Описание:
New York City's Staten Island is often described as the forgotten borough. But with Staten Island Stories, Claire Jimenez shines a spotlight on the imagined lives of the islanders. Inspired by Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, this collection of loosely linked tragicomic short stories travels across time to explore defining moments in the island's history, from the 2003 Staten Island Ferry crash and the New York City blackout to the growing opioid and heroin crisis, Eric Garner's murder, and the 2016 presidential election.

Описание:
The Gangster - Hugh Crawford put down his shovel. HMS Mosquito needed no more coal as she eased up to the Staten Island pier she would share with HMS Scorpion. A 24-hour leave took Hugh and his pals to half a dozen water front saloons. Finally to Angelo's, then across the street to "Mothers" and the arms of Mary Kate. It was that night and those arms that, at war's end, brought Hugh Crawford back to Staten Island.
The Musician - Sitting on the ferry boat bench Chuck Stacey's mind drifted back to the day Tom Kravitz called: "Chuck, Henry Love is here today but his drummer got arrested and he won't do a show until he can get a replacement. I told him you could do it. He said he would listen to you."
After more than a year with Henry Love, he and two pals struck out on their own and here they were on a boat to Staten Island and a New Year's Eve Ball. Not exactly the "big time" they had dreamed of.
The Lovely Young Lady - News that Chuck Stacey's Orchestra would play at the ball sent shivers of excitement up and down her spine. He must be the same Chuck Stacey she sang with two years ago in Uncle Belinni's Chicago saloon. Getting to that ball became the most important goal in her life.
Описание: Emerging from the Revolutionary War and the formation of a new nation, Staten Island was poised to enter the nineteenth century ripe for growth and prosperity. Fueled by waves of immigration, Richmond County became a boomtown of industry and transportation. Piloting his first ferry with just two small masts and eighteen-cent fares, Cornelius Vanderbilt built a transit empire from his native shores of Staten Island. When the Civil War erupted, Richmond played a key role in housing and training Union troops as 125 naval guns protected New York Harbor at the Narrows. At the close of the century, Staten Island was swept up in the politics of consolidation, with 84 percent of locals voting to join Greater New York, yet the promised benefits of a new mega-city never materialized. Author Joe Borelli charts the trials and triumphs of Staten Island in the nineteenth century.

Описание: No longer New York`s "forgotten borough". Since Hurricane Sandy, Staten Island has been in the headlines, and this absorbing, readable guide explores the Island`s past and present, its monuments, its open spaces, its maritime heritage and its memorable - often eccentric - characters, from Vanderbilts to vagrants to seventeen-year locusts.

Of crucial strategic importance to both the British and the Continental Army, Staten Island was, for a good part of the American Revolution, a bastion of Loyalist support. With its military and political significance, Staten Island provides rich terrain for Phillip Papas's illuminating case study of the local dimensions of the Revolutionary War. Papas traces Staten Island's political sympathies not to strong ties with Britain, but instead to local conditions that favored the status quo instead of revolutionary change. With a thriving agricultural economy, stable political structure, and strong allegiance to the Anglican Church, on the eve of war it was in Staten Island's self-interest to throw its support behind the British, in order to maintain its favorable economic, social, and political climate. Over the course of the conflict, continual occupation and attack by invading armies deeply eroded Staten Island's natural and other resources, and these pressures, combined with general war weariness, created fissures among the residents of “that ever loyal island,” with Loyalist neighbors fighting against Patriot neighbors in a civil war. Papas’s thoughtful study reminds us that the Revolution was both a civil war and a war for independence—a duality that is best viewed from a local perspective.

Описание: Globe & Mail bestselling Lesley Crewe`s new novel brings readers to 1960s Montreal & features a nosy would-be child detective searching for the truth about her mother. It`s 1967 in Montreal, the Expo is in full swing, and Audrey Parker has just moved with her dad to Notre-Dame-de-Grace, a whole new neighbourhood full of different kinds of people to spy on. Audrey is a lot of things: articulate, disarming, forthright. And, as her father reminds her often, indecently nosy. Audrey scribbles every observation down in her notebooks -- from which foods her new teacher eats for lunch, to how blue the water is in Greece, to what time the one-legged man across the street gets home. She is certain she will soon root out a murderer or uncover a mystery. But there`s only one mystery that really matters to her: her mother. Who was she? How did she die? Why won`t her father ever talk about her? Over a year of Audrey`s life, we bike with her through the streets of NDG, encountering stray animals, free-range kids, and adults both viciously cruel and wonderful. And we walk with Audrey across the threshold from childhood to adolescence, where she will discover the truth about her mother. Balancing humour and sadness as expertly as ever, author Lesley Crewe, who has so often captured Cape Breton perfectly on the page, turns her incisive observations for the first time to the NDG of the 1960s, where she grew up.
