208,95 kr. PUBLISHED by CUSTOM BOOK PUBLICATIONS... .... The ashes of the First World War are barely cool. The new regime of USSR is placed under the steel discipline of Stalin. After the short golden age of the Charleston, the industrial world faces its first real hurdle as economies are shaken by the market crashs of the great depression. In Germany a new leader energises the nation, pulling the country out of depression with the iron fist of the dictator. War envelopes the world. Countries of middle Europe are invaded and annexed. After, with an uneasy peace in place, borders are changed and mixed to create countries with new, unheard of names. Old cultures, religions and ideologies are forced to blend into a new unity, hating the moves - the repercussions will be felt for decades, continuing to haunt the nations responsible... A tale of survival... after losing everything, leaving everyting behind, what is left are the truly civilised, profoundly human values the author carried within her when all outward accoutrements have been destroyed.

215,95 kr. In May 1969 seven assisted migrants stepped out of the plane that had touched down in a strange place called Hobart. Jenny Williams, the author of Yenni, was one of those adults.From this time on little of what Jenny and her family knew was of any use to them. Like newborns, they had to learn to exist in a different world. From factory to restaurant work, to new relationships, After the Plane Landed takes the reader into the rich heart of a hard-working family searching for their niche in life.Full of the drama and humour of a life fully lived-love, disappointment, separation and triumph-this is an evocative and compelling read. Much like the author herself, it is inspiring, honest and real. Hobart shimmers and enchants, Europe is never far away, while Jenny welcomes us all, like the best of friends, into her world.ABOUT THE AUTHOR:Eugenia Jenny Williams was born in Kosice, Slovak Republic, and is a recipient of two literary grants from Arts Tasmania. Her autobiographical novel Yenni, A Life Between Worlds was launched by the Premier of Tasmania and voted to be one of the fifteen best read books in Hobart. Her second book, Jenny's Coffee House-After Yenni, became one of the top 10 books in Tasmania, where she now lives.
