Todd Nelson, a retired educator, builds upon the success of his critically acclaimed debut essay collection, Cold Spelll. In this new compilation, Nelson delves into his Maine experiences, weaving together a series of concise essays. Unlike the traditional focus on specific locations, these essays center around the art of observation. While readers will recognize the Maine setting, the precise locales remain intentionally elusive. The Land Between the Rivers invites readers to explore the act of seeing, fostering a deeper connection with place, language, and storytelling. It encourages us to peer beyond mere appearances and engage in the realm of imagination.

English | ASIN: B0DDVSHWCR | 2024 | 22 hours and 17 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 634 MB
Author: Bartle Bull
Narrator: Jonathan Keeble

Land Between the Rivers is the result of ten years of research, writing, and thinking about the subject. It is an enormous topic: five thousand years, beginning with Gilgamesh at the edge of historical time. It is a big topic in another way. More than anywhere else, the famous Land Between the Rivers, where civilization was born, where East and West have mixed and clashed since long before Alexander, has led an existence that could be called, from a certain perspective, a history of the world. We begin the story with ancient Sumer, and Gilgamesh building the walls of Uruk (‘Iraq’) to make a great name for himself around the turn of the third millennium BC. We end it in 1958, as the last royal family of Iraq is slaughtered on the steps of a small royal palace in Baghdad, the most effervescent, free, and promising capital in the Middle East. Above all, the story of Iraq, the world’s hinge country, is that of the great clash pitting humanism against the outlooks of power and fate.

Every family has its secrets. Josephina "Joey" Harris wouldn’t mind if her family still had a few of their own after a lawsuit tarnishes their name. When an opportunity opens to become a temporary keeper of a decommissioned lighthouse on a North Carolina island, she takes the opportunity to escape the scrutiny of her small town to oversee its restoration.
Soon Joey discovers strange notes tucked deep in the crevices of the lighthouse’s old stone walls-pages torn from a keeper’s log recounting harrowing rescues at sea. When things start to go amiss on the island, locals are convinced that it is the ghost of the lighthouse keeper and his daughter who were lost at sea during World War II.
As Joey sifts through decades of rumors and legends and puts together the pieces of the past, a love story emerges-one that’s clearly not over yet.
