The riveting, revelatory, and sole authorized account of the critical first decades of Tennessee Williams's life. Tennessee Williams, author of such indelible masterpieces as The Glass Menagerie and A Streetcar Named Desire, is considered by many to be the greatest literary artist of the American theater. Tom is Lyle Leverich's definitive account based on his exclusive access to letters, diaries, unpublished manuscripts, and family documents of Williams's early life and of the events that shaped this most autobiographical of dramatists. It tells the story of the marital traumas of his bullying father and overly protective mother, the mental disorders that institutionalized his beloved sister Rose, his stalled academic career, and his confused sexuality and early successes as a writer; and it leaves Thomas Lanier Williams on the brink of fame with The Glass Menagerie and his transformation into the celebrated persona of Tennessee.
Appearing no different than the average man who worked hard for a living, he nicely blends in with his neighbours and co-workers. Although socially awkward at times, nobody takes notice of his peculiarities, but beneath his somewhat normal veneer resides a pulsating black heart, bent upon cruelty and domination. Contains adult content. Composed in captivating narrative and compelling dialogue, the story flows at a brisk tempo. The plot contains more than a few strategically placed unexpected twists which should maintain the reader's interest throughout. The characters are presented in a multi-dimensional fashion revealing the intricacies of their unique personalities and individual agendas. Navigating the plot to a well conceived conclusion, the author could leave the reader with the sense of time well spent in the reading of this story
Tom is a cat in trouble. The worst possible kind of trouble: he's been turned into a human. Transformed by an irascible old magician in need of a famulus -- a servant and an assistant, Tom is as good at being a servant as a cat ever is. The assistant part is more to Tom's taste: he rather fancies impressing the girl cats and terrorizing the other toms by transforming himself into a tiger. But the world of magic, a vanished and cursed princess, and a haunted skull, and a demon in the chamber-pot, to say nothing of conspiring wizards and the wickedest witch in the west, all seem to be out to kill Tom. He is a cat coming to terms with being a boy, dealing with all this. He has a raven and a cheese as... sort of allies.And of course there is the princess.If you were looking for 'War and Peace' this is the wrong book for you. It's a light-hearted and gently satirical fantasy, full of terrible puns and... cats.
Tom non come gli altri miei racconti. Non un racconto di fantascienza. Non saprei definire il suo genere. Ma forse non nemmeno un racconto. Forse qualcosa di pi o di diverso, forse esso stesso un'avvertenza. Se non volete farvi domande alla fine della lettura, allora vi consiglio di non leggerlo. Tutto il tempo che ho dedicato alla sua scrittura e alla preparazione di questa edizione stato pervaso da un'atmosfera che non saprei spiegare. Cos come non ho saputo spiegare come abbia fatto a perdere il treno che mi avrebbe condotto a Milano assieme con decine di miei colleghi, costringendomi cos a prendere da solo il successivo. Devo dire, per , che in questo modo e solo in questo modo ho avuto finalmente l'opportunit di poter stare un po' con i miei pensieri e buttare gi quanto state per... affrontare.

This has been the life and times of Tom Edwards, a boy raised during the greatest depression then known to England. He relates his memories of the second Great War, of his experiences joining the Royal Navy as an apprentice, and of his time in many parts of Africa. Tom recalls his experiences in an anti-terrorist unit, of sailing around the world in a 30-foot boat and being chased by pirates off the coast of Columbia, and then being wrecked off the coast of New Zealand in a hurricane. Throughout the autobiography Tom, Tom Edwards has maintained a sense of humour and tells things as he remembers them. No autobiography is completely true, but it is as near the truth as circumspection allows. If Tom's recall of events and dates fail in some areas, you must forgive him, as an eighty-two-year-old mind has its limitations. Tom can recall Edward the Eighth's abdication speech verbatim and his mother's co-op number from seventy years ago, but events chronologically closer often elude him. About the Author: Tom Edwards was born in Hampshire, England, where he spent his early years. After completing his education, he served six years in the Fleet Air Arm branch of the Royal Navy.He then made his living for several years as an artist before moving to Southern Africa, where he worked as a reporter as well as a mining engineer in South Africa, Zambia and Namibia, finally settling in what was then Rhodesia. After travelling the world, he now lives at Lake Macquarie in New South Wales, Australia. His next book is titled The Hunter. His was a life full of adventure. Gazing at the heavens while lying on the cabin roof of a 30-foot boat one thousand miles from the nearest land, gave Tom Edwards a sense of his incredible insignificance in the scheme of things. He learned that most people are kind, generous and innately good, if treated with respect. He loved the era in which he was born, when foul language was never used in the home or in company. It was an era when women wore dresses and were modest and chaste; when men were courteous and manly; when a child could roam without fear; and mothers stayed home to look after their family. People lived closer together and had time to converse. They were mainly poor in wealth and chattels, but rich in friendships and family experiences.He will be forever grateful for being born into that era, before too many of the endearing trappings of living became passe. More About the Author: During the Rhodesian conflict, Tom Edwards joined the reserve branch of the security forces where he served on border patrol and in the Marine Division. There he acquired much of the material for his first book If I Should Die. He and a friend bought a thirty-foot boat and sailed around the world for four years; a trip bedevilled by pirates and hurricanes. After being shipwrecked, Tom continued on his own to South Africa via Christmas Island, Cocos Keeling and the Seychelles. His penultimate adventure was to walk from John O'Groats in northern Scotland to Land's End in southern England, which took him forty-six days. At the ripe old age of eighty, he and the son of a friend sailed a 30-foot boat from Hobart, Tasmania, to Lake Macquarie in New South Wales, where he lives today. http://sbpra.com/TomEdwards
