Download or read book The Mamma Nero Diaries written by A D Hyde and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-05-26 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mamma Nero Diaries is a son's tribute to his mother, and her unsung journey from war-torn and poverty-stricken Italy to the cobbled streets of Manchester. The Diaries are full of humorous stories, as seen through a son's eyes. They describe a life of great hardship and sacrifice, but also of courage, principles, humour and hope... a hope that tomorrow would be better. Anthony's mother taught him so many things. She taught him that if a pigeon with a ring around its ankle lands in your backyard it means God wants you to make a pie tonight. She taught him that if people come to visit, you should feed them - even if it means you go hungry the next day... and when they leave, you give them any remaining food you have and some of your plates and cups as a parting gift. She taught him that the best way to end an argument was to smash all the plates and cups that were left over from the last lot of people who came to visit... She also taught him to buy cheap crockery.
Download or read book The Leukaemia Diaries written by A.D. Hyde and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2020-02-19 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Leukaemia diaries started life as just that, a diary detailing my journey from just before being diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML), to the scary ‘I’m going to die’ bit, to the joys of chemotherapy, getting back to work and beyond. However, with every edit and every conversation with a fellow sufferer it transformed into what it is now, which is an emotional, honest and heartfelt account that not only aims to engage, entertain and inform, but also comfort and inspire. It will give family and friends an idea of what their loved ones are going through and what’s going through their mind at such a traumatic and terrifying time. My hope is that sufferers of CML and cancer in general see that they are not as desperately alone as they sometimes think they are and that there are others going through the same experiences and thinking the same thoughts. I want them to know that there is no right or wrong way to act or behave, because we all deal with the possibility of death in our own unique way. My hope is that my little book can inspire and lift them out of a dark place, because I’ve always believed that a smile can bring light into the darkest of times and that laughter can heal.

Download or read book Mary Astor s Purple Diary The Great American Sex Scandal of 1936 written by Edward Sorel and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hilarious send-up of sex, scandal, and the Golden Age of Hollywood by legendary cartoonist Edward Sorel. In 1965, a young, up-and-coming illustrator by the name of Edward Sorel tore away layer after layer of linoleum from the floor of his $97-a-month Manhattan apartment until he discovered a hidden treasure: issues of the New York Daily News and Daily Mirror from 1936, each ablaze with a scandalous child custody trial taking place in Hollywood starring the actress Mary Astor—and the journal in which she detailed her numerous affairs. Thus began a half-century obsession that reached its peak in Mary Astor’s Purple Diary, “a thoroughly charming” (New York Times Book Review, front-page review) account of the scandal in which Sorel narrates and illustrates the travails of the Oscar-winning actress alongside his own personal story of discovering an unlikely muse. Now in a stunning paperback, featuring more than sixty ribald and rapturous original illustrations, Mary Astor’s Purple Diary is the life’s masterpiece of one of America’s greatest illustrators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Klee was endowed with a rich and many-sided personality that was continually spilling over into forms of expression other than his painting and that made him one of the most extraordinary phenomena of modern European art. These abilities have left their record in the four intimate Diaries in which he faithfully recorded the events of his inner and outer life from his nineteenth to his fortieth year. Here, together with recollections of his childhood in Bern, his relations with his family and such friends as Kandinsky, Marc, Macke, and many others, his observations on nature and people, his trips to Italy and Tunisia, and his military service, the reader will find Klee's crucial experience with literature and music, as well as many of his essential ideas about his own artistic technique and the creative process.
