Download or read book Bridge of Sighs written by Richard Russo and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-09-25 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls comes "a magnificent, bighearted” novel (The Boston Globe) about small-town America that follows Louis Charles Lynch (“Lucy”) and his wife of forty years as they prepare to embark on a vacation to Italy. Lucy is sixty years old and has spent his entire life in Thomaston, New York. Like his late, beloved father, Lucy is an optimist, though he’s had plenty of reasons not to be—chief among them his mother, still indomitably alive. Yet it was her shrewdness, combined with that Lynch optimism, that had propelled them years ago to the right side of the tracks and created an “empire” of convenience stores about to be passed on to the next generation. Lucy's oldest friend, once a rival for his wife's affection, leads a life in Venice far removed from Thomaston. In fact, the exact nature of their friendship is one of the many mysteries Lucy hopes to untangle in the “history” he’s writing of his hometown and family. And with his story interspersed with that of Noonan, the native son who’d fled so long ago, the destinies building up around both of them (and Sarah, too) are relentless, constantly surprising, and utterly revealing. Look for Richard Russo's new book, Somebody's Fool, coming soon.
Book Synopsis A Holiday Tradition by : Chrissy Munder
Download or read book A Holiday Tradition written by Chrissy Munder and published by JMS Books LLC. This book was released on 2021-12-18 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the things in life you’re going to regret? Paul Carpenter is trying to atone for his youthful mistakes. That’s why he’s working on a finance degree to make his father happy, rather than pursuing his passion for art. He didn’t expect to spend winter in the balmy sunshine of a Florida RV park with the maternal grandfather he barely remembers, but with his leg in a cast and a paper to write, it’s the perfect way to avoid the distractions of his favorite holiday. Then he meets sexy, hardworking Kevin Lombardo, the owner of the RV park. For Paul, Kevin's a distraction he can't -- or doesn't want to -- avoid. When Grandpa Louie, a self-confessed geriatric Casanova, infects Paul's laptop with ransomware, he finds himself working closely with Kevin on the borrowed office computer. He's also drawn into park life, seeing firsthand the passion Kevin brings to his work, and how genuine job satisfaction can create a family for all. As for Kevin himself, he wants Paul to celebrate the joy of the holidays, despite the lack of snow and cold, and he doesn’t want him to settle for a life he doesn’t desire. With the help of Grandpa Louie and a handful of interfering park residents, can Kevin help Paul create a new holiday tradition they both can share?

Book Synopsis Inventing American Tradition by : Jack David Eller
Download or read book Inventing American Tradition written by Jack David Eller and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2018-09-15 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What really happened on the first Thanksgiving? How did a British drinking song become the US national anthem? And what makes Superman so darned American? Every tradition, even the noblest and most cherished, has a history, none more so than in the United States—a nation born with relative indifference, if not hostility, to the past. Most Americans would be surprised to learn just how recent (and controversial) the origins of their traditions are, as well as how those origins are often related to such divisive forces as the trauma of the Civil War or fears for American identity stemming from immigration and socialism. In pithy, entertaining chapters, Inventing American Tradition explores a set of beloved traditions spanning political symbols, holidays, lifestyles, and fictional characters—everything from the anthem to the American flag, blue jeans, and Mickey Mouse. Shedding light on the individuals who created these traditions and their motivations for promoting them, Jack David Eller reveals the murky, conflicted, confused, and contradictory history of emblems and institutions we very often take to be the bedrock of America. What emerges from this sideways take on our most celebrated Americanisms is the realization that all traditions are invented by particular people at particular times for particular reasons, and that the process of “traditioning” is forever ongoing—especially in the land of the free.

But how did this 19th-century Russian ballet become such a big part of the holidays in 21st-century America? Meet Willam, Harold, and Lew Christensen, three small-town Utah boys who caught the ballet bug in the early 1900s. They performed on vaudeville and took part in the New York City dance scene.

It was America's first full-length version and the beginning of a delightful holiday tradition.
Book Synopsis Keeping Christmas by : Kathleen Stokker
Download or read book Keeping Christmas written by Kathleen Stokker and published by Borealis Book. This book was released on 2000 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings home the stories and origins of the treasured customs which Norwegians use to celebrate the Christmas season. Norwegian immigrants carried with them centuries-old folk tradition, which they held especially dear at Christmas time, remembering family members left behind. But the US, the immigrants and their descendants met the newly evolving traditions of the commercial American Christmas, a powerful homogenising force in a nation of immigrants. Stokker describes and traces the development of folkways on both side of the ocean, from their origins to their practice today. With fascinating details, with scores of accounts of ancient and modern Christmases, with recipes and photographs, this book reminds Norwegians and Norwegian Americans of their connections to each other and explains how their celebrations differ on this joyous family holiday.
