Book Synopsis Poetic License by : R.J. Fontinel-Gibran
Download or read book Poetic License written by R.J. Fontinel-Gibran and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-04-14 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: R.J. has arrived once again at a new plateau in her writing. To some extent the collection of poems here are not entirely relative to one another. Ideas and concepts seemingly present themselves from out of the blue or subjects that are fantastical, bent and in some tiny respect imbalanced, conveying to the reader balance it if you may through reading and digesting the subject matter, to your own liking. It is not meant to offend or suggest absurdity by way of forcing the reader to inquire,Just whose eyes are we viewing this material through? Clearly it requires the reader to look further in depth at the writing, and if you please, you may take phrases in and out of context merely because propaganda is being put into play. Shall we say, Whats in a word? ;May be a good way to approach this material, since it may have the tendency to lead the reader forward or try to leave the reader behind, as though the concepts are being chased into consideration or view, forcing itself to be acknowledged, yet briskly passes through to yet another semblance of meaning. In preparation for this reading material we should keep the story teller point of view in mind and that it wishes to convey poem/story, yet rhyme is always going to pull the works back to a central under lying theme, that its only poetry. A poem to read and enjoy. You may sense that during the writing of this work, much turbulence were occurring in the poets own life time. Publishing this work is truly an accomplishment in that sense, because it truly does represent a new age, almost like a slap in the face, as an unforeseen wake-up call! But, at any given rate faites a complet.
Book Synopsis Epistemology of the Past by : Theara Thun
Download or read book Epistemology of the Past written by Theara Thun and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2024-08-31 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The encounter of indigenous history-making tradition with Western historical practice has been long neglected in Southeast Asian scholarship. Theara Thun offers one of the first critical and systematic studies of the interface between these two distinctive modes of historical presentation and their impacts on society. By examining historical discourses on Cambodia through the precolonial, colonial, and post-independence years, he presents a compelling account of indigenous scholars, with varying perspectives, who advocated competing versions of history. Thun argues that new discourses about national history emerged by drawing on, reconfiguring, combining, or, in many cases, rejecting older discourses of precolonial historical scholarship. Epistemology of the Past examines how certain types and forms of historical knowledge are created, understood, and used within a given context and how that knowledge has evolved over time. The book brings together and critically explores a large collection of original manuscripts and printed texts—notably, Khmer chronicle manuscripts and colonial-era works of French scholar-officials. Thun’s analysis discloses multilayers of intellectual traditions and diverse views of Cambodian and, more broadly, Southeast Asian scholars engaging with European colonial scholarship. In addition to contributing to the multidisciplinary field of Cambodian and Southeast Asian studies, Epistemology of the Past will be essential reading for those interested in intellectual history, transculturation, historiography, intertextual studies, narrative studies, literature, colonialism, and nationalism.
Book Synopsis The Wreckage of Intentions by : David Alff
Download or read book The Wreckage of Intentions written by David Alff and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in Britain saw the proposal of so many endeavors called "projects"—a catchphrase for the daring, sometimes dangerous practice of shaping the future—that Daniel Defoe dubbed his era a "Projecting Age." These ideas spanned a wide variety of scientific, technological, and intellectual interventions intended for the betterment of England. But for all the fanfare surrounding them, few such schemes actually materialized, leaving scores of defunct visions, from Defoe's own attempt to farm cats for perfume, to Mary Astell's proposal to charter a college for women, to countless ventures for improving land, streamlining government, and inventing new consumer goods. Taken together, these failed plans form a compelling alternative history of a Britain that might have been. The Wreckage of Intentions offers a comprehensive and critical account of projects, exploring the historical memory surrounding these concrete yet incomplete efforts to advance British society during a period defined by revolutions in finance and agriculture, the rise of experimental science, and the establishment of constitutional monarchy. Using methods of literary analysis, David Alff shows how projects began as written proposals, circulated as print objects, spurred physical undertakings, and provoked responses in the realms of poetry, fiction, and drama. Mapping this process discloses the ways in which eighteenth-century authors applied their faculties of imagination to achieve finite goals and, in so doing, devised new ways of seeing the world through its future potential. Approaching old projects through the language, landscapes, data, and personas they left behind, Alff contends this vision was, and remains, vital to the functions of statecraft, commerce, science, religion, and literature.

Book excerpt: Is The Book of Mormon a Great American Novel? Avi Steinberg thinks so. In this quirky travelogue—part fan nonfiction, part personal quest—he follows the trail laid out in Joseph Smith’s book. From Jerusalem to the ruined Mayan cities of Central America to upstate New York and, finally, to Jackson County, Missouri—the spot Smith identified as the site of the Garden of Eden—Steinberg traces The Book’s unexpected path and grapples with Joseph Smith’s demons—and his own. Literate and funny, personal and provocative, the genre-bending The Lost Book of Mormon boldly explores our deeply human impulse to write books, and affirms the abiding power of story.
Book Synopsis I Didn't Get Where I Am Today by : David Nobbs
Download or read book I Didn't Get Where I Am Today written by David Nobbs and published by Random House. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a small boy David Nobbs survived the Second World War unscathed, until his bedroom ceiling fell on him when the last bomb to be dropped on Britain by the Germans landed near his home. It was the nearest he came to the war, but National Service would later make him one of Britain's most reluctant soldiers. It was an unforgettable and often unpleasant experience. As a struggling writer, David was catapulted into the thrilling world of satire at the BBC when he rang THAT WAS THE WEEK THAT WAS with a joke and got through to David Frost, who sent a taxi for the joke. He never looked back. His greatness as a modern comic writer was confirmed by the publication of THE FALL AND RISE OF REGINALD PERRIN, which he adapted into the immensely successful television series that has entered the fabric of British cultural life, through phrases, images and brilliant humour. A mesmerising, beautifully told tale of life in writing and comedy, I DIDN'T GET WHERE I AM TODAY is the hilarious, poignant and very personal story of David Nobbs' life, which also describes some of the most famous comedians of the last century and captures a golden age of British television.
