Download or read book An Island Entire Unto Itself written by Nigel Patten and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2019-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the end of the 18th century, Corsica had been occupied by France for over thirty years. Islanders yearned to recover their lost independence, and the French Revolution gave them the opportunity. Their leader, Pasquale Paoli, realized that alone they could never defeat the well-organized French forces. He offered Corsica to King George III of England, on condition that the French were driven from the island. Based on documented historical fact, the author paints a detailed portrait of Corsica through the captivating adventures of Damian Berra, a young man from what is today the Swiss canton of Valais. After wandering through Lombardy to the Ligurian coast, as the victim of a press gang on a French frigate, he becomes marooned on Corsica, an island infested with bandits and crippled with vendettas, where murders are seven times more numerous than in mainland France. The story also describes the attempts of the English to administer an island they eventually called “The Ungovernable Rock.”
Download or read book Byron written by Nigel Patten and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1823, Lord Byron rented the Casa Saluzzo at Albaro in the hills east of Genoa, Italy. The poet shared the 16th-century palazzo with his mistress, Teresa Giuccioli, her brother, and their exiled father, Count Gamba. His neighbors were Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein, whose poet husband had recently drowned; Leigh Hunt, the critic and editor; and Edward Trelawney, a Cornish adventurer and close friend of both poets. A frequent visitor that summer was Lady Marguerite Blessington, who kept detailed notes of their many conversations. From these conversations, an intimate insight is gained into Byron’s personality, philosophy, mental state, opinion of himself, and the impression he made on others and society. The complexity of Byron’s character is revealed, as well as his phobias and rejection by English society for the scandals attached to his numerous amorous activities. This three-act play paints the portrait of a tormented man, obsessed with his congenital lameness and a pressing sense of solitude, despite or because of his numerous affairs with married women in his elusive quest for love.
Download or read book The Rose of Balarm written by Nigel Patten and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2022-04-15 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This intriguing transformation turns a legend into a person of history. The patron saint of Palermo, Italy (romanized as Balarm) is Santa Rosalia Sinibaldi. There’s no documented proof of her existence, so this historical tale imagines how Rosalia (Rusùlia in the book) may have lived, from her birth in 1130 to her death in 1165. The daughter of a Lombard count and a Norman noblewoman, she was also a distant cousin of King Roger II (Rujari). Educated in the Norman palace of Qasr, Rusùlia was given in marriage by the king at age fourteen to the French Count Baudouin. Rusùlia took refuge in a Basilian monastery to avoid the marriage. She then fled to her family estates and lived partly in a cave. Years later, she was forced to return to Balarm and became one of Queen Margaret’s ladies. Known for performing minor “miracles,” Rusùlia fled once more to live in another cave under Mount Pellegrino, where she lived until her death. In 1642 during the plague in Balarm, her bones were discovered, taken down the mountain, and paraded round the city. Three days later, the plague disappeared.

Download or read book Griuns written by Nigel Patten and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2020-06 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Nigel Patten, winner of two Reader’s Favorite Awards, presents his latest historical novel GRIUNS: The genesis of a small Swiss alpine village – A folk tale. “Having lived in “Gryon, the village featured in my story, for so long,” said the author, “I felt it was time to show it my gratitude. I have always tried to imagine who were the first people to spend a whole winter there, rather than simply bringing the sheep and goats up for the summer season.” Patten lives in the alpine ski village, 1,500 meters above the Rhone Valley, southwest of Lake Geneva, Switzerland. His story follows the adventures of a young couple, a serf girl and a freed man, who flee to the Swiss mountain in the wintertime, surviving with the help of a monk and a gamekeeper. Patten envisioned life there in the ninth century, because “there is no written material covering the early history of this region. All the questions I put to the medieval experts received the same reply: We don't know!”
