Download or read book The Shadows Return and other stories written by Ravi Tennety and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2020-03-20 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A teacher who loves to discipline his students, a friend who returns to kill, a hotel that retains its guests, a wife who dreads the return of her husband, an educationalist whose spirit remains in his school, a pickpocket who finds the wrong victim, an unending flight, an actress who literally lives her role… The Shadows Return (and other stories) is a compelling collection of short stories. They are tightly woven, haunting and inevitably carry a sting in the tail. The author races the reader to the end, and, with a deft flick, turns him around to face the way he has come. Each story is meticulously detailed and knit like a collage. The last few lines convert each painting into a hologram, where the reader is not sure what the picture really is. Won’t you enjoy the ride?

Download or read book The Baseball Hall of Shame written by Bruce Nash and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1985 to 1992, The Baseball Hall of Shame series chronicled more than 100 years of baseball goofs and gaffes, selling more than 700,000 copies. Now, the authors of the most offbeat baseball books ever written are back, featuring their looniest lineup of classic stories and inducting their first new class of Hall of Shamers in twenty years. Bruce Nash and Allan Zullo cover everything from the battiest batters and craziest fielding fiascoes to the dumbest ballpark promotions and screwiest fan behavior. Hall of Shamers include outfielder Lou "The Mad Russian" Novikoff, who insisted his wife taunt him from the stands because it made him a better hitter... Pitcher Burleigh Grimes, who was so mean that he threw a beanball at the on-deck hitter... Outfielder Ping Bodie, who out-ate Percy the ostrich for the spaghetti-eating championship of the world... and Babe Ruth, who wore ladies' silk stockings for good luck. Among the new inductees are Ken Griffey Jr., who put a cow in manager Lou Piniella's office to pay off a steak dinner bet... Manny Ramirez, who abandoned left field to go to the bathroom during a game... and David "Big Papi" Ortiz, whose underwear was smeared with peanut butter as payback for the pranks he pulled on teammates. Filled with more than 200 stories and packed with photos, The Baseball Hall of Shame: The Best of Blooperstown is the most hilarious homage to the national pastime ever assembled, and a fitting testament to the Hall's motto: "Fame and shame are part of the game."
Download or read book Refugee Camps in Europe and Australia written by Oliver Razum and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-08 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Palgrave Pivot examines refugee camps in the EU, Australia, and their border zones. The approach is interdisciplinary, comprising perspectives of history, ethics, political science, literature, and health. The book argues that current practice of accommodating refugees is arbitrary and disempowering, ranging from strict regulation within nation states to detrimental conditions in extraterritorial camps.

Download or read book The Called Shot written by Thomas Wolf and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1932, at the beginning of the turbulent decade that would remake America, baseball fans were treated to one of the most thrilling seasons in the history of the sport. As the nation drifted deeper into the Great Depression and reeled from social unrest, baseball was a diversion for a troubled country—and yet the world of baseball was marked by the same edginess that pervaded the national scene. On-the-field fights were as common as double plays. Amid the National League pennant race, Cubs’ shortstop Billy Jurges was shot by showgirl Violet Popovich in a Chicago hotel room. When the regular season ended, the Cubs and Yankees clashed in what would be Babe Ruth’s last appearance in the fall classic. After the Cubs lost the first two games in New York, the series resumed in Chicago at Wrigley Field, with Democratic presidential candidate Franklin Roosevelt cheering for the visiting Yankees from the box seats behind the Yankees’ dugout. In the top of the fifth inning the game took a historic turn. As Ruth was jeered mercilessly by Cubs players and fans, he gestured toward the outfield and then blasted a long home run. After Ruth circled the bases, Roosevelt exclaimed, “Unbelievable!” Ruth’s homer set off one of baseball’s longest-running and most intense debates: did Ruth, in fact, call his famous home run? Rich with historical context and detail, The Called Shot dramatizes the excitement of a baseball season during one of America’s most chaotic summers.

Download or read book 30 written by Ray Zardetto and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2010-03-22 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1930 baseball season was unlike any other. Big league rosters included more Hall of Famers than at any time before or since. "The year of the batter" saw an extraordinary number of records set for runs, hits, home runs and RBIs. Nine of the 16 teams hit over .300 and so did 60 percent of the regular players. Seven pairs of teammates hit .350 or better and 20 batters had over 200 hits. Hack Wilson had a record 191 RBIs and five others topped 150; both leagues' batting races came down to the last game of the season. The pennant races provided great drama as well. In the National League, the Cardinals overcame a fourth place 12-game deficit in the final weeks of the season to win a four team, down-to-the-wire race. In the American League, underdog Washington battled injuries, misfortune and tragedy to challenge the heavily-favored Athletics. For the first time, this remarkable season is covered in full, from spring training to the final out of the World Series.

Book excerpt: Gripping' SHASHI THAROOR 'First-rate' AAKAR PATEL 'Illuminating' RUPAM ISLAM Allured by the unrestricted power of the CPI(M), Presidency College scholar Rajat Lahiri joins its student wing, the Students’ Federation of India, and trains to become one of its foot soldiers. On achieving full-fledged membership, he does not hesitate in getting his hands dirty for a regime inherited by Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee from an ailing Jyoti Basu, and marred by corruption and violence. This change in leadership, prompted by the arrival of a strong contender in Mamata Banerjee, sustains the existing nexus of crime and politics and paves the way for fervid protests and their brutal suppression by the state. With the situation spiralling out of control and public support fading, the stage is set for the Singur movement and violence in Nandigram. After witnessing the party’s historic defeat in the 2011 Legislative Assembly election, a disillusioned Rajat leaves Calcutta, only to return as a journalist covering the gradual and thorough decimation of the CPI(M) over the following decade. In this compulsive work of creative non-fiction, political journalist Sourjya Bhowmick explores the burning question: Will the CPI(M) ever recover from the 2021 Assembly election, or will it be pushed into permanent oblivion by the formidable Trinamool Congress and the relentless BJP?
