The Eternal Soldier

Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
This is the untold story of Sallie, a dog whose life as a soldier began in a basket and ended as a Civil War hero. The pup barked and nearly tumbled out of the basket. We laughed, and immediately we knew--she was one of us already. Brindle fur with streaks of brown and black swirled all over her like a patchwork quilt. She was as pretty as an apple tree in full bloom. We called her Sallie. During the Civil War, Sallie came to the 11th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry as a gift from a townsperson, but she quickly became a favorite among her men. She marched with them from battle to battle, always guarding the unit's colors, and even met President Lincoln. And over three long days at the battle of Gettysburg, Sallie stayed with the dead, guarded their bodies, and nearly died herself from hunger and thirst as the conflict raged on. Though she fell in battle, her loyalty was rewarded years later when her men met again on the battlefield at Gettysburg to erect her likeness in bronze so that she might eternally guard them. This beautiful story about a dog's dedication and loyalty shows that bravery comes in all shapes and forms!

A Thousand Heroes and One
Author: Arthur Maia
Publisher: Editora Dialética
ISBN: 6525284430
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
This master's thesis approaches the heroes in George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire", analyzing the journeys of Eddard Stark, Quentyn Martell, Jon Snow, and Daenerys Targaryen. The application of Campbell's famous Monomyth, or Hero's Journey, did not prove particularly successful when it comes to this series, which leads to a series of ponderations about its universality and the role point of view plays in this debate. "A Song of Ice and Fire" is a masterpiece of fantasy literature that helps scholars to rethink axioms they have been taking for granted for decades, and there is still much more to be said about it.

Hero Living
Author: Rudy Reyes
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101145307
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
The star of HBO's Generation Kill and the real-life warrior from the New York Times bestseller presents his empowering philosophy. In his publishing debut, Rudy Reyes introduces his warrior philosophy of "Hero Living": part Homer, part Joseph Campbell, part Bruce Lee, and part Spider-Man. He outlines the various stages in the journey to bring forth the hero within: recognizing the hero's call, following the hero's path, and returning from the battlefield with the hero's hard- earned wisdom. Taking readers step-by-step through his program, Reyes draws from his own heroic story of how he triumphed over his harrowing childhood experiences of poverty and abandonment. Rather than giving up hope, he heeded the hero's call to live up to his full potential-first as a martial-arts champion, then as an elite warrior in the mountains of Afghanistan and sands of Iraq, and finally in his post-Marines life as a personal trainer, actor, and motivational speaker.

Pages : 202
Book Description
Spirit of Heroes Book 3 of the Heroes Series Noah "No" Argentar is the new leader of the group of heroes known as The Faction. They have defeated the Nephilim, but the Great Tribulation has begun and an even more dangerous enemy is now loose in the world-the dark gods. No's investigation of a string of seemingly unsolvable rabbi murders leads him back into contact with his estranged father. The young hero discovers there was more to his father's life than he could ever have imagined. The story of their ancestor, the patriarch Levi and his association with The Faction may hold the key to the plans of the dark gods. Walter Wilson is a disturbed teen who has been fighting invisible battles. No has already recruited two new troublesome members into The Faction, but Walter may prove to be the most dangerous of them all. Meanwhile, an alien race has been contacting Sabrina in her dreams. As she struggles to understand their history, she must determine if they're friend or foe. She knows it won't be long until they want something from her. Ultimately, No, Sabrina, and the rest of The Faction must confront the greatest riddle mankind has never solved-why was Lucifer convinced he could conquer heaven and could the dark gods succeed where Lucifer failed?
