Book Description
A dilapidated seaside villa whose interior opens upon a landscape of memory and madness is the setting for this story about the ways our homes come to define our personalities. The narrator of Villa Bunker receives letters, dozens of them, written by his mother in an isolated seaside villa, which tell of his parents’ troubles in this uninhabitable house, which is soon to become a kind of labyrinth roamed by memories and long-buried feelings. At first the narrator’s parents fret most about the villa’s physical deterioration, but soon their own psychological deterioration becomes the inescapable focus of their stories. Is their joint madness due to the villa’s aberrant architecture? Or is the isolation of the villa to blame? Or were they mad all along? The narrator is left to decipher the clues, himself in turn becoming prey to his own house, which like memory and time, seems in a state of permanent metamorphosis.

Young Benjamin Franklin
Author: Nick Bunker
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 1101872802
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
In this new account of Franklin's early life, Pulitzer finalist Nick Bunker portrays him as a complex, driven young man who elbows his way to success. From his early career as a printer and journalist to his scientific work and his role as a founder of a new republic, Benjamin Franklin has always seemed the inevitable embodiment of American ingenuity. But in his youth he had to make his way through a harsh colonial world, where he fought many battles with his rivals, but also with his wayward emotions. Taking Franklin to the age of forty-one, when he made his first electrical discoveries, Bunker goes behind the legend to reveal the sources of his passion for knowledge. Always trying to balance virtue against ambition, Franklin emerges as a brilliant but flawed human being, made from the conflicts of an age of slavery as well as reason. With archival material from both sides of the Atlantic, we see Franklin in Boston, London, and Philadelphia as he develops his formula for greatness. A tale of science, politics, war, and religion, this is also a story about Franklin's forebears: the talented family of English craftsmen who produced America's favorite genius.

Bunker
Author: Bradley Garrett
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501188569
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Thought-provoking and eerily prescient, bunker offers a whirlwind tour of "prepper" communities around the world, In the United States alone, nearly twelve million people are prepared to Survive for thirty days without access to food, water, or power. Millions more have started prepping for the sorts of emergencies-blackouts, wildfires, civil unrest-that they hear about in the news every day. Bradley Garrett crossed four continents to meet preppers building panic rooms and backyard survival chambers, stockpiling supplies, stuffing go-bags, hiding inflatable rafts, rigging mobile "bugout" vehicles, and burrowing deep into the earth. He's taken the pulse of a new global movement and returned with a brilliant, original, and deeply disturbing diagnosis of the way we now live. Whenever social and political systems fail to produce credible narratives of stability, Garrett argues, prepping is a rational response. And those who live in dread-of the next pandemic, of nuclear brinksmanship, or of an accelerating climate crisis-are responding to it predict-ably, reasonably even, by hunkering down. Book jacket.
