Eldorado and the Quest for Fortune and Glory in South America
Author: Peter O. Koch
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476684871
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
This book traces the origin of the legend of El Dorado and the various expeditions that set out to locate that mysterious land of untold wealth in South America. Motivated by both fanciful rumors of a golden city ruled by a man who coated himself daily with gold dust, and the more practical allure of a region abundant in cinnamon trees (a spice that was worth its weight in gold to Europeans), many conquistadors convinced themselves that another native empire awaited their conquest. These quests for fortune and glory would lead to an encounter with fierce female warriors who were believed to be the Amazons of ancient Greek lore, and the discovery of the mighty river later named for the legendary Amazon tribe. The first half of this book details the lesser-known accounts of German interest in locating the wealth of a golden kingdom called Xerira and an elusive passage at Venezuela's Lake Maracaibo which supposedly led to the Pacific Ocean. The second section focuses on the various Spanish efforts to discover El Dorado, each of which was eventually doomed to despair, disappointment, and death.

Respectable Street
Author: Richard Paul
Publisher: Field Books
ISBN:
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
Picture it: a street lined with perfectly manicured lawns, stately homes, and residents who wouldn't dream of leaving the house without their matching garden gloves and a carefully cultivated air of superiority. Sound familiar? Well, it's not quite as idyllic as it sounds. This is Respectable Street, a community that, let's just say, takes the whole "keeping up appearances" thing to a whole new level. The neighbors on Respectable Street are, for the most part, good people. They bake delicious cookies, volunteer at the local animal shelter, and have a knack for finding the most obscure gardening magazines. They're also, perhaps, a bit too comfortable in their routines, a tad too quick to judge, and a little too fond of whispering behind their hands whenever something new comes along. And then there's Greg. He's not from Respectable Street, but he's living there now, in a house that used to be the envy of the neighborhood before it was remodeled with a bizarre and slightly unsettling color scheme. Greg has a past, a bit of a reputation, and he doesn't exactly blend in with the crowd. But even in the most respectable of neighborhoods, life doesn't always unfold according to plan. Things get messy, people make mistakes, and secrets have a way of bubbling to the surface like a forgotten can of soda left in the sun. So, join us as we dive into the chaotic, hilarious, and unexpectedly heartwarming world of Respectable Street. We'll meet the residents, witness their quirks, and maybe even learn a thing or two about ourselves along the way. Just remember, it's not always about the outward appearances, it's about the human connections, the unspoken truths, and the unexpected laughter that binds us together, even when we're trying to pretend we're something we're not.
