Sinopsis

In "A Bunch of Rope Yarns," Stanton H. King masterfully weaves a tapestry of maritime tales that explore the intricate life aboard a sailing ship. His narrative style is vividly descriptive, resonating with the rhythms of the sea and the camaraderie among sailors. Set against the backdrop of nautical traditions, King's work reflects a keen understanding of maritime culture, skillfully blending adventure with introspective moments that capture the essence of seafaring life. This collection of stories not only entertains but also serves as a homage to the forgotten realms of naval history, where every knot and rope yarn has a tale to tell. Stanton H. King, an accomplished sailor himself, draws from rich personal experiences and a passion for the ocean that has been deeply embedded in his identity. His life's journey through the unpredictable waters has granted him unique insight into the lives of those who call the sea home. This close connection to the maritime world undoubtedly informs the authenticity and emotional depth found in his narratives, making them resonate with both seafarers and landlubbers alike. "A Bunch of Rope Yarns" offers readers a captivating glimpse into the life of sailors, making it an essential read for anyone intrigued by nautical adventures and the indomitable spirit of exploration. King's compelling storytelling invites readers to embark on a journey that is not only about the sea but also about the human experience, making it a must-have in any literary collection.

    BLADE RUNNER 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY RIDLEY SCOTT 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Blade Runner is a 1982 science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott, set in a dystopian future Los Angeles. It follows Rick Deckard, a former police officer tasked with hunting down and "retiring" rogue replicants—biologically engineered humans. The replicants, led by Roy Batty, have escaped to Earth seeking longer lifespans. As Deckard pursues them, he grapples with questions about humanity, identity, and morality. The film blends neo-noir, cyberpunk, and philosophical themes, exploring artificial intelligence, empathy, and the boundaries between human and machine. With its atmospheric visuals and haunting score by Vangelis, Blade Runner became a cult classic. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    "Director Ridley Scott and director of photography Jordan Cronenweth achieved the famous 'shining eyes' effect by using a technique invented by Fritz Lang known as the 'Schüfftan Process.' Light is bounced into the actors' eyes off of a piece of half-mirrored glass mounted at a 45-degree angle to the camera." 
      
    "Sir Ridley Scott regards this movie as probably his most personal and complete work." 
      
    "According to Rutger Hauer's biography, the final confrontation between Rick Deckard and Roy Batty was initially planned to be a fight in an old gym using martial arts, like kung-fu. Hauer disliked the idea, saying it was 'too Bruce Lee', and proposed Batty chasing Deckard instead."

    The perfect gift book for Guinness lovers, served here.
    How did a beer from Dublin become a globally renowned symbol of Ireland?
    In 1759, Arthur Guinness left behind his family's small brewery in County Kildare to seek his fortunes in Dublin. After acquiring the ill-equipped St James' Gate brewery, he soon began to produce the Guinness stout that has become world famous.
    Rory Guinness, a direct descendant of the brewery's founder, has written the insider's guide to the world of Guinness. He surveys the family history, the unique brewing process, the brewery's distinctive industrial architecture and the beer's legendary advertising, revealing how Guinness and its people became interwoven into the fabric of Dublin life and created a brewing legacy that stretches around the world.
    This is also the story of a remarkable resurgence, because Guinness is now the bestselling beer in the UK, while Guinness Zero is reaching new markets. It is the official beer of the English Premier League, and a long-term partner of rugby's men's and women's Six Nations Championship.
    World of Guinness is a revised, expanded and redesigned edition of Rory Guinness's classic short introduction, illustrated with archival images, new photography of the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin and a selection of Guinness's witty advertisements. It is published in hardback for the first time and makes a perfect gift.
