Captain Pharto Disciplines The Brats


Book Description

“Phartom of the Opera – A Classic of the Gasses” was a witty and fun written book by Frank A. Pellegrino. Frank was 82 years old when he finished this book and as he so often said, he hoped all who would read this book would not be offended and would enjoy the laughter so many appreciate about Mother Nature and her gastric processes in our bodies. We all at some point in our daily lives experience excessive gas in our stomachs and while some find this disgusting others find very funny. This book “Captain Pharto Disciplines the Brats” is a take off sequel of the return to “Phartom of the Opera – A Classic of the Gasses” You see, writer friends of Aliceanne Pellegrino-Henricks liked to play with Sticks, Bricks and play terrible tricks. Various disciplines on Earth had been applied, but the writer brats became incorrigible and Granny Aliceanne tried out many forms of discipline. When all seemed to fail, Granny Aliceanne went to Captain Pharto and asked for his help in a different kind of discipline. So enjoy your Pharto Blasto Flights throughout the Universe and perhaps you may want to wear a mask while reading. Since Frank passed away December 3, 2006 and was not able to complete his Pharto Blasto Missions with these brats. His widow, Aliceanne agreed to write the finishing episodes and hopefully while disciplining the brats in each episode they will entertain you and bring you much laughter. All the episodes are entertaining and of course untrue and the brats unharmed.

A History of the Gypsies of Eastern Europe and Russia


Book Description

David Crowe draws from previously untapped East European, Russian, and traditional sources to explore the life, history, and culture of the Gypsies, or Roma, from their entrance into the region in the Middle Ages until the present.




The Gypsies of Eastern Europe


Book Description

In recent news coverage of the dramatic political events in Eastern Europe, Gypsies have been a favourite sidebar topic. Some of the stories have been truly horrifying, others are written condescendingly and to amuse; but what has become clear is how little we really know about this people. In a concerted effort to uncover the modern history of the Rom in Eastern Europe, the authors examine the Gypsy experience in Albania, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Yugoslavia, with special attention to the Nazi Holocaust as well as to the record of the forced settlement and education programmes instituted by communist regimes.

Asian Children’s Literature and Film in a Global Age


Book Description

This volume provides a key analysis of Asian children’s literature and film and creates a dialogue between East and West and between the cultures from which they emerge, within the complex symbiosis of their local, national and transnational frameworks. In terms of location and content the book embraces a broad scope, including contributions related to the Asian-American diaspora, China, India, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea, Sri Lanka, and Taiwan. Individually and collectively, these essays broach crucial questions: What elements of Asian literature and film make them distinctive, both within their own specific culture and within the broader Asian area? What aspects link them to these genres in other parts of the world? How have they represented and shaped the societies and cultures they inhabit? What moral codes do they address, underpin, or contest? The volume provides further voice to the increasingly diverse and fascinating output of the region and emphasises the importance of Asian art forms as depictions of specific cultures but also of their connection to broader themes in children’s texts, and scholarship within this field.
