Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travel Diary: Bolivia is a travel guidebook with a slant. It uses personal travelogues from people's trips to Bolivia. By reading these travelogues, one can gain a greater perspective on the culture and customs of a country and they can also see the places that the author enjoyed (or didn't enjoy) visiting. The book is best used in conjunction with a 'regular' travel guide, which provides the basic information for travelers, like hotel and restaurant information. But Travel Diary: Bolivia will give you information on actual visits to some restaurants and hotels and can steer you towards good places to dine and sleep and it can help you avoid the bad places. Many people enjoy reading travelogues before visiting foreign countries, but it is very difficult to print and carry this information with you. Travel Diary: Bolivia allows you to have access to the information found only in those travelogues by printing the travelogues in a paperback format, which is easy to carry and convenient for the traveler.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is strange which incidents in a long life will stick in your mind and recall in detail when stimulated by pictures, smells, or word triggers that bring to mind the occasion. This book is a collection of such memories, each reflecting the emotions and physical stimuli that accompany that moment in life. Each of us is the receptor and participant in that incident forever recorded in our store of significant moments in our lives; most are shared scenarios, but many are private, some secret, memories to be cherished or avoided in our daily routine. So many memories are lost, yet so many preserved and recalled occasionally or routinely. A few are forgotten only to be resurrected on some significant occasion. We have walked in these paths of recall from the start and to the completion of this book

But instead of fortune, they find themselves ensnared in a web of conspiracy, falsely implicated in a scheming admiral’s fervent mission to reclaim Bolivia’s access to the sea from Chile. Their journey is a whirlwind of close calls: dodging deadly assassins, unearthing the secrets of a concealed silver mine, and surviving a slew of harrowing events—from explosions and a peculiar boxing match to a treacherous mountain road crash and a high-stakes shootout.

Even the Pope, on his South American sojourn, becomes an unexpected figure in their unfolding saga. At the heart of the storm is Mike “Rooter” Mose, torn between his burgeoning affection for the admiral’s stunning young wife, Maria, and his deep respect for the seasoned sailor. As the tale crescendos aboard the admiral’s Manhattan cruise ship, amidst celebrations of their narrow escape from imprisonment, Maria’s covert flirtations threaten to tip the balance. Dive into a tale of loyalty, love, and the unforeseen challenges that test the mettle of heroes.

Download or read book The Monster of the Madidi written by Simon Chapman and published by White Lion Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hard evidence amounted to a grainy photo published in a 1929 London newspaper. Sitting on a packing case, propped up with a large stick, was what purported to be the body of a giant ape—the “Mono Rey.” It was said to have inhabited the dense jungles of northern Bolivia, around the Madidi river—but the last person to explore the region, the redoubtable Major Percy Harrison Fawcett back in the 1920s, had since disappeared without a trace. For Simon Chapman, however, the jungle is the only place to be, and the denser and more remote the better. Which is why Chapman, along with two eccentric companions, took an all-too-collapsible canoe into the swamps and rainforests of Bolivia to find the mythical monster of the Madidi. By turns gripping, comic, and touching, and with a superb awareness of the natural world,The Monster of the Madidimarks the debut of an exceptional new travel writer.

Download or read book Rage written by Sergio Bizzio and published by Bitter Lemon Press. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Fast-paced and entrancing psychological thriller”—Booklist "A portrait etched in acid of a Buenos Aires society menaced by economic and political crisis. Without value judgement but with light irony, Bizzio reveals the ugly secrets of a family, seen through the eyes of his naïve squatter. The imagery is often blinding and the dialogue pitch-perfect."—Le Temps José María, a construction worker, is in love with Rosa, a maid in an exclusive Buenos Aires mansion. Subjected to constant humiliation by his foreman, José María kills him, then hides on an empty floor in the mansion. He silently observes the decadent behavior of the owners and watches Rosa in her most intimate moments. José María is also privy to more humiliating experiences—he watches as Rosa is raped by the young son of the family, and so he must kill again. A metaphor for the decline of a social class, a country, and the resentment that spreads like a plague penetrating to the core of its people, Rage is also a tale of love and suspense that raises the tension with each successive page until it unavoidably shifts toward an intimate, shattering catastrophe. Humor, misfortune, shrewd social commentary, and thrilling erotic fantasy come together, offering the reader an inside vision of contemporary Argentina. Film adaptation of Sergio Bizzio’s Rabia, produced by Guillermo del Toro and directed by Sebastián Cordero, was presented at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival.

Download or read book Bipolar Faith written by Monica A. Coleman and published by Broadleaf Books . This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overcome with mental anguish, Monica A. Coleman's great-grandfather had his two young sons pull the chair out from beneath him when he hanged himself. That noose remained tied to a rafter in the shed, where it hung above the heads of his eight children who played there for years to come. As it had for generations before her, a heaviness hung over Monica throughout her young life. As an adult, this rising star in the academy saw career successes often fueled by the modulated highs of undiagnosed Bipolar II Disorder, as she hid deep depression that even her doctors skimmed past in disbelief. Serendipitous encounters with Black intellectuals like Henry Louis Gates Jr., Angela Davis, and Renita Weems were countered by long nights of stark loneliness. Only as Coleman began to face her illness was she able to live honestly and faithfully in the world. And in the process, she discovered a new and liberating vision of God. Written in crackling prose, Monica's spiritual autobiography examines her long dance with trauma, depression, and the threat of death in light of the legacies of slavery, war, sharecropping, poverty, and alcoholism that masked her family history of mental illness for generations.

Download or read book In the Land of Silence written by Jesus Urzagasti and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 1995-07-01 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This masterful translation of a recent Bolivian novel, En el pais del silencio, transports us to a mysterious, silent, and unfamiliar land where astonishing truths are placed within our grasp. Like a parabola, this amazing story begins and ends in the same place on the same day in the life of a single persona with three interior entities: Jursafú, The Other, and The Dead Man. By portraying them as separate, Urzagasti accentuates their interrelatedness, for one character cannot grow without the others, nor can any one of them move toward an ultimate goal without the experience and knowledge of the other two. The author’s mature and thoroughly Bolivian style is marked by a synthesis of poetic and novelistic techniques which blend perfectly the indigenous and European voices of his ancestral home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SUNGATE REBELLION Why had so many elected presidents of Peru and Bolivia been overthrown by military coups? Stokes Randolph thinks he knows and believes he knows how to prevent it from happening again. Since the explosion that killed the top drug dealers in Peru, whom he had gathered together at a party expecting the government to arrest them, Randolph has been living quietly in Chile under an assumed name. Meanwhile, an ambitious general has seized control of the government of Peru, and the general who declared himself president of Bolivia has become another drug-dealing tyrant. Watching those old problems arise yet again, and disappointed by the random operations of a Peruvian guerrilla movement led by the charismatic failed priest who calls himself Camilo II, who happens to be his brother-in-law, Randolph has become impatient with his forced retirement from the world of affairs. When the gravely wounded Camilo II is delivered secretly to his Chilean hacienda, Randolph sees an opportunity to correct the mistakes of past revolutionary movements and finish the job begun in Peru to destroy the drug trade. With his old CIA friends Ray Hutchinson and Clothilde Brennan, Randolph and Camilo II devise a plan to create the right rebellion, one that will lead to the second coming of Tawantinsuyu, the pre-Columbian Kingdom of the Sun. Sungate Rebellion is the sequel to Russell Markss previous novel, Nematodes, available from Xlibris, Amazon.com, and Barnes and Noble.
