Download or read book Get Lucky written by Paul Eagles and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2016-07-13 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get Lucky: A Rogue’s Tale is the true story of a rogue, sometimes lovable but often otherwise. Paul’s mum blamed his reverse Road to Damascus on a meeting between a bubble car and an oak tree. The blue-eyed boy became a rebellious teen, up for mischief and mayhem in the long hot Spanish summers of his misspent youth. It was women, booze and brawls, until one day he hit the big time and nicked a Rubens painting from a Dutch museum. This catapulted him into the louche demi-monde of Sixties Geneva: crooked billionaires, arms dealers, the world of the legendary art forger Elmyr de Hory and his partner in crime, Fernand Legros, a milieu portrayed in Orson Welles’ F For Fake. Paul was captured by the French police, but escaped, only to be taken again. This time he was thrown into the notorious Marseilles gaol, Baumettes. He was then imprisoned in Holland, escaping just before the Sixties’ end. In 1999, the rogue met his perfect match. He was gaoled for alleged witness intimidation, then freed when the cop pursuing him became the witness’ lover. But while he was inside, his bank account was cleaned out by his lawyer and an erstwhile business advisor. It was revenge and retribution as his adversaries lined up: a bunny boiler, a consigliere to the Maltese Mafia, and Alan Bond’s fixer. This path would take him from near madness to untold weath – if he could get lucky and secure the rights to a rogue state’s mineral deposits... Life happens to Paul Eagles, especially when he’s not looking. Get Lucky: A Rogue’s Tale is not a conventional autobiography; it’s the tale of someone who hasn’t always done the best by his fellow travellers, yet somehow comes up smelling of roses. From brawler to international art thief to successful entrepreneur would satisfy most people, but fate had other plans for Paul Eagles, as Get Lucky becomes a story of betrayal and retribution, often reading more like a novel than a memoir. But it is all true, with even the darkest moments leavened by humour in a book with a cast of real-life characters, many of whom once filled newspaper column inches. It’s a quirky and idiosyncratic tale, as much an entertainment as it is the story of one lucky man’s unconventional life.

Download or read book Reciprocal Constructions written by Vladimir P. Nedjalkov and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2007-11-06 with total page 2249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph constitutes the first comprehensive investigation of reciprocal constructions and related phenomena in the world’s languages. Reciprocal constructions (of the type The two boys hit each other, The poets admire each other’s poems) have often been the subject of language-particular studies, but it is only in this work that a truly global comparative picture emerges. Nine stage-setting chapters dealing with general and theoretical matters are followed by 40 chapters containing in-depth descriptions of reciprocals in individual languages by renowned specialists. The introductory papers provide a conceptual and terminological framework that allows the authors of the individual chapters to characterize their languages in comparable terms, making it easy for the reader to see points of commonality between languages and constructions that have never been compared before. This set of volumes is an indispensable starting point and will be a lasting reference work for any future studies of reciprocals.

Download or read book Archaeology at El Per Waka written by Olivia C. Navarro-Farr and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2015-08-15 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeology at El Perú-Waka’ is the first book to summarize long-term research at this major Maya site. The results of fieldwork and subsequent analyses conducted by members of the El Perú-Waka’ Regional Archaeological Project are coupled with theoretical approaches treating the topics of ritual, memory, and power as deciphered through material remains discovered at Waka’. The book is site-centered, yet the fifteen wide-ranging contributions offer readers greater insight to the richness and complexity of Classic-period Maya culture, as well as to the ways in which archaeologists believe ancient peoples negotiated their ritual lives and comprehended their own pasts. El Perú-Waka’ is an ancient Maya city located in present-day northwestern Petén, Guatemala. Rediscovered by petroleum exploration workers in the mid-1960s, it is the largest known archaeological site in the Laguna del Tigre National Park in Guatemala’s Maya Biosphere Reserve. The El Perú-Waka’ Regional Archaeological Project initiated scientific investigations in 2003, and through excavation and survey, researchers established that Waka’ was a key political and economic center well integrated into Classic-period lowland Maya civilization, and reconstructed many aspects of Maya life and ritual activity in this ancient community. The research detailed in this volume provides a wealth of new, substantive, and scientifically excavated data, which contributors approach with fresh theoretical insights. In the process, they lay out sound strategies for understanding the ritual manipulation of monuments, landscapes, buildings, objects, and memories, as well as related topics encompassing the performance and negotiation of power throughout the city’s extensive sociopolitical history.
