Download or read book The Fortune Seekers written by Glennis Browne and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-11-30 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Browne explores through her intriguing story set in late 1800s how English society was constructed under the Darwinian theory of 'survival of the fittest' which placed men higher on the evolutionary ladder. 'Man's power is active, progressive, defensive. He is eminently the doer, the creator, the discoverer, the defender. His intellect is for speculation, and invention; his energy for adventure, for war, and for conquest... The woman's power is for rule, not for battle - and her intellect is not for invention or creation, but for sweet ordering, arrangement, and decision... She must be enduringly, incorruptibly good; instinctively, infallibly wise-wise, not for self-development, but for self-renunciation: Wise, not that she may set herself above her husband, but that she many never fail from his side.' (Direct quote - John Ruskin, Sesame and Lilies, 1865, part II) But is she permitted to rule? Can women over turn the power struggle when they leave England and settle in the Australian colonies? Follow the fascinating lives of two families as they face challenges in their efforts to love, honour and obey their husbands at a time when women began the fight for equality. You might be reminded of your own Achilles heel in the process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Browne chronicles historical theories in her moving story – ‘The Fortune Seekers - Dan and Charlotte’ in this revised edition, by answering questions the 21st century reader may never imagine asking. Dan finds himself in a precarious situation high upon a cliff ledge with no idea how he got there. • ‘To be free, all you need to do is step off the ledge towards me.’ Charlotte predicts shame and disgrace as her destiny, after indulging in a love relationship fraught with problems. • ‘On hindsight, some of the things that I share, I regret. But, once begun there was no going back.’ The struggles are real, resulting in life changing decisions. Dan and Charlotte’s compelling story portrays anger, disappointment, hope, forgiveness, love, loss, grief and decisiveness. • Will their problems be solved if they join the thousands of emigrants as early pioneers in Australia? Author Glennis Browne’s riveting plot and well-drawn characters, delves into social and religious issues facing the population of Great Britain in the mid 1800’s. The second book of the moving series will be published soon Reviews John Nuyten - Australia • Browne enlightens us of the struggle to break out in a time of conformity. Questioning when questions were scarcely asked. Great Story. Tim Gurung (Author) HongKong • This book is not only a historical novel but also a history by itself and everyone who has roots from the British side must read it. I couldn’t help but feel like I was watching those old Western movies when people were moving around and living a life of gypsies. Rusty and Sharon Millar - Australia • Loved your story, Glennis! Love the characters and the historical background - loving to hate Charlotte’s cousin! It is a well researched story. Now We are looking forward to your next book Hilary and Brian Fallis - Australia • Just a quick email Glennis to tell you we enjoyed ‘The Fortune Seekers’ immensely, you clever girl you! I read it aloud to Brian everyday, chapter by chapter, and we both loved every minute. Amazing the struggles and hardships these courageous people worked through. I highly recommend this well written novel. Can’t wait to read the next of the series. A.G. - Germany • I have to admit, I shed a tear at one point...

Download or read book The Fortune Hunters written by Charlotte Hays and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2007-08-07 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Madame de Pompadour, the famed mistress of Louis XV, to Pamela Harriman, who married into the English aristocracy and the American plutocracy, there is a rich history of women who have found glamour and wealth in the arms of a billionaire. But contrary to what you may think, fortune hunting is no idle pursuit. Like diving for treasure, it’s a real job. Some women strive to be CEOs; others prefer to wed them. You'll meet today's dazzling successes in this book. What kind of woman does it take to make the Midas marriage? Exploring the lives of the great fortune hunters of our day, reporter and former gossip columnist Charlotte Hays answers this tantalizing question. You’ll learn about the South Carolina woman who took a trip around the world with a shadowy shipping magnate, only to meet and marry a philandering marquis. You’ll see what methods these women use to lure their powerful men, including one playful fortune seeker who, at a very high-society soirée, hurled a piece of bread at her intended beau, starting a food fight. You’ll meet the New York socialite who remarried so quickly after a divorce, her ex claimed she was a bigamist. What are their recipes for riches? Can a genuinely nice woman pursue this career? What does love have to do with it? With original interviews and photos, Hays casts a light on the determination, skill, and---yes, sometimes---ruthlessness that have shaped some of the most successful---and lucrative---unions of our time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this brilliantly evocative ethnography, Francio Guadeloupe probes the ethos and attitude created by radio disc jockeys on the binational Caribbean island of Saint Martin/Sint Maarten. Examining the intersection of Christianity, calypso, and capitalism, Guadeloupe shows how a multiethnic and multireligious island nation, where livelihoods depend on tourism, has managed to encourage all social classes to transcend their ethnic and religious differences. In his pathbreaking analysis, Guadeloupe credits the island DJs, whose formulations of Christian faith, musical creativity, and capitalist survival express ordinary people's hopes and fears and promote tolerance.
