Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stan bought an open second class ticket to Belgrade, and packed food to reduce expenses. The Yugoslavian landscape was dreary; in winter, the animals were in the barn and the fields were blanketed with snow. Midnight Train to Trieste tells the story of Stan Ivy, an American university student on his first globetrotting experience through Europe. He was unprepared for his struggles with a near rape in his train compartment, local sadistic soldiers, and a gypsy globetrotter who altered his perceptions about the world. This is a poignant tale that generates both mesmerizing suspense and astonishing empathy into the intense nature of human frailty.

Book excerpt: Laura, a female version of Fieldings Tom Jones did what she had to do with feisty, unquenchable determination to attain her happy ending. Be warned! It is not a tale of virtue rewarded! Its rather an honest faithfully detailed, picturesque odyssey of a long walk on the wild side. Thats what fascinated me. This is how a woman walked her road following her instincts and wits! There are women who live their lives outside the lines who seem to be the stuff of mens fantasies. If you have wondered what their motivations are and whats in their hearts, Lauras most intimate revelations will enable you to walk miles in her shoes. That gorgeous woman vivaciously tossing her hair over a luscious meal in an outrageously expensive restaurant, her slightly mismatched date devouring her with his eyes in anticipation: Whats up there? Find out for yourself! The fast pace of the story and the quotes from familiar classics like Jane Ayre and the Doll House that precede each chapter hinting whats next work well! There are lots of travel stories and people anecdotes, and the sense of a vivid acquaintance with a lively Italian family over decades. And theres a great how it ended closure chapter about the men in her past. If you can suspend yourself from judging Enough to appreciate this tales frankness there are many insights to be had here. It seems to me this book could get some good discussions going, especially between men and women or across generations!
Download or read book Civil and Uncivil Wars written by Nicholas X. Rizopoulos and published by TidePool Press, LLC. This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Less extreme than the wartime experiences of J. G. Ballard or Jerzy Kosinski but in the same vivid tradition, Civil and Uncivil Wars is a profound, touching, occasionally disconcerting,unfailingly candid, and consistently engaging reminder that the full measure of war and domestic unrest cannot be appreciated without the telling insights of the young. As the bloody European war intensified across the continent, Greece, with Athens as its epicenter, was embroiled in the complexities of civil war with rightists, centrists, resisters, collaborators, moderate leftists, and Communists actively vying for local dominance when the German occupation began in 1941 and surreptitiously afterward. Against this tense and shifting backdrop, Nicholas Rizopoulos—decades later a discerning historian of European diplomacy—came of age, a challenging enough proposition in times of peace but that much more poignant and unpredictable during war. Greek to the core, the author's family was rooted in the complex cultural life of northern Greece—Macedonia and Thessaly, the fading Ottomans, the ghosts of the Balkan wars, and the re-ascendant Greek polity following the First World War. Athens became their stage, and the narrative beautifully captures the author's formative transition from his early childhood in pre-war Greece though his schoolboy years in an occupied and oftentimes menacing city. Lively and intimate, reflective and concrete, Civil and Uncivil Wars is both a boy's eye view of growing up in a complex family and a mature scholar's subtle insights into the larger context that had shaped his own life without his knowing it at the time.

Download or read book Slovene Karst and Caves in the Past written by Trevor Shaw and published by Založba ZRC. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The caves and dramatic limestone scenery of the Slovene karst have attracted visitors for centuries. The great stalagmites and roaring underground rivers were seen by relatively few people at that time but many of them did record their experiences in diaries as well as in print. These are used in the book, which is a result of a long-time collaboration between an English historian of speleology and a Slovene historian, to describe what they saw and what they thought about it, with contemporary illustrations by contemporary artists and photographers. Modern tourism derives from the tours led by Thomas Cook who first came to Postojnska jama in 1868. Music in that cave has a very long history for dancing or concerts. This is only one example of the relation between caves and people as a constant theme in this book. Altogether the 39 chapters describe, for example, the problems facing all travellers in pre-railway days and point out that one of the very first women to explore difficult caves did so at Škocjan. Also touched upon is Darwin’s interest in Slovene cave animals and a lot more. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Kraške jame, pa tudi posebna in zanimiva slovenska pokrajina – kras – že stoletja privlačijo obiskovalce. A vendar je bilo v preteklih stoletjih le peščici dano občudovati najrazličnejše kraške formacije in prisluhniti bučečim podzemeljskim rekam. Kar nekaj obiskovalcev je izkušnje in opažanja zapisalo v dnevnike in jih v tiskani obliki celo objavilo. V knjigi, ki je plod dolgoletnega angleško-slovenskega sodelovanja (svetovno znanega preučevalca zgodovine speleologije in slovenske zgodovinarke), so povzeti njihova opažanja in vtisi, dopolnjeni z ilustracijami oziroma s fotografijami iz tistega časa. Dobo modernega turizma je začel Thomas Cook, ki je prve organizirane skupine v Postojnsko jamo pripeljal leta 1868. V tej jami že vrsto let prirejajo glasbene oziroma plesne prireditve. To je le en vidik odnosa med človekom in jamo, ki ga obravnava knjiga. V 39 poglavjih spoznamo na primer težave, s katerimi so se spoprijemali obiskovalci jam pred uvedbo železnice, izvemo, da je ena izmed pionirk – raziskovalk jam – raziskovala prav Škocjanske jame, da so živali, ki jih najdemo v slovenskih jamah, pritegnile pozornost samega Darwina in še veliko več.
