Fist Full of Stories (And Articles)

Product Information

The collection is also delightfully tender, touching on many themes that open the traits of the working class to the universal. It encapsulates what Stephen King does so well – a plucky little girl gets lost in the woods, a shadowy presence stalking her, and something dark, magical, and miraculous emerging from the girl’s soul. But unlike those in uniform they serve not under a flag but a logo, an on-screen ident on whose behalf they will willingly destroy their own lives. The Immortal Weapons miniseries shines a spotlight on each of these champions, expanding the Iron Fist mythology and giving the combatants new depth. Initially, the Berlin Airlift, something remembered with pride and affection, helped create common ground between me as an American and the Berliners.

Although Follett is best known for his epic Kingsbridge Series and thrillers such as Eye of the Needle, this non-fiction piece is as tense and engaging as much of his fiction. His characters get jealous, violent, and sad because their lives are so often dependent upon the whims and desires of people who are rarely, if ever, forced to see what lurks behind their drywall and below their carpet: mice, spiders, and all the wire, pipe, and vent connections that make a house the comfortable and isolated box it can become. Both stories are framed with a challenge that Iron Fist must master – either in the form of a formidable foe, street thugs or ancient test – which is then inter-cut with backstory. It’s a spectacular fight which sees kung-fu take on technology with some great art from a very young John Bryne.Along the way it will continue to widen the Iron Fist mythology, while also introducing some great characters, in the form of the Immortal Weapons. The Journal, "Who would have thought that stories about work could contain such magic, such music, such imaginative universality, so many desperadoes who cling to their jobs as madly as winos to their bottles? Budding journalists and students of creative writing will find plenty of red meat in Gutkind’s pages.

From Shakespeare to the Beatles, from the Norman Conquest to the Second World War, from Roman Britain to Brexit, I have found each period of British and Irish history endlessly fascinating and sharing my passion with students and readers has been one of the great joys of my life. Absolute Friends is one of LeCar ré’s most revealing in terms of his own attitudes about espionage, political ideologies, and their moral ambiguities. Graham Greene is another master craftsman of thriller novels that explore political, moral, and ethical ambiguities in a way that both entertains and provokes. Iron Fist: Danny Rand – The Early Years Omnibus will pull together not only the early color comics but also the black and white comics that appeared in the magazine The Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu! Readers will travel with Trisha on her journey of horror, where she has only her witts for navigation, her ingenuity as a defence against the elements, and her courage and faith to withstand her mounting fear.You might start out, as does Samira, a journalist trying to break out of a dull technical role, with the idea that you will seek out and achieve justice. The ‘fist fight’ seems an apt metaphor to describe Lee Gutkind’s resolute defense of creative nonfiction—in all its forms.
