Book Synopsis The Folly of Loving Life by : Monica Drake

Download or read book The Folly of Loving Life written by Monica Drake. This book was released on 2016. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction. Short Stories. Women's Studies. Following her acclaimed novels Clown Girl and The Stud Book, Monica Drake presents her long-awaited first collection of stories. THE FOLLY OF LOVING LIFE features linked stories examining an array of characters at their most vulnerable and human, often escaping to somewhere or trying to find stability in their own place. These stories display the best of what we love about Monica's writing the sly laugh-out-loud humor, the sharp observations, the flawed but strong characters, and the shadowy Van Sant-ish Portland settings. "What can I say about Monica Drake's stories? They are brilliant, sure. They are hilarious, yes. Each one is a marvel. But more importantly-they are raw and awake and full of life. At the center of each one is the bright beating heart of what literature can be: Relevant, unusual, entertaining, fascinating, unique. These are not characters-and Drake's is not a voice-that you can ignore or forget."—Pauls Toutonghi"

Book Synopsis A Mad, Wicked Folly by : Sharon Biggs Waller

Download or read book A Mad, Wicked Folly written by Sharon Biggs Waller. This book was released on 2014-01-23. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Edwardian London, a girl dreams of being an artist, despite her family's disapproval. Welcome to the world of the fabulously wealthy in London, 1909, where dresses and houses are overwhelmingly opulent, social class means everything, and women are taught to be nothing more than wives and mothers. Into this world comes seventeen-year-old Victoria Darling, who wants only to be an artist—a nearly impossible dream for a girl. After Vicky poses nude for her illicit art class, she is expelled from her French finishing school. Shamed and scandalized, her parents try to marry her off to the wealthy Edmund Carrick-Humphrey. But Vicky has other things on her mind: her clandestine application to the Royal College of Art; her participation in the suffragette movement; and her growing attraction to a working-class boy who may be her muse—or may be the love of her life. As the world of debutante balls, corsets, and high society obligations closes in around her, Vicky must figure out: just how much is she willing to sacrifice to pursue her dreams?

Book Synopsis The Folly of Life by : Michael F. Kaufmann

Download or read book The Folly of Life written by Michael F. Kaufmann. This book was released on 2018-04-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Treasure Every Word! "I can hardly imagine you falling asleep while reading, but if you do, the proverbs are bound to color your dreams" "The folly of life" is a book of proverbs containing original sayings by Michael F. Kaufmann. This is his third book in this genre, written - upon request, after the success of his first two books. Smile if you can, laugh if can't "The folly of life" presents an ironic and funny outlook on the true nature of life. It addresses a number of different disciplines which will widen and enrich the readers' perspective on reality. Humor is an intrinsic part of Kaufmann's writing and is either presented directly - "If you're dead serious than you're seriously dead", or indirectly - as an advice "if you want to guarantee the popularity of your next book, be sure to insert in it as many flattering photos of its readers". "Like an exquisite drink" The recommendation of the first few readers was to try and resist the temptation of "swallowing" its pages and finishing it in one read. They suggested to treat the book as if it was an exquisite drink which is treasured and tasted in small doses. Thus, to slowly digest the diversity, to challenge the insights, to smile, laugh and enjoy! The book is an easy read intended for readers who can smile with one eye and shed a tear with the other.
