Each tale illustrates the interaction between human intentions and that most fickle of ungraspable things - fate. Wishes, plans, schemes, and actions are vulnerable when a chance throw of the dice can create havoc. Sometimes fate intervenes for the better creating good out of a potential disaster, but all too often it does so to create mayhem or tragedy. In these very human stories the impact of fate comes as an unexpected consequence - often only revealed in the final few words.

Book excerpt: Herein is collection of twelve very different short stories, each in its own way illustrating the ability of our old friend Fate to interfere with the best-laid plans that we humans can devise--sometimes for the good, and sometimes for the disastrously bad. For example, "A Royal Issue" tells of the king's difficulty in selecting a suitable husband for the royal princess. How will they choose the right one from such an unpromising list of available males? Or that of a weather disaster that turned into a riot that turned into a bonus in the story entitled "Zoo."

Download or read book Pfinger and the End of Power written by John Margeryson Lord and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-19 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a previous book, BORK and the Stones of Power, the birth of the giant stone circle and the start of a static agricultural orientated society is described. In this, the old ways are defended against a destroying army from the north led by Bork, and it survived. In this tale, the stones, and the ancestors they may have represented, are blamed for the natural hardships of weather and poor crops being experienced by the clan. Their ring of giant stones are attacked, ultimately destroyed, and eventually abandoned, as family groups followed each other looking for a better way of life. It had however performed its function for a good many generations. The Story Singers first appear in Bork and are a pure invention. But something of the kind probably existed to carry news between relatively isolated groups.

Download or read book Married to Stefan Zweig written by Friderike Zweig and published by Plunkett Lake Press. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential companion piece to Stefan Zweig's classic The World of Yesterday, this memoir addresses many of the questions that this internationally celebrated author raised but did not answer. A professional journalist and researcher in her own right who first encountered Zweig in 1908, Friderike threads her story between what Zweig called the Scylla of "exaggerated candor" and the Charybdis of self-love. She paints a detailed portrait of her famous husband from his birth into a wealthy Jewish family in late 19th century Vienna to his suicide (with his second wife) in Brazil in 1942. Married to Stefan Zweig, first published in 1946 under the title Stefan Zweig, provides a thorough overview of the writer's poems, plays, stories, biographies, essays and articles, his work habits, and his relations with editors, publishers, friends, mentors and protégés. Friderike also illuminates facets of the tumultuous context of political and social upheaval in which Zweig worked during his years in Salzburg and London. Married to Stefan Zweig is among the very small number of women’s memoirs from 20th century Central Europe and an unusual portrait of a marriage anywhere, anytime.
Download or read book The Fatal Flame written by Lyndsay Faye and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-05-12 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The final installment in Lyndsay Faye’s Timothy Wilde series, which Lee Child called “solid-gold” and Gillian Flynn declared “spectacular.” No one in 1840s New York likes fires, copper star Timothy Wilde least of all. After a blaze killed his parents and another left him with a terrible scar, he has avoided flames of all kinds. So when a seamstress turned arsonist threatens Robert Symmes, a corrupt tycoon high in the Tammany Hall ranks, Timothy isn’t thrilled that Symmes consults him. His dismay escalates when his audacious and charismatic older brother, Valentine, himself deeply politically entrenched, decides to run against the incumbent, who they suspect is guilty of assault and far darker crimes. Immediately after his brother’s courageous declaration, Timothy finds himself surrounded by powerful enemies who threaten to harm those he cares about most. Meanwhile, the love of Timothy’s life, Mercy Underhill, unexpectedly appears on his doorstep and takes under her wing a starving Irish orphan who may be the key to stopping the combustions threatening the city—if only they can make sense of her cryptic accounts. The closer they come to deciphering her wild tales of witches and angels, however, the closer Timothy comes to the fiery and shocking conclusion that forces him to face everything he fears most. A boisterous and suspenseful book from a master of historical adventure, The Fatal Flame is a tale for the ages.

Download or read book Rautavaara s Journey in Music written by Barbara Blanchard Hong and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Einojuhani Rautavaara (1928–2016) has been called Finland’s most notable musical export after Sibelius. His prolific output includes eleven operas; eight symphonies; eleven concertos; choral works for the Orthodox, Lutheran, and Roman Catholic churches; secular choral works; chamber music; vocal solos; and keyboard works. Many of these works were commissioned by internationally known performers and ensembles including Vladimir Ashkenazy, Richard Stoltzman, Hilary Hahn, Anne Akiko Meiers, Gerald Finley, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Juilliard School of Music Orchestra. Perhaps most frequently performed are his Cantus Arcticus, a concerto for recorded arctic birds and orchestra, Angel of Light, his seventh symphony, and the Lorca choral suite depicting Death as a stalker in a Spanish village. Rautavaara’s Journey in Music is divided into two sections; the first a biography and discussion of works that show his various style changes, from neoclassical, to twelve-tone, to neoromantic, and finally to a personal expressive style combining elements of twelve-tone and tonality. The second part divides his works by genre and gives more detailed information of stylistic analysis, libretto, provenance, and, often, reception.
