Download or read book Images From A Broken Mirror written by Tony Alum and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tony Alum's Images from a Broken Mirror is a factional account of the fractious, violent, vicious circle in which African immigrants are trapped in Europe. Set in France and Italy, the story dwells on the trafficking of Nigerian women to Italy. Using the persona, Efe, a trafficked Nigerian girl, the author explores the pressures that come together to propel the men and women, young and old, from Africa to Europe. Efe goes through the tedious and dangerous life of an immigrant commercial sex worker in Italy. She falls in love with Carlo, her first client. Carlo proposes marriage to Efe who accepts and becomes pregnant. However, Efe takes a decision, in a moment of frustration, that will change her destiny, that of Carlo and the unborn child. Tony Alum has used this novel in a dialectical manner to x-ray the multifarious conflicts that dovetail to make life for the African immigrant in Italy a nightmare. Like most works of fiction, the author has reflected aspects of his experiences in Italy. The evidences of this closeness abound.

Download or read book Hardcore Zen written by Brad Warner and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-12 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zen, plain and simple, with no BS. This is not your typical Zen book. Brad Warner, a young punk who grew up to be a Zen master, spares no one. This bold new approach to the "Why?" of Zen Buddhism is as strongly grounded in the tradition of Zen as it is utterly revolutionary. Warner's voice is hilarious, and he calls on the wisdom of everyone from punk and pop culture icons to the Buddha himself to make sure his points come through loud and clear. As it prods readers to question everything, Hardcore Zen is both an approach and a departure, leaving behind the soft and lyrical for the gritty and stark perspective of a new generation. This new edition will feature an afterword from the author.

Download or read book Tourniquet written by John Vanderhoef and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-05-08 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your father's murdered in his office, a girl has been kidnapped, her voice box removed, drowning every time you're forced to complete another job for her psychotic abductors, or she's starving, her soulless captors refusing to feed her, she's shivering in a freezer somewhere, left to congeal, or she's burning in a tin box, under the sun, boiling like a skinned chicken, trapped and waiting, always waiting. Her life is perpetually at stake. She's incentive; she's a reason to obey. She's not even human anymore. She's a breathing obligation. She's your best friend's sister and you think you love her, but you don't understand the word love, because all you can feel, all you can sense, is antipathy lingering around your lifeless, yet animated cadaver, a slave to misanthropists, a confused fragile frame, caught between conflicting philosophies of freedom and despair. She's lost her liberty, you've lost your mind, and her brother, your best friend, has lost his ability to rationalize. Tourniquet, a morbid love story of freewill, responsibility, suffering, and anguish, a world where nothing matters, a world where everything is at stake, a hopeless, desolate world where everybody's missing something, and human tenderness festers on the crushed wings of houseflies.

Download or read book The Second Verse written by Onke Mazibuko and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second verse of any song always has to be more killer than the first. Always. The rhythm has to slap. The lyrics must be on point. The feeling intense. And the impact mad definitive. It’s just the way it is. In the same way, if you do well once in life, then you always have to be better from that point onwards. No doubt. East London, aka Slummies, circa 1998. Bokang Damane is a dreamer and an outsider with mad problems. Things only get worse when everyone thinks he wants to off himself just because he wrote an essay on suicide. Really? Talk about d.r.a.m.a. Life at the moment is just a sorry son-of-a-checklist of insolvable problems. Problem #1: Not black enough for the black kids and too black for the white kids. Yep, that’s what happens when you attend a mad pompous all boys’ college and live in the burbs. Problem #2: Family finances are a joke – they can’t even afford Bokang’s initiation. Now he can’t get props like any decent Xhosa man. Problem #3: An alcoholic, gambling attorney for a father who expects the world to bend to his will. What’s a man gotta do? Apart from freaking the hell out? Bokang just wants to rap, sketch and be left alone. Everyone keeps yacking on about Bokang reaching his true potential but everyone keeps getting in the way. So what happens? Boy meets girl. It wouldn’t be much of a story otherwise.
