To Catch a Fish - Essays on the...

Mark Kurlansky

From the award-winning, New York Times best-selling author of Cod and Salt, To Catch a Fish is an entertaining and beautifully written illustrated collection of essays that explore a lifetime fascination with fishing.    For as long as there have been humans, there have been humans trying to catch fish. The two species—fish and man—live in constant tension. One chases the other. One tries to get away. Some of us—author Mark Kurlansky included—are hard-wired for that chase. Guiding readers through the waters and into the mind of the fish, Kurlansky considers who fish are and why they behave the way they do, and along the way delves into the many approaches to catching a fish, their ecology, and the ins and outs of cooking and eating your catch. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a novice, or simply want to explore the world of fish, the forty short essays in this collection and the dazzling illustrations by Bri Dostie, shed new light on these creatures and our relationship to them.

Her Lover - From their pens to...

Maxim Gorky

Alexei Maximovich Peshkov was born on 28th March 1868, in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.
Better known as Maxim Gorky he was orphaned at 11 and ran away from home at 12. At 19 he had already attempted suicide and thereafter travelled, by foot, across the Russian Empire for 5 years.
His first book ‘Essays & Stories’ in 1898 was a sensation and so began a long career as an author of short stories, novels and plays. Gorky saw writing as a moral and political act that would help to change the unjust world around him. He was an ardent early advocate of the emerging Marxist movement and publicly opposed the Tsarist regime leading several times to his arrest.
In 1904 he began his own theatre but the censor banned every play and Gorky was forced to abandon the project.
But Gorky was a financially successful author, editor, and playwright and gave monies to political parties as well as for civil rights and social reform. The brutal shooting of workers, which set in motion the Revolution of 1905, pushed Gorky more decisively toward radical solutions.
In 1906 he went to the United States to raise funds for the Bolsheviks. Those experiences including a scandal over travelling with his lover and not his wife deepened his contempt for the ‘bourgeois soul.’
Gorky now moved to Capri in Italy, both for health reasons and to escape the increasingly repressive times in Russia.
An amnesty for the 300th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty saw him return to Russia in 1914. His politics remained close to the Bolshevik cause. But soon, after the 1918 revolution, his essays referred to Lenin as a tyrant for his senseless arrests and repression. He was soon appealing to the outside world for food aid after the catastrophic crop failure.
In October 1921 Gorky returned to Italy, now in Fascist hands, and settled in Sorrento until 1932. His health worsened with the onset of tuberculosis.
He wrote several successful books there but now decided to find an understanding with the communist regime. Stalin invited him home and his return was hailed as a major propaganda victory. He was decorated with the Order of Lenin, and a province, a park, and various streets re-named in his honour.
But he had his faults too. In 1933, Gorky co-edited a book on the White Sea-Baltic Canal and denied even a single prisoner died during its construction, but thousands had. As well, knowing that some Nazis were homosexual, a phrase was attributed to him that said ‘exterminate all homosexuals and fascism will vanish’. Although he was himself was quoting another he was decidedly homophobic.
With the increase of Stalinist repression in 1935 Gorky was placed under unannounced house arrest.
Maxim Gorky died on the 18th June 1936 from pneumonia. He was 68.
Stalin and Molotov were among those who carried Gorky's urn of ashes at his funeral.

Hell's Angels - The Gang's...

Vines Graener

1. The Labor Day Run
For the Hell’s Angels, the Labor Day Run was their crowning event—an annual spectacle of chaos and hedonism. It was a time for drinking, fighting, unrestrained indulgence, and drugs. The event could attract anywhere from a couple hundred to a thousand bikers, all coming together for a weekend of pure debauchery. It wasn’t uncommon for the festivities to spiral out of control with violence, reckless behavior, and, in some cases, random fornication.
2. The Hell's Angels Emblem
The Hell’s Angels are instantly recognizable by their iconic emblem: a winged skull wearing a motorcycle helmet. This patch, often sewn onto the back of a sleeveless denim jacket, is a mark of belonging and defiance. Members typically sport long, wild hair and thick beards, embracing a rugged, untamed look. As a statement of both style and practicality, their belts are sometimes made from motorbike chains—useful not only as accessories but also as makeshift weapons when necessary.
3. Oakland: The Heart of the Hell's Angels
By 1965, Oakland had firmly established itself as the epicenter of the Hell’s Angels, with the city acting as a base for their growing empire. However, tensions were rising when the Diablos, a rival gang, made a move to challenge the Angels. The conflict escalated after a lone Angel was brutally attacked by the Diablos, prompting the Hell’s Angels to take matters into their own hands. In a swift act of retaliation, the Angels hunted down and beat each member of the Diablo gang, ultimately forcing them to disband.
