Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ... XVI ONE day about the middle of the month, Bowl stumbled into a group that now was always gathered upon the beach. The prophet was not there, though the red dory was; its owner, instead of going to The Skull as usual that day, having climbed the barren hill, as he sometimes did, to brood upon the spot where God's messenger had risen. Sight of the dory moved Bowl to a sudden inspiration: "I'm a prophet, too!" he cried, lifting his voice into a cracked imitation of the red dory man's. There were lowering looks and uneasy gestures, but no one moved a foot, or answered. "Just as good a prophet as the master of this bloody craft," he sneered, jerking his thumb towards the dory, "and what I've got to say's a thousand times pleasanter to your bellies. Have any of you thought how wry this fellow's talk is upon your bellies?" Bowl was smiling quizzically, sweeping his arms about with all the old inclusive intimacy; but the islanders only looked the sourer. "You must be thirsty as the fish you've forgotten how to catch. Come, have a drink, men!" and he pulled out his bottle, well known to all, and slowly passed it round. No one even shook his head. "Won't have one? You won't hear a word with your dry gills, but what I've got to say is this: This fellow knows no more of Kingdom Come than I do!" Some of the crowd began to edge away; others looked apprehensively toward the barren hill. "You 're scared because Grumpy Joe happened to go under, the day yonder frog began croaking. D' ye think he swamped the boat? I'm not afraid of him!" and walking down to the red dory, Bowl began to shove it off, puffing with the effort. Margaret had come up while Bowl was talking, and when the dory floated, ran down and leaped into it, before Bowl was ready, plainly...

Book Description
Fiction. 2000 AND WHAT? Is a collection of short stories about the turn of the millennium. These stories are about what it means to be alive during this particular era and vary in content as much as in style: exuberance, excess, nihilism. What unifies the writers collected here is their ability to avoid a predictable response to an inevitable event.

Book Description
'Essentially, it comes down to the fact that a very large portion of Americans are crazier than shithouse rats and are being led by a gang of pathological misfits, most of whom are preachers and politicians.' In 2004, at the age of 58, writer Joe Bageant sensed that the internet could give him editorial freedom. Without having to deal with gatekeepers, he began writing about what he was really thinking, and started submitting his essays to left-of-centre websites. Joe's essays soon gained a wide following for his forceful style, his sense of humour, and his willingness to discuss the American white underclass, a taboo topic for the mainstream media. Joe called himself a 'redneck socialist', and he initially thought most of his readers would be very much like himself - working class from the southern section of the USA. So he was pleasantly surprised when the emails started filling his in-box. There were indeed many letters from men about Joe's age who had also escaped rural poverty. But there were also emails from younger men and women readers, from affluent people who agreed that the political and economic system needed an overhaul, from readers in dozens of countries expressing thanks for an alternative view of American life, from working-class Americans in all parts of the country, and more than a few from elderly women who wrote to Joe to say that they respected and appreciated his writing, but 'please don't use so much profanity'. Joe Bageant died in March 2011 at the age of 64, having published 89 essays online. The 25 essays presented in Waltzing at the Doomsday Ball have been selected by Ken Smith, who managed Joe's website and disseminated his work to the wider media and to Joe's dedicated fans and followers. 'One of the great American writers of his generation.' - Charles Firth 'Bageant must be one of only a handful of people who can provide and understanding of what America's redneck underclass is thinking. The mix of storytelling and political commentary is superb.' - The Daily Telegraph 'Bageant may write like a dream but he hasn't forgotten where he came from . . . Cutting through the corporatist film-flam, he describes just what trouble America is in.' - The Australian Financial Review Magazine

Book Description
The Kilrathi Empire is in a bind. For the last five years they have been constructing a secret fleet so powerful that it will slice straight through to Earth and destroy the Confederation. There is a problem, however: the Confederation has become increasingly successful with its behind-the-lines raids and the Prince fears that before the new fleet is ready, the Empire will be on the ropes. At a Kilrathi council of war a simple solution is agreed upon: sure for peace, lull the humans into disarming and then when all is ready, launch a surprise offensive. True to the tradition of democracies everywhere, the Confederation falls for it; the military stands down. Luckily for the human race, however, there are a few who don’t trust soft words from a Kilrathi mouth. Admiral Tolwyn and his veterans must fight a delaying action, buying time with their lives for humanity to make ready for the final battle… At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
