Washington Territory, 1888. With contacts on the docks and in the railroad, and with a buyers' market funneling product their way, Alma Rosales and her opium-smuggling crew are making a fortune. They spend their days moving product and their nights at the Monte Carlo, the center of Tacoma's queer scene, where skirts and trousers don't signify and everyone's free to suit themselves.

Roots of Stone The Story of Those Who Came Before
Free Download Hugh G. Allison, "Roots of Stone: The Story of Those Who Came Before"
English | 2006 | ISBN: 1845961293, 1840188332 | EPUB | pages: 240 | 0.7 mb
This fascinating sweep over 2,000 years of Scotland's past mingles with a true family story stretching back over these same two millennia. It is an exploration of Scottish identity through the story of the author's ancestors-tales drawn from royal bloodlines and from crofting hearths, tales of high drama and quiet, everyday satisfactions. Kenneth MacAlpin, Macbeth, Robert the Bruce, and the Wicked Earls of Orkney all have a place. Poets, pipers, and poachers play their part, as do dukes and drovers, their stories unfolding within evocatively limned landscapes and ancient places of power. Above all, Roots of Stone is the story of "all the ones who came before-those who can still be felt in the blood when deep emotion is stirred."

Romantic Daemons in the Poetry of Blake, Shelley and Keats Beyond the Human
Free Download Nicholas Meihuizen, "Romantic Daemons in the Poetry of Blake, Shelley and Keats: Beyond the Human"
English | ISBN: 152757752X | 2024 | 467 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This book offers detailed readings of relevant works by Blake, Shelley and Keats, to bring together what is loosely termed as Hermetic tradition, British Romantic poetry and responses to the present crises regarding our life on the planet, including those linked to the notion of posthumanism. This conjunction of forces, so to speak, points beyond the boundaries erected by general sociological complacency and the acceptance of humankind as the centre of existence on Earth, to affirm the value of the non-human world and the possibilities inherent in an awareness of its subtler manifestations. Although the idea of spiritual agency might stretch the bounds of credulity, for centuries the inspired imagination has been considered daemonic; that is, it brings to artists and poets (and certain scientists, indeed) a sense of heightened consciousness, seemingly from beyond the self. Whatever causality may be at play here, it is clear that instances of an exalted outlook on life exist in abundance in the poetry of Blake, Shelley and Keats. The present book explores them and their implications.

Romain Gary A Tall Story
Free Download David Bellos, "Romain Gary: A Tall Story"
English | 2010 | ISBN: 184343170X | EPUB | pages: 518 | 2.0 mb
Airman, war hero, immigrant, law student, diplomat, novelist and celebrity spouse, Romain Gary had several lives thrust upon him by the history of the 20th century, but he also aspired to lead many more. He wrote more than two dozen books and a score of short stories under several different names in two languages, English and French, neither of which was his mother tongue. Gary had a gift for narrative that endeared him to ordinary readers, but won him little respect among critics far more intellectual than he could ever be. His varied and entertaining writing career tells a different story about the making of modern literary culture from the one we are accustomed to hearing. Born Roman Kacew in Vilna (now Lithuania) in 1914 and raised by only his mother after his father left them, Gary rose to become French Consul General in Los Angeles and the only man ever to win the Goncourt Prize twice. This biography follows the many threads that lead from Gary's wartime adventures and early literary career to his years in Hollywood and his marriage to the actress Jean Seberg. It illuminates his works in all their incarnations, and culminates in the tale of his most brilliant deception: the fabrication of a complex identity for his most successful nom de plume, Émile Ajar. In his new portrait of Gary, David Bellos brings biographical research together with literary and cultural analysis to make sense of the many lives of Romain Gary-a hero fit for our times, as well as his own.

Roger Casement's Diaries -- 1910 The Black & The White
Free Download Roger Sawyer, "Roger Casement's Diaries - 1910: The Black & The White"
English | 1997 | ISBN: 071267375X | EPUB | pages: 274 | 0.6 mb
Born in Ireland in 1864, Roger Casement acted as British Consul in Africa and Brazil, where he denounced atrocities among Congolese and Putumayo rubber workers. He was knighted in 1911 and retired from the consular service two years later. In 1914, he attempted to enlist support, in America and Germany, for the Irish nationalist cause. Convicted of high treason, he was executed in London at the age of 51. A compulsive diarist, his so-called "Black" diaries were finally released into the public domain in 1994. At the time of his trial, these diaries-detailing his promiscuous homosexual activities in Brazil-were used to discredit and condemn him. Now an accurate transcript of the "Black" Diary, published here for the first time-as is his more public "White" Diary-offers the reader the opportunity to judge its authenticity-still a matter of heated debate. Together, they take us deep into the mind of the bravest, most selfless humanitarian of the Edwardian age.
