Book excerpt: Emily Fairfield sails to California in 1850 expecting her lawyer-turned-gold miner husband to meet her for a second honeymoon in San Francisco. Instead, she finds herself amidst a wild and lawless culture dominated by gold-fever. Feeling abandoned, Emily is nonetheless determined to find her husband. But when she is met by an old man on the waterfront, her determination turns to cold fear when he says that El Rio de las Calveras, where she may find her husband, translates to the River of Skulls. "A wonderful story of a brave, adventurous woman, her family, and events in the period which spans 1850 to 1906. The author vividly portrays the events and gorgeous scenery of the foothills in which she lives."---C.

Careful research on the part of the author is reflected in the story's period setting and dialogue, fulfilling the reader's desire for authenticity. The life of a gutsy woman and her family makes this a page turner, right up to the end!" --M. J. Post, Portland, OR "I thought River of Skulls was a marvelous first novel for the author...a true delight to read." --Dori Hamilton, Beaverton

Download or read book Harvest of Skulls written by Abdourahman A. Waberi and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-20 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1994, the akazu, Rwandan's political elite, planned the genocidal mass slaughter of 500,000 to 1,000,000 Tutsi and Hutu who lived in the country. Given the failure of the international community to acknowledge the genocide, in 1998, ten African authors visited Rwanda in a writing initiative that was an attempt to make partial amends. In this multidimensional novel, Abdourahman A. Waberi claims, "Language remains inadequate in accounting for the world and all its turpitudes, words can never be more than unstable crutches, staggering along . . . And yet, if we want to hold on to a glimmer of hope in the world, the only miraculous weapons we have at our disposal are these same clumsy supports." Shaped by the author's own experiences in Rwanda and by the stories shared by survivors, Harvest of Skulls stands twenty years after the genocide as an indisputable resource for discussions on testimony and witnessing, the complex relationship between victims and perpetrators, the power of the moral imagination, and how survivors can rebuild a society haunted by the ghost of its history.

This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A sweeping epic.… Promises to do for the war in the Pacific what Rick Atkinson did for Europe.” —James M. Scott, author of Rampage In 1937, the swath of the globe east from India to the Pacific Ocean encompassed half the world’s population. Japan’s onslaught into China that year unleashed a tidal wave of events that fundamentally transformed this region and killed about twenty-five million people. This extraordinary World War II narrative vividly portrays the battles across this entire region and links those struggles on many levels with their profound twenty-first-century legacies. In this first volume of a trilogy, award-winning historian Richard B. Frank draws on rich archival research and recently discovered documentary evidence to tell an epic story that gave birth to the world we live in now.
