Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the 2013 East Midlands Book AwardEntertaining Strangers is a tragi-comedy about the eccentric Edwin Prince – a depressive intellectual obsessed with high culture and ants – and the mysterious, homeless narrator Jules, who gradually unravels Edwin’s impossible relationships with his landlady, neurotic mother, psychotic brother, domineering ex-wife, dead grandfather and, above all, his ant-farm. At the same time, Jules continually experiences traumatic memories full of fire and water, and gradually a terrible pre-history emerges from beneath all of the other stories, which seems somehow to shape both Jules’s fiery dreams and Edwin’s obsessions – a great fire, massacre and one girl's drowning in Smyrna, 75 years earlier.
Download or read book Never Talk to Strangers written by Irma Joyce and published by Golden Books. This book was released on 2009-01-13 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are hanging from a trapeze And up sneaks a camel with bony knees, Remember this rule, if you please— Never talk to strangers. This book brilliantly highlights situations that children will find themselves in—whether they’re at home and the doorbell rings, or playing in the park, or mailing a letter on their street—and tells them what to do if a stranger (always portrayed as a large animal, such as a rhino) approaches. Colorful, ’60s-style “psychedelic” artwork and witty, lively rhyme clearly spell out a message about safety that empowers kids, and that has never been more relevant. Irma Joyce wrote many Golden Books during the 1960s. George Buckett was a popular children’s book illustrator during the 1960s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City. To the Green-eyed Lovebird: We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House. You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more. We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other. Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding… I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello. After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half? M

Download or read book The Stranger s Welcome written by Steve Reece and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 1992-12-31 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than two millennia, Homer's poetry has stirred the imagination of its readers. Originally recited by traveling bards, these poems are exceptionally rich in conventional elements that helped the poets remember works thousands of lines long. As dynamic ingredients of oral poetry, these elements have accrued deep meaning, and for a well-informed audience they call significant associations to mind. In The Stranger's Welcome, Steve Reece treats eighteen "hospitality" scenes in the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Homeric Hymns and reveals key aspects and standard elements of such scenes. Further, he demonstrates how Homeric listeners might comprehend the new and innovative by relying on their knowledge of the conventional and familiar. This tension between conventional and innovative, between the traditional background and the individual performance, distinguishes the aesthetics of Homeric poetry. Of interest to students and scholars of oral poetry, folklore, Homeric literature, and Greek literature in general, The Stranger's Welcome offers a practical approach whereby a reading audience may understand a hearing one.

Download or read book Strangers at Our Gates written by Valerie Knowles and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2016-03-05 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new and revised edition, Knowles explores new materials relating to multiculturalism and immigration. Immigrants and immigration have always been central to Canadians’ perception of themselves as a country and a society. In this crisply written history, Valerie Knowles describes the different kinds of immigrants who have settled in Canada, and the immigration policies that have helped define the character of Canadian immigrants over the centuries. Key policymakers and shapers of public opinion figure prominently in this colourful story, as does the role played by racism. This new and revised edition features a chapter on the Conservative government’s handling of immigration between 2006 and 2014. Special attention is paid to the role played by the activist minister Jason Kenney and his attempts to develop a faster, more flexible immigration regime. The Temporary Foreign Worker Program and the Interim Federal Health Program are also discussed. The book’s final chapter, “Issues in the Twenty-First Century,” introduces new material relating to multiculturalism and outlines arguments supporting population growth, increased immigration, and decreased immigration.

Download or read book Dreams Faith and Stranger Things written by Robert McCullar and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-12-29 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dreams, Faith, and Stranger Things is actually a conglomerate of four short books. The first short book is Dreams, Faith, and Stranger Things. "Dreams" were dreams that while I was asleep came true as soon as I woke up. "Faith" is about my spiritual experiences with God, accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, repenting from my sins (which were many), being water baptized, and being baptized by the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues as well as having two encounters with angels. "Stanger Things" are the very evil malevolent events in my life (Ephesians 6:10-18). The second short book is John Said, "I Don't Have to Go to Church to Worship God!" Jane Said, "I Do Have to Go to Church to Worship God!" John keeps producing different excuses not to go to church. Jane produces many reasons to attend church. Finally, Jane hands everything over to God through the power of prayer and sets the correct example by attending church regularly (Joshua 24:15). The third short book is The Doctrine of the Trinity. Many, Christians today don't understand who their God really is! Do we have one God, or do we have three separate Gods? The Trinity is defined as "one God in three Persons." This third book was written so that you will truly understand the truth about the Trinity (Matthew 3:13-17; 28:18-20; John 14:26). The fourth short book is Crowns. From tyrants throughout history to King Saul and King David, from Stephen, the first Christian martyr after the crucifixion of Christ, to the five heavenly crowns, from the crown of thorns to all crowns being laid down before the throne of Almighty God (Revelation 4:3-5, 9-11).
