Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boston in the 1770s is a tense place. The patriots object to a government across the sea deciding their taxes, and the redcoats have been sent in to keep order. All Jack wants is to stay out of trouble, and to protect his little sister – but when the fighting breaks out, he knows he’ll need to pick a side. Paris in the 1790s is full of excitement as the Revolution promises liberty, equality and fraternity for all. Catherine is proud to have a father in the new government, and pleased to have made a new friend who is just as thrilled by the Revolution as she is. But not everyone feels the same way – and terror will soon take over the city. Wexford in 1798 is waiting for word about an uprising. The United Irishmen are plotting for the country to be free from Britain, even as members of the illegal secret society are urged to turn in their weapons. Robert’s brothers tell him he’s too young to take part, but he’s determined to prove them wrong and show them he’s no coward.

Download or read book ULYSSES Modern Classics Series written by James Joyce and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2024-01-10 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "ULYSSES (Modern Classics Series)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Ulysses is a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. It is considered to be one of the most important works of modernist literature, and has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement". Ulysses chronicles the peripatetic appointments and encounters of Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904. Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem Odyssey, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between its characters and events and those of the poem (the correspondence of Leopold Bloom to Odysseus, Molly Bloom to Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus to Telemachus). Joyce divided Ulysses into 18 chapters or "episodes". At first glance much of the book may appear unstructured and chaotic; Joyce once said that he had "put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant", which would earn the novel "immortality". James Joyce (1882-1941) was an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century. Joyce is best known for Ulysses, the short-story collection Dubliners, and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Finnegans Wake.
Download or read book Inside the GPO 1916 written by Joe Good and published by The O'Brien Press. This book was released on 2015-03-16 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A first-hand account of the 1916 Rising and its aftermath brings alive the historic events that ushered in the beginnings of an independent Irish state. A Londoner and a member of the Irish Volunteers, Joe Good guarded the approach across O'Connell Bridge as the rebels took the centre of Dublin. He joined the garrison in the GPO, and describes at first hand the events of insurrection: the confusion, the heroism, and the tragedy of Easter Week. After the Rising, Joe Good worked as an organiser for the Volunteers. He was a close associate of Michael Collins and his portrait of Collins provides fresh insight into his character, his competitiveness, and how he related to his men. In 1918 Good was one of a handpicked team sent to London to assassinate members of the British cabinet, and here he gives the first full account to be published of this extraordinary expedition. Joe Good, born in London in 1895, died in Dublin in 1962. He wrote his journal in 1946 for his son Maurice, who has now edited it for publication.
