Red Fox - The Story of His Adventurous Career in the Ringwaak Wilds and of His Final Triumph over his Enemies

Charles G. D. Roberts

Beschreibung

In "Red Fox," Charles G. D. Sir Roberts crafts a vivid narrative that deftly examines the intricate relationship between nature and humanity through the lens of a young boy's transformative encounter with a wild fox. Set against the backdrop of the Canadian landscape, the novel employs a rich, evocative prose style that captures both the beauty and brutality of the wilderness. This work resonates with the themes prevalent in early 20th-century Canadian literature, reflecting a burgeoning national identity intricately tied to the natural world and Indigenous cultures, while simultaneously hinting at the tension between civilization's encroachment and the wild's untamed spirit. Sir Roberts, a pioneer of Canadian literature and a noted poet, infused his work with personal experiences and his deep-seated love for the Canadian wilderness. His background as a soldier and naturalist provided him with unique insights into the complexities of man'Äôs relationship with the wild, as evidenced in this narrative. His literary career was marked by a commitment to exploring the natural environment, and "Red Fox" stands as a testament to his enduring fascination with the transformative power of nature on the human spirit. This beautifully written tale is highly recommended for readers who appreciate a contemplative exploration of nature and its impact on youth. "Red Fox" is not only a coming-of-age story but also an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the cultural narratives that shape our connection to the natural world.

Druids Raptors and Egyptians -...

Thomas Kennedy

Irish Mythology and modern Multi-universe theory meet in an action adventure.
A pre-Celtic artifact transforms into a bracelet and climbs up your arm. And now you can speak any language. And you can travel ‘time-lines’. Imagine a multiuniverse with a ‘Time-line’ for every possible future and present.
When Kate, the daughter of an American Professor, finds the bracelet, she and her friends are catapulted into the ‘Time-lines’.
Into a Time-line of modern day sophisticated Raptor dinosaurs that regard humans as gourmet food.
And they also walk with modern Pharaohs of Egypt.
Conchobar is a teenage run-away from ‘Tir-na- Nogh’ (Celtic mythological ‘Land of the Young.’) He has lost his bracelet to Asil, the daughter of a farmer who is a modern Raptor in his Time-line.
Harrington, their Shoggoth (a being who performs a task) is actually a reporter with the prestigious Irish Times.
The Jamaican aunt of Kate’s friend Lana accidentally uses Obeah magic to make Harrington fall in love with her, and the children have to bring him across the Time-lines to break the spell.
He becomes the Oracle in the ‘Chapel of the Hearing Ear’ in the Time–line of the modern Pharaoh, the ruler of the Western World.
The Egyptians think the Raptor Asil, in reality a teenager, is ‘Wepwawet, the jackal God of Abydos, Lord of the Necroplis.’

The Raptors want to use Conchobar’s bracelet to transport the humans across from the Egyptian Time- line to sell them in their Raptor Time- line as ‘gourmet food.’ They offer to make Conchobar the Pharaoh if he will help them.
Kate and her team, aided by policewoman Mary, set out to put a stop to all this.
