  Fishing With Tardelli - A Memoir...

  A literary meditation on memory, time, love, and loss
  		 
  Fishing With Tardelli contemplates the relations among four parents — mother, father, stepfather, and a Brazilian fishing companion — and the author. Over marriages and remarriages, fathers and mothers become stepfathers and stepmothers, and brothers gain and lose stepbrothers and half-brothers, sisters and half-sisters across two continents. The various homes become part of Besner’s internal geography; memory, dream, story, fable become permeable layers folded over bald facts baldly stated.
  		 
  Beginning with an older man’s recollections of himself as a young teenager fishing with Tardelli in the bay in Rio de Janeiro, the memoir reflects on time lost and time regained. The narration ranges across the mid-’40s in Montreal, where two couples marry, divorce, and remarry in a new configuration; proceeds to Rio de Janeiro in the mid-’50s, when one of these newly formed families emigrates; and returns to Montreal in the late ’60s and early ’70s. After a 50-year interlude, Besner returns from Western Canada to the pandemic moment in Toronto.

  “Shaked traces a life of grand ambitions from its humble origins to…how he ended up making enough money to try and broker peace…" —BookLife from Publishers Weekly. 
   “…a blueprint for using success to create social impact.” —Seattle Book Review 
  “Avi Shaked’s gripping story is that of an Israeli who bridged the worlds of international business and peace-building…offer[ing] unique insights into how economic relationships can potentially serve diplomatic ends.” —Yoram Dori, former advisor for Israel’s President Shimon Peres and author of The Whisperer 
  What does it take to become a successful international business leader and Middle East peacemaker? In The Greater the Risk, Avi Shaked chronicles his extraordinary journey from humble beginnings as a first-generation Israeli to his role as founder of 888.com (now EvokePlc) to using his wealth to support peace efforts to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. 
  From his first job in construction to an IPO on the London Stock Exchange to a bold peace offer of $1 billion and signing the Geneva Accord, Shaked’s story takes readers on a personal and riveting roller-coaster ride as he risks everything to build his company, honor his family, and seek an enduring peace in his homeland. 
  As he navigates family struggles, historical upheaval, and high-stakes business ventures, Shaked learns invaluable lessons about resilience, relationship-building, social responsibility, and transforming adversity into opportunity. More than a memoir, The Greater the Risk is a timely reminder that positive change requires perseverance, innovation, and a willingness to take risks for the greater good. Shaked’s inspiring story reveals how unwavering commitment and belief, especially in the face of uncertainty, can create a lasting and positive impact.

  The Bravest Scout at Gallipoli

  The many lives and tragic death of Harry Freame, the Anzac hero betrayed by his nation. 
   
  Harry Freame was the first Australian to win the Distinguished Conduct Medal at Gallipoli. Raised as a samurai, he risked his life again and again to scout the beaches and hills of the battlefield, reporting invaluable intelligence back to his officers and relieving stranded soldiers who otherwise would surely have died. Some say he should have got the VC but didn't because he was half-Japanese, a fact he tried hard to conceal. 
   
  After the war, Harry (real name Henry Wykeham Koba Freame) became a soldier settler and champion apple grower. But when Japan emerged as a perceived threat to Australia, Harry was recruited into Australian intelligence to spy on the Japanese community in Sydney. Before Japan's entry into World War II, Australia opened a diplomatic legation in Tokyo, and Harry was sent as a translator - but his real role was a spy. Extraordinarily, his cover was leaked by the Australian press, and the Japanese secret police tried to assassinate him not long after his arrival in Tokyo in 1941. Harry died back in Australia a few weeks later, but his sacrifice has never been acknowledged by Australia. 
   
  Until now. Featuring never-before-seen material, The Bravest Scout at Gallipoli is a fascinating and immersive investigation into a grievous historical wrong.
