The Thefts of Nick Velvet
Thirteen stories of outrageous heists starring one smooth thief The dictator of the island of Jabali wants a baseball team, and he doesn’t care how he gets it. He has assembled nine of the finest players on the island, and is about to hire Nick Velvet to steal him some competition. Ordinary thieves might not be up to pinching a whole ball club, but Velvet specializes in lifting seemingly worthless items, and in this year’s National League, there is nothing more worthless than the hapless Beavers. He steals them easily—but will the island’s ruler be satisfied with a last-place team? In these charming stories starring one of Edward D. Hoch’s most popular characters, everything is up for grabs. Velvet steals sea serpents, garbage, cats, and toy mice—all with his trademark low-key style. In Nick Velvet’s underworld, there is nothing he won’t steal, so long as it’s priceless, worthless, or just plain crazy.
Macao - Cultural Interaction and Literary Representations
Macao, the former Portuguese colony in southeast China from the 1550s until its return to China in 1999, has a long and very interesting history of cultural interaction between China and the West. As an entity with independent political power and a unique social setting and cultural development, the identity of Macao’s people is not only indicative of the legacy and influence of the region’s socio-historical factors and forces, but it has also been altered, transformed and maintained because of the input, action, interaction and stimulation of creative arts and literatures. Held together by racial accommodation and tolerance and active cultural interactions, Macao’s phenomenon can be characterized as hybridization. This book is a presentation of the ongoing hybridization of Macao and is in itself a hybrid, covering a wide range of issues. Putting forward substantial new research findings, the book explores the nature of cultural interaction in Macao, and how the city has been constructed and perceived through literature and other art forms. It is a companion volume to Macao – The Formation of a Global City .
To Meet a Queen
A glimpse into the life of Mary Elizabeth Archer, the first Western woman to live alone in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.Two vignettes give the reader a front-row seat to the transition of power in the 1960s in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia-from a woman's point of view. Based on true events in her life as an ex-pat, the sights, sounds and smells of the time are vividly recreated. In addition, Mary's later sociological comparison of the USA and KSA is reproduced exactly as she wrote in 1990 for her great nieces and nephews. In addition to the sociological perspective, her experience in Saudi Arabia is examined through the lens of Culture Bumps. A final story about the last chapter of her life reveals some fundamental beliefs that her life embodied. Both stories underscore her life-long awakening to the beauties of a world beyond her upbringing in a farm community in West Texas.
