Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 1997-98 Camilla Carr and Jon James set off as volunteers in a £500 Lada stacked high with toys, games, footballs, paints and a parachute. Their destination was Chechnya and their aim was to work with children who had been traumatised by war. After working for two months setting up and teaching in a rehabilitation centre and watching the children begin to smile and play again, they were kidnapped by Chechen guerrillas. There followed fourteen months of incarceration in homes that varied from a concrete box with no natural light or fresh air, to a pink trompe la oeil bedroom via a sauna and various cellars. They experienced everything from rape and mental torture to moments of compassion and kindness. They survived by using tools such as tai chi, yoga, meditation and humour; and through creating a dialogue with their captors, looking beneath their masks of fear and anger to reach the small flame of love and laughter unquenched by the demonising nature of war.

Book excerpt: Katlin Gindred na Bortheran, princess and heir to the Tayan Empire, has been brought back from the dead. The most expensive genes available were used to create her original body, and thousands of years of careful breeding, paired with a lifetime of intensive training, have made her a brilliant pilot, instructor, leader and fighter. But one battle against the ships of the Silerian Empire ended in a violent crash-landing that brought her to her demise. Katlin must put aside her humiliation and surmount her defeat if she is to resume her duties as princess and regain respect, but a message from a stranger seems to imply that her death was not quite as she had thought. In a universe torn apart by two warring empires, Katlin must decide which side is really worth fighting for, and which of her instincts to trust. Contains some graphic scenes and profanity.

Download or read book Carpentaria written by Alexis Wright and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexis Wright’s award-winning classic Carpentaria: “a swelling, heaving tsunami of a novel—stinging, sinuous, salted with outrageous humor, sweetened by spiraling lyricism” (The Australian) Carpentaria is an epic of the Gulf country of northwestern Queensland, Australia. Its portrait of life in the precariously settled coastal town of Desperance centers on the powerful Phantom family, leader of the Westend Pricklebush people, and its battles with old Joseph Midnight’s renegade Eastend mob, on the one hand, and with the white officials of Uptown and the nearby rapacious, ecologically disastrous Gurfurrit mine on the other. Wright’s masterful novel teems with extraordinary characters—the outcast savior Elias Smith, the religious zealot Mozzie Fishman, the murderous mayor Bruiser, the moth-ridden Captain Nicoli Finn, the activist Will Phantom, and above all, the rulers of the family, the queen of the garbage dump and the fish-embalming king of time: Angel Day and Normal Phantom—who stand like giants in a storm-swept world. Wright’s storytelling is operatic and surreal: a blend of myth and scripture, politics and farce. She has a narrative gift for remaking reality itself, altering along her way, as if casually, the perception of what a novel can do with the inside of the reader's mind. Carpentaria is “an epic, exhilarating, unsettling novel” (Wall Street Journal) that is not to be missed.

Download or read book Hope on the Horizon written by Gail Stoewer and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gail Stoewer was born and raised in San Diego, California. Her journey would travel thousands of miles, with no distance covered, until she found the exit to her true purpose and destiny. Gail's course was set by a deep, early love for God, and then a deeper doubt of Him as she circumvented her life as a human here on earth. Gail faced the battles of human existence, as all her identity and meaning were being stripped away. It became evident, during the battles, what the truth really was and it's significance. When her road was filled with potholes, detours and human discouragement, Gail discovered who was really in charge and the power they held to change her destiny.
Download or read book Counting Down written by Deborah Gold and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2018-02-26 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Deborah Gold and her husband signed up to foster parent in their rural mountain community, they did not foresee that it would lead to a roller-coaster fifteen years of involvement with a traumatized yet resilient birth family. They fell in love with Michael (a toddler when he came to them), yet they had to reckon with the knowledge that he could leave their lives at any time. In Counting Down, Gold tells the story of forging a family within a confounding system. We meet social workers, a birth mother with the courage to give her children the childhood she never had herself, and a father parenting from prison. We also encounter members of a remarkable fellowship of Appalachian foster parents—gay, straight, right, left, evangelical, and atheist—united by love, loss, and quality hand-me-downs. Gold’s memoir is one of the few books to deliver a foster parent’s perspective (and, through Michael’s own poetry and essays, that of a former foster child). In it, she shakes up common assumptions and offers a powerfully frank and hopeful look at an experience often portrayed as bleak.

It might just as possibly be an invention,that unprecedented Event which causes a globalcollapse into another phase state away from thehuman, away from the organic; a product of theforeign body which forms part of the human, willbe responsible for everything that we fear fromcatastrophic interventions and intrusions,something which simultaneously wipes out andrestates, something which, much more frighteningthan Ebola, will be something which we desire andwant to come about, something we have created:an invention which is hollow inside.
