A Weasel in the Works by Ken S Green Pdf

Once again deep upon-a-time in a cold Alaskan semi-wilderness winter, a lonely light breaks a window ... It is the humble author, Ken S Green, up late with inspired fingertips fluttering quietly upon the keyboard ... For posterity and a brighter tomorrow, he plonks out adventurous words documenting the antics of our previously known Mr. Weasel. The cauldron bubbles another pot of tea and under the watchful eyes of household mousy critters, he puts another log on the fire ... Outside, the wind howls with the owls as branches snap, crackle and pop with catchy little tunes ...It is a very squirrelly time of year when Weasels yawn and dream dreams of snacks and nibbles ... There are many of these nibbles to be had and alluring possibilities beckon ... For instance, he wonders, “Is this a truly a house I see before me full of creaks and cracks and trails of crumbs?” There is only one way to find out and so, he must delve into new adventures ... He wonders if he is Weaselly enough for the job ahead ... Apparently so, for with a special card in paw, he makes a run and his activities continue to continue in this latest tail, Book Six of The Weasel Chronicles. Although our hero, Mr. Weasel, is well versed in his own species’ aversion to what has been quietly referred to as “work”, his instinct tells him there should be a Weasel in the Works somewhere, anyway. “It just stands to reason,” he thinks to himself. It is obvious to the casual observer, of course, that this must be so, and so in this All-New Tail, Mr. Weasel races off to find his rightful place in the cosmos. After winning the Winning Card the door is open and off, he goes ... To where? Nobody knows ... Only reading will tell ... So, do not fail, just read this latest enthralling Tail of our magnificent Mr. Weasel, who was brilliantly introduced in Book One ... and memorably re-introduced in Books Two and Three and Four and Five ... is once more superbly re-re-introduced again in Book Six, A Weasel in the Works.

Collected works of Jack London (illustrated) by Jack London Pdf

"The quintessential Jack London is in the on-rushing compulsive-ness of his northern stories," noted James Dickey. "Few men have more convincingly examined the connection between the creative powers of the individual writer and the unconscious drive to breed and to survive, found in the natural world. . . London is in and committed to his creations to a degree very nearly unparalleled in the composition of fiction." His story of the dog Buck (“The Call of the Wild”), who learns to survive in the bleak Yukon wilderness, is viewed by many as his symbolic autobiography. “White Fang” (1906), which London conceived as a "complete antithesis and companion piece to The Call of the Wild," is the tale of an abused wolf-dog tamed by exposure to civilization. “To Build a Fire”, a marvelously desolate short story set in the Klondike. Content: The Call of the Wild White Fang Love of Life To Build a Fire Illustrated by Valery Gogina and Lysa Caliostra.

The Weasel by Adrian Humphreys Pdf

In the world of organized crime the bosses grab the headlines, as the names Capone, Gotti, Bonnano, Cotroni and Rizzuto attest. But a crime family has many working parts and the young mobster known as The Weasel was the epitome of a crucial, invisible cog-the soldier, the muscle, the driver, the gopher. By a quirk of fate, Marvin Elkind-later The Weasel-was placed in the foster home of a tough gangster family, immersing him from the age of nine in a daring world of con men, cheats, bootleggers, loan sharks, bank robbers, leg breakers and Mafia bosses. During a Golden Age of underworld life in New York, Detroit and across Canada, The Weasel found himself working with a surprising cast of colourful characters. He befriended powerful gangsters by smuggling bottles of Scotch to their tables as a waiter at New York's famed Copacabana; he was pushed to be Jimmy Hoffa's chauffeur. But his disenchantment with the broken promises of mob life brought him into another fraternity, one offering the same adrenaline rush, danger and dark comedy he craved. After a startling confrontation, he was embraced by law enforcement, and a cop with a reputation for results. Now a career informant, The Weasel learned he was a far better fink than he ever was a crook. With his impeccable gangland pedigree, enormous girth, cold stare and sausage-like fingers adorned with chunky rings, no one questioned The Weasel's loyalty. The backroom doors were flung open and The Weasel slipped in, bringing undercover cops with him. For case after case over two decades, he worked for the FBI, U.S. Customs, Scotland Yard, RCMP, Ontario Provincial Police and other law enforcement agencies on three continents, trapping and betraying mobsters, mercenaries, spies, drug traffickers, pornographers, union fat cats and corrupt politicians. With unflinching honesty, The Weasel and many of the undercover officers he worked with revealed their successes and failures to award-winning crime reporter and best-selling author Adrian Humphreys. The Weasel is the riveting chronicle of a unique and engaging figure who lived a most dangerous and rare experience. It is a story that was never supposed to be told.

Women and Weasels by Maurizio Bettini Pdf

If you told a woman her sex had a shared, long-lived history with weasels, she might deck you. But those familiar with mythology know better: that the connection between women and weasels is an ancient and favorable one, based in the Greek myth of a midwife who tricked the gods to ease Heracles’s birth—and was turned into a weasel by Hera as punishment. Following this story as it is retold over centuries in literature and art, Women and Weasels takes us on a journey through mythology and ancient belief, revising our understanding of myth, heroism, and the status of women and animals in Western culture. Maurizio Bettini recounts and analyzes a variety of key literary and visual moments that highlight the weasel’s many attributes. We learn of its legendary sexual and childbearing habits and symbolic association with witchcraft and midwifery, its role as a domestic pet favored by women, and its ability to slip in and out of tight spaces. The weasel, Bettini reveals, is present at many unexpected moments in human history, assisting women in labor and thwarting enemies who might plot their ruin. With a parade of symbolic associations between weasels and women—witches, prostitutes, midwives, sisters-in-law, brides, mothers, and heroes—Bettini brings to life one of the most venerable and enduring myths of Western culture.

If You Ever Meet a Weasel by Belinda MacGruder Pdf

In the 1800s, the lives of persons in the entertaining industry, specifically theater, were often as dramatic as the characters lives in some plays by Samuel Beckett, Anton Chekhov, Henrik Ibsen, William Inge, Arthur Miller, Thornton Wilder and Tennessee Williams. If You Ever Meet a Weasel by Belinda MacGruder is one such dramatic story. Historical fiction, this novel details the lives of theatre people who travel from Europe to the New World. This novels main character must tolerate her fathers traditional attitudes toward marriage. She must accept the separation from her European friends when she moves to the New World. Of course, New World customs are different from European customs. As such, this novels female, main character must learn New World customs while retaining the Old World ones. Natural and manmade tragedies afflict most, if not all, of the characters in If You Ever Meet a Weasel. Highly unusual events occur. Personality conflicts vie with conflicts of interests. A famous American war disrupts the lives of some of the characters. Travel to and from the European continent stresses relationships and relatives. However, this novel contains more than tragedies, conflicts and turmoil. Tender moments occur between spouses. Understanding develops among friends. Between employers and employees, friendships emerge to last lifetimes. In dialogs and expositions, the author references historical dates and events. For the readers, these historical events emphasize characters personalities, create empathy, explain difficulties and inspire imagination. This novels timeline ends in the 21st century. From beginning to end, readers will read about various transportation methods: horse-drawn carriages; steam-powered, ocean liners; taxis and train travel. If You Ever Meet a Weasel is an insightful, but fictional, literary experience into theatrical lives.
