Book Synopsis Chronicles of My Life by : Donald Keene
Download or read book Chronicles of My Life written by Donald Keene and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I sometimes think that if, as the result of an accident, I were to lose my knowledge of Japanese, there would not be much left for me. Japanese, which at first had no connection with my ancestors, my literary tastes, or my awareness of myself as a person, has become the central element of my life." In this eloquent and wholly absorbing memoir, the renowned scholar Donald Keene shares more than half a century of his extraordinary adventures as a student of Japan. Keene begins with an account of his bittersweet childhood in New York; then he describes his initial encounters with Asia and Europe and the way in which World War II complicated that experience. He captures the sights, scents, and sounds of Japan as they first enveloped him, and talks of the unique travels and well-known intellectuals who later shaped the contours of his academic career. Keene traces the movement of his passions with delicacy and subtlety, deftly weaving his love for Japan into a larger narrative about identity and home and the circumstances that led a Westerner to find solace in a country on the opposite side of the world. Chronicles of My Life is not only a fascinating tale of two cultures colliding, but also a thrilling account of the emotions and experiences that connect us all, regardless of our individual origins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Few memoirs have the concision, modesty, and charm that mark this late-life work by . . . America’s most renowned scholar and interpreter of Japan.”—Foreword Reviews In this eloquent and wholly absorbing memoir, the renowned scholar Donald Keene shares more than half a century of his extraordinary adventures as a student of Japan. Keene begins with an account of his bittersweet childhood in New York; then he describes his initial encounters with Asia and Europe and the way in which World War II complicated that experience.

Chronicles of My Life is not only a fascinating tale of two cultures colliding, but also a thrilling account of the emotions and experiences that connect us all, regardless of our individual origins. “Lovingly illustrated by the artist Akira Yamaguchi, the book limns a life inseparably linked to its dominant passion . . . The history is fascinating, and the literary life Keene has doggedly carved out of it, remarkable.”—Time, Asia Edition “Keene’s book soars, largely because of his intriguing, highly personal account of the literary milieu of Japan, particularly its drama, whether on stage or screen . . . [An] engaging and eloquent memoir.”—Times Literary Supplement
Book Synopsis The Book of My Life by : Girolamo Cardano
Download or read book The Book of My Life written by Girolamo Cardano and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2002-10-31 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bright star of the Italian Renaissance, Girolamo Cardano was an internationally-sought-after astrologer, physician, and natural philosopher, a creator of modern algebra, and the inventor of the universal joint. Condemned by the Inquisition to house arrest in his old age, Cardano wrote The Book of My Life, an unvarnished and often outrageous account of his character and conduct. Whether discussing his sex life or his diet, the plots of academic rivals or meetings with supernatural beings, or his deep sorrow when his beloved son was executed for murder, Cardano displays the same unbounded curiosity that made him a scientific pioneer. At once picaresque adventure and campus comedy, curriculum vitae, and last will, The Book of My Life is an extraordinary Renaissance self-portrait—a book to set beside Montaigne's Essays and Benvenuto Cellini's Autobiography.

