Book Description
This is a sequel to the book "What should I Call You Mate?" ------------------------------------------------ Everything that once started with a prophecy a long time ago, will now end with the same. But like always, prices have to pay. Fate will be defeated indeed, but in what cost, no one knows yet. The lost one will surely fight for the long-desired vengeance. But then again, will it be enough to bring the two souls together, just like they were before? ------------------------------------------------- "Momma..." Those innocent eyes of my one-year-old daughter welled up right after she fell on the ground, as she was trying to walk on her own, attempting to come to me. I had to leave her alone to play by herself, cause I needed to work for the sake of living, as there was no one to look after both of us. I was about to go to her to lift her up from the floor to give a warm hug, so that she becomes happy once again, but it seemed I could not. Cause even before I could hold her, two muscular hands lifted my daughter up only to hold her tight close to his chest, carefully. She was looking so tiny in his arms, but the most important question was that who is he? He seemed familiar somehow, but I am sure that I have never seen him before. "Momma...Dadda?" Eva, my little daughter babbled, all of a sudden. "No. No. He is not. Come here." I stretched my hands to take Eva back, but the man did not let me. Instead, he chose to say something strange, "I thought I have lost you, Emm. Both of you." "I am sorry, but you might have mistaken, I am not Emm. I am Ange."

Farthest North
Author: Fridjtof Nansen
Publisher: Modern Library
ISBN: 0375505334
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 545
Book Description
In 1893 Nansen set sail in the Fram, a ship specially designed and built to be frozen into the polar ice cap, withstand its crushing pressures, and travel with the sea's drift closer to the North Pole than anyone had ever gone before. Experts said such a ship couldn't be built and that the voyage was tantamount to suicide. This brilliant first-person account, originally published in 1897, marks the beginning of the modern age of exploration. Nansen vividly describes the dangerous voyage and his 15-month-long dash to the North Pole by sledge. An unforgettable tale and a must-read for any armchair explorer.

Author: Fridtjof Nansen
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : "Fram" Expedition
Languages : en
Pages : 672
Book Description
In September of 1893, Norwegian zoologist Fridtjof Nansen and a crew manned the schooner Fram, intending to drift, frozen in the Arctic pack-ice, to the North Pole. When it became clear that they would miss the pole, Nansen and his companion Hjalmar Johansen struck off by themselves. Racing the shrinking pack-ice, they attempted, by dog-sled, to go "farthest north." They survived a winter in a moss hut eating walruses and polar bears, and the public assumed they were dead. In the spring of 1896, after three years of trekking, and having made it to within four degrees of the pole, they returned to safety. Nansen's narrative stands with the best writing on polar exploration.

Author: Graham Jones
Publisher: Omnibus Press
ISBN: 085712417X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Last Shop Standing: Whatever Happened To Record Shops? documents the sad disappearance of a cultural icon from our high streets. Once a thriving industry, the UK has gone from having over 2000 independent record shops in the 1980s to just 269 in 2009. Written by Graham Jones, who has worked in the distribution industry for over 25 years as a record company salesman, this book presents a snapshot of a business that is under threat of going the same way as the stamp shop, the coin shop and the candlestick maker. Jones’ speaks to 50 record shop owners to see why they have survived while nearly two thousand others have closed. These interviews form the basis of the book, which celebrates the rich social history in which the record shop is steeped. In 2012 Last Shop Standing was made into an award winning 50 minute film, featuring interviews with Johnny Marr, Norman Cook, Richard Hawley, Paul Weller and Billy Bragg, alongside many of the record shop owners featured in the book. Given a new tagline – ‘the rise, fall and rebirth of the independent record shop’, the film has been screened around the globe and was an official selection at the Chicago International Movies & Music Festival in 2013.
