Описание: When I purchased this diary several years ago I had no idea where it would lead me. As I read I saw a story that had to be saved and shared. What better time to write about World War 1 than during the centennial years of the United States involvement. While there have been many great histories written about World War 1 this is a very unique look at the war through the eyes of the everyday Doughboy. This diary gave me the opportunity to present "The Great War" as Corporal Linton Henry Hoover saw it as he served as a signalman in the 33rd Infantry Division, United States Army. He left a detailed daily account of the war that led him to France, the trenches and the front lines where disease and death were a daily occurrence. As you read this account, his account, remember that he was part of a generation of young men and women who are often called the Lost Generation because so many were killed or maimed. A generation lost on the killing fields of a mostly forgotten war. As the 100th anniversary of the ending of World War 1 approaches, it is a great time to remember.

Описание: A story of a life well lived, a man who grew to manhood believing he was an irish catholic, but in fact was a german jew. His story is told around his many achievements, it is not a pretty story there is murder, adultry, rape of an innocent and his struggle when he went to sydney to become an s.p. bookie where he just managed to stay above the violent criminal element that ruled the city that will keep you turning pages. But through it all, it was his lifelong search for his jewish father and his almost frenetic wish for a son of his own that almost broke his spirit, sending him on a downward destructive path into alcholism and cruelty. Then the 2nd world war erupted and he found himself in the most terrifying and brutal encounter he had ever witnessed, but it also gave him a love that was all consuming a love story that will break the reader;s heart, as he struggles with the concept of loving two women, a situation that placed him in a no win situation, but he was a slodier of war and he covered himself with glory in the hot arid deserts of north africa, where he became a hero of sorts but nothing is easy in life least of all war and he soon found himself fighting every day just to stay alive to hopefully return to his love, but again tragedy strikes at him visciously almost destroying his sanity, his struggles against the terrifying concept of being placed in a lunatic asylum for the insane, but help arrives for him in the form of a young american doctor and he is returned to a semblence of sanity, he is repatriated back to australia to try desperatly to resume his life with his family while his heart lies with his lost love buried beneath an old gnarled apricot tree somewhere on the island of crete.
Fifteen more chilling tales of Yuletide terror, collected from rare Victorian periodicals
Following the popularity of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol (1843), Victorian newspapers and magazines frequently featured ghost stories at Christmas time, and reading them by candlelight or the fireside became an annual tradition. This second volume of Victorian Christmas ghost stories contains fifteen tales, most of which have never been reprinted. They represent a mix of the diverse styles and themes common to Victorian ghost fiction and include works by once-popular authors like Grant Allen and Eliza Lynn Linton as well as contributions from anonymous or wholly forgotten writers. This volume also features a new introduction by Prof. Allen Grove.
"At first I was aware only of a bluish, misty, phosphorescent light, and then a ghastly terror, that froze the very blood in my veins, seized me, for suddenly I saw rise up out of the inky darkness the form of a man--the eyes of a hideous red, fixed on mine with a look of hate ..." - Coulson Kernahan, "Haunted "
"As I stood in breathless horror, unable to stir a limb, the figure raised its arm, a skeleton hand emerged from the heavy folds of the cloak, and touched my elbow. A scorching pain shot through me, I uttered a shriek----" - Emily Arnold, "The Ghost of the Treasure-Chamber"
"Again that shudder passed through his body, and again he unwillingly met the glance of those diabolical eyes upon the scroll. Horror of horrors was the face alive, or was he going mad?" - Anonymous, "The Weird Violin"
