Описание:
The name of this story book is unusual. "Yankeli" is the crossbreed name for the American Yankee and Bengali cultures of a typical Bengali. In short, the mixing of words Yankee and Bengali makes it "Yankeli".
While working in the various states of America, the author had the opportunity of meditating with a variety of people. Particularly, the author noted that mixing with the American mainstream, his fundamental Indian values clashed with their ideas in every stage.
Sometimes, the age-old bonding had some funny outcomes. In this context, the differences within the first generation are more predominant than the second generation. In the time frame of sharing interior values, many cultural happenings may siphon off slowly. Recently written, a few short stories published in newspapers and magazines in Calcutta have been added to this book. It is felt that the gracious feelings of all the countries are similar. Hence, the emotional "Yankeli" prosperity will be very beneficial.
Most of the stories consist of love affairs. They are based on different angles and with a variety of mentality. It is also presumed that life paths of different categories are interconnected. Other stories are based on various aspects of human life.

Описание: As a teenager, Ron Reynolds trekked across the United States and overseas in quest of adventure. Stints as carnival worker, ranch hand, cabana boy, and lifeguard to a deckhand on the China seas could not quench his thirst for excitement until the nineteen-year-old Buffalo, New York, adventurer saw a poster in Paris luring him to a five-year enlistment in the famed French Foreign Legion. For eighteen months, that dream became a horrible nightmare of senseless desert killings and brutal and sadistic treatment, including a thirty-day imprisonment in a desert dungeon at the hands of a half-crazed Turk. Finally, after two unsuccessful attempts to escape in which he barely survived the punishments, Ron was determined to make it to freedom or take his own life by falling on his bayonet. His daring escape, filled with terror and suspense, was bittersweet. The Yankee mercenary found himself a man without a country and a price on his head by the French government. In essence, he had escaped to nowhere. He says that if he had to do it over again, he would take the easy way out-in front of a firing squad. On a happy note, Ron Reynolds is once again an American citizen.

Описание: Yank Rachell and his mandolin playing style moved every musician lucky enough to hear him perform in the early sixties. When he died in April 1997, he left behind a stack of unanswered requests to tour Europe and to play blues festivals in the United States. In Blues Mandolin Man: The Life and Music of Yank Rachell, Richard Congress delivers the first biography of a family man whose playing inspired and energized the likes of David Honeyboy Edwards, Sleepy John Estes, and Henry Townsend. No other biography discusses the mandolin's influence and role in the blues. Guitar great Ry Cooder said, Yank's style fascinated me because it had a lot of power and it's very raw-and what a great thing to do, just attack this little instrument like that. Charlie Musselwhite, the noted harp player, worked with Rachell and club hopped in Chicago with the elder bluesman. He just had a great spirit about him, Musselwhite said of Rachell's playing and singing, really just shouting it out. If the world was made up of people like Yank Rachell it would be a wonderful place to live. Blues Mandolin Man chronicles the life, times, and music of a man who was born into a family of sharecroppers in 1910 in rural western Tennessee. An active musician for 75 years, Rachell mastered several musical instruments and first recorded for Victor in Memphis in 1929. Through the blues, Rachell's world expanded to include Chicago, New York, recording studios and, after the sixties, radio, TV, and national and European tours. Yank's recollections reveal new information about personalities and events that will delight blues history buffs. Rich appendixes detail Yank's mandolin and guitar style and his place in the blues tradition. For this book Richard Congress, who reissued two of Rachell's old LPs in CD format, worked closely with him to record memories spanning decades of blues playing. Congress tells a compelling and engaging story about a colorful and thoughtful character who as a child picked cotton and plowed a field behind a mule, who grew to manhood coping with the southern Jim Crow system, and who participated in the creation and perpetuation of the blues.
Описание: Revised edition of the most complete history of the New York Yankees in the 1960s. Yankee Pride chronicles how the New York Yankees won consecutive American League pennants during the first five years of the 1960s, then fell from glory starting in 1965, and landed in the American League cellar in 1966, going from league best to looking up at the rest in just two seasons. The story follows how the Yankees returned to respectability in the last three years of the decade, winning on pitching and defense rather than the power hitting that had been so synonymous with Yankee baseball in the team's glory days.Yankee Pride takes you year-by-year, month-by-month, even game-by-game, as the entire decade of triumph and struggle unfolds before your eyes. It includes player profiles of Mantle, Maris, Ford, Stottlemyre, Murcer and more, and includes over 200 photographs. Enjoy the memories.
