io vagabondo by WR Woodbury Pdf

The story of a gay man's life - from the middle of the last century until the start of the new millennium, this book begins in a small town in Canada. Caught between the valuable lessons of living on the land, and the excitement of the city, the young man goes from a disastrous start at university, to thirty years of wide-eyed adventures in Canada, England, France, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Australia, and California. The book is populated by a collage of characters from artists, prostitutes, musicians, countesses, astrologers, and movie makers. The author’s emotional adventures take him from a life of single hedonism, to serial monogamy, marriage, divorce, and out through an open window into a sophisticated world of international connectedness where he meets an unexpected new love. Through the travel and turmoil, the author has worked as a bank clerk, draftsman, taxi driver, highway surveyor, gardener, property caretaker, night auditor, and delivery driver. As an observant vagabond, he has gained valuable insights into life, and he hopes the reader will hang on for the ride as he stumbles toward enlightenment.

101 ALBUMS YOU NEED TO HEAR BEFORE I DIE by Martin Vengadesan Pdf

Great music is about so much more than just the end product. Very often the stories behind the songs and their creators can be as scintillating as the music itself. This book is about more than just 101 slabs of music you are being advised to listen to. It's about the also-rans and stars that burned out too fast. As a music journalist for many years, the author managed to meet many of his idols - and they provided interesting insights as well as moments of humour. In the first of two volumes, we look at the timeless stories the musicians were telling, and just why they deserve to live forever.

Story of My People by Edoardo Nesi Pdf

Winner of the 2011 Strega Prize, this blend of essay, social criticism, and memoir is a striking portrait of the effects of globalization on Italy’s declining economy. Starting from his family’s textile factory in Prato, Tuscany, Edoardo Nesi examines the recent shifts in Italy’s manufacturing industry. Only one generation ago, Prato was a thriving industrial center that prided itself on craftsmanship and quality. But during the last decade, cheaply made goods—produced overseas or in Italy by poorly paid immigrants—saturated the market, making it impossible for Italian companies to keep up. In 2004 his family was forced to sell the textile factory. How this could have happened? Nesi asks, and what are the wider repercussions of losing businesses like his family’s, especially for Italian culture? Story of My People is a denouncement of big business, corrupt politicians, the arrogance of economists, and cheap manufacturing. It’s a must-read for anyone seeking insight into the financial crisis that’s striking Europe today.

Backpack Ambassadors by Richard Ivan Jobs Pdf

Even today, in an era of cheap travel and constant connection, the image of young people backpacking across Europe remains seductively romantic. In Backpack Ambassadors, Richard Ivan Jobs tells the story of backpacking in Europe in its heyday, the decades after World War II, revealing that these footloose young people were doing more than just exploring for themselves. Rather, with each step, each border crossing, each friendship, they were quietly helping knit the continent together. From the Berlin Wall to the beaches of Spain, the Spanish Steps in Rome to the Pudding Shop in Istanbul, Jobs tells the stories of backpackers whose personal desire for freedom of movement brought the people and places of Europe into ever-closer contact. As greater and greater numbers of young people trekked around the continent, and a truly international youth culture began to emerge, the result was a Europe that, even in the midst of Cold War tensions, found its people more and more connected, their lives more and more integrated. Drawing on archival work in eight countries and five languages, and featuring trenchant commentary on the relevance of this period for contemporary concerns about borders and migration, Backpack Ambassadors brilliantly recreates a movement that was far more influential and important than its footsore travelers could ever have realized.

Datemi la guerra by Marco Tamborrino Pdf

Nel 1938, un ragazzino, Luca, conosce Alex, di due anni più grande. A volte insieme, a volte separati, affronteranno i primi anni della guerra mondiale in maniera diversa. Si innamoreranno entrambi della stessa ragazza, ma per uno dei due la vità non è che sofferenza e morte, perché nel suo sangue, come nel sangue di suo padre, scorre la follia. Sia Luca che Alex possiedono un passato famigliare travagliato, e la guerra farà perdere loro ogni convinzione e ogni speranza, portandoli all'annichilimento totale, all'impossibilità di un riscatto. Tra le macerie delle città devastate dalle bombe, le vite dei due ragazzi e di altre persone toccate dalla tragedia umana che è la guerra finiranno per convergere in un'unica silenziosa richiesta. La pace.
