"They come at you at five hundred miles per hour. That's how it starts..." Near the end of a long spring tourist season, an exhausted Jack Cort meets his next group for four jam-packed days in the Big Apple. Hoping this "combo" of visitors from Seattle and rural Georgia will be like any other, he watches with panic as the trip rapidly spins out of control. From hostility in Little Italy and a miscommunication at Grand Central to a disturbing discovery in Times Square and physical blows in a downtown cemetery, Jack will come to learn that the baggage these people brought from home wasn't limited to what they packed. From the award-winning author of Suspension, comes a wholly original comic novel. Join these 35 sightseers on the bustling sidewalks of New York City as they try their best to meet the challenge of our modern world-interacting constantly, and much too quickly, with people they only partially understand.

Download The Complete Works of Frances Hodgson Burnett Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Musaicum Books presents to you this carefully created collection of Burnett's complete works. This ebook has been designed and formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett (1849 – 1924) was an English playwright and author. She is best known for her children's stories, in particular The Secret Garden (published in 1911), A Little Princess (published in 1905), and Little Lord Fauntleroy (published in 1885-6). Frances Eliza Hodgson was born in Cheetham, near Manchester, England. After her father died in 1852, the family eventually fell on straitened circumstances and in 1865 emigrated to the United States, settling near Knoxville, Tennessee. There, Frances began writing to help earn money for the family, publishing stories in magazines from the age of 19. In 1870 her mother died and in 1872 she married Swan Burnett, who became a medical doctor after which they lived in Paris for two years where their two sons were born before returning to the US to live in Washington D.C. There she began to write novels, the first of which (That Lass o' Lowries), was published to good reviews. Little Lord Fauntleroy was published in 1886 and made her a popular writer of children's fiction, although her romantic adult novels written in the 1890s were also popular.

Download Local Identities and Transnational Cults within Europe Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Local-level pilgrimages, when based on strong expressions of faith, can have a much wider local, regional and international appeal. It has been estimated that pilgrims and religious tourists number around 330 million per year, meaning development of these faith identities can help drive destination visitation and regional development. This book explores the central role of ordinary people in the popularisation of faith-based practices, thus illustrating religious tourism as an expression of cultural identity. An invaluable review of cultural identity and faith, this book delivers to scholars, students and local policy makers a collection of current perspectives on the growth, development and evolution of faith practices surrounding contemporary and historical sites and saints.

America's most original and controversial literary critic writes trenchantly about forty-eight masterworks spanning the Western tradition—from Don Quixote to Wuthering Heights to Invisible Man—in his first book devoted exclusively to narrative fiction. In this valedictory volume, Yale professor Harold Bloom—who for more than half a century was regarded as America's most daringly original and controversial literary critic—gives us his only book devoted entirely to the art of the novel. With his hallmark percipience, remarkable scholarship, and extraordinary devotion to sublimity, Bloom offers meditations on forty-eight essential works spanning the Western canon, from Don Quixote to Book of Numbers; from Wuthering Heights to Absalom, Absalom!; from Les Misérables to Blood Meridian; from Vanity Fair to Invisible Man. Here are trenchant appreciations of fiction by, among many others, Austen, Balzac, Dickens, Tolstoy, James, Conrad, Lawrence, Le Guin, and Sebald. Whether you have already read these books, plan to, or simply care about the importance and power of fiction, Harold Bloom is your unparalleled guide to understanding literature with new intimacy.
