Book excerpt: 'Carmen won't last more than a couple of days.' Mason spat out a chunk of ice and surveyed the poor animal ruefully, then put her foot in his mouth and proceeded to bite out the ice which clustered cruelly between the toes. 'I never saw a dog with a highfalutin' name that ever was worth a rap, ' he said, as he concluded his task and shoved her aside. 'They just fade away and die under the responsibility. Did ye ever see one go wrong with a sensible name like Cassiar, Siwash, or Husky? No, sir! Take a look at Shookum here, he's-' Snap! The lean brute flashed up, the white teeth just missing Mason's throat. 'Ye will, will ye?' A shrewd clout behind the ear with the butt of the dog whip stretched the animal in the snow, quivering softly, a yellow slaver dripping from its fangs.

Book excerpt: On the battlefield, Wulfhere fights for his life but elsewhere the enemy is closer to home, sinister and shadowy and far more dangerous than any war. 1054, pious King Edward sits on the throne, spending his days hunting, sleeping and praying, leaving the security of his kingdom to his more capable brother-in-law Harold Godwinson, the powerful Earl of Wessex. Against this backdrop we meet Wulfhere, a Sussex thegn who, as the sun sets over the wild forest of Andredesweald, is returning home victoriously from a great battle in the north. Holding his lands directly from the King, his position demands loyalty to Edward himself, but Wulfhere is duty-bound to also serve Harold, a bond forged within Wulfhere's family heritage and borne of the ancient Teutonic ideology of honour and loyalty. Wulfhere is a man with the strength and courage of a bear, a warrior whose loyalty to his lord and king is unquestionable. He is also a man who holds his family dear and would do anything to protect them. So when Harold demands that he wed his daughter to the son of Helghi, his sworn enemy, Wulfhere has to find a way to save his daughter from a life of certain misery in the household of the cruel and resentful Helghi without compromising his honour and loyalty to his lord, Harold. Sons of the Wolf is a panoramic snapshot of medieval life and politics as the events that lead to the downfall of Anglo Saxon England play out, immersing the reader in the tapestry of life as it was before the Doomsday Book. With depictions of everyday life experienced through the minds of the peoples of the time; of feasts in the Great Halls to battles fought in the countryside, it cannot help but enlighten, educate and entertain.

Book excerpt: "The Son Of The Wolf" is a collection of short stories, all with a common subject - the northern part of the American continent, the pursuit of gold during the rush in Yukon, and mainly the dealings between the locals (Native Americans) and the European settlers.Though the stories are different, they have much in common, and the mostly the same characters appear throughout them. Jack London gained a lot of fame by writing about the Klondike gold rush, and rightly so. London certainly has a very good insight into the minds of the men and women that occupy the raw, unforgiving North. The stories tell of endurance, hardships and strife but also about true friendship, brave men and virtuous women.Reading so many stories about the North makes me a little cold though, so I think I'll move to warmer places now: -)

Download or read book Wolf Story written by William McCleery and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2012-12-05 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This irresistible book is about: a father; his five-year-old son, Michael (intelligent, crafty, addicted to stories); Michael’s best friend Stefan (stalwart listener, equally addicted to stories); and, well—what else?—a story. Oh, and a wolf. It is as Michael always demands: a Wolf Story, which begins one night at bedtime and spins wildly on through subsequent bedtimes and Sunday outings to the beach and park in a succession of ever more trickily tantalizing episodes. Waldo the wolf is sneaking up on Rainbow the hen, when Jimmy Tractorwheel, the son of the local farmer, comes along. After that, there’s no knowing what will happen next, as while stalled in traffic jams or nodding off at night, the boys chime in and the story races on and Waldo finds, if not necessarily dinner, his just desserts. First published in 1947 and wonderfully illustrated by Warren Chappell, William McCleery’s Wolf Story is a delicious treat for fathers and sons and daughters and mothers alike.

Book excerpt: Jack London produced some remarkable stories around the people who participated in the Klondike gold rush at the turn of the twentieth century. The northern part of Canada that constitutes the Klondike region is known for its extreme weather and any misadventure or miscalculation can turn into a definitive recipe for death. Yet the availability of gold and lure of lucre led hordes of prospectors from America and Canada to try their fortunes in this indifferent and brutal setting. London traveled to these regions for a brief while and gained firsthand knowledge of these Argonauts who went gold prospecting and celebrated them and their lives through a series of stories. The setting in which men pitted against harsh nature, fellow men and animals brought the best and the worst in them. The greatness of London's stories lies in spinning interesting tales around his observations and encounters of these men, women and animals leading to a popular body of fiction which is unique, well-admired, memorable and a joy to read. "The Son of the Wolf" is one such collection of London's Klondike stories.For the gold prospectors in Klondike death, dying and destruction are part of the deal and therefore death of men, women or animal did not accompany conventional expression of grief. In the story "The White Silence", Mason - a gold prospector - is crushed under a tree by a freak accident and after meaningful attempts to do his best, Mason's best friend Malemute Kid despite his great attachment and love for Mason puts a bullet in him and continues on his journey with Mason's wife Ruth without a word or murmur. The loneliness of two men and a pregnant woman in the vast silence of those frozen wastelands is brought to life by London in a way that is unforgettableLondon's prose has a peculiar masculinity associated with it. Yet his portrayal of female characters in these stories is never any less to the male characters he writes about. In the stories "The Priestly Prerogative" and "The Wife of a King" one gets to see two strong willed women have their way and assert their independence with the help of honourable and just men who populate this male dominated settingIn Klondike region, weak minded and weak bodied men are simply winnowed out by the natural conditions. The story 'In a Far Country' is a tale of two such men who cocooned in an isolated shelter work towards mutual destruction for lack of strength, moral tenacity and trust. In an environment where being unjust and unfair could mean a chance of survival and an opportunity to live once again one expects men to develop a code of ethics that are savage and easily comprisable. On the contrary London's Argonauts are men of a moral fibre that is sturdy, impressive and emulation worthy. In three of the best stories in the collection "An Odyssey of the North", "To the Man on the Trial" and "The Wisdom of the Trail" one gets to see this chivalrous conduct of menAll migrations of human beings invariably end up in clash between the migrants and natives in some form or the other. The Klondike prospectors too had their share of such encounters. The title story "The Son of the Wolf" is a white man's attempt to get a native wife of his choice against the opposition of the youth and priest of the Tanana tribe. London's narration of the atmospherics of this encounter outlines the customs, mores, and apprehensions of two different cultures brilliantly.
