Oil in Their Blood: the American Decades

Oil in Their Blood: the American Decades

Herman K. Trabish

2008
pokkari
This historical fiction, the second in the multivolume saga, is a matriarch's remembrance of three generations during America's rise to power in the oil world and on the world stage. From the end of The Great War through the beginning of The Cold War, with an unforgettable adventure into the heart of World War II, this story visits Paris, Roaring 20s Chicago, oil boom Oklahoma, pre-war Arabia, wartime Europe and Cold War Iran. With lean, muscular prose, and relentless storytelling, Trabish makes "OIL IN THEIR BLOOD: The American Decades" another fascination of fact, adventure, romance and melodrama, as he again drills for metaphysical and stark cold truths about love, family, war, oil and America's addiction to it.
Story for a Black Night

Story for a Black Night

Herman Schein

One dark night, an African father tells the story of another black night long ago when he, Momo, was a small boy--when he lay awake in his house in the bush, with his mother and grandmother and baby sister--when there came a knock on the door and evil crashed into his world. He tells of his strong, loving, gentle-hearted mother and her suffering to the very edge of death. And he tells of the old giant cottonwood tree that stood as a life spirit to them all. It is a story of beauty and tragedy, of a family confronting danger and dilemma, of a people enduring disorder and change. Its drama will hold the reader spellbound to the end.

This classic novel of self-discovery has inspired generations of seekers. With parallels to the enlightenment of the Buddha, Hesse's Siddhartha is the story of a young Brahmin's quest for the ultimate reality. His quest takes him from the extremes of indulgent sensuality to the rigors of ascetism and self-denial. At last he learns that wisdom cannot be taught -- it must come from one's own experience and inner struggle.

In Journey to the East "H. H." becomes a member of "The League," a timeless religious sect whose members include famous fictional and real characters, such as Plato, Mozart, Pythagoras, Paul Klee, Don Quixote, Puss in Boots, Tristram Shandy, Baudelaire, Goldmund and the ferryman Vasudeva. A branch of the group goes on a pilgrimage to the East in search of the Truth. The narrator speaks of travelling through both time and space, across geography imaginary and real.But soon the Journey runs into a crisis in a deep mountain gorge called Morbio Inferiore when Leo, apparently a simple servant, disappears, causing the group to plummet into anxiety and argument.Years later the narrator tries to write his story of the Journey, even though he has lost contact with the group and believes the League no longer exists. But the crisis in Morbio Inferiore was only a test of faith.
