby boomers but to young people trying to figure out what to do with their lives.

Download or read book 100 British Documentaries written by Patrick Russell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since John Grierson popularized the term 'documentary,' British non-fiction film has been renowned, sometimes reviled, but seldom properly appreciated. '100 British Documentaries 'provides a uniquely accessible, occasionally provocative introduction to a rich and surprisingly varied tradition by considering 100 examples taken from across a century's worth of output. The 100 films range from the Victorian period to the present day. Alongside such classics as 'Night Mail 'and 'Touching the Void 'are documentaries that illustrate the many uses to which it has been put from pro-gram-filler to political propaganda to classroom teaching aid and the many styles and viewpoints it has embraced. While the focus is on the documentary 'film,' several television productions are included, indicating how the genre has developed on the small screen.

Download or read book Victoria Falls and Colonial Imagination in British Southern Africa written by Andrea L. Arrington-Sirois and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-22 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first full- length historical analysis of Victoria Falls. The text offers a critical examination of Victoria Falls providing new insight into the British Southern African project and reveals how Victoria Falls became one of the first modern African tourist destinations. This book makes a case for a critical reading of Victoria Falls as much more than a localized natural wonder. Europeans with multiple and often competing agendas, as well as African leaders and laborers were brought into contact with one another at Victoria Falls. Their visions of the past and hopes for the future shared Victoria Falls as a common point of inspiration. The value these parties placed on the Falls extended far beyond its location on the Zambezi and had broad implications for the British Empire in Southern and Central Africa.
