Book Synopsis Children of Earth and Sky by : Guy Gavriel Kay

Download or read book Children of Earth and Sky written by Guy Gavriel Kay. This book was released on 2016-05-10. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling author of The Fionavar Tapestry weaves a world inspired by the conflicts and dramas of Renaissance Europe. Against this tumultuous backdrop the lives of men and women unfold on the borderlands—where empires and faiths collide. From the small coastal town of Senjan, notorious for its pirates, a young woman sets out to find vengeance for her lost family. That same spring, from the wealthy city-state of Seressa, famous for its canals and lagoon, come two very different people: a young artist traveling to the dangerous east to paint the grand khalif at his request—and possibly to do more—and a fiercely intelligent, angry woman posing as a doctor’s wife but sent by Seressa as a spy. The trading ship that carries them is commanded by the accomplished younger son of a merchant family, ambivalent about the life he’s been born to live. And farther east a boy trains to become a soldier in the elite infantry of the khalif—to win glory in the war everyone knows is coming. As these lives entwine, their fates—and those of many others—will hang in the balance when the khalif sends out his massive army to take the great fortress that is the gateway to the western world....

Book Synopsis Running Away to Home by : Jennifer Wilson

Download or read book Running Away to Home written by Jennifer Wilson. This book was released on 2011-10-11. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A middle class, Midwestern family in search of meaning uproot themselves and move to their ancestral village in Croatia. "We can look at this in two ways," Jim wrote, always the pragmatist. "We can panic and scrap the whole idea. Or we can take this as a sign. They're saying the economy is going to get worse before it gets better. Maybe this is the kick in the pants we needed to do something completely different. There will always be an excuse not to go..." And that, friends, is how a typically sane middle-aged mother decided to drag her family back to a forlorn mountain village in the backwoods of Croatia. So begins author Jennifer Wilson's journey in Running Away to Home. Jen, her architect husband, Jim, and their two children had been living the typical soccer- and ballet-practice life in the most Middle American of places: Des Moines, Iowa. They overindulged themselves and their kids, and as a family they were losing one another in the rush of work, school, and activities. One day, Jen and her husband looked at each other–both holding their Starbucks coffee as they headed out to their SUV in the mall parking lot, while the kids complained about the inferiority of the toys they just got–and asked themselves: "Is this the American dream? Because if it is, it sort of sucks." Jim and Jen had always dreamed of taking a family sabbatical in another country, so when they lost half their savings in the stock-market crash, it seemed like just a crazy enough time to do it. High on wanderlust, they left the troubled landscape of contemporary America for the Croatian mountain village of Mrkopalj, the land of Jennifer's ancestors. It was a village that seemed hermetically sealed for the last one hundred years, with a population of eight hundred (mostly drunken) residents and a herd of sheep milling around the post office. For several months they lived like locals, from milking the neighbor's cows to eating roasted pig on a spit to desperately seeking the village recipe for bootleg liquor. As the Wilson-Hoff family struggled to stay sane (and warm), what they found was much deeper and bigger than themselves.

Book excerpt: Povratkom u Englesku za Evelyn Leighton zivot je postao prava noćna mora. Oteta je i odvedena na Skotski teritorij. Zbog nesretnih okolnosti zastitnik joj je postao Skot. Svojim divljačkim ponasanjem iz nje je izvlačio najgore osobine nedostojne jedne plemkinje. Povratkom u okrilje obitelji bila je spremna zaboraviti na njega. No, ono sto je uslijedilo uzdrmalo joj je vjeru i promijenilo zelje. Alexandar David Jakov Sinclaire, kopile majčinoj engleskoj strani obitelji, očevim Skotima je bio čudesni prvorođenac. U ratnom kaosu izazvanom Napoleonovom megalomanijom, sanjao je o povratku u obiteljski dom u skotsko visočje. Vapio je za malo mira, tisine i uzivanja u lovu. Ni u najluđim snovima nije mogao sanjati da će mu ulov biti Engleska plemkinja. Zbog iskazane tvrdoglave hrabrosti njegovo početno gnusanje spram nje se promijenilo u divljenje. Njezina ljepota ga je ostavljala bez daha, a sklonost upadanja u nevolje ga je bacala u očaj. U okamenjeno srce mu je posijala nepozeljne osjećaje koji su mu zaprijetili potapanjem. Ona je u djetinjstvu prezivjela pravi brodolom. Pitanje je: hoće li njih dvoje kao odrasle osobe prezivjeti imaginarni?
