Tuk-Tuk for Two by Adam Fletcher Pdf

"The race." She said. "India. Were you serious...?" About racing a tuk-tuk one thousand kilometres through India with a woman I'd just met? No, I wasn't serious. "There's a fifty percent chance we'll die. And the flight's in two days. But if you want to, okay..." It was not a reasonable offer. But then she wasn't a reasonable woman. She was certainly unreasonably attractive. I tried not to let that sway me, which was like a hammock deciding a tornado wouldn't sway it. And driving terrified me; I hadn't done it in a decade. But if I could drive in India, I could drive anywhere. If I drive a tuk-tuk, I could drive anything. And if I said yes, I'd get to spend ten days with her. Would that be enough time to find out who she was, what she wanted, and then convince her to abandon that and want me instead? There was only one way to find out...

How much would you risk to change your life? Would you go where everyone else is trying to leave? Bestselling author Adam Fletcher did… In this unusual, hilarious travel memoir, he visits ten of the strangest places on earth. There's something he wants to know. Something no-one is telling him. To find the answer he’ll enter a blizzard in China armed with only a pack of biscuits; ponder the apocalypse in Chernobyl; be chased by the Croatian police on his way to Liberland (the world’s newest country); stalk the Sheriff of Transnistria (its most corrupt); and come face-to-face with two (dead) dictators in North Korea (its most dystopian), and much more. Packed full of interesting characters, unusual destinations, and British humour, this is an unforgettable journey with an award-winning travel writer that’s a mixture of Paul Theroux, Bill Bryson, and Douglas Adams. But this quest to understand the world (and himself) will also threaten his sanity, safety and relationship to his eccentric German girlfriend, Annett. Will he make it back safely? Will anyone be waiting when he does? What do you give the dictator that has everything? Discover the answer in Don’t Go There… The books in this series can be read in any order.

Little Tuk by Hans Christian Andersen Pdf

Little Tuk had to learn his lesson for the next day but he was far too busy with other things and so he found himself with the sun already setting, while his family did not have enough money to keep the lanterns lit at night. Would he learn his lesson in time? Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist. Celebrated for children’s literature, his most cherished fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl". His books have been translated into every living language, and today there is no child or adult that has not met Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to stage and screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films "The Little Mermaid" in 1989 and "Frozen", which is loosely based on "The Snow Queen", in 2013. Thanks to Andersen's contribution to children's literature, his birth date, April 2, is celebrated as International Children's Book Day.

When Broken Glass Floats: Growing Up Under the Khmer Rouge by Chanrithy Him Pdf

"A gut-wrenching story told with honesty, restraint, and dignity." —Ha Jin, National Book Award-winning author of Waiting Chanrithy Him felt compelled to tell of surviving life under the Khmer Rouge in a way "worthy of the suffering which I endured as a child." In a mesmerizing story, Chanrithy Him vividly recounts her trek through the hell of the "killing fields."

Death becomes a companion in the camps, along with illness. Yet through the terror, the members of Chanrithy's family remain loyal to one another, and she and her siblings who survive will find redeemed lives in America. A Finalist for the Kiriyama Pacific Rim Book Prize.
