Author: Marc R. Williams
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 198452626X
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
This is my true story about how a young man turned his emotional and learning disabilities that cast him as a failure in society into natural advantages. He overcame one challenge after another in his quest to fulfill his dream to fly. At the age of 17 he earned his Private Pilots Certificate, at 18 his Commercial and at 19 he becomes one of the Army’s youngest helicopter aircraft commanders in Vietnam. He endures the horrors of war and returns home, now much older than his 20 years. He continues his love of flight as a civilian. After years of flight, his past comes back to haunt him. He now must face his greatest challenges yet: Cancer brought on by Agent Orange and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). The FAA grounds him. Is there one more fight left in him, “for the love of flight?"

On Form
Author: Angela Leighton
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 019156432X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
What is form? Why does form matter? In this imaginative and ambitious study, Angela Leighton assesses not only the legacy of Victorian aestheticism, and its richly resourceful keyword, 'form', but also the very nature of the literary. She shows how writers, for two centuries and more, have returned to the idea of form as something which contains the secret of art itself. She tracks the development of the word from the Romantics to contemporary poets, and offers close readings of, among others, Tennyson, Pater, Woolf, Yeats, Stevens, and Plath, to show how form has provided the single most important way of accounting for the movements of literary language itself. She investigates, for instance, the old debate of form and content, of form as music or sound-shape, as the ghostly dynamic and dynamics of a text, as well as its long association with the aestheticist principle of being 'for nothing'. In a wide-ranging and inventive argument, she suggests that form is the key to the pleasure of the literary text, and that that pleasure is part of what literary criticism itself needs to answer and convey.

The Fall of Troy
Author: Quintus Smyrnaeus
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 9361424238
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
The ancient Greek epic poem "The Fall of Troy" is credited to Quintus Smyrnaeus, who is thought to have lived in the fourth century AD. The poem, which is a continuation of Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey," tells the story of what happens after Hector dies and Troy falls during the Trojan War. The story contains a number of incidents, such as the Greeks' creation of the wooden horse, the horse's penetration of Troy, and the city's subsequent sacking. Quintus Smyrnaeus adds new information and viewpoints while elaborating on the people and events featured in Homer's poems. The poem also has tragic, romantic, and divine intervention themes. "The Fall of Troy" is noteworthy for its attempt to close the gap between later, more contemporary writing and the Homeric epics. The poem connects the classical Greek epics with the Roman and mediaeval traditions, reflecting a continuance of the epic tradition. “The Fall of Troy" is an important part of the Trojan War story and has influenced succeeding literary traditions, even though it is not as well-known as Homer's writings.

Ghosts I Have Seen, and Other Psychic Experiences
Author: Violet Tweedale
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
I was about six years old when my family moved to a brand new house in Claremont Crescent, that had just been erected on the outskirts of Edinburgh. There were still some green fields unbuilt upon, and some fine old trees left standing close to us, and those were still included in a triangular group of three grand old Manors—Broughton Hall, Powder Hall, and Logie Green. All three had the reputation of being badly haunted. The first named stood almost within a stone's throw of our end of the Crescent, and was occupied by an ancient family named Walker, who had held the property for generations. They still existed as a very charming relic of Scotch antiquity, and they had always been friends of our family.
