MEMOIRS OF A VILLAGE BOY is a life story, but not an entire autobiography. The main character Frederik Brocard talks about his childhood and his friends, and about the neighborhood where he grew up, the neighbors and other local residents. It is a story about everyday events, but also about love and loss, about joy and sadness, amorous encounters, and erotic escapades. It is about his social life then and now and the return to his native village after years of residence in France. He finds new neighbors and new friends and feels like the village boy of yesteryear again. It is a mixture of factual experiences with a nod to the truth, and events that originated entirely from the author's brain. What is autobiographical is a question to which the answer will remain shrouded in darkness. Fact and fantasy, always with a quip, are connected to each other. It is a story about a life as a life could have been.

There was a point in my life's journey when it looked as though all hope had been lost, and there I stood, a small boy in a world that seemed cruel and merciless, surrounded by the ruins of my hopes and dreams. It was a period when I could not foresee the possibility of rising from the depths of hopelessness to the heights of inspiration. It was a time when my life resembled a bud struggling to sprout from the unlikeliest of rocks. Yet, here I stand, the author of "The Bud from the Rocks," a living testament to the resilience of the human spirit. This book is not just a story; it is a chronicle of my journey, from homelessness and despair to becoming an internationally acclaimed teacher, a published author, and a motivational speaker. It is a reminder that, in the face of adversity, one can rise, not despite the challenges but because of them. Within these pages, you will embark on a transformative voyage with me. You will witness the moments of heartbreak and despair, the trials that tested the very essence of my being. But more importantly, you will share in the triumphs, both big and small, that transformed me from a village boy who knew nothing of the world to an educator who imparts knowledge with love. You will witness the extraordinary power of faith, determination, and the unwavering support of those who believed in me. "The Bud from the Rocks" is a must-read for anyone who has faced adversity, for everyone who has contemplated giving up, or who believes that the obstacles before them are insurmountable. It is a reminder that, like a bud rising from the unlikeliest of rocks, limitations are mere figments of our imagination. It is a testament to the fact that, even in the darkest of times, God's divine grace is our beacon of hope. I invite you to turn the pages of "The Bud from the Rocks" and join me on this incredible journey. May you find solace, inspiration, and the unwavering belief that, with faith and resilience, even the unlikeliest of buds can sprout from the rocks. EDWIN OMARI MOKAYA-PROFESSOR

Kevin James was brought up in a humble home in rural Somerset in the 1950s, the son of a rabbit catcher and a farm labourer’s daughter. Despite poor health he soon learned how to fend for himself and make a bob or two by cutting the grass and doing odd jobs for wealthier neighbours. As he grew older he became something of a tearaway who had more than his fair share of scrapes in pubs and on motor bikes, but in later years he set up a successful metal fabrication company, making enough cash to buy a share in a winning racehorse. Kevin never forgot the difficult years he had grown through, years he remembers vividly for the music and the news that was current at the time. In this unusual autobiography he matches up the chapters of his life story and a string of anecdotes from the times with the news headlines and top ten hits of each of the key years of his life.

There are three bestsellers of Galician literature: The Carpenter's Pencil by Manuel Rivas, a love story set in the Spanish Civil War; Winter Letters by Agustín Fernández Paz, about a man who decides to find out if a haunted house is really haunted (this title is also available from Small Stations Press); and perhaps most famously of all Memoirs of a Village Boy by Xosé Neira Vilas. This book, according to Wikipedia, is the most published work of Galician literature and has sold 700,000 copies in the Galician language. Now this work is being made available in an English translation by John Rutherford, founder of the Centre for Galician Studies at Oxford University and translator of Don Quixote and La Regenta for Penguin Classics. The book is a diary kept by Balbino, a village boy, 'in other words a nobody'. In the first chapter, he describes the village as 'a mixture of mud and smoke, where the dogs howl and the people die "when God sees fit"'. He would like to see the world, to go over seas and lands he doesn't know. He was born and brought up in the village, but now it feels small, cramped, as if he was living in a beehive. Behind the detailed description of village life, there is a fierce indictment of the iniquities of Galicia's feudal system, which is remarkable in a book first published in 1961, at the height of Franco's rule. Memoirs of a Village Boy paints a picture of the hardships and hard-won joys of life in a Galician village in the middle of the twentieth century, a life that was once common, but is now distant from our technology-dominated lives. It is a book to relish as one is transported by the richness of the language to another place and time.
