Download or read book Millionaire Castaway written by Dave Glasheen and published by Affirm Press. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dave Glasheen's life began spiralling out of control after he lost his family's vast fortune in the stock market crash of 1987. After a series of catastrophes, he needed to take drastic measures to restore himself. Opting out of the rat race, he cast himself away to a deserted island off the north-east tip of Australia, as far off the grid as was humanly possible. He has lived there ever since. One annual supermarket shop, a sketchy internet connection, and enough ingredients for a home brew satisfy Dave's material needs. He catches fish, traps rainwater and cooks on an open fire. For company he tames dingoes, meets with friends from the Aboriginal community 40 kilometres away, and entertains drop-ins such as Russell Crowe sailing past on his honeymoon. Then there's Dave's running feud with Boxhead, an antisocial saltwater crocodile who just won't leave him in peace. Between heartbreak and hair-raising adventures, Dave has found happiness on Restoration Island. Brimming with humour, eccentricity and hard-earned wisdom, The Millionaire Castaway will give you a whole new view on life.

Book excerpt: Zeus is a god with a reputation for lechery, and it's been driving his wife Hera nuts for years. Reaching her limit one night, she puts together an epic practical joke: she places a spell on Zeus that makes him fall in lust with every inanimate object in sight! It was a night Zeus doesn't remember, but his godly seed took root nevertheless. Now, eighteen years later, his unnatural hybrid bastards wander the world. And because Zeus has a reputation to protect, these embarrassing freaks have got to go! But this motley crew refuses to go quietly. Through schemes both ingenious and idiotic — Cotton, a smarmy cloth patchwork; Carmine, a timid automobile; Corey, a self-loathing apple; Walter, a belligerent stack of bricks; and Panos, their gallant would-be leader — will force their negligent father to acknowledge them — that is, if their own squabbling doesn't defeat them first! Collecting the mini-series that takes Greek mythology in a decidedly different direction, the Hybrid Bastards! hardcover includes a bonus story and pin-ups by talented guests.

Book excerpt: I'M GILULI OF THE RED MIGHTY NATIONLAND. Fifty-four years ago, the Corporate World War of 2050 annihilated a bunch of animal and insect species on the planet, not to mention billions of people, but the good news is that we were born - the Red Mighties. They don't like us. They call us mutants. I'm attending their high school in the afternoons to try to understand them better, which believe me is no cup of tea, except for one particular Pre-ev guy who I could drink right up. Meanwhile, they're trying to steal our pure water source and stop us from saving the Red Mighty babies born to their people. I want to help... but I'm not sure I can do what they're asking. "Backbiters is as unique and fresh as its heroine, embracing openness to whatever forms evolution might take us. An enjoyable and satisfying read that will leave you looking at the world in a different way." - Colleen Chen, author of Dysmorphic Kingdom "With a compelling, authentic and energetic voice, Giluli pulls us into her world and her adventure. Righteous and endearing, she forges ahead into the complexities of growing up at the epicenter of clashing ideologies, political tensions and ah yes, high school drama. I couldn't wait to see how she'd come through it all!" - Soramimi Hanarejima, author of Visits to the Confabulatorium "North Korea blasts a nuclear bomb on its southern neighbor, and the resulting corporate warfare changes history and human beings... Debra Leea Glasheen depicts an intricate plot in a masterfully -constructed, highly-detailed futuristic world." - Marcin Dolecki, author of Philosopher's Crystal

Download or read book Finnegans Wake written by John Gordon and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1986-12-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the only full-length study of Finnegans Wake to outline and catalog the immense amount of naturalistic detail from which Joyce built the book. The opening chapters describe the physical setting, time, and main characters out of which the book is constructed. John Gordon argues that behind this detail is an essentially autobiographical story involving Joyce's history and, in particular, his feelings toward his father, wife, daughter and the older brother who died in infancy. Many of the author's findings are new and likely to be controversial because recent criticism has tended to the belief that what he attempts to do cannot be done. This new study of Finnegans Wake represents a radically conservative approach and is intended to function both as a guide to the newcomer seeking a chapter-by-chapter plot summary and as an original contribution to Joyce criticism.
