    Elks Do Not Speak English by John Murolo

    by Author Video (5/20/13) 1 views

    The book has been written to tell our experiences of 15 years in Finland and to give a little taste of this country to people who do not know it. It is not a view from a short time visitor. It is a love and affection that has developed by spending half a year in Finland for a long time, through beautiful Summers and very harsh Winters, living in a small community where the sense of its past is prevailing. The purpose of the bood is to make Finland better known and appreciated by the world at large but foremost to have the Finns understand themselves and their country, overcoming their fundamental shiness towards foreigners, despite their technical achievements in the modern society and the ggeneral respect they enjoy as a Nation on the global scene. This is not a travel book. It is simp,ly an analysis of the character and the habits of the Finns and an attempt to capture in words the natural beauty of a land at the edge of the world.

    A Peasant in Paris by Jan Grevstad

    by Author Video (5/15/13) 8 views

    Jan Grevstad’s second collection of nine short stories has, above all, the ambition to amuse its reader. Amid a dash of satire, his stories reflect British type of humour at its best. Mostly stories of fiction, they have strong roots in real life with compassion for the human condition and human fate. The “Edelweiss Saga” is based on an old tale and has an ecological touch, while “The New Shooting Range” is a fantasy developed from a real experience of cultural clashes in the Alps. “Don’t Queue” is based on the true story of a Royal Norwegian visit to Geneva, and “A Peasant in Paris” is entirely autobiographical.

    Josie by Richard E. Cooper

    This book tells the story of a survivor of World War II. With the help of a lifelong friend, a grandmother, and a devoted godmother, Josefine Kloibock was able to overcome years of homelessness in her tiny homeland of Austria, eventually to make a new life in America. One aspect of the war frequently overlooked by historians is the near idyllic period of almost five years during which Austria enjoyed an economic revival while the war raged on all sides. After the annexation in 1938, Austria became a part of Germany, and Adolf Hitler took good care of his homeland. Not until late 1943 did this period of the “good life” come to an end, when Austria came within range of Allied bombers based in Italy and North Africa. It wasn’t until years later that Josie came to realize the atrocities and crimes against humanity perpetrated by Nazi Germany, some on Austrian soil.

    And the Bands Played On by Howie Thompson

    And the Bands Played On by Howie Thompson

    As defined by Wikipedia, beach music—also known as Carolina beach musi and, to a lesser extent, beach pop—is a regional genre that developed from various musical styles of the forties, fifties, and sixties. These styles ranged frombig-band swing instrumentals to the more raucous sounds of blues/ jump blues, jazz, doo-wop, boogie, rhythm and blues, reggae, rockabilly, and old-time roc k and roll. Beach music is closely associated with the style of the swing dance known as the shag or the Carolina shag, which is also the official state dance of both North Carolina and South Carolina. Recordings with a 4/4 blues shuffle rhythmic structure and moderate-to-fast tempo are the most popular music for the shag, and the vast majority of the music in this genre fit that description.
