  The house was built when I was nine years old at the place where our old house was torn down because it was too old to live in. That old house was built about 100 years ago. My ancestors lived at exactly the same spot generation after generation for over 1000 years since my family used to be a landlord of the area. We are here for around 63 generations. My father succeeded the family from my grandfather, and I would have been the next successor if I hadn’t left home to be a musician. Because my father failed the family business and didn’t have the next successor for help, he had sold pieces of our ancestor’s land one by one. Now his money has finally dried up and he can’t afford to keep the last land where the house stands. 
  When my grandfather passed away nine years ago, he complained to me again about financial help I wouldn’t lend. I promptly suggested that he should sell the house and its land. He got furious at my suggestion. He shouted, “How could you say something like that? Do you really think it’s possible? All ancestors of ours lived here! I live to continue our lineage right here for my entire life! Selling the house means ending our family lineage! It’s impossible!!” He bawled me out like a crazy man while banging the floor repeatedly with a DVD that I had brought for him as a Father’s Day gift. 
  But nine years later, the time inevitably came. Considering his mad fury about selling the house back then, it was easy for me to imagine that he planned to set fire on the house during the night I would stay and kill my mother and me along with himself. That seemed the true reason why he wanted me to come back. Those murder-suicide cases sometimes happen in Japan, especially among families with long history.

  Read by the author, Dragged Up Proppa is the story of growing up working class in a forgotten England.'Very compelling, beautifully written memoir of a time and England that no longer exists but remains just as important today as ever' – Sebastian Payne, author of Broken HeartlandsPip Fallow was born in the coal-miner’s cottage where his family of eight lived, in a village near Durham. Pip was destined to join his father down the pit, but the closure of his village’s mine in the 1980s saw him at the back of the dole queue like the rest. This is Pip’s story of being ‘dragged up proppa’, living by his wits, working and travelling the world – before finally settling a few miles from where he grew up.A lot has been written about the red wall in recent years, but Pip Fallow has lived it. This is his account of some of the most important issues affecting Britain today – from levelling-up and the north-south divide, to social mobility and class, and the devastating social upheaval caused by decades of deindustrialization and government neglect. He shows how broken promises of the past impact his village and the politics of today.This is the memoir of a man who left school illiterate, but has now written a book. The story of a lost generation who were prepared for a life that had disappeared by the time they were ready for it, of communities with once strong social ties that have now disintegrated, and a way of living that simply no longer exists in Britain today.'Fallow's memoir is not just a classic piece of working-class writing, but a truly gripping narrative' – Brian Groom, author of Northerners: A History

  Buckle up, health warriors and vitality seekers – because we're diving headfirst into the whirlwind life of **Viktoras Kulvinskas**, the Lithuanian lightning bolt who electrified the world of holistic healing! Born on February 23, 1939, in the resilient heart of Kaunas, Lithuania, amid the thunder of World War II, Viktoras burst onto the scene like a supernova – a kid forged in fire, destined to outshine the stars of conventional medicine with the raw, radiant energy of nature's own superfoods! 
  Picture this: A young Viktoras, sharp as a laser, storms the halls of academia, earning his Master's in pure mathematics from the University of Connecticut. He's not just crunching numbers – he's decoding the universe! Teaching math at the same university, his mind races like a high-octane engine, consulting for the elite: MIT's brainiacs, the Smithsonian's cosmic explorers, Harvard's heavy-hitters, and even the Apollo Project's moonshot dreamers. But hold on tight – this rocket scientist's heart was screaming for something bigger, bolder, *bursting* with life! In 1967, fate flips the script: Viktoras discovers the electric pulse of the natural health movement through Dr. Ann Wigmore's Rising Sun Christianity in Boston. Boom! He heals himself from the inside out, trading calculators for wheatgrass juicers, and within two heart-pounding years, he and Ann ignite the **Hippocrates Health Institute** – America's first holistic health powerhouse, born in 1956 and supercharged in the late '60s! 
  Fast-forward to today, and at 86 years young, Viktoras is still blazing trails from his vibrant haven in Montezuma, Costa Rica – a living testament that age is just a number when your fuel is pure, plant-powered fire! And now you get to immerse yourself in his audiobook where he give you his ALL! "There are no incurable diseases if you harmonize with nature's roar!" Enjoy!
