Book Synopsis Apocalypse and Millennium in English Romantic Poetry by : Morton D. Paley
Download or read book Apocalypse and Millennium in English Romantic Poetry written by Morton D. Paley and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 1999-10-07 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interrelationship of the ideas of apocalypse and millennium is a dominant concern of British Romanticism. The Book of Revelation provides a model of history in which apocalypse is followed by millennium, but in their various ways the major Romantic poets - Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Keats, and Shelley - question and even at times undermine the possibility of a successful secularization of this model. No matter how confidently the sequence of apocalypse and millennium seems to be affirmed in some of the major works of the period, the issue is always in doubt: the fear that millennium may not ensue emerges as a significant, if often repressed, theme in the great works of the period. Related to it is the tension in Romantic poetry between conflicting models of history itself: history as teleology, developing towards end time and millennium, and history as purposeless cycle. This subject-matter is traced through a selection of works by the major poets, partly through an exposition of their underlying intellectual traditions, and partly through a close examination of the poems themselves.

Book excerpt: Enchanted, the complete stories of Flordelisa Mota is a literary event. They are brought together for the first time in a single volume. Here are nine outstanding fictional stories written to please the readers of this new millennium.Poems of Nature has established her, with others, in the front category of the century's poets. Now her stories arouse out of a mosaic of different races, languages and beliefs. "Chasing a Fiend" open the door of enchantment and mystifying events in the life of General William Williams. A veteran of the Vietnam War he fell in love with Summer: she is an illusion. To be with her for ever, General Williams must defeat the evil fiend Winter. In Quebec City, the monster appeared. The ending is explosive in human feelings. "Bushwick's Street Tales" is the story of Santos, whose tranquility is disturbed by the appearance of Nora; the shabby building in Brooklyn is the scenery where love, delusion and a battered wife make the perfect balance for an intensified drama. Santos' schizophrenia makes the story human and intangible at once. "The Parrot Without Wings" is the story of an international thieves' organization planning a robbery from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. A Moroccan looks through the majestic façade of the building, trying to figure out how to get inside. Beatrice is the key, also the victim. "To be Free" is a hilarious love affair between two lighted candles. Flame and Fire fall in love. They live in the palace of Countess Frances. They plan to escape from the palace, but before they can they have to pass trough "Starry Light," a priceless Vincent van Gogh Masterpiece. The readers will be driven into fantasy by the tenderness of the characters. "Museum of Sand" is a story deeply connected with emigrants. For those who have left their homeland, this story will bring tears and joy. Angela Maria's vision of the Egyptian Lady is moving. The brutal assassination of Mexico's Police Commissioner impelled her to leave her country abruptly. It is a story about the few, to the delight of many. "Miss John" a beautiful girl's destiny is changed by her father when he chose a masculine name for her. This name molds her character and makes her vulnerable to blackmail. Miss John is an emotional story. Its beauty and ending is unsuspected. "The Secret" this story involves a mystery. With the background of 34th street and 6th Avenue, the plot reveals a homeless woman's dark life, and her insanity. Tanzía emerges as a princess from a foreign country. What a surprise for her when the dummy in a department store opens its eyes and lips become alive, speaking Tanzía's dialect. Amazing in beauty yet extravagant in details. "Santa" a story of tradition and superstition. Mr. Peralta, a patriarchal and powerful tyrant of his family. Santa, a delicate girl in love with a man who wants an impossible dream to have a son. The double face of truth becomes visible, and the strength of their characters makes it powerful. The story explores passionately the universal themes of love, betrayal, and survival. "They Were Amphibious" is based on a true story. The narrative is a trip to the past when airplanes landed on water. The readers, and specially the "baby boomers," will feel the nostalgia of Pan Am Clipper the Sikorsky S40 and how aviation started in the Caribbean with tragedy. The sacrifice of a man, who was determined to be part of an effort of bringing civilization to a remote island, will motivate the readers' emotions. An exciting story about survival in an inhospitable surrounding. Robert runs to save his niece's life. He gives it all.
Book Synopsis A Millennium of Turkish Literature by : Talat S. Halman
Download or read book A Millennium of Turkish Literature written by Talat S. Halman and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Orhon inscriptions to Orhan Pamuk, the story of Turkish literature from the eighth century A.D. to the present day is rich and complex, full of firm traditions and daring transformations. Spanning a wide geographic range from Outer Mongolia and the environs of China through the Middle East all the way to Europe, the history of Turkish literature embraces a multitude of traditions and influences. All have left their imprint on the distinctive amalgam that is uniquely Turkish. Always receptive to the nurturing values, aesthetic tastes, and literary penchants of diverse civilizations, Turkish culture succeeded in evolving a sui generis personality. It clung to its own established traits, yet it was flexible enough to welcome innovations—and even revolutionary change. A Millennium of Turkish Literature tells the story of how literature evolved and grew in stature on the Turkish mainland over the course of a thousand years. The book features numerous poems and extracts in fluid translations by Halman and others. This volume provides a concise and captivating introduction to Turkish literature and, with selections from its extensive “Suggested Reading” section, serves as an invaluable guide to Turkish literature for course adoption.

