The Year of Sharing
Reading level: 2 [yellow].
The Year of Sharing - With Audio Level 2 Oxford Bookworms Library
A level 2 Oxford Bookworms Library graded reader. This version includes an audio book: listen to the story as you read. Written for Learners of English by Harry Gilbert. Richard is bored with the quiet life of his village. He would like to have a motor-car and drive it . . . very fast. But Richard lives in a future world where there are no cars, only bicycles and small villages and green forests. And now he is twelve years old, and like the other children, he must do his Year of Sharing. He must live alone in the forest with the wild animals. He must learn to share his world; he must learn how animals live and eat and fight . . . and die.
Three Strokes Back
A lawyer's mind and a news reporter's way with words-none of it stopped Harry Gilbert's brain from having a stroke. Actually, he had three of them. This story chronicles his strokes, recovery, and (mostly) positive attitude. A stroke can happen to anyone, anytime, including to people in the prime of their lives. This revealing memoir tells the story of post-stroke: of the frustration of being unable to say the words you are thinking, or to complete mundane tasks that were previously effortless, like adding simple numbers, writing, telling time or driving a car-but also of hope and persistence. With gentle humor, author Harry Gilbert helps us understand the path of recovery and provides encouragement that post-stroke life can return to normal-even if it is a new normal.

The Star Zoo Level 3 Oxford Bookworms Library
A level 3 Oxford Bookworms Library graded readers. Written for Learners of English by Harry Gilbert. In our world today a hummingbird is a small, brilliantly coloured bird that lives in the tall trees of tropical forests. In the far distant future, Hummingbird (Hummy for short) is a girl of sixteen who lives somewhere in the Galaxy, on a planet called Just Like Home. She has the name ‘Hummingbird’ in big letters on all her clothes, but she has never seen a real hummingbird. She has never seen any living animal or bird at all. The Book of Remembering says that there were once many animals on a planet called Earth, but that was before the Burning, a long, long time ago . . .
The Go-Go Years
Die 60er Jahre waren die spekulativste Ära der Wall Street. Diese Jahre waren geprägt von Wachstum und Performance (Wertentwicklung). In diesem stürmischen Umfeld war die Schar der Kleinanleger sehr erfolgreich und ihre Zahl wuchs ständig; die verheerenden Crashs der 70er Jahre jedoch setzten dieser Entwicklung ein jähes Ende. Brooks hat eine Chronik dieser Ära verfaßt - eine abenteuerliche und humorvolle Geschichte mit einer Mischung aus solider Reportage nach Art der New York Times und dem lockeren Erzählstil des New Yorker. Hier lernt der Leser so nebenbei alles über die Boomjahre der 60er und die Kurseinbrüche der 70er, wobei er als Anleger daran erinnert wird, daß die Wall Street von jeher ein Quell von Hoffnung, Chaos und Übertreibung ist. (09/99)
