Download or read book The Pebbled Beach at Pentecost written by Andrew Lemon and published by Australian Scholarly Publishing. This book was released on 2022-04-17 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vernon Lee Walker, a young Englishman from industrial Wolverhampton, meets his death on a beach on Pentecost Island in the South Pacific on the eve of Christmas 1887. Why did Vernon die, in what circumstances, and who was responsible? Was he, as once branded, simply a 'bad colonist'? Or was he a Candide, an innocent abroad, mixing invisibly with the rich and famous, manipulated by a calculating brother, unable to change the world around him? An historian finds Vernon's letters home to England, spanning a dozen years. With decreasing frequency, these follow his trajectory, first in Melbourne and Sydney, then as he yields to the spell of the Pacific. But what happens between the lines? Does he fall in love with his brother's wife? What does a boy not tell his mother? The novelist steps in. This is a unique fusion of authentic history and informed invention - a tragic story of colonialism in Australia and the Pacific, told with compassion, humor and a deep understanding of time and place.

Book excerpt: Pentecost Island...where romance entices and secrets unfold. Pentecost Island series : Books 4-6 in a boxed set From best selling author, Annie Seaton, three beautiful stories of female friendships, and the unbreakable bond that sees friends stay together through the ups and downs of life. TAMSIN Tamsin Jones has invested a lot of time and energy catering at the new eco-resort developed by her friend, Pippa, on Pentecost Island. The dynamics of the work team—and their lifelong friendship has changed with the return of Eliza Pengelly and Phillipe. Tensions are running high and the official opening is imminent, so Tamsin takes a few days off and meets sexy Gabe Brown. But despite succumbing to his charm, Tamsin knows that Gabe is holding a secret. She is determined to discover why he is so interested in her. Gabe has a task to fulfil, but Tamsin is not what he expected; the closer he gets to completing the task he has been entrusted with, the more he falls for her. It should be easy to ignore this woman and complete the task he’s been set . . . but Gabe has never been so attracted to a woman before. When he loses Tamsin’s trust, can Gabe redeem himself and save his heart in the process? EVIE Evie sailed into life at Pentecost Island excited to have a place to belong after ten years of living alone on her boat. She uses her skills to landscape Ma Carmichael’s Resort and cements her friendship with the girls on the island. When Jed Stephenson, her brother’s best friend— who also happens to be her ex-husband— turns up on Pentecost island to convince Evie it is time to go back home to her family, she is faced with a choice that may mean the difference between life and death for someone she once loved. Can Jed break though the defences of the woman he has never stopped loving?

Download or read book Gravity s Rainbow Domination and Freedom written by Luc Herman and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When published in 1973, Gravity’s Rainbow expanded our sense of what the novel could be. Pynchon’s extensive references to modern science, history, and culture challenged any reader, while his prose bent the rules for narrative art and his satirical practices taunted U.S. obscenity and pornography statutes. His writing thus enacts freedom even as the book’s great theme is domination: humanity’s diminished “chances for freedom” in a global military-industrial system birthed and set on its feet in World War II. Its symbol: the V-2 rocket. “Gravity’s Rainbow,” Domination, and Freedom broadly situates Pynchon’s novel in “long sixties” history, revealing a fiction deeply of and about its time. Herman and Weisenburger put the novel’s abiding questions about freedom in context with sixties struggles against war, restricted speech rights, ethno-racial oppression, environmental degradation, and subtle new means of social and psychological control. They show the text’s close indebtedness to critiques of domination by key postwar thinkers such as Erich Fromm, Herbert Marcuse, and Hannah Arendt. They detail equally powerful ways that sixties countercultural practices—free-speech resistance played out in courts, campuses, city streets, and raucously satirical underground presswork—provide a clearer bearing on Pynchon’s own satirical practices and their implicit criticisms. If the System has jacketed humanity in a total domination, may not a solitary individual still assert freedom? Or has the System captured all—even supposedly immune elites—in an irremediable dominion? Reading Pynchon’s main characters and storylines, this study realizes a darker Gravity’s Rainbow than critics have been willing to see.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pentecost Lebanon, Lebanon! Queen of the mountains! Crowned with thy cedars and clear, sparkling fountains; Now is the time when thy leaf buds are showing, Now is the time when thy spring breeze is blowing, Now the song of the turtle the valley is cheering, And the full, ruddy buds on the vines are appearing. All over the land of Jehovah's electing, The ripe spring of the Orient her work is perfecting. In the morning, what tintings of purple between The breaking grey mists of the day dawn, are seen. How early the shepherd is leading his flocks, Where the stream gurgles down from the deep rifted rocks. The peasant goes forth with a song to his toil, And in simple faith trusteth the seed to the soil. The country is still in Judea the blest, But is their famed beautiful city at rest? No, no; the Great Prophecy glooms o'er the land. The times of the Gentiles - their triumph at hand - About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
