Download or read book St Brendan s Lighthouse and The Falcon s Nest written by Shawn A Lohan and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2024-09-19 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A decade ago, Shan narrowly escaped the clutches of a secret right-wing cabal hidden within the English government. He embarks on a journey of understanding to the Isle of Man in search of his Celtic past. Little does Shan know that his would-be kidnappers are once again in hot pursuit, and the facts he will uncover delve deeper than he could have imagined—even into secret government groups and political conspiracies. Also involved in this dangerous game of cat-and-mouse are Inspector Maloney of the Irish GARDA and a former enigmatic member of the IRA and those wishing to do him and his father, harm. Can Shan untangle the many-layered mysteries that await him on the Isle of Man and outwit his pursuers? St. Brendan’s Lighthouse and the Falcon’s Nest, the second novel in The St. Brendan Series , is an action-mystery novel deftly woven into the fabric of the Isle of Man—landmarks, architecture, and the famous Isle of Man TT motorcycle race bring the setting to life and invite the reader to delve into its history along with Shan. Bringing in characters from The Three Coins, Lohan’s father’s novel, St. Brendan’s Lighthouse and the Falcon’s Nest is a text that speaks through its plot and its very construction about the importance of family and history. “This road was a universe unto itself, for if thoughts were leaves and hopes were the winds upon which they drifted, this landscape would be brimming and deep, recognized for what it contained if your heart only had eyes.”

Download or read book Hal Wallis written by Bernard F. Dick and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hal Wallis (1898-1986) might not be as well known as David O. Selznick or Samuel Goldwyn, but the films he produced—Casablanca, Jezebel, Now, Voyager, The Life of Emile Zola, Becket, True Grit, and many other classics (as well as scores of Elvis movies)—have certainly endured. As producer of numerous films, Wallis made an indelible mark on the course of America's film industry, but his contributions are often overlooked. Bernard Dick offers the first comprehensive assessment of the producer's incredible career. A former office boy and salesman, Wallis first engaged with the film business as the manager of a Los Angeles movie theater in 1922. He attracted the notice of the Warner brothers, who hired him as a publicity assistant. Within three months he was director of the department, and appointments to studio manager and production executive quickly followed. Wallis went on to oversee dozens of productions and formed his own production company in 1944. Dick draws on numerous sources such as Wallis's personal production files and exclusive interviews with many of his contemporaries to finally tell the full story of his illustrious career. Dick combines his knowledge of behind-the-scenes Hollywood with fascinating anecdotes to create a portrait of one of Hollywood's early power players.

Download or read book Sailing to Freedom written by Timothy D. Walker and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-30 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1858, Mary Millburn successfully made her escape from Norfolk, Virginia, to Philadelphia aboard an express steamship. Millburn's maritime route to freedom was far from uncommon. By the mid-nineteenth century an increasing number of enslaved people had fled northward along the Atlantic seaboard. While scholarship on the Underground Railroad has focused almost exclusively on overland escape routes from the antebellum South, this groundbreaking volume expands our understanding of how freedom was achieved by sea and what the journey looked like for many African Americans. With innovative scholarship and thorough research, Sailing to Freedom highlights little-known stories and describes the less-understood maritime side of the Underground Railroad, including the impact of African Americans' paid and unpaid waterfront labor. These ten essays reconsider and contextualize how escapes were managed along the East Coast, moving from the Carolinas, Virginia, and Maryland to safe harbor in northern cities such as Philadelphia, New York, New Bedford, and Boston. In addition to the volume editor, contributors include David S. Cecelski, Elysa Engelman, Kathryn Grover, Megan Jeffreys, Cheryl Janifer LaRoche, Mirelle Luecke, Cassandra Newby-Alexander, Michael D. Thompson, and Len Travers.
