Download or read book The Collected Works Volume One written by Malcolm Lowry and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 1616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A quartet of the British novelist’s finest works of fiction, including “Lowry’s masterpiece,” Under the Volcano (Los Angeles Times). Malcolm Lowry was an author who poured his soul into his prose, including his struggle with his own demons. Of his most famous work, Under the Volcano, Dawn Powell wrote: “You love the author for the pain of his overwhelming understanding.” In the New YorkHerald Tribune, Mark Schorer commented that few novels “convey so feelingly the agony of alienation, the infernal suffering of disintegration.” D. T. Max wrote in the New Yorker: “[Lowry’s] portrait of an unravelling drunk was unnervingly intimate.” Honored by the Modern Library as one of the one hundred best English language novels of the twentieth century, Under the Volcano is widely acknowledged as “Lowry’s masterpiece” (Los Angeles Times). In this novel and the other works of fiction gathered here, the reader follows Lowry as he confronts the abyss, but also shares in his eternal hope for transcendence. Ultramarine: Lowry’s debut novel, and the only book, other than Under the Volcano, published in his lifetime, is the coming-of-age story of Dana Hilliot, who escapes the bourgeois provincialism of his upper-class British upbringing by joining a crew of weathered, world-weary sailors on a freighter bound for South Asia. Part Moby-Dick, part A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ultramarin draws on Lowry’s own early experience on the sea. Hear Us O Lord from Heaven Thy Dwelling Place: Published posthumously, these seven stories and novellas include “Through the Panama,” in which a burned-out, alcoholic writer on a voyage from Vancouver to Europe tries to make sense of the literature that has kept him afloat, while the pulse of his life grows harder to distinguish, and “The Forest Path to Spring,” about a couple that has been through hell finding new life in the beauty and seclusion of a vast forest. “[These] stories and novellas afford glimpses of the whole toward which Lowry was striving.” —The New York Times Under the Volcano: Former British consul Geoffrey Firmin lives alone with his demons in the shadow of two active volcanoes in South Central Mexico. Drowning in alcoholism, Geoffrey makes one last effort to salvage his crumbling life when his estranged wife, Yvonne, arrives in town on the Day of the Dead, 1938. “One of the towering novels of [the twentieth] century.” —The New York Times October Ferry to Gabriola: Edited by Lowry’s widow and frequent collaborator, and released more than a decade after his untimely death, October Ferry to Gabriola is the story of a married couple striving for renewal, sanity, and transcendence in the deep seclusion of the British Columbian forest. “What awaits [the reader] is worth the effort: a species of ecstatic, lyrical prose that has all but gone out of existence.” —The New York Times

Download or read book It Shined written by Michael Supe Granda and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the turbulent 60's began to fade into the calmer 70's, a coterie of young singers, songwriters, musicians, artists, and poets began to congregate, musically on the stage of The New Bijou Theater - the Springfield, Missouri nightclub that would become the loose-knit group's home. What started as an informal weekly gathering, quickly morphed into a formal band. Dubbed the Family Tree, they became a favorite of the local counter-culture, as well as a continuation of the tradition-rich, Springfield music scene - which, until recently, included the Ozark Jubilee (the nation's first televised country music show). Though unprofitable at the time, they stuck to their guns and their original songs. When a rough tape of an early Bijou gig caught the ear of music mogul, John Hammond, it culminated in a 26-song studio demo, which caught the ear of A&M executive, David Anderle. The group signed with the label, changed their name to its present moniker, and whisked off to London to record their debut album under the tutelage of Glyn Johns. The album contained "If You Want to Get to Heaven". Their subsequent album, recorded in rural Missouri, contained "Jackie Blue". Both songs remain staples on 'classic rock' radio. By the early 80's, the Ozark Mountain Daredevils found themselves right where the Family Tree had stood a decade before - in Springfield with no record deal. They did, though, find themselves with legions of loyal fans around the world. Amidst personnel changes, personal turmoils and a cornucopia of tales from the rock-n-roll highway, the next twenty years were spent 'on the road'. Though continuing to write, they could garner little interest among the rapidly modernizing music industry - a situation many long-haired, long-named hippie bands of the 70's find themselves in. Their music, though, lives in the hearts of their fans.

Download or read book Ring in a River written by Eckhard Gerdes and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-04 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Ring in a River,the new novel by Eckhard Gerdes, one of America's most innovative novelists, Gerdes further pries “the novel” away from its subservience to 19th century literary conventions and enthusiastically flings it into the realities of modern life. When Eckhard Gerdes's Truly Fine Citizen was published in 1989, the innovative British novelist Michael Moorcock said it was "the work of a writer clearly impatient with the currently devalued conventions of modern fiction. The book is a fresh wind. I congratulate Mr. Gerdes on raising this particular storm!" With Ring in a River, the storm continues unabated. Eckhard Gerdes takes the reader into the world of Austin, Texas, circa April 1962, and transplants a newly disenfranchised Iowa philosophy professor into a life of jazz, ornithology, madness, and self-redefinition in that inimitable way which we have come to expect of this great writer.

Download or read book Letter s from Tomas written by Amaranth J Warren and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connected throughout time and space were a man and a woman. Although they had yet to meet, there was a knowing deep in their souls of a love they shared. Do you have a longing that you can’t quite put your finger on? Does the twin flame phenomena stir something inside you? It took me well into adulthood to finally find the courage to peer into the realms of my soul where the Pleiadian elders held my hand, connecting me with Tomas within the twin flame phenomenon. What does a person do when they are shown a wormhole to a different dimension by entities that have time traveled down to a mere thought wave? Letters were shared by my intangible mate and not one in pen. My beloved Tomas and the Pleiadians led me on a journey to my destiny. Only the wildlife that shared the woodlands, where the little stone cabin rested, were to bear witness of the esoteric events that unfolded that summer, where the river runs north. Telepathic energies allowed me to learn much from the previous unfamiliar realms of my mind, validated by the Pleiadians who in turn shared timeless and insightful lessons for anyone to read and follow—thirty in all. The Pleiadians, my teachers, my guides, and my friends influenced the principles in this book, with their wisdom to share with those seeking to raise the vibrations of the planet with the twin flame unions. Through my personal mission, I learned the intricate details of the power of thought and how the simplicity of the little things we take for granted are in fact the big things, linking us telepathically to our collective subconscious. Past, present, and future come full circle when we look inside the origins of our soul.
