Download or read book Broadsword Calling Danny Boy written by Geoff Dyer and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Zona, Geoff Dyer—‘one of our most original writers’ (New York)—devoted a whole book to Andrei Tarkovsky’s cult masterpiece, Stalker. Now, in this warm and funny tribute to one of his favorite movies, he revisits the action classic Where Eagles Dare. A thrilling Alpine adventure headlined by a magnificent, bleary-eyed Richard Burton and a dynamically lethargic Clint Eastwood, Where Eagles Dare is the apex of 1960s war movies, by turns enjoyable and preposterous. ‘Broadsword Calling Danny Boy’ is Dyer’s hilarious tribute to a film he has loved since childhood: it’s a scene-by-scene analysis—or should that be send-up?—taking us from the movie’s snowy, Teutonic opening credits to its vertigo-inducing climax.

Download or read book Land of Eagles written by Robin Hanbury-Tenison and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05-30 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Albania is the least-known and least developed country in Europe. It has a long, rich and troubled past, characterised by unrest and isolationism. Today, very little is known of its people - beyond those who have emigrated to other countries in Europe - and its landscapes have remained virtually untravelled for centuries. Determined to discover the country behind the stereotypes and preconceptions, Robin Hanbury-Tenison and his wife Louella rode across Albania, from Thethi in the north to the border with Greece in the south. Following in the footsteps of Byron, Edward Lear and Edith Durham they crossed some of the wildest and arrestingly beautiful landscape in Europe. Through soaring mountain ranges and hidden valleys dotted with Illyrian, Roman and Byzantine ruins, they lived simply, staying in the homes of communities untouched by the 21st century and in towns bursting with artistic creativity. They discovered an ancient land, proud and fiercely independent, struggling to emerge from the darkness of repression and poverty and from the shadows of its more popular neighbours. Land of Eagles is the story of a lyrical and dramatic journey, peppered with adventure, mishap, discovery and unexpected encounters. Adorned with the history, legends and literature of Albania and with the tales of past travellers, it is a luminous portrait of this mysterious and eccentric country, which has for too long been forgotten by Europe.

Book excerpt: Lady Efrona Drake dreaded the upcoming house party hosted by her parents. Her fathers announcement that Lord Blakely Hansford, the marquess of Sudeley, would be in attendance caused a feeling of fear and loathing to curl in her stomach. Efrona realized her time had finally run out and her parents plans to end her six-year betrothal to the insufferable future Duke of Warwick would soon result in an unwanted and miserable marriage. Oh, Lord Blake was handsome enough, gorgeous even, but Efrona detested his pompous strutting and arrogant womanizing and total disregard for anything beyond his many mistresses and absolute life of leisure. But the young man standing so still and composed in her fathers study was not at all the marquess she remembered, and rather than inviting those familiar feelings of disdain and disgust, Efrona felt her heart race and senses tingle when in his presence. What could have wrought such a change in the man? Was he merely toying with her and concealing his true nature with some twisted agenda in mind? Plagued with the constant and uncanny sensation of danger, the marquess of Sudeley fought his growing attraction for the Lady Efrona. What had he gotten himself into? He was an impostor, and he was playing with fire. But after a second attempt on his life, the marquess realizes he must do all he can to keep Efrona safe even if it means exposure and with it, the sure knowledge that he will never be able to call her his own.

Book excerpt: Yeah it is right, that words are not like a bullet, and pens are not like a pistol, but still both users are human being. In both cases, they can do good or bad things with it, it depends on each person. I believe that, when any writer using their skills in a bad way or emphasizes rather than suggest their ideas in a quiet tone, they are deterioration our universe and filling it with hate, racism, phobia, and disloyalty. We should respect our differentiation and similarity between us. at least we have one culture "we are human being", and subculture stuff must not give us a prerogative to create a mess in this world. Through our writing, we should feed people with brotherhood, hospitality, and charity... etc. I am living under four colonizers country and that is not easy. But still i have faith that we can get our Freedom by peaceful activists. Definitely, i can say that if we hated each other, we will be empty from love, charity, faith, and life. That is why we should live like a baby, love everything in this world. And live like an old man, be aware from everything in this world.

Book excerpt: "There is no death. Only a change of worlds.” —Chief Seattle [Seatlh], Suquamish Chief What do people do when their civilization is invaded? Indigenous people have been faced with disease, war, broken promises, and forced assimilation. Despite crushing losses and insurmountable challenges, they formed new nations from the remnants of old ones, they adopted new ideas and built on them, they fought back, and they kept their cultures alive. When the only possible “victory” was survival, they survived. In this brilliant follow up to Turtle Island, esteemed academic Eldon Yellowhorn and award-winning author Kathy Lowinger team up again, this time to tell the stories of what Indigenous people did when invaders arrived on their homelands. What the Eagle Sees shares accounts of the people, places, and events that have mattered in Indigenous history from a vastly under-represented perspective—an Indigenous viewpoint.

Download or read book Land of the Spotted Eagle written by Luther Standing Bear and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2021-02 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Standing Bear's dismay at the condition of his people, when after sixteen years' absence he returned to the Pine Ridge Sioux Reservation, may well have served as a catalyst for the writing of this book, first published in 1933. In addition to describing the customs, manners, and traditions of the Teton Sioux, Standing Bear also offered more general comments about the importance of native cultures and values and the status of Indian people in American society. Standing Bear sought to tell the white man just how his Indians lived. His book, generously interspersed with personal reminiscences and anecdotes, includes chapters on child rearing, social and political organization, the family, religion, and manhood. Standing Bear's views on Indian affairs and his suggestions for the improvement of white-Indian relations are presented in the two closing chapters.
