As heir to the greatest throne in the world, he hates the constrictions and superficial demands of his royal life. His father, King George, is a harsh disciplinarian, and his mother, Queen Mary, is reserved and cold. Other than his siblings, he has no friends and despairs at his isolation and loneliness. However, when unexpected circumstances bring him to Snowberry Manor, home of the four Houghton sisters, his life suddenly seems more interesting. As he secretly spends more time with Lily, the youngest of the girls, he finds himself falling hopelessly in love. But Lily is not royal, and a thousand years of precedent insist that future Queens of England are of royal blood. Worse, King George reveals he already has a princess in line for Edward to marry. Will the strength of their love be enough or will destiny tear them apart? Grounded in rich historical detail and research and brimming with delicious drama and the sweet promise of first love, The Golden Prince is a wildly entertaining novel that will mesmerize readers and leave them begging for more.

Download or read book The Zionist Ideas written by Gil Troy and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most comprehensive Zionist collection ever published, The Zionist Ideas: Visions for the Jewish Homeland--Then, Now, Tomorrow sheds light on the surprisingly diverse and shared visions for realizing Israel as a democratic Jewish state. Building on Arthur Hertzberg's classic, The Zionist Idea, Gil Troy explores the backstories, dreams, and legacies of more than 170 passionate Jewish visionaries--quadruple Hertzberg's original number, and now including women, mizrachim, and others--from the 1800s to today. Troy divides the thinkers into six Zionist schools of thought--Political, Revisionist, Labor, Religious, Cultural, and Diaspora Zionism--and reveals the breadth of the debate and surprising syntheses. He also presents the visionaries within three major stages of Zionist development, demonstrating the length and evolution of the conversation. Part 1 (pre-1948) introduces the pioneers who founded the Jewish state, such as Herzl, Gordon, Jabotinsky, Kook, Ha'am, and Szold. Part 2 (1948 to 2000) features builders who actualized and modernized the Zionist blueprints, such as Ben-Gurion, Berlin, Meir, Begin, Soloveitchik, Uris, and Kaplan. Part 3 showcases today's torchbearers, including Barak, Grossman, Shaked, Lau, Yehoshua, and Sacks. This mosaic of voices will engage equally diverse readers in reinvigorating the Zionist conversation--weighing and developing the moral, social, and political character of the Jewish state of today and tomorrow.

Download or read book The Practice and Other Stories and Selected Poems written by Jack Henry Markowitz and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-04-18 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume of The Practice and Other Stories, a collection of short stories and selected poems, I tried to write with some satiric wit and Jewish humor about working-class New York characters that I had observed during my growing- up years in Brooklyn from the 1950’s to 1970’s. I have been greatly influenced by the movies and I try to turn a satiric camera eye on the details of every day life. This collection of five short stories and 4 poems represents my continued appreciation for the short story format. Blind Man is the result of my child hood recollections of being forced to visit with various family members in the exotic (to me) borough of the Bronx. It is a story of starry eyed youth on the threshold of lost innocence and the discovery, for better or worse, of a much wider world. The Visit is a story about enduring family bonds despite conflicting world views and value systems. The Practice, which was first published in the Jewish Digest January, 1971, is a story about the confluence of mysticism, superstition and science in the life of a Brighton Beach family doctor whose old world clients see him as more of a shaman than a physician. The Fundraiser is a story about an older working man caught between his need to earn a living in a profession he has come to detest and the realization that he needs to find a better way of life. Coney Island Limey is a story based loosely on the real life antics of an eccentric chap from Liverpool who sneaks into America under rather dubious circumstances and who then tries to ingratiate himself into the good graces of a rather naïve Brooklyn family of misfits in hopes of wedding their beautiful if somewhat clueless daughter. The four poems are included in this collection because they are four of my personal favorites. In addition to several years working in sales for Rizzoli Editore, Prudential, and John Hancock, I also worked at various times a public relations consultant for various business and non-profit clients as well as a public relations consultant and writer for several governmental entities such Brooklyn Borough President Sebastian Leone and the New York State Consumer Protection Board during the administration of Gov. Hugh Carey. My resume also includes several stints in New York and New Jersey as a fundraiser for the Council of Jewish Federations and the United Jewish Appeal. After earning my MSW from Temple University, I went to work in the field of child welfare for both the New York City and City of Philadelphia Departments of Human Services. During my undergraduate years at Hamilton College, I studied creative writing with Wallace Markfield (To An Early Grave, Teitlebaum’s Window) and with Alex Haley (Roots, The Autobiography of Malcolm X).Today, I make my home in Philadelphia where I continue to work and write. As a callow youth of twenty, I dreamed of taking the literary world by storm. I was greatly influenced by the works of Mark Twain, O’Henry, Sholem Aleichem, Edgar Allen Poe, Bernard Malamud, Jack Kerouac, Mario Puzo, William Faulkner, Eugene O’Neil, William Saroyan, Philip Roth, William Shakespeare, Isaac Bashevis Singer and Wallace Markfield. I was equally moved by the poetry of such great poets as Lord Byron, John Keats, Percy Shelly, Dylan Thomas, Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud, Charles Baudelaire and Allen Ginsberg. Equally important to my development as a writer are the works of Albert Camus, Jean Paul Sartre, Andre Gide, Andre Malraux, and Eugene Ianesco. Cinematic influences include: David Lean; the French New Wave auteurs such as Jean Luc Goddard and Francois Truffaut; the comedic geniuses of Charles Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Jerry Lewis, and Jacques Tati; the American masters such as Francis Ford Copolla, Martin Scorcese, George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg. With this collection of short stories and selected poems I may not have ta

