April Fool's Day by Bryce Courtenay Pdf

In the end, love is more important than everything and it will conquer and overcome anything. Or that's how Damon saw it, anyway. Damon wanted a book that talked a lot about love. Damon Courtenay died on the morning of April Fool's Day. In this tribute to his son, Bryce Courtenay lays bare the suffering behind this young man's life. Damon's story is one of lifelong struggle, his love for Celeste, the compassion of family, and a fight to the end for integrity. A testimony to the power of love, April Fool's Day is also about understanding: how when we confront our worst, we can become our best. This life-affirming book will change the way you think. 'April Fool's Day is one of those rare, wholly beautiful books that lets life speak for itself without any attempt at artifice ... yet stands as a powerful work of literature ... Damon certainly lives in the pages of this vital book.' Weekend Australian 'Some books have such a powerful story to tell ... [April Fool's Day] is written with sustained rage, grief, raw love, and thank god, some dark humour ... I cannot remember when a book has moved me so deeply.'

April Fool's Day by Josip Novakovich Pdf

Ivan Dolinar is born in Tito's Yugoslavia on April Fool's Day, 1948 -- the auspicious beginning of a life that will be derailed by backfiring good intentions in a world of propaganda and paranoia. At age nineteen, an innocent prank cuts the young Croatian's budding medical career short and lands him in a notorious labor camp. Released on the eve of civil war, Ivan is drafted into the wrong army, becoming a pawn in an absurd conflict in which the rules and loyalties shift abruptly and without warning. But even in a world gone mad, one course of action remains eminently sane: survival. Told with bitingly dark humor and a deep tenderness, April Fool's Day is both a devastating political satire and a razor-sharp parody of war.

The Guardian Book of April Fool's Day by Martin Wainwright Pdf

There was the legendary “Spaghetti Harvest” on BBC Panorama in the late 50s, and the Guardian’s entire Travel supplement in the 80s devoted to the imaginary island of Sans Seriffe. And these days the 1st April is not complete without an obligatory spoof story in all the national newspapers, on the Today programme, whether it be a Mail exclusive about the Queen going to the bookies or the Independent’s more esoteric revelation that the theme-tune to The Archers was to be spiced up and modernised by Brian Eno. Now, for the first time, Martin Wainwright tells the history of how April Fool’s Day first came about, when it developed into a media phenomenon, and collects all the best examples from across the world of April Fool spoofs over the years. He also looks at the effects of the best tall stories – how people were taken in – and finds the most laughably incredible stories published on April 1st that were actually perfectly true. The author will ensure that at least one story quoted as an April Fool spoof from the past is actually a flagrant invention of his own to fool the reader. In hardback this book reprinted quickly, and was advertised and promoted heavily by the Guardian in the run up to 1 April. It is now reissued in paperback with an eye-catching cover.Martin Wainwright is Northern Editor of the Guardian. He edited A Lifetime of Mountains: the Best of A. Harry Griffin’s Country Diary, A Gleaming Landscape: 100 Years of the Guardian Country Diary, and wrote A Coast-to-Coast Walk, all published by Aurum. He lives in Leeds.
