Ed Jared's memoir is a big story. For one thing, it's the memoir of a member of the generation Tom Brokaw called "the greatest generation any society has produced." Ed Jared served America as a pilot in World War II; he was part of the China, Burma, India Hump operation, flying over the Himalayas to supply troops in China. His insider's observations of day-to-day life as a Hump pilot as well as extreme emergencies, pranks, and personalities are set in his overall awareness of the realities of the danger he faced and his always firm grasp of how to achieve his goal: do his job and survive the experience. If all we had of Ed Jared's life story were his Hump tales, we would feel he had had quite a life indeed. But there is so much more. When he returned home after the war, he made a good life for himself and his family, beginning with flying and then developing other areas of expertise as well. He worked hard at whatever he found to do in the Gainesville, Georgia, area where he settled: flying, training pilots, economic development. A most illuminating moment in this part of his story occurs when he is offered a job as a corporate pilot by Jesse Jewell, a prominent poultry man. Jared made it clear that he did not want to sit and wait at the airport while the passengers went off to attend to business. He wanted to be a part of the action, too, learning and gaining experience. And that's what he did, building a fine career in the world-wide military resale market, while at the same time continuing his military service in the United States Air Force Reserve. Perhaps most importantly, he also managed to achieve his dream of establishing a stable life for his family with a place his children could call home. Ed Jared's memoir is a national and personal history, a fascinating story and a primer for how to succeed in business and live a good life.
Edmond Manning, author of "The Lost and Founds" series has made a few mistakes in his life. Well, more than a few. But with his characteristic ability to embrace the weird and the wonderful, he prefers to think of them as "experiences." Why label an adventure a regret if everything works out in the end? Whether getting high from an airplane stranger's candy, attempting to deceive the DMV with magic, or discovering he might be the central figure in an unfolding teen horror flick, Manning reflects on a lifetime of questionable decisions in this memoir and confessional. In the essay, "Dear Penthouse, " Manning ponders the appropriate response to a late-night booty call from an irritating neighbor. "The Best New York Sandwich" documents his day being homeless in New York City. Soft reflections about "The Final Blessing" from his father, and thoughts of growing older, are interspersed with odd tales of a family that believes in "Moon Recession Birthdays." Manning leaps from personal lunacy to handling homophobia to sheer wonder at the beauty of everyday people which makes for a giggly, surprising, and occasionally sweet-sad journey through a gay man's collected tales of a life filled with glorious mistakes.

The Great Depression created difficulties for almost all the people of Fort Kent, Maine. Most of the people were Frenchmen with a few Englishmen, and one Native Americans (Dennis' and Trombleys'). The French came from Nova Scotia and Quebec. Most of the Frenchmen had never gone to school. They had to learn to survive. They suffered many hardships and mistreatments in the war between France and England. The English came from downstate and seemed to have all the money to start businesses, especially cutting the virgin timber. We were thankful that our land and forest produced plants and animals to help us survive. My family and neighbors endured. Edmond Theriault was born on March 22, 1923 in Fort Kent, Maine. He was the fourth son of Eva and Joseph Theriault. They raised a family of fourteen children during the Great Depression (1929-1939) and World War II (1939-1945). Edmond's mother was proud of her large family and said she would rather have her sons fighting for her than anyone else. All the boys in the family served in the military during World War II. Eli joined the Army Air Corps, went to flight school, and was made a B-17 pilot. Alban joined the Infantry and spent one and a half years as a platoon leader in Europe. Edmond joined the Army Air Corps, went to flight school, and spent twenty-two months in the Pacific Theater as a B-17 pilot. Alire (Pete) joined the Air Force. Donald served for over thirty years in the Air Force.

After discovering a blog revealing a mighty tribe where "every man was the one true king and every woman was the one true queen..." thirty-five-year-old, unemployed Daniel realizes he's tired of being a Lost King. He wants more. But more what? His quest to uncover the secret will drag him beyond his comfortable seclusion, into the cornfields of DeKalb and thunderous, chaotic New York City. After a hotel hookup with a sensual Englishman, the murderous rage Daniel fought to repress is finally unleashed. In the final story arc in The Lost and Founds series, Daniel faces the ultimate choice: what would you risk to become a Found King?

Anterior al universo que dise Marcel Proust en su novela, estuvo la vida de los salones y caf parisinos que Edmund y Jules de Goncourt registraron en las p ginas de su Journal. Ambos hermanos recrearon un mundo (maravilloso en su totalidad, malevolente en los detalles) que anunci el tiempo perdido proustiano. Para los Goncourt el registro de la vida literaria y del acontecer ordinario se desprend a del ocio, de las horas que hay que perder: "No pierdan el tiempo ni en llorar el pasado ni en llorar el porvenir. Vivan las horas, los minutos". Para llegar a Combray, primero hay que educarse en las resonancias del Journal.

Chantecler is a verse play in four acts written by Edmond Rostand. The play is notable in that all the characters are farmyard animals including the main protagonist, a chanticleer, or rooster. The play centers on the theme of idealism and spiritual sincerity, as contrasted with cynicism and artificiality. Much of the play satirizes modernist artistic doctrines from Rostand's romanticist perspective. Rostand was inspired to write the play after exploring the farming countryside around his new home, Villa Arnaga, in the Basque Country of the French Pyrenees, where he had come to live for health reasons after the phenomenal success of Cyrano de Bergerac and L'Aiglon. Although he began writing the play in 1902, its completion was repeatedly delayed due to Rostand's perfectionism and illnesses.
