Executive Betrayal By:Donald C. Boggs Published on 2012-02-27 by Xlibris Corporation As a CIA agent, Dr. Matt Dexter was unique. He was a trained Army Ranger, an expert in close combat and in the use of almost any weapon. He spoke several languages which included the Zulu and Afrikaans of South Africa. He was endowed with more than the usual sexual skills and good looks. He was ordered by his CIA bosses to gain the confidence of the South African President, Salam Namana, and his daughters and reveal sensitive information to the CIA. The corrupt men in the Executive Branch of the American government and the CIA were unhappy with his reluctance to betray the friendship of the South African President, who trusted Matt completely.

Matts quest for revenge took him and Lisa to Washington, D.C. and Jackson Hole...

Middlesex By:Jeffrey Eugenides Published on 2011-07-18 by Vintage Canada Spanning eight decades and chronicling the wild ride of a Greek-American family through the vicissitudes of the twentieth century, Jeffrey Eugenides’ witty, exuberant novel on one level tells a traditional story about three generations of a fantastic, absurd, lovable immigrant family -- blessed and cursed with generous doses of tragedy and high comedy. But there’s a provocative twist. Cal, the narrator -- also Callie -- is a hermaphrodite. And the explanation for this takes us spooling back in time, through a breathtaking review of the twentieth century, to 1922, when the Turks sacked Smyrna and Callie’s grandparents fled for their lives. Back to a tiny village in Asia Minor where two lovers, and one rare genetic mutation, set our narrator’s life in motion. Middlesex is a grand, utterly original fable of crossed bloodlines, the intricacies of gender, and the deep, untidy promptings of desire. It’s a brilliant expl...

The Old Man and the Sea By:Ernest Miller Hemingway Published on 2007-01-01 by Al Manhal This is an Egyptian edition of one of the most internationally celebrated works of fiction, Hemingway’s The old Man and the Sea. A Pulitzer-award and - Noble-prize winner, this work has cer- tainly become so extensively known all over the world, receiving a myriad of critical studies and translations. Hemingway himself could have never imagined such a sweeping success for his novel- la, devised while temporarily staying (for a few weeks) at a fishing village in Cuba. It is not simply the story of a big fish catch, but it is the story of a touching human relationship between old age and younghood, not to mention its highly philosophical message that it carries. All this, apart from other equally significant factors, makes Hemingway’s work worth reading and contemplating. This Book was ranked at 37 by Google Books for keyword Pulitzer Prize.
