Bøker av Phil Clarke

"Falling Night is startlingly real as it recalls the dangerously shifting sands of tribal alliances, western political agendas, and brutality that have characterised Africa's recent wars. Yet Clarke dares to suggest that inside the worst that the world has to offer, love wins." Dr. Nik Ripken, author of The Insanity of God Alan Swales is no hero and no saint. Bored by a successful, yet dull life in Britain with his girlfriend, Mandy, he decides to become an aid worker in Africa to experience adventure and acquire anecdotes to impress his mates. Plunged into a civil war waged by vicious warlords and their child soldiers, Alan has to make unexpected choices about the direction of his life as well as his relationship with Mandy. As the situation deteriorates, he hears rumours of a hidden genocide, which leads him on a dangerous quest for evidence in the face of almost insurmountable obstacles.

Large print version A more appropriate title for this publication might be 'Memoir of a Nobody'. And perhaps such a venture might be seen as self-indulgent. But then why, in these days of technological possibility, shouldn't us nobodies enjoy a little freedom to indulge and express ourselves in ways traditionally reserved for high achievers or those with a dynamic, unusual or interesting past? Whether my experiences are worthy as entertainment or grabbing interest, only you can judge. Take a look inside for free. Following 175-pages of reflections on my first 4-decades of life, I've included the 60-page memoir my dad wrote two years before he died in 1998

Contains three of Wilde's short stories adapted into plays for young children: "The Selfish Giant", "The Happy Prince" and "The Devoted Friend".