Book Synopsis The Columbia Guide to Contemporary African American Fiction by : Darryl Dickson-Carr
Download or read book The Columbia Guide to Contemporary African American Fiction written by Darryl Dickson-Carr and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2005-10-14 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Ishmael Reed and Toni Morrison to Colson Whitehead and Terry McMillan, Darryl Dickson-Carr offers a definitive guide to contemporary African American literature. This volume-the only reference work devoted exclusively to African American fiction of the last thirty-five years-presents a wealth of factual and interpretive information about the major authors, texts, movements, and ideas that have shaped contemporary African American fiction. In more than 160 concise entries, arranged alphabetically, Dickson-Carr discusses the careers, works, and critical receptions of Alice Walker, Gloria Naylor, Jamaica Kincaid, Charles Johnson, John Edgar Wideman, Leon Forrest, as well as other prominent and lesser-known authors. Each entry presents ways of reading the author's works, identifies key themes and influences, assesses the writer's overarching significance, and includes sources for further research. Dickson-Carr addresses the influence of a variety of literary movements, critical theories, and publishers of African American work. Topics discussed include the Black Arts Movement, African American postmodernism, feminism, and the influence of hip-hop, the blues, and jazz on African American novelists. In tracing these developments, Dickson-Carr examines the multitude of ways authors have portrayed the diverse experiences of African Americans. The Columbia Guide to Contemporary African American Fiction situates African American fiction in the social, political, and cultural contexts of post-Civil Rights era America: the drug epidemics of the 1980s and 1990s and the concomitant "war on drugs," the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement, the struggle for gay rights, feminism, the rise of HIV/AIDS, and racism's continuing effects on African American communities. Dickson-Carr also discusses the debates and controversies regarding the role of literature in African American life. The volume concludes with an extensive annotated bibliography of African American fiction and criticism.

Book Synopsis A Journey to the End of the Millennium by : A. B. Yehoshua
Download or read book A Journey to the End of the Millennium written by A. B. Yehoshua and published by HMH. This book was released on 2000-05-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A masterpiece” about faith, race, and morality at a medieval turning point, from the National Jewish Book Award winner and “Israeli Faulkner” (The New York Times). It’s edging toward the end of the year 999 when Ben Attar, a Moroccan Jewish merchant from Tangiers, takes two wives—an act of bigamy that results in the moral objections of his nephew and business partner, Raphael Abulafia, and the dissolution of their once profitable enterprise of importing treasures from the Atlas Mountains. Abulafia’s repudiation triggers a potentially perilous move by Attar to set things right—by setting sail for medieval Paris to challenge his nephew, and his nephew’s own pious wife, face to face. Accompanied by a Spanish rabbi, a Muslim trader, a timid young slave, a crew of Arab sailors, and his two veiled wives, Attar will soon find himself in an even more dangerous battle—with the Christian zealots who fear that Jews and others they see as immoral infidels will impede the coming of Jesus at the dawn of a new millennium. From the author of A Woman in Jerusalem, winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, this is an insightful portrait of a unique moment in history as well as the timeless issues that still trouble us today. “The end of the first millennium comes to represent only one of many breaches—between north and south, Christians and Jews, Jews and Muslims, Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jews, men and women—across which A. B. Yehoshua's extraordinary novel delivers us.” —The New York Times
Book Synopsis The Poetry of Yehuda Amichai by : Yehuda Amichai
Download or read book The Poetry of Yehuda Amichai written by Yehuda Amichai and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The largest English-language collection to date from Israel’s finest poet Few poets have demonstrated as persuasively as Yehuda Amichai why poetry matters. One of the major poets of the twentieth century, Amichai created remarkably accessible poems, vivid in their evocation of the Israeli landscape and historical predicament, yet universally resonant. His are some of the most moving love poems written in any language in the past two generations—some exuberant, some powerfully erotic, many suffused with sadness over separation that casts its shadow on love. In a country torn by armed conflict, these poems poignantly assert the preciousness of private experience, cherished under the repeated threats of violence and death. Amichai’s poetry has attracted a variety of gifted English translators on both sides of the Atlantic from the 1960s to the present. Assembled by the award-winning Hebrew scholar and translator Robert Alter, The Poetry of Yehuda Amichai is by far the largest selection of the master poet’s work to appear in English, gathering the best of the existing translations as well as offering English versions of many previously untranslated poems. With this collection, Amichai’s vital poetic voice is now available to English readers as it never has been before.
