1000 tulosta hakusanalla Autumn Warren
An hallucinogenic mid-life crisis/adventure, and homage to Malcolm Lowry and Hermann Hesse. An American expatriate and his Japanese wife set out on a journey to Europe to retrace a path from his youth. What lies ahead--a trip through the Magic Theater, a sudden death, an encounter with Lowry's ghost, and a descent into the Capuchin Crypt in Rome--will change their lives irrevocably. "A journey in miles and of states of mind. The reader travels through Europe with an American expatriate who recapitulates his past in a transcendental and evocative fashion...An insightful and very enjoyable read."--David Echt, author of Messenger from the Summer of Love.
"I enjoyed it -- a good read. I was an old-time fan of the A.A.F.C. and Mike Demilio captured it perfectly. Both on a football level and a fiction level, this book gave me many happy moments." -- Paul Zimmerman, Sports Illustrated A classic American story of optimism, courage and love, Autumn Fool follows Mattia DiCielo from aerial battles over WWII Germany to the brutal gridiron of 1940's professional football. Mattia holds true to his love for Anna as the world burns around him and the mafia pits his own brother against him. Through it all, he never loses his belief in family, love and the American dream.
Tired of Islamic Jihad and with Great Britain
Twenty-two-year old Rose could not be more different than her confident, determined, and beautiful older sisters. The mousy daughter of a wealthy New York entrepreneur, Rose is perfectly content to live at home while she works on her doctorate. But everything is about to change one evening when her father makes a shocking announcement-he is financially ruined. With her father emotionally crippled and devastated by the betrayal of his former financial partner, Rose has no choice but to spring into action. After convincing her sisters that they must sell everything and move halfway across the country in order to survive, Rose discovers she must be strong for not only herself, but also for everyone else. But as soon as she embarks on a new chapter and career, Rose discovers she is being followed by a mystery couple who seems to be avidly interested in her comings and goings. Rose has no idea that they believe in magic, fairy tales, and true love as much as she does. Autumn Roses is a contemporary romantic tale that teaches others that it is always better to believe in yourself first-before the magic.
