Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 57
Book Description
Dreams of lost past, a boy on the run, a man trying to make peace with his mistakes. Destinies intertwine in three mind-bending stories revolving around a single destructive factor, all converging in one concluding moment. They are embers, fallen from a great fire; some fade, some create conflagrations, and Atlanta burns around them. "Too tired to run away from the metal monster chasing him relentlessly through this foreign maze. Screaming and puffing, flaming jaws and hundreds of fiery eyes, jumping on the dome of stars to then dive back towards the derelict city, corroding everything it touched with its sharp centipedal limbs. How could he possibly escape this omnipresent demon?" Thank you for reading!

Book Description
"I couldn't put down The Embers of Tradition. Just regrettably finished it and still expecting more pages of this treasure of tradition. But who's best to write about the fate of twins and other brutal conflicts in old Igbo Land than the one who perilously came close to suffering the cruelty of our ancient tradition? Chukwudum Okeke has weaved a tapestry of intrigue and joy that sustained our people even as crude as such lifestyle seems to us now." Bertram Okpokwasili BS. Eng Yale; D Eng.Sci Columbia University Igbo Traditional Chief, Ichie Onyeogadilinma Professor of Business and Digital Media Georgian Court University -- What is birthed from a dead, despised or abandoned culture? What leads to the death of tradition in a society? These are the questions The Embers of Tradition explores with a wide-sweeping look at the effects of colonization on the culture of the Igbo of South-Eastern Nigeria through the events that transpired in one family. Through Nweke, a respected, hot-tempered and stubborn man, his relationship with his Ikenga, his family, his best friend, and his town, we see the many far-reaching consequences, some good, others devastating, of what rose from the embers of an interrupted cultural system. The Embers of Tradition illuminates the beauty and gore of foundational Igbo culture, and the changes through the ages, leaving one with a faint nostalgia for an uncolonized evolution. To remain relevant in a changing world, will Nweke do the unthinkable?

Book Description
The embers of hate and bigotry lay smoldering beneath the ashes of a century. Glowing dimly, still hot, it would take only a wind to blow away the ash and fan them to flaming life. That wind did come and the flames rose. Set during the time of school desegregation, 'Dying Embers' is a story of love, hate, terrible tragedy and immense courage. It is a story of growing up. Six young people cling to their friendship while the winds of racial bigotry blow and rage around them. They are forced to confront those whose hatred is born out of ignorance and self-loathing. As their world is painfully remolded, they mature and gain a deeper understanding of who they are...and of courage. Along the way, a young man who had never known friendship learns it in an uncommon way from an unlikely source. Together, they discover that the bonds of friendship have no color. Maturing can be a difficult process for the young. For the traditions and culture of an entire society, it can be, it was, excruciatingly painful.

Book Description
“Delve[s] into a colorful past . . . Stories of early taverns and saloons, religious zeal, prohibition and the roots of the current craft beer boom.” —Atlanta Journal Constitution Atlanta is a unique southern city known for its vast diversity and fast-paced lifestyle. Rarely is it associated with a rich beer and brewing culture, but not for a lack of one. From Atlanta’s first brewery in the 1850s to the city’s Saloon Row and the parched days of local and national Prohibition, the earliest days of Atlanta’s beer history are laced with scandal and excitement. Follow the journey of beer through Atlanta’s development, starting with colonial Georgia and the budding wilderness settlement of Terminus and eventually evolving into the ever-growing metropolis known as Atlanta. Authors Ron Smith and Mary Boyle celebrate the resurgence of craft beer in a town that once burned to the ground. As Atlanta rose from the ashes of the Civil War, so also has artisanal beer made a comeback in this enigmatic but resilient city. “The brewery sections draw attention to some long-neglected businesses . . . But the chapter on Prohibition may be the most fascinating part of the book.” —American Breweriana Journal “A fascinating read for any craft beer lover in the Southeast. The book features chapters on frontier taverns of the area, Atlanta’s first beer boom, stories of early breweries of the city, the brewpub trend and the rise of current breweries located in Georgia’s capital.” —Owen Ogletree’s Brewtopia Brewsletter
