Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You would like to go to France and see something of the Tour de France. But how? How can you get the most out of your visit? What can you experience? How different is watching live to watching on TV? Is it worth the cost? All questions I attempt to answer from my 9 years following the Tour de France around France. And of course, there is France itself! France is stunning. Everyone should visit the Tour at least once. This book will provide information on logistics, planning, opportunities, and what to expect, where, and when. I provide tips for every type of opportunity that is possible on the different stage profiles so you can decide what suits your hopes for your visit best. I give practical information and example days on each variation. It’s also a good read! I have experienced so much that every one of the 149 days I have spent at the tour has something worth talking about, but have had to limit the example days to just 31. If you are not sure what to do for your holiday, go to the Tour de France! You will not regret it.

Download or read book Judge Not written by André Gide and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andre Gide's lifelong fascination with the conventions of society led naturally to a strong interest in France's judicial system. At the age of sixty Gide published Judge Not, a collection of writings detailing his own experiences with the law as well as his thoughts on truth, justice, and judgment.Gide's obsession with crime and punishment was not just a morbid hobby; rather, it struck at the heart of his themes as a writer. In the literary tradition of Dostoyevsky and Conrad, Gide frequently used criminals as central characters to explore human nature and the individual's place in society.In the first essay in Judge Not, "A Memoir of the Assize Court," Gide writes about his experience as a juror in several trials, including that of an arsonist (Gide actively sought jury duty, so great was his interest in legal matters). In "The Redureau Case" and "The Confined Woman of Poitiers" Gide analyzes two famous crimes of his day, an inexplicable slaughter by Marcel Redureau, a docile fifteen-year-old vineyard laborer who violently murdered his employer's family, and the respected Monnier family's confinement of their daughter, Blanche. Both cases fascinated Gide--elements of each would appear in his later fiction--and he looks closely at the facts of each as they came out in court. In addition, in "News Items" Gide analyzes the way newspapers present crime narratives, drawing from the hundreds of press clippings he collected throughout his life.Andr Gide (1869-1951) wrote The Counterfeiters; several brief works of fiction including Strait Is the Gate and The Immoralist; a number of plays; and several works of literary criticism. He won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1947 and in 1950 was made an honorary corresponding member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.Benjamin Ivry has translated from the French Vanished Splendors: The Memoirs of Balthus, Raoul Dufy's My Doctor, Wine, and Jules Verne's Magellania, among other books. He is the author of the poetry collection Paradise for the Portuguese Queen as well as the biographies Francis Poulenc, Arthur Rimbaud, and Maurice Ravel: A Life.
Download or read book Santa Baby written by Ali Cronin and published by Hot Key Books. This book was released on 2013-11-07 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Snowy days and steamy nights ... A saucy Christmas novella to heat up your winter nights! It's Christmas, and also the end of Annie's first few weeks as a chalet girl up in the Swiss mountains. Her boyfriend back home has gone off travelling, and Annie's not exactly feeling full of festive spirit. She really isn't in the mood for the stag party of posh-boys who've just arrived... And sure enough, it isn't long before one of the party - alpha male George - is coming on a little too strong, and making it clear he'd relish getting Annie under the mistletoe, and into his bed. She's almost tempted. George is funny, in a loud, arrogant kind of way, and he's certainly attractive. But Annie is more interested in someone else... the shy, quiet one of the group, who doesn't quite seem to fit in with the rest of the public school boys. Pity he's got a girlfriend - according to George, that is. But the days roll on, and despite the freezing temperatures on the slopes, it's hotting up in the chalet, and Annie is close to boiling point. The question is, does a certain person feel the same way... SANTA BABY is part of Hot Key Books' exclusive new novella list, and one of a series of five available this Christmas. Unlock your naughty side!

Download or read book Build Your Own Acoustic Guitar written by Jonathan Kinkead and published by Hal Leonard Corporation. This book was released on 2004 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Book). Every guitarist dreams of owning a handmade instrument, but for most, the cost is likely to be prohibitive. The alternative building your own fine guitar is not as difficult as you might imagine, given some skill, patience, and the expert guidance of a master luthier. Every step of construction is fully covered, from choice, selection, and preparation of woods, to consideration of size, bracing, and tonal qualities. Each step of the building sequence is clearly photographed in color, with variations to the standard design shown to enable you to personalize your instrument as you make it. Briston, England-based Jonathan Kinkead has been building guitars for nearly 30 years. His craft is born out of experience and intuition rather than a strict following of technical detail. The resulting beauty of form and distinctive tone have earned him his reputation as one of the world's most respected independent luthiers.
Download or read book Blood Royal written by Eric Jager and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting true story of murder and detection in 15th-century Paris, by one of the most brilliant medievalists of his generation. On a chilly November night in 1407, Louis of Orleans was murdered by a band of masked men. The crime stunned and paralyzed France since Louis had often ruled in place of his brother King Charles, who had gone mad. As panic seized Paris, an investigation began. In charge was the Provost of Paris, Guillaume de Tignonville, the city's chief law enforcement officer -- and one of history's first detectives. As de Tignonville began to investigate, he realized that his hunt for the truth was much more dangerous than he ever could have imagined. A rich portrait of a distant world, Blood Royal is a gripping story of conspiracy, crime and an increasingly desperate hunt for the truth. And in Guillaume de Tignonville, we have an unforgettable detective for the ages, a classic gumshoe for a cobblestoned era.
Download or read book The Collected Works of Owen Wister written by Owen Wister and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-11-13 with total page 1011 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Owen Wister (1860-1938) was an American writer and "father" of western fiction. When he started writing, he naturally inclined towards fiction set on the western frontier. Wister's most famous work remains the novel The Virginian, set in the Wild West. It describes the life of a cowboy who is a natural aristocrat, set against a highly mythologized version of the Johnson County War and taking the side of the large land owners. The Virginian paved the way for many more westerns by such authors as Zane Grey, Louis L'Amour, and several others. It is also widely regarded as being the first cowboy novel.
