A hugely popular figure among his team-mates, coaches, backroom staff, supporters and opponents alike, Dylan was loved and respected throughout the football community for his talent, his smile and his spirit. Dylan was already a star. What he achieved in his 20 years was astonishing, but we knew he had potential to go on and accomplish even greater things. This book will ensure that the stars of the future have the opportunity that Dylan, tragically, was robbed of, to fulfil their potential,” comments Vice Chairman of West Ham United F.C., Karren Brady.

Download or read book Raft written by Howard Goldenberg and published by Hybrid Publishers. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year for over a decade Goldenberg, a white middle-aged doctor, has spent numerous periods working as a relieving doctor for Aboriginal communities in remote places. On these visits he has observed and recorded Aboriginal Australians lives without resorting to simplification or glib solutions. Among his true stories we meet psychotic Elijah who believes he is Satan's boss and cannot die; a dehydrated baby whose mother gambles away money for food; an old lady who receives a gashed head while fending off a thief stealing her money - her husband. In the midst of tragedy, suffering and moral ambiguity, these stories also tell of cultural richness and common humanity. Goldenberg writes: 'Aboriginal Australians are not at peace. They are variously unwell, underfed, overfed, afflicted excessively by our lifestyle diseases, confused by our drugs and drink, endowed with income but not with work, living in sickening poverty in paradisiacal places; and distracted from their serious cultural business by the trappings of our serious cultural emptiness.'

Download or read book Prose of Sharon written by Sharon von Bergener and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-12-22 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ms. von Bergener’s writing impels you to move out of your comfort zone. The use of colorful American idioms peppered throughout these tales adds a heightened dimension of reality. With memory layering, she swipes at Americana with cutting wordplay. She is an ambassador for both the downtrodden and the overindulgent; she plays no favorites. No scene is sugar-coated, but the extra treat is the realistic dialog and tidbits of information throughout the well-timed short stories. Inserted into each story—no matter how serious—is much-appreciated humor. Relationships come alive on the page, right down to each body movement, slang and scene description. Intriguing back stories breathe life into her quirky characters, whom you will discuss well after you have finished her tales. You will find yourself anticipating, shocked and ultimately chuckling with the farcical turn of events. You will go through different emotions at very close intervals, wondering how she can be so irreverent and poignant at the same time. It’s a heady combination. Ms. von Bergener’s stories leave you wanting more. Her poetry, snarky and cynical, stripped and unflowery, reflects her offbeat observations and insights—candid snapshots of life’s frustrations and triumphs.

And the Mage of Four, Mage of Luck, is a powerful enemy indeed. Jack must flee the world of Lostwithal. He must flee to Kemolo. To our world. The secret he carries could mean the end of all the worlds, not just his own. The Epicene is coming, and with it a gate will open through which chaos will flow, overwhelming the universes. But Jack cannot violate the Order of Things, not even to preserve it. Until he can present what he has learned to the King, he must hide. And there is nowhere in Lostwithal that is safe from the Mage of Four. Mage of Luck, Jack, a Walker, must walk between the worlds. Even here he is not safe. His enemies can pursue him through the streets of our world, tracking him with magically infallible instinct. All the vast powers of the Mage of Four, Mage of Luck, are arrayed against him. But Jack is not alone. He has gathered a small group of unlikely, sometimes unwilling allies: Geebo, a man whose memory has been brutally erased; Jere Lee, a woman who has lost everything but her dignity; Herb Dierickx, chauffeur to the wealthy and powerful Gene Boman; and Money Campbell, the boy billionaire’s calculating mistress. In the ultimate confrontation, their efforts will determine the fate of the universes. “Tom De Haven’s work combines a soaring imagination, a gift for character acting and a curiosity for fantastic lives.” —The Washington Post “One of my five favorite writers in the world.” —Harlan Ellison
