Mascot

By: Antony John

This witty, heartfelt story about perseverance in the face of adversity is perfect for fans of R. J. Palacio, Cammie McGovern, and John David Anderson. Noah Savino has been stuck in a wheelchair for months. He hates the way people treat him like he’s helpless now. He’s sick of going to physical therapy, where he isn’t making any progress. He’s tired of not having control over his own body. And he misses playing baseball—but not as much as he misses his dad, who died in the car accident that paralyzed Noah. Noah is scared he’ll never feel like his old self again. He doesn’t want people to think of him as different for the rest of his life. With the help of family and friends, he’ll have to throw off the mask he’s been hiding behind and face the fears that have kept him on the sidelines if he ever wants to move forward.

British Thrillers, 1950-1979

845 Films of Suspense, Mystery, Murder and Espionage

By: Franz Antony Clinton

The three decades following WWII are considered the golden age of the British thriller film. Newer characters like James Bond, along with established icons such as Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple and The Saint, all contributed to the era's bountiful array of cinematic mystery, danger, excitement and suspense. For the first time, the extensive output of British thrillers from 1950 to 1979 is covered in one volume. Themed chapters cover a total of 845 films including spy thrillers, mystery thrillers, psychological thrillers, action-adventure thrillers, and crime thrillers. Within these chapters, films appear chronologically, each with a synopsis/review. Additional information provided for each film includes production companies and alternate British and U.S. titles, and the work includes eight useful appendices.

Plays: Five

By: Antony J Stowers

A Horse With No Name - Iraq, the spring of 2003. The Battle of Baghdad rages. One retired Iraqi soldier - Ali - and one active American soldier - Rick - are trapped by rubble in a secret basement bar. Rick and Ali somehow make it through the two acts without killing each other but getting to know each other instead, finally ending up on the roof where they play a real-time game of Classic pool - not a staged game - which, depending on who wins the game - offers alternate endings to the play. . . . One Of The Lads - As NATO forces enter Iraq the media feeds a constant river of images of war into the daily lives of millions in Britain through TV. One such home is that of a young waster who has just died injecting heroin with two other lowlifes and one ambitious young woman determined to alter her destiny whatever the cost. Violence overseas or violence at home - what's the difference? . . . The Next Life - Blended as a hybrid theatre play/film from the book 'All this is mine' by Tony Stowers, this is the story of a young northern dealer drifting through London's post-Thatcherist underbelly in the early 90's. Rob Barlow is the key antagonist whose imagination and paranoia conflict in a seedy London of hustlers and thieves, pimps and backstabbers, corrupt journalists and nouveaux riche wasters, as he drifts inexorably to a disaster that offers a slim strand of redemption. . . . X - Saturday night beneath the plastic palm tree and two pairs of dissatisfied male friends who've never met before (one gay couple, the other straight) hit town. By Sunday, one will have been re-born, one will have won insight, one will have lost everything and one will still be bad at playing Dominoes. Originally entitled 'A Town Called X' and in part inspired by the title of the American film 'American History X' and the murder of Matthew Shepherd by homophobes in the late 90's in mid-west America, 'X' is performed over 60 minutes, promenade style in untypical spaces and with the music of David Bowie. 'X' is a challenging but important piece of work . It was translated into Czech and performed at Prague Pride in August 2015 and then toured in Czech Republic, Slovakia and Germany.

British Engagement with Japan, 1854–1922

By: Antony Best

British Engagement with Japan, 1854–1922

The Origins and Course of an Unlikely Alliance

By: Antony Best

This book by a leading authority on Anglo-Japanese relations reconsiders the circumstances which led to the unlikely alliance of 1902 to 1922 between Britain, the leading world power of the day and Japan, an Asian, non-European nation which had only recently emerged from self-imposed isolation. Based on extensive original research the book goes beyond existing accounts which concentrate on high politics, strategy and simple assertions about the two countries’ similarities as island empires. It brings into the picture cultural factors, particularly the ways in which Japan was portrayed in Britain, and ambivalent British attitudes to race and supposed European superiority which were overcome but remained difficulties. It charts how the relationship developed as events unfolded, including Japan’s wars against China and Russia, and in addition looks at royal diplomacy, where the Japanese Court came eventually to be treated as a respected equal. Overall, the book provides a major reassessment of this important subject.

From Patmos to Paradise

From Patmos to Paradise

John's Vision of Heaven

By: V. Antony J. Alaharasan

Many people avoid reading the Book of Revelation. It just seems too frightening. It is filled with blaring thunder, strange beasts, mayhem and death. Indeed, Revelation describes a brutal adversary that is in utter rebellion against the good and seduces many to turn from the truth and embrace the darkness. But Fr. Antony Alaharasan shows that the book is full of love, hope, mercy and spectacular insight into the wonders of heaven. Indeed, Fr. Antony manages to convey a sense of the ecstasy that John was caught up in when he experienced the vision and gives us a hint of what God has in store for us who love him. John, the disciple whom Jesus loved, authored the fourth Gospel, two epistles and the Book of Revelation also known as the Apocalypse. Because St. John wrote Revelation from his exile on the island of Patmos, Fr. Antony visited Patmos to view first hand the cave where John was imprisoned and the magnificent monastery built ten centuries ago to honor of this great saint.

The Private Life of Lord Byron

By: Antony Peattie

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Private Life of Lord Byron

By: Antony Peattie

The great Romantic poet Lord Byron starved himself compulsively for most of his life. His behaviour mystified his friends and other witnesses, yet he never imagined he was ill. Instead, he rationalised his behaviour as a fight for spiritual freedom and made it the cornerstone of his heroic ideal, which was central to his work and to his life and his death. This fresh biographical study aims to explore neglected or misunderstood aspects of his private life to illuminate his writing, his affairs with women, his passion for Napoleon and his conflicted friendships with Coleridge and Shelley. This in turn leads to a new understanding of his masterpiece, Don Juan. 15 July 2019 marks the 200th anniversary of its first publication. Antony Peattie situates these patterns of behaviour in a vividly rendered contemporary world, culminating in Byron’s last days in Greece, where he tried to starve himself into heroic leadership but damaged his constitution, resulting in his death at the age of thirty-six.
