Download or read book The Bucket and The Deep Blue Sea written by Bradler Smith and published by Bradler Smith. This book was released on with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a contemporary fantasy tale about three good friends and their desire to do something extraordinary. Sprig, the dormouse and her best friend, Whisker - or Whisk - the rat, team up with the self-important jackdaw, Scram, to embark on a perilous adventure: they will turn an old bucket into a sailing boat, navigate the river Whip and sail the sea ... in a bucket-boat! I got the idea to write this book due to my little boy, Brad. In lockdown I took him to have an operation to have his tonsils and adenoids removed; this resulted in him being given a mixture of fentanyl and morphine. The knock-on effect of this, was some peculiar strangeness - primarily an unprompted song about something to do with going to sea on a bucket ... He sang this song (for reasons unknown, even to him) over the next couple of days, repeatedly. It got to the point that I could only reasonably assume that the operation had turned him into a permanent oddball, stuck in an endless loop, forever parroting this ridiculous - but admittedly catchy, nonsensical song - for the rest of his days. Fortunately, he somehow shook off this curse and went somewhat back to normal. The song was stuck in my head though; this is what gave me the idea to write this little story, about some small creatures who go to sea on a bucket ... :) Thanks Brad (Aged 4), for your excellent front cover illustration! :)

Download or read book A Certain Age written by Rudolf Mrázek and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-16 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Certain Age is an unconventional, evocative work of history and a moving reflection on memory, modernity, space, time, and the limitations of traditional historical narratives. Rudolf Mrázek visited Indonesia throughout the 1990s, recording lengthy interviews with elderly intellectuals in and around Jakarta. With few exceptions, they were part of an urban elite born under colonial rule and educated at Dutch schools. From the early twentieth century, through the late colonial era, the national revolution, and well into independence after 1945, these intellectuals injected their ideas of modernity, progress, and freedom into local and national discussion. When Mrázek began his interviews, he expected to discuss phenomena such as the transition from colonialism to postcolonialism. His interviewees, however, wanted to share more personal recollections. Mrázek illuminates their stories of the past with evocative depictions of their late-twentieth-century surroundings. He brings to bear insights from thinkers including Walter Benjamin, Bertold Brecht, Le Corbusier, and Marcel Proust, and from his youth in Prague, another metropolis with its own experience of passages and revolution. Architectural and spatial tropes organize the book. Thresholds, windowsills, and sidewalks come to seem more apt as descriptors of historical transitions than colonial and postcolonial, or modern and postmodern. Asphalt roads, homes, classrooms, fences, and windows organize movement, perceptions, and selves in relation to others. A Certain Age is a portal into questions about how the past informs the present and how historical accounts are inevitably partial and incomplete.

Download or read book The Spirit of Freedom written by Charles Villa-Vicencio and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1996-10-08 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of interviews explores the role of religion in the lives of eminent South Africans who led the struggle against apartheid. Nelson Mandela, Chris Hani, Desmond Tutu, Nadine Gordimer, and seventeen other political, religious, and cultural leaders share the beliefs and values that informed the moral positions they adopted, often at great cost. From all ethnic, religious, and political backgrounds, these men and women have shaped one of the greatest political transformations of the century. What emerges from the interviews are reflections on all aspects of life in an embattled country. There are stories of the homelands and townships, and tales of imprisonment and exile. Dedicated communists relate their intense youthful devotion to Christianity; Muslim activists discuss the complexity of their relationships with their communities. As the respondents grapple with difficult questions about faith, politics, and authority, they expose a more personal picture: of their daily lives, of their pasts, and of the enormous conflicts that arise in a society that continually strains the moral fiber of its citizens. Taken together, these interviews reveal the many-faceted vision that has fueled South Africa's struggle for democracy.

Download or read book The History of Gambling in England written by John Ashton and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1898 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Difference between Gaming and Gambling-Universality and Antiquity of Gambling-Isis and Osiris-Games and Dice of the Egyptians-China and India-The Jews-Among the Greeks and Romans-Among Mahometans-Early Dicing-Dicing in England in the 13th and 14th Centuries-In the 17th Century-Celebrated Gamblers-Bourchier-Swiss Anecdote-Dicing in the 18th Century. Gaming is derived from the Saxon word Gamen, meaning joy, pleasure, sports, or gaming-and is so interpreted by Bailey, in his Dictionary of 1736; whilst Johnson gives Gamble-to play extravagantly for money, and this distinction is to be borne in mind in the perusal of this book; although the older term was in use until the invention of the later-as we see in Cotton's Compleat Gamester (1674), in which he gives the following excellent definition of the word: -"Gaming is an enchanting witchery, gotten between Idleness and Avarice: an itching disease, that makes some scratch the head, whilst others, as if they were bitten by a Tarantula, are laughing themselves to death; or, lastly, it is a paralytical distemper, which, seizing the arm, the man cannot chuse but shake his elbow.
