Download or read book Wings written by Erin Byrne and published by Travelers' Tales. This book was released on 2016-02-22 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Erin Byrne captures the essence of France through unique and authentic experiences in Wings from Victory, her collection of stories about travel in one of the world's most alluring countries. Some or her experiences come through serendipity, others via good fortune, still others by accident. But each time, Erin takes the experience, digs deeper, and discovers meaning from it. Each story demonstrates in a different way this idea put forth by Joseph Campbell: The passage of the mythological hero may be overground, incidentally; fundamentally it is inward—into the depths, where obscure resistances are overcome and long lost powers are revivified. From Cézanne’s studio in Aix-en-Provence to a tiny village in the Jura Mountains, from a cozy bistro on the Left Bank of Paris to a plain high above the Normandy beaches, Erin travels through France collecting stories, characters, tastes, and secrets that act as ingredients for change. She learns to trust her intuition after listening to Henri Cartier-Bresson’s advice. After gazing at van Gogh’s self-portrait, Erin finds a way to be more honest. This book is about the gifts we all glean from our travels, and will inspire readers to unwrap their own images and impressions in a new way.

When the Baltic States of the former Soviet Union opened up, Allen and his girlfriend Suzanne were drawn to the prospect of traveling together once again. Setting out on a motorcycle, the two seasoned travelers rode through Germany, Denmark, and Sweden to the Arctic Circle, then on to Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland. Though they’d been together for seven years, and thought they knew what to expect from an extended road trip, they couldn’t foresee the unrelenting natural elements, shifts in once-shared dreams, or fissures in their relationship that lay ahead. Often darkly humorous, Storm reveals a couple’s love and the fragility of human connections as it recounts the journey that became a test of both riders’ physical and emotional endurance.

Book excerpt: Jason Salvador was found wandering in the wilderness, naked. He was diagnosed with severe retrograde amnesia and his case was assigned to Inspector Sandy Casey, a top Forensic Investigator. What Sandy did not know was that Jason was not suffering from amnesia. He had been sent on a secret mission from planet Omega to study life on Alpha. On no account was he to reveal his origins or interfere in the affairs of the inhabitants of the planet they called Earth. Alpha was just one of twenty three planets Omega had life-seeded millions of years ago and Jason’s twelve month tour of duty was to evaluate human civilization and the viability of the planet’s future. To Alpha From Omega is Jason’s story and records his unique observations of human kind, their culture and history. He endeavors to make sense of the best and worst of what humanity offers. He must decide whether human nature is predisposed towards good or evil and whether Alphans have the intelligence and will to save their dying planet. Jason explores Alphan customs, language, politics, religion, education and health. Despite his superior intelligence Jason struggles to make much sense of what he observes. But his journey is so much more than a detached academic study. Jason discovers what it is like to be human: to experience pain, heartbreak and disillusion, along with the joys and pleasures of love, beauty and the unpredictability of everyday life on Alpha. Jason’s saga ends in Florence when Sandy betrays him into the hands of a sinister international organization, intent on using Jason’s genius for their own eugenic master-plan. Will his origins and mission be cruelly exposed? Jason’s impact on all he meets on his journey is profound, right up to the surprise climax to his story.
