Round the Bend by Alistair McGuinness Pdf

Three things happened simultaneously. The lioness charged, Alistair fled across the parched savannah and his wife screamed for him to run faster. Stuffed deep inside his tattered rucksack was a guidebook containing advice on what to do in wildlife emergencies, which he planned to read if he survived the next thirty seconds. Future plans to climb Kilimanjaro, teach English in the Amazon and live in Australia were temporarily forgotten as he turned to face the pouncing lioness, thinking back to the words of advice from his mother-in-law. “Don’t do anything silly, and look after Francine.” From deep underground in a remote Bolivian mine to the scorched Australian outback, Round the Bend is an adventure travel story. It explores the turbulence of redundancy, the excitement of travel, the anguish of leaving home and the challenges of starting a new life in Australia.

Jerusalem by Alan Moore Pdf

The New York Times bestseller from the author of Watchmen and V for Vendetta finally appears in a one-volume paperback. Begging comparisons to Tolstoy and Joyce, this “magnificent, sprawling cosmic epic” (Guardian) by Alan Moore—the genre-defying, “groundbreaking, hairy genius of our generation” (NPR)—takes its place among the most notable works of contemporary English literature. In decaying Northampton, eternity loiters between housing projects. Among saints, kings, prostitutes, and derelicts, a timeline unravels: second-century fiends wait in urine-scented stairwells, delinquent specters undermine a century with tunnels, and in upstairs parlors, laborers with golden blood reduce fate to a snooker tournament. Through the labyrinthine streets and pages of Jerusalem tread ghosts singing hymns of wealth and poverty. They celebrate the English language, challenge mortality post-Einstein, and insist upon their slum as Blake’s eternal holy city in “Moore’s apotheosis, a fourth-dimensional symphony” (Entertainment Weekly). This “brilliant . . . monumentally ambitious” tale from the gutter is “a massive literary achievement for our time—and maybe for all times simultaneously” (Washington Post).

Around the Next Bend by Bob Shanks Pdf

In "Around the Next Bend" Bob Shanks leads us, with many touches of wry dry Tennessee humor, through his half-century of trout fishing, from the cool rush and roar of the Great Smokies' streams to Montana's big-skied trout waters. The engaging book will appeal not only to dedicated anglers, but also to non-fishing lovers of the outdoors for whom a fly rod is just a skinny hiking stick.-Mart Baldwin, PhD, author of "Drifting the River: Growing Up Wild in the South," numerous travel essays, and a guide to off-the-path places in the CarolinasBob Shanks is a soft-spoken Southern gentleman. His decades-long love of both fishing and his fishing friends illuminates the pages of his book. These are the kinds of memories good friends swap over a fine Tennessee sipping whiskey at the end of a long day of fishing. Bob's stories are humorous, heartwarming, and sometimes heart-breaking as with losing the battle to save the Little Tennessee River from destruction at the hands of the TVA vandals. Anyone who loves fishing and fishing stories told with warmth and charm will enjoy this book. -Richard Lessner, PhD, Executive Director Madison River Foundation, Ennis, MontanaI've enjoyed fly fishing with Bob Shanks and cherished every encounter. I shared some of his favorite runs on Montana's Ruby River where he insisted that I take the first cast with a big hopper under a grassy overhang. He would suggest a spot to cast, and the spot would produce. I know you will treasure Bob's stories, and you'll get to know him as I do: as a true sportsman, a fly angler of grace, knowledge and merit, and a genuine, gracious southern gentleman. The words, the language, the generosity of spirit in these pages: pure Robert Shanks. -Juni Fisher, Songwriter Red Geetar Records recording artist

I'm Going Around the Bend - Are You, Too? by Mirjam Indermaur & Dr. Denise Hürlimann Pdf

In the morning, Mirjam Indermaur had given her sons the same stereotypical lecture about the fact that a dishwasher does not empty itself and that shoes do not clear away themselves. A few hours later, her priorities shifted radically. Her husband had been diagnosed with cancer. Mirjam Indermaur's emotional world was upside down and she knew that she would not be able to get through this fundamental shock without professional help. Having been suffering from exhaustion depression for a long time anyway, she looked for competent psychotherapeutic support. She found this with Denise Hürlimann, a psychotherapist, with whom she felt cared for from the first moment. After the therapy, Mirjam Indermaur developed the idea of ​​writing a book about the path the two women had taken together. Once she, the patient, would write, then again Denise Hürlimann, the specialist. This is how - in mutual storytelling - a read-along psychotherapy emerged. A book that not only gives a deep insight into the world of psychotherapy, but also helps to develop strategies for surviving difficult times and even to find laughter again..

The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters Pdf

From the multi-award-winning and bestselling author of The Night Watch and Fingersmith comes an astonishing novel about love, loss, and the sometimes unbearable weight of the past. In a dusty post-war summer in rural Warwickshire, a doctor is called to see a patient at lonely Hundreds Hall. Home to the Ayres family for over two centuries, the once grand house is now in decline, its masonry crumbling, its garden choked with weeds. All around, the world is changing, and the family is struggling to adjust to a society with new values and rules. Roddie Ayres, who returned from World War II physically and emotionally wounded, is desperate to keep the house and what remains of the estate together for the sake of his mother and his sister, Caroline. Mrs. Ayres is doing her best to hold on to the gracious habits of a gentler era and Caroline seems cheerfully prepared to continue doing the work a team of servants once handled, even if it means having little chance for a life of her own beyond Hundreds. But as Dr. Faraday becomes increasingly entwined in the Ayreses’ lives, signs of a more disturbing nature start to emerge, both within the family and in Hundreds Hall itself. And Faraday begins to wonder if they are all threatened by something more sinister than a dying way of life, something that could subsume them completely. Both a nuanced evocation of 1940s England and the most chill-inducing novel of psychological suspense in years, The Little Stranger confirms Sarah Waters as one of the finest and most exciting novelists writing today.
