Download or read book Afternoon Tea written by Julia Skinner and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-04-05 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Afternoon Tea: A History explores the development of the afternoon tea meal, diving deeper than the popular tale of the Duchess of Bedford’s afternoon gatherings to find the meals that inspired those early afternoon teas. Julia Skinner carefully separates the fact and lore around the meal and sets the story of afternoon tea within its historic contexts. Recognizing that a meal’s birth and life never happen in a vacuum, the book sets aside the already well-documented conversations surrounding tea etiquette, instead exploring the social contexts that made the meal possible and popular, moving it from one small subset of the population to a widespread and beloved phenomenon, one that nearly died out at the end of the 20th century before experiencing a resurgence in the 21st. Afternoon tea is a meal that came of age during the British Empire’s most aggressive expansion, and as such became a meal that was transported to new continents with colonial forces. The book explores how this movement took place and uncovers the different ways tea and colonialism intersect in both the colonial and postcolonial worlds. It also looks at afternoon tea in America, a country that broke from the Empire before the meal was established as a set ritual, but which still has its own complex relationship with the beverage and a continuing fascination with the meal. The book concludes by looking at afternoon tea today, including a handful of interviews that show the range of perspectives about the meal and its place in society, as well as its resurging popularity in the last decade.

Download or read book Bliss, and Other Stories written by Katherine Mansfield and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the day of Lord Saito Gonji’s birthday arrives, Gonji celebrates with dread, knowing that in a week, he will be married. Sent away in his youth for samurai training, and then to higher education, Gonji is very connected to his studies. After his intelligence is proven, his professors even tell Gonji that he would do great things for Japan one day. However, since he is the youngest son in his family, Gonji is expected to marry—a social expectation that he cannot get around. Now, on his birthday, he is expected to marry a childhood friend, Ohano in one week, which will greatly interfere with his studies. When his family notice how upset Gonji is over the arranged marriage, they grant him one week of pure freedom, allowing him to do whatever he chooses. Soon into the week, Gonji meets a famous dancer. Known by the stage name of Spider, the dancer was at the height of her career after being trained by the most celebrated geisha in Japan. When Spider and Gonji become intimate during the week, their fleeting encounter soon proves to complicate the plans Gonji’s parents made for him. Featuring complex and memorable characters as well as detailed descriptions of Japanese customs and landscapes, The Honorable Miss Moonlight depicts a vivid portrait of 20th century Japan. With themes of gender, sexuality, identity, and a close perspective of the honor/shame culture of Japan in the 1900s, The Honorable Miss Moonlight is as enlightening as it is entertaining. First published in 1912, The Honorable Miss Moonlight is one of Onoto Watanna’s most famous works, yet is rarely found in print. This special edition features a stunning cover design and is printed in an easy-to-read font. With these accommodations, this edition caters to contemporary readers by restoring the novel to modern standards while preserving the original intricacy of Onoto Watanna’s work.

Book Synopsis The Orange Orchard and Other Stories by : Esmeralda Plangesis
Download or read book The Orange Orchard and Other Stories written by Esmeralda Plangesis and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Orange Orchard and Other Stories is a collection of short stories based on personal experiences from childhood onward. There is one thread running through all the stories, namely the tragedy that everyone has to deal with. A Happy Hippy in London Town is a story about my English friend, Liz Stenning, while studying in Sheffield. It was good to see her recover after divorce, but her happiness was short-lived. The Day Blue Came was a joyful day. In the absence of both our parents, it ends in disaster. The killing of black birds seems like an omen pointing to the tragic loss of a very young child. I always recall that fairylike child when playing Willow-the-Wisp pianisimo on the piano. The visit of a beloved uncle also turns into a nightmare. Our father had disappeared into the dark night just like The Saint in one of his favorite 1960s novels. The Show Must Go On! used to be one of his favorite quotes. My mother wrote prophetically in her last letter to me that death is part of life a few weeks before she died in a tragic car crash.

Book Synopsis Love and Other Stories by : Anton Chekhov
Download or read book Love and Other Stories written by Anton Chekhov and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love and Other Stories (1922) is a collection of twenty-three stories by Russian writer Anton Chekhov. Recognized today as foundational for the development of the modern short story, Anton Chekhov has transcended Russian literature to become one of the most popular and acclaimed authors in history, in any language. This collection showcases the author’s unique talent for illuminating the intricacies of love and critiquing the values of social and political circles. In “Love,” an aging bachelor meets a beautiful young woman named Sasha, sending passionate letters and soon proposing to her. Despite signs of irreconcilable differences—namely, Sasha’s youthful innocence and childish disposition—he marries her and soon longs for the freedom of single life. “A Country Cottage” follows a young couple on a moonlit stroll in the vicinity of their humble home. Passing the local train station, they playfully discuss their plans for dinner while remarking on the beauty of the landscape. When a train passes through bearing a group of unexpected visitors, however, they find themselves torn between a longing for solitude and their tedious social obligations. In “The Death of a Government Clerk,” a low-level official accidentally sneezes on the person sitting in front of him during a theater performance, only to realize the man is a prominent General. Horrified, the clerk spends the next day attempting to atone for his mistake, only to enrage the man further. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Anton Chekhov’s Love and Other Stories is a classic of Russian literature reimagined for modern readers.
