Download or read book Hide Island written by Richard Burgin and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Hide Island, his sixteenth book and eighth collection of stories, Richard Burgin explores themes of love and crime, memory and identity, abuse and redemption, and the contradictory battle between our fierce struggle to live lives worth remembering and our desire to disentangle ourselves from a past we wish to forget. The stories involve an extraordinarily variegated group of characters—ranging from doctors and drug dealers, prostitutes and businessmen, to writers and domestic workers. Hide Island gives voice to the profoundly tormented as well as those who seek and find enlightenment, justifying Joyce Carol Oates’ praise in Newsweek’s The Daily Beast that “What Edgar Allan Poe did for the psychotic soul, Richard Burgin does for the deeply neurotic who pass among us disguised as so seemingly ‘normal’ we may mistake them for ourselves.” And why the Boston Globe concluded that “Burgin’s tales capture the strangeness of a world that is simultaneously frightening and reassuring, and in the contemporary American short story nothing quite resembles his singular voice.”

Download or read book Orphan Island written by M. G. Mastroyannis and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2003-10 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orphan Island is a historical novel about the island of Cyprus. Revolution, foreign intrigue, intervention, and intercommunal strife are the elements that make up the island's tragedy. Squeezed in the vise of East-West power politics during the cold war, Cyprus becomes the apple of discord as against the will of its people NATO tries to pull the non-aligned island into its camp and make it an unsinkable nuclear base. Through diabolical schemes and stratagems from governments of powerful nations, the island suffers a brutal invasion by the Turks, complete with ferocious atrocities, all in full view of a "freedom-loving NATO." Amid deep hostility, turmoil, espionage, treachery, and war, the love of Achilles and Daphne is rekindled and flourished. Achilles, an idealist intellectual and zealous fighter for freedom, is one of the leaders in the revolution to kick the British out of Cyprus. Artistic Daphne is sensitive and emotional, and she lives to love Achilles and to dream an eternal life with him. But their love follows the intricate weave of their destiny, which is interlaced with the destiny of Cyprus as it is ordained by foreign governments and men with depraved causes. Orphan Island is based on the true story of Cyprus and its courageous people, who ask to be free and because of that their lives change forever, the result of outworn British colonial mentality, and corrupt American foreign policy and failure.

Download or read book Treasure Island written by Sara Levine and published by Europa Editions. This book was released on 2011-12-07 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young slacker decides to live her life according to Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic adventure: “A rollicking tale, shameless, funny and intelligent” (The New York Times). When a college graduate with a history of hapless jobs (ice cream scooper, gift wrapper, laziest ever part-time clerk at The Pet Library) reads Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel Treasure Island, she is dumbstruck by the timid design of her life. When had she ever dreamed a scheme? When had she ever done a foolish, overbold act? When had she ever, like Jim Hawkins, broken from her friends, raced for the beach, stolen a boat, killed a man, and eliminated an obstacle that stood in the way of her getting a hunk of gold? Convinced that Stevenson’s book is cosmically intended for her, she redesigns her life according to its Core Values: boldness, resolution, independence, and horn-blowing. Accompanied by her mother, her sister, and a hostile Amazon parrot that refuses to follow the script, our heroine embarks on a domestic adventure more frightening than anything she’d originally planned. Treasure Island!!! is the story of a ferocious obsession, told by an original voice—“insane, hilarious, and irreverent” (Alice Sebold). “Highly original . . . will keep you entertained in spite of (or more accurately, because of) its toxic narrator.” —Library Journal “A hoot.” —Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book Druid Island 2 written by John D. Hartman and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-06-09 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long after the death of King Arthur, the sorcerer Merlin escaped from the cave of enchantment on Druid Island after having been held prisoner by the evil witch, Morgana. With the help of the goddess Athena, Merlin was able to trick Morgana and seal her within the cave where he had languished for so long. Old and with his health broken, Merlin took his infant son, Thomas, to Shetland’s Rock to be raised by a wealthy family knowing that, after his death, the goddess would keep watch over the boy. As he grew, having inherited his father’s magical powers, Thomas soon learned the ways of the Druid and became the protector of Druid Island. Over 30 years passed, during which Morgana continued to attempt to free herself so that she could once again commence her evil ways. Unable to stop what he knew would be her inevitable escape Thomas sought the help of a young boy, David, whose father was the Druid’s closest friend during childhood. Through a series of harrowing events and in a variety of strange places, the youngster was successful in obtaining the powerful Druid’s Egg and used it to destroy the witch. Reunited with his mother and aunt, David, along with Thomas and Kalli, a small boy that he had rescued from the Fantasian Forest, felt that peace would be restored to Druid Island. He was mistaken, for the world still housed many strange creatures that sought revenge for the death of the witch and who wanted to see both the boy and Merlin’s son destroyed. Druid Island 2, The Book of Spells, takes up the story of the Druid wizard and David as they once more must face the monsters and demons that threaten the Island and the entire world. Created by the old gods, Zeus and Hades, The Book of Spells contains secrets that could provide world domination for anyone who learns what is written on those pages. As the search for the book begins, it becomes apparent that Thomas and David are not the only ones seeking the mystical tome, and it quickly becomes a race to see who will be the first to locate the long lost Book of Spells.
