The Tumult and the Shouting by Grantland Rice Pdf
50 YEARS OF SPORT AS SEEN BY THE CHAMPION OF ALL SPORTS WRITERS ‘This isn’t, praise be, a formal book. It is no literary exercise in balanced sentences and the painfully selected word. This is Grant Rice talking, rambling happily along, tell again in his wonderful way the wonderful stories he loved to tell. ‘They are great tales of men and deeds, told with affection and warmth and gentle humour. Yet it isn’t the stories of the great which make this a great book. It’s the way Granny himself shines through the hurrying pages, his wisdom, his kindness, his faith. He wrote of men he loved and deeds he admired and never knew how much bigger he was than his finest hero.’—Red Smith, N.Y. Herald Tribune Book Review ‘THE TUMULT AND THE SHOUTING is Grantland Rice as we of the Fourth Estate knew and loved him for so many years. The book is a must, especially for the male animals in every American family.’—Ed Sullivan ‘THE TUMULT AND THE SHOUTING is the ‘living’ Grantland Rice I knew and loved...I can’t think of a finer present to anyone who loves sport—or even loves good writing.’—Bill Cunningham, The Boston Herald ‘Folded into THE TUMULT AND THE SHOUTING are some of Granny’s verses. About sports and war and loved ones. About all the things that were dear to his great heart. Buy it for yourself. Buy it for your friends. Buy it for your enemies, the bums, who on reading it will learn, maybe for the first time, what it means to be a right guy.’—Frank Graham, N.Y. Journal American ‘Rice was the champion writer and the champion of sports writers. He ranked at the top of his profession for half a century and THE TUMULT AND THE SHOUTING is his final contribution to the sports literature of his native land.’—Harry Salsinger, Detroit (Mich.) News

THE BOOK OF SWEDISH FAIRY TALES by Anon E. Mouse Pdf
This volume of 28 Swedish fairy-tales represents a careful choice of the best examples of Swedish lore and tales. Infused with the Swedish culture, they are the most colorful and entertaining tales to be found, for the fairy-tales of Scandinavia, Sweden, Denmark and Norway, have a distinct local color of their own. Herein you will find 28 children’s stories like the delightful "Lasse, My Thrall", and "The Princess and the Glass Mountain." Of course there are stories of princesses being rescued from ogres and giants like in the story of “Silverwhite And Lillwacker.” There are also stories of the low-born lad who makes good and becomes a king, like that of “The Mount Of The Golden Queen.” But you can’t have a book of tales from the far Northern realms without a story about a “giant, troll and werewolf”, for this is also the land of Beowulf the Vikings. We could carry on waxing lyrical for a lot longer but will leave the discovery of these wonderfully, magical tales to you and your kin. As such, you are invited to download and read this enchanting volumes of Swedish folk and fairy lore.

The Pegasus and Orne Bridges by Neil Barber Pdf
This WWII history chronicles a daring airborne mission that was vital to the success of Operation Tonga, D-Day, and the liberation of France. When the British Army landed on Sword Beach in Normandy, their only exit eastward required passage across the River Orne and the Caen Canal. But the two bridges fording these waterways—the Pegasus and Orne Bridges—were heavily guarded and wired for demolition in case of a Germans retreat. Capturing these bridges would be next to impossible. Operation Deadstick, conducted by Major John Howard and his company of Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, was a superbly daring, brilliantly executed 'coup de main' assault. The glider-borne troops not only seized both bridges but faced a ferocious and prolonged German counterattack. Neil Barber, a military historian and expert in British airborne operations, uses extensive personal accounts to tell this incredible story of Allied victory. Covering events and operations from Ranville in the East to Benouville in the West, Pegasus and Orne Bridges chronicles the combat of the 7th, 12th and 13th Parachute Battalions and reinforcements such as the Commandos, seaborne engineers and the Warwicks.

Captains and the Kings by Taylor Caldwell Pdf
New York Times Bestseller: Sweeping from the 1850s through the early 1920s, this towering family saga examines the price of ambition and power. Joseph Francis Xavier Armagh is twelve years old when he gets his first glimpse of the promised land of America through a dirty porthole in steerage on an Irish immigrant ship. His long voyage, dogged by tragedy, ends not in the great city of New York but in the bigoted, small town of Winfield, Pennsylvania, where his younger brother, Sean, and his infant sister, Regina, are sent to an orphanage. Joseph toils at whatever work will pay a living wage and plans for the day he can take his siblings away from St. Agnes’s Orphanage and make a home for them all. Joseph’s journey will catapult him to the highest echelons of power and grant him entry into the most elite political circles. Even as misfortune continues to follow the Armagh family like an ancient curse, Joseph takes his revenge against the uncaring world that once took everything from him. He orchestrates his eldest son Rory’s political ascent from the offspring of an Irish immigrant to US senator. And Joseph will settle for nothing less than the pinnacle of glory: seeing his boy crowned the first Catholic president of the United States. Spanning seventy years, Captains and the Kings, which was adapted into an eight-part television miniseries, is Taylor Caldwell’s masterpiece about nineteenth- and early twentieth-century America, and the grit, ambition, fortitude, and sheer hubris it takes for an immigrant to survive and thrive in a dynamic new land.
