Download Fabulating Beauty in PDF Full Online by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Carey is one of Australia’s finest creative writers, much admired by both literary critics and a worldwide reading public. While academia has been quick to see his fictions as exemplars of postcolonial and postmodern writing strategies, his general readership has been captivated by his deadpan sense of humour, his quirky characters, the outlandish settings and the grotesqueries of his intricate plots. After three decades of prolific writing and multiple award-winning, Carey stands out in the world of Australian letters as designated heir to Patrick White. Fabulating Beauty pays tribute to Carey’s literary achievement. It brings together the voices of many of the most renowned Carey critics in twenty essays (sixteen commissioned especially for this volume), an interview with the author, as well as the most extensive bibliography of Carey criticism to date. The studies represent a wide range of current perspectives on the writer’s fictions. Contributors focus on issues as diverse as the writer’s biography; his use of architectural metaphors; his interrogation of narrative structures such as myths and cultural master-plots; intertextual strategies; concepts of sacredness and references to the Christian tradition; and his strategies of rewriting history. Amidst predictions of the imminent death of ‘postist’ theory, the essays all attest to the ongoing relevance of the critical parameters framed by postmodernism and postcolonialism.

Book excerpt: 1967. The brutal murder of a woman sends shockwaves through the city of Krakow. Young detective Andrzej quickly determines the case in question could be connected with the victim's espionage activity during World War II. Alina, the deceased woman's sole relative, is not much help. That is, until she finds one of her mother's letters, a list of names, as well a document in Hebrew script. Andrzej and Alina then join forces to put the pieces of the puzzle together, and discover the love affair between Alina's Polish mother and her German suitor during a turbulent time in history in the process. But how does all of this pertain to references to the "fat man"? A riveting, high-octane thriller that confronts a complicated predicament head-on with unorthodox methods, yet without a moralizing undertone.

Download The Fat Man's Diet & Tales in PDF Full Online by S.N. Bueti and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I became inspired to return to a healthy state after almost a decade of being nothing more than a slug having eclipsed the three hundred pound milestone. Everyone was all over my case; I was a walking time bomb. Ultimately, only I could make the decision to lose weight and once I did, everything else fell into place. The hardest thing was simply to make the COMMITMENT TO DO SO. I Stayed True to Three Unconventional Principals: • I was going to Eat What I Liked • I Wasn't going to Exercise • I Wasn't going to Pay For Advice The little digital scale validated my efforts. Now everyone wants to know my secret formula, but only after witnessing the results, as I have managed to lose 80 Pounds in One Year! The word that best described what I did was to persevere. I felt like throwing in the towel a bunch of times, but I kept going forward and the diet became easier by the day. Dieting is a matter of being on a routine and chances are if you have read this far, yours is most likely unbalanced as mine was. Once you make up your mind, you too can do the same as I did, and lose the weight. I have taken the Yo out of Yo-Yo Dieting -- I continue to eat the foods I like, so there is no transitioning into anything.
