Download or read book Adventures of a Common Man written by Tory Anderson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-07-11 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rodney Anderson was a common man, but for a common man he lived an adventurous life. His adventures started during the depression in the irrigation canals of Southern Idaho. For nine years his adventures sent him down the "River of No Return" as a guide for the Boy Scouts of America. He found himself working with dynamite and helicopters to build trails and bridges in some of the remotest mountain regions of the United States. His adventures left him stranded in Alaska above the Arctic Circle and living on remote islands in the South Pacific. Through all these adventures he had time to raise five children, invent a paper cooking pot, and learn to tie doggy bows. If you consider yourself a common man or woman, reading about the life of Rodney Anderson will make you see your own life differently.

Download or read book The Common Man written by Maurice Manning and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2010-04-09 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Common Man, Maurice Manning’s fourth collection, is a series of ballad-like narratives, set down in loose, unrhymed iambic tetrameter, that honors the strange beauty of the Kentucky mountain country he knew as a child, as well as the idiosyncratic adventures and personalities of the oldtimers who were his neighbors, friends, and family. Playing off the book’s title, Manning demonstrates that no one is common or simple. Instead, he creates a detailed, complex, and poignant portrait—by turns serious and hilarious, philosophical and speculative, but ultimately tragic—of a fast-disappearing aspect of American culture. The Common Man’s accessibility and its enthusiastic and sincere charms make it the perfect antidote to the glib ironies that characterize much contemporary American verse. It will also help to strengthen Manning’s reputation as one of his generation’s most important and original voices.

Slowly he starts to lose touch with reality and begins to believe that he is one of these fiction heroes. He finds some old armor and prepares an old horse. He calls himself Don Quixote and persuades his neighbor, Sancho Panza, to be his squire by promising him riches, fame and the governorship of an island. Together, they get away and their famous adventures begin. Don Quixote takes a small inn for a castle, and he believes large windmills to be giants and thus attacks. He attacks a flock of sheep, believing it to be an army, finds a barber basin which he believes to be a helmet…. This book is rewritten from “Don Quixote of La Mancha” by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra.
