Download or read book The American Beach La Spiaggia Americana written by Jon C. Watt and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-12-12 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Beach—La Spiaggia Americana—puts a human face to the pain and fears of victims of human trafficking and their loved ones. It looks at issues in identifying, investigating, and rescuing victims. The fact-based fictional background provides readers the ability to grasp and understand the reality of human trafficking, particularly sex trafficking, in a frank and simplified way. The story traces the development of Jerry, a United States Army detective, beginning with two quick stories set in southern Arizona before moving to Italy. Through great difficulty, Jerry comes to faith in Christ and deals with his own sins of the flesh as his Christian walk matures. Much research and many interviews with law enforcement and others involved in anti-human trafficking went into writing this book. Readers will have their hearts pricked and their eyes opened to the human suffering that is often hidden in plain sight, while being brushed over by modern media.
Download or read book From Rockaway written by Jill Eisenstadt and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2017-04-11 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timmy and Chowderhead and Peg are lifeguards. They spend summers sitting in those tall chairs, smoking dope and staring at the waves, swatting insects, tormenting seagulls. Winters they work shit jobs like unloading trucks at Mickey's Deli. At night, winter and summer, they drink. Drink and get rowdy. Then there's Alex, the girl who gets away, not only from old boyfriend Timmy but also from "Rotaway"-on scholarship to a rich-kid's college in New England. One midsummer night when the four are reunited, tensions erupt in feats of daring and self-destruction during the wild, cathartic, near-sacred lifeguard ritual known as the Death Keg. Brilliantly capturing the restlessness and casual nihilism of working-class youth with no options, Jill Eisenstadt's acclaimed first novel startles in its power and originality, its depth of feeling, its bright and dark comic turns.

Download or read book Selected Works of Cesare Pavese written by Cesare Pavese and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2001-10-31 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is only one pleasure, that of being alive. All the rest is misery," wrote Cesare Pavese, whose short, intense life spanned the ordeals of fascism and World War II to witness the beginnings of Italy's postwar prosperity. Searchingly alert to nuances of speech, feeling, and atmosphere, and remarkably varied, his novels offer a panoramic vision, at once sensual and finely considered, of a time of tumultuous change. This volume presents readers with Pavese's major works. The Beach is a wry summertime comedy of sexual and romantic misunderstandings, while The House on the Hill is an extraordinary novel of war in which a teacher flees through a countryside that is both beautiful and convulsed with terror. Among Women Only tells of a fashion designer who enters the affluent world she has always dreamed of, only to find herself caught up in an eerie dance of destruction, and The Devil in the Hills is an engaging road novel about three young men roaming the hills in high summer who stumble on mysteries of love and death.