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack Henry Markowitz, born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, grew up in a magical time when Coney Island was still thought of as the entertainment capital of the world a time when the Brooklyn Dodgers still played at Ebbets Field and millions of people came to visit the fabled beaches and boardwalk, Steeplechase Park, Parachute Jump, Cyclone Roller Coaster and Nathan's Famous. In his novella Stuff Happens author Jack Henry Markowitz combines elements of fiction and non fiction in a new form he calls "Friction" - a combination of the fictitious with the real. In The Practice and Other Stories he writes short stories with satiric wit and Jewish humor about working class New York characters he had observed during his growing-up years. Greatly influenced by the movies, he often turns a satiric camera eye on the details of every day life. Bubbie and Zadie Save the Day Markowitz retells a Romanian folk tale that his mother often told to him and his siblings as a rather unusual bed time story. In Please Ask, Do Tell The Collected Poems the author presents a collection of his favorite poems that were written over a span of 40 years. With the publication of Last Call For New Poems the author presents some of his most recent works. The author resides in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he continues to work and write.

Download or read book The Ballad Of East And West written by Jeffrey F. Gale and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-03-26 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ﾠIn the fall of 1983, the events in the Old Country spoke against the joyfulness of the Jewish festivals. From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, the Iron Curtain, remained in force across the continent of Europe. The Berlin Wall, the most striking symbol of the Cold War, was very much in place. Under the iron-fist leadership of Yuri Andropov, the Soviet Union remained a police state that denied basic civil liberties and crushed all opposition to the Marxist-Leninist worldview. The Soviet government was bearing down hard upon the Jewish population. Jewish and Hebrew learning was rigorously suppressed. Books were confiscated. Hebrew teachers and other dissidents were sent to prisons and labor camps. Jewish immigration to Israel was reduced to a trickle. Refuseniks, Soviet Jews who applied for exit visas and were denied, were regularly dismissed from important, academic positions and were forced to take on menial jobs and live in abject poverty. Beginning in the fall of 1983, Rabbi Isaac Levin s congregation adopted a refusenik family. From that time onward, he embarked upon an adventure that would change the course of his rabbinate. The Ballad of East and West is a story about the power of the human spirit in combatting religious persecution. Set during the period of the Cold War, it affirms love and understanding in an age of distrust and bigotry.

Download or read book High Tide written by Maxine Domino and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-11 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May of 1986, Drew Jackson reflects on the steps-or, more likely, the missteps-that have brought him to this point in his life. He had it all: a successful international shipping company serving the offshore drilling and exploration industry, corporate jets, friendships with the rich and famous, a big house, and a trophy wife. But it's all about to end. High Tide shows one family's resolve, stamina, and tenacity in developing one of America's most important industries. The story of this visionary generation will engage those who believe in courage, in living their dreams, and in self-determination-to look the unknown in the face and not flinch. "Maxine Domino has written a richly textured, sweepingly panoramic novel that chronicles the heady growth of the oil industry in mid-twentieth century America through the story of one gifted ambitious man. His story is told with the warmth and wisdom of his rural Texas roots. After following my husband for years around the oil fields of southern Louisiana, Nigeria, and Singapore, I am impressed with the authenticity of the novel. Domino has mastered the use of the telling detail and natural dialogue. The story is memorable and the characters finely drawn, a satisfying reading experience." -Barbara Faye Munson, PhD