Book Synopsis Alcott in Her Own Time by : Daniel Shealy
Download or read book Alcott in Her Own Time written by Daniel Shealy and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2005-09 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 1888, twenty years after the publication of Little Women, Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was one of the most popular and successful authors America had yet produced. In her pre-Little Women days, she concocted blood-and-thunder tales for low wages; post-Little Women, she specialized in domestic novels and short stories for children. Collected here for the first time are the reminiscences of people who knew her, the majority of which have not been published since their original appearance in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Many of the printed recollections in this book appeared after Alcott became famous and showcase her as a literary lion, but others focus on her teen years, when she was living the life of Jo March; these intimate glimpses into the life of the Alcott family lead the reader to one conclusion: the family was happy, fun, and entertaining, very much like the fictional Marches. The recollections about an older and wealthier Alcott show a kind and generous, albeit outspoken, woman little changed by her money and status. From Annie Sawyer Downs’s description of life in Concord to Anna Alcott Pratt’s recollections of the Alcott sisters’ acting days to Julian Hawthorne’s neighborly portrait of the Alcotts, the thirty-six recollections in this copiously illustrated volume tell the private and public story of a remarkable life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on my journey, the roller coaster I call life, my thought patterns my experiences. Of how I overcome, many turmoil's, and how it changed my perception. It led me to a destination that gave me tension. Where I felt I had no freedom or free or the will all I had was failure, added with faith, and the hope to overcome another fall. Feeding off the concept as I rise above it all! I lived with fear all my life I had too many frenemies, I was cheated with each stepping stone. I had so many challenges to overcome it was overwhelming. I could not face my dreams my demons took over I had too many night terrors. No freedom to condition or evaluate my passion to cover up and shut another gate. An apple a day kept the doctor away for the apple did not fall far from the tree either they say. Just exercise and shed a tear a day, because every day was a damn bad day, added with another abreaction. Competing with myself, delaying a destination to keep myself from losing another day. What a waste, looking back at it all now I wish I could state another fact, curse those who had it in for me to, somehow, where the assumption of attacking me backfired. Every time I gave up, I would have that thought in the back of my mind, not to give in and just keep fighting back from within. I would set a goal pass or fail, either way, I was just passing through. learning my lesson, now I am certain I was kept hostage by those who knew and assumed they could cave in on me right through. But those goals were based on my faith. Where I had to prevent lost souls from entering. I had too many enemies who wanted to become frenemies in the midst, of all evil. Trying their hardest to harvest in my realm, convincing me otherwise. I gave in, in the hope I had the spirit to fight back. For there was more power in numbers, I was the only person fighting a group. What can I say the knowledge and wisdom took over, I lost my thought pattern. As they say, time is of essence, I was gambling it every day. I needed to learn my lesson to keep up with the programmed and survive a whole lot of lies. I gave in, I knew if I did not, they would win and keep pestering me. Where I was stuck hovering a dark cloud over my head. Trying to prevent the corrupt from re-entering again. Hopefully, I can inspire others who read my book to overcome their challenges to for humanity, has lost its ethnicity and perception of reality. Because of those who create deception, tend to cash in and harm those who are part of the programmed. The situation is a mistake in the long run it creates war and disposition right through! People need people to survive we are driven by it, but the world is a messed-up place. No one really cares unless they have something to show for it. Faith and hope have lost their true value instead of looking from within to get the answers you need. For people go out of their way to feed off others to succeed! They look for victims by reading and entertaining themselves with their thoughts. Bribing deceiving then leading them on a wild goose chase all by getting their hopes up and then throwing them off the raider. I'm so tired of always building a shield around my spirit just so I can breathe. Having said that I am done pretending; I have had my fair share of referendums! It is time I came out of my hard shell and repeated it! Prepare me for the next destination, because I'm a fossil in a divas body here, lock it in !! I was a procrastinator, instead of validating I was constantly fishing for fights, looking for my rights! Where truly I was fighting for my life! Mind reading is a guessing game and those who create a second time around rarely have a chance to repeat it but if you do go back and delete it. Call it the melody of my life!

Download or read book Ellis Island to Ebbets Field written by Peter Levine and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1993-09-09 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ellis Island to Ebbets Field, Peter Levine vividly recounts the stories of Red Auerbach, Hank Greenberg, Moe Berg, Sid Luckman, Nat Holman, Benny Leonard, Barney Ross, Marty Glickman, and a host of others who became Jewish heroes and symbols of the difficult struggle for American success. From settlement houses and street corners, to Madison Square and Fenway Park, their experiences recall a time when Jewish males dominated sports like boxing and basketball, helping to smash stereotypes about Jewish weakness while instilling American Jews with a fierce pride in their strength and ability in the face of Nazi aggression, domestic anti-Semitism, and economic depression. Full of marvelous stories, anecdotes, and personalities, Ellis Island to Ebbets Field enhances our understanding of the Jewish-American experience as well as the struggles of other American minority groups.
