DEATH ONLY WINS: THE STALIN TRILOGY

Release Date: 2013-12
Early Stalin, the first volume in a forthcoming trilogy of historical fiction on the life of Joseph Stalin entitled Death Only Wins, tells the story of the future Soviet dictator in two parts, Caucasus and Siberia: In And Out. It recounts Stalin's abysmal childhood, his mother's efforts to get him into the Orthodox priesthood, his ecclesiastical education, his expulsion from the Tiflis Theological Seminary, his life as an organizer of robberies to fund Lenin's revolutionary enterprises, his first marriage, the death of his wife, his love affairs, his trips abroad, and his many arrests, exiles, and escapes from Siberia. Always in the background of the novel is the land of Georgia with its splendid food and wine, spectacular beauty, literature, customs, and culture in general as well as the harshness of the Siberian landscape. A major purpose of the first volume is to provide clues to Stalin's behaviour as ruler of the Soviet Union, an explanation of how Stalin became Stalin.
Death Only Needs to Win Once
DANGER could have been my middle name when one considers the number of serious incidents I was involved in, especially in my younger years. It is not surprising that I can claim to have had so many "lucky escapes" from death. This Non Fiction story portrays many of the hazardous situations in which I often found myself and shows how seemingly innocent play can suddenly turn into dangerous, or even life threatening incidents. I consider that I have had extremely good luck in overcoming lots of adversity throughout my life, so far, and I reckon that I have cheated the Grim Reaper at least seven times: Two of the more serious of which happened in my middle aged years. Having used up seven of my "nine" lives, I hope to delay the using up of my eighth and ninth lives for as long as possible. However, one has to be continually aware that DEATH really does only need to win ONCE.

Standing in the Shadow of the Master? Chaucerian Influences and Interpretations grew out of a session at the 2008 International Medieval Congress at the University of Leeds. In this volume Editor Kathleen A. Bishop brings together a collection of essays contributed by a talented and diverse group of scholars from the United States, Canada, and Europe. The articles question the traditional supremacy of Chaucer in the canon while also reaffirming the lasting impact of this great English writer of the Middle Ages. Topics covered include Shakespeare, Lydgate, Gower, Henryson, Douglas, Clanvowe, Bokenham, and the Gawain Poet, as well as a modern psychoanalytic assessment of the Wife of Bath, and a dialogue on making Chaucer relevant to undergraduates immersed in 21st century culture.
