Download or read book The World Is My Home written by James A. Michener and published by Dial Press. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary legend James A. Michener was “a Renaissance man, adventurous, inquisitive, unpretentious and unassuming, with an encyclopedic mind and a generous heart” (The New York Times Book Review). In this exceptional memoir, the man himself tells the story of his remarkable life and describes the people, events, and ideas that shaped it. Moving backward and forward across time, he writes about the many strands of his experience: his passion for travel; his lifelong infatuation with literature, music, and painting; his adventures in politics; and the hard work, headaches, and rewards of the writing life. Here at last is the real James Michener: plainspoken, wise, and enormously sympathetic, a man who could truly say, “The world is my home.” BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from James A. Michener's Hawaii. Praise for The World Is My Home “Michener’s own life makes one of his most engaging tales—a classic American success story.”—Entertainment Weekly “The Michener saga is as full of twists as any of his monumental works. . . . His output, his political interests, his patriotic service, his diligence, and the breadth of his readership are matched only by the great nineteenth-century writers whose works he devoured as he grew up—Dickens, Balzac, Mark Twain.”—Chicago Tribune “There are splendid yarns about [Michener’s] wartime doings in the South Pacific. There are hilarious cautionary tales about his service on government commissions. There are wonderful inside stories from the publishing business. And always there is Michener himself—analyzing his own character, assessing himself as a writer, chronicling his intellectual life, giving advice to young writers.”—The Plain Dealer “A sweepingly interesting life . . . Whether he’s having an epiphany over a campout in New Guinea with head-hunting cannibals or getting politically charged by the melodrama of great opera, James A. Michener’s world is a place and a time worth reading about.”—The Christian Science Monitor

Soon they are lost in an alternate reality confronting the legacy of an ancient conflict with a dark alien intelligence that laid to waste an entire solar system. If that was not enough to worry about, Tom still has Amber’s eccentric father and a possible rival for her affections to contend with.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Me on the Moon Seventeen-year-old Joseph "Dubbie" Lawson's life was turned upside down when his grandfather's almost tragic fall down the staircase left him no longer able to run the family farm. Dubbie would go to live with his grandparents full time. Dubbie has been coming to his grandparents' farm for the summer since he was five years old, so living there was nothing new to him. But now he wouldn't go home after the summer ended. Although this is the life Dubbie wanted for himself, he never realized it would come through heartbreaks and tragedies. In the midst of everything going on in his life, Dubbie also finds the love of his life, the girl next door. She had been there the whole time, and Dubbie never knew it. This is the tale of an unforgettable story where a young man is forced to grow up into adulthood as life unfolds before him. In a way that only a C.R. Waters's novel can, love is allowed to grow through heartaches and pain, laughter and sorrows, where a young man's love for his parents and grandparents is deep and the love of two young people grows deeper.

His sleepy village no longer beams with life. As Jim traces his family roots, he learns why others have stayed and left – and then returned again.
