Anastasis

John Thomas

Beschreibung

In 'Anastasis,' John Thomas craftily intertwines elements of existential inquiry and rich, evocative prose to explore the themes of resurrection and renewal within the human spirit. The narrative delves into the lives of its characters as they navigate trauma and seek redemption, set against a backdrop of a contemporary society grappling with its own crises. Employing a non-linear storytelling style, Thomas evokes a sense of circularity that reflects the cyclical nature of life, echoing literary influences ranging from existentialist philosophers to modernist poets, thereby situating the work within a broader discourse on identity and transformation. John Thomas, an acclaimed author known for his psychological depth and poignant character studies, draws upon his own experiences with loss and recovery to craft 'Anastasis.' His literary journey has often been marked by a profound exploration of how the past shapes the present, a theme vividly illustrated in this novel. Thomas's background in psychology and literary criticism enriches his storytelling, allowing readers to engage deeply with the emotional landscapes of his characters. I highly recommend 'Anastasis' to readers looking for a thought-provoking narrative that challenges conventional notions of life and afterlife. This book will resonate with anyone seeking solace and understanding in the complexities of the human experience, making it a compelling addition to any literary collection.

Shoot or Cut Bait

William W. Johnstone, J. A....

When he's not at the local pond trying to catch an uncatchable catfish named Bubba, "Catfish" Charlie Tuttle can usually be found at the Lone Star Outpost with his old pal Deputy Brazos and the post's lovely owner Julia Claire. Catfish has a sweet spot for Julia, so he's more than a little worried when she announces she's taking a stagecoach to Tombstone, Arizona. The stage runs through hostile territory, including a treacherous valley crawling with outlaws. Sure enough, Julia's stagecoach never makes it to Tombstone . . . 
 
Even though Arizona is outside his jurisdiction, Catfish saddles up with Brazos and heads into outlaw country to find Julia. It's not long before they run into a gang of renegade soldiers led by a lunatic, Major Boneyard. Turns out Boneyard hid an arsenal of weapons on Julia's stagecoach, which he plans to sell to the Apache for gold. When their plan's revealed, the soldiers take Brazos hostage—leaving Catfish alone, outnumbered, and outgunned. Of course, that won't stop Catfish from trying to rescue his friends. Even if it leads him across the Mexican border—and into a full-blown war with the legendary El Serpiente, a poison-mean revolutionario who has a coiled serpent tattooed under his left eye . . .

Too Soon A Man

Larry D. Kendrick

A young boy plunged too soon into manhood when the death of his parents left him alone to fend for himself in a world where it's dog eat dog. Only fourteen years old in 1954, he meets a hobo who educates him about "riding the rails," and he catches a freight train in Fort Worth, Texas, headed for California. The trip is long, cold, and dangerous, but he is determined and strong willed. The boy finally makes it to a farm labor camp in California, where he finds his long-lost older brother, and they set out on new adventures. Hard times and new friends are in store for him. The book discusses how people who were looked down on as "Okies" during and after the Great Depression were able to rise up, accomplishing great deeds and dedication to their country. There is loss of loved ones and romance, an action-packed, historically correct novel that will leave one spellbound and wanting more. It's an entertaining, informative, and heartwarming reading experience. This is an autobiographical work of fiction that is loosely based on the real-life events of the author.
