Download or read book SCRABBLE WITH SLIVOVITZ Once upon a time in Yugoslavia written by Adam YAMEY and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-08-05 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adam Yamey visited Yugoslavia frequently over a period of more than 20 years. He criss-crossed the country from north to south and east to west. During his travels, he stood in the footsteps of Archduke Ferdinand's assassin in Sarajevo and those of Emperor Diocletian in Split, ate Chinese food in Novi Sad and offal at Rtanj, and also played Scrabble with Yugoslavs all over Serbia. In this profusely illustrated, trail of memories, the author describes the friendships that he made with Yugoslavs all over the country, and how these led to his deeper understanding of, and love for their country. As the years passed, the author began noticing small things, which made little sense at the time, but later turned out to be portentous. These were early signs of the troubles that were to lead to the disintegration of Yugoslavia soon after the author's last visit to the country in 1990. Join the author in the exploration of a country that no longer exists.

Book excerpt: The focal point of the novel is the small town of Soutbek. Its troubles, hardships and corruption, but also its kindness, strong community and friendships, are introduced to us in a series of stories about intriguingly interlinked relationships. Contemporary Soutbek is still a divided town - the upper town destitute, and the lower town rich, largely ignorant - and Finding Soutbek is a novel about the real conditions that shape the lives of ordinary, marginalised people. Karen Jennings's focus on the quiet but necessary heroism of the poor and disadvantaged makes her work universal.

Download or read book Endgame written by Frank Brady and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Endgame is acclaimed biographer Frank Brady's decades-in-the-making tracing of the meteoric ascent-and confounding descent-of enigmatic genius Bobby Fischer.

Drawing from Fischer family archives, recently released FBI files, and Bobby's own emails, this account is unique in that it limns Fischer's entire life-an odyssey that took the Brooklyn-raised chess champion from an impoverished childhood to the covers of Time, Life and Newsweek to recognition as 'the most famous man in the world' to notorious recluse.
