Download or read book The Last Cherry Blossom written by Kathleen Burkinshaw and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the seventieth anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, this is a new, very personal story to join Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. Yuriko was happy growing up in Hiroshima when it was just her and Papa. But her aunt Kimiko and her cousin Genji are living with them now, and the family is only getting bigger with talk of a double marriage! And while things are changing at home, the world beyond their doors is even more unpredictable. World War II is coming to an end, and since the Japanese newspapers don’t report lost battles, the Japanese people are not entirely certain of where Japan stands. Yuriko is used to the sirens and the air-raid drills, but things start to feel more real when the neighbors who have left to fight stop coming home. When the bombs hit Hiroshima, it’s through Yuriko’s twelve-year-old eyes that we witness the devastation and horror. This is a story that offers young readers insight into how children lived during the war, while also introducing them to Japanese culture. Based loosely on author Kathleen Burkinshaw’s mother’s firsthand experience surviving the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, The Last Cherry Blossom hopes to warn readers of the immense damage nuclear war can bring, while reminding them that the “enemy” in any war is often not so different from ourselves.

Download or read book As We Are Now written by May Sarton and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author “May Sarton has never been better than she is in this beautiful, harrowing novel about being old, unwanted, yet refusing to give up” (The Boston Globe). After seventy-six-year-old Caro Spencer suffers a heart attack, her family sends her to a private retirement home to wait out the rest of her days. Her memory growing fuzzy, Caro decides to keep a journal to document the daily goings-on—her feelings of confinement and boredom; her distrust of the home’s owner, Harriet Hatfield, and her daughter, Rose; her pity for the more incapacitated residents; her resentment of her brother, John, for leaving her alone. The journal entries describe not only her frustrations, but also small moments of beauty—found in a welcome visit from her minister, or in watching a bird in the garden. But as she writes, Caro grows increasingly sensitive to the casual atrocities of retirement-home life. Even as she acknowledges her mind is beginning to fail, she is determined to fight back against the injustices foisted upon the home’s occupants. This ebook features an extended biography of May Sarton.

Download or read book Les années written by Virginia Woolf and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Une nouvelle traduction française de "Les années" de la célèbre romancière anglaise Virginia Woolf, avec une introduction du traducteur. Adeline Virginia Woolf était une romancière et critique victorienne, largement considérée comme l'une des plus importantes romancières féministes de tous les temps. Ses techniques de flux de conscience et son style poétique comptent parmi les contributions les plus importantes à la fiction moderne. En raison de l'importance de Woolf en tant qu'innovatrice de la forme du roman moderne et commentatrice de la quasi-totalité de la littérature anglaise et européenne, sa vie a fait l'objet de nombreuses recherches. Woolf a écrit neuf romans majeurs ainsi que des essais sur la théorie de l'art, l'histoire littéraire, l'écriture des femmes et la politique du pouvoir. Les tentatives de Woolf pour capturer les moments fugaces de la vie à travers les modèles, les structures et les images de son écriture, probablement les plus influentes utilisées dans les monologues internes pour communiquer des couches de pensées, de sentiments et de perceptions. Aujourd'hui, pour la toute première fois, tous ses romans sont disponibles en français moderne. Le roman Les Années de Woolf est une œuvre emblématique de la littérature moderniste, un genre devenu populaire dans les premières décennies du 20e siècle. Écrit en 1937, le roman suit la vie de plusieurs générations d'une famille britannique, les Pargiters, de l'époque victorienne aux années 1930. À travers leurs expériences, Woolf explore les thèmes de la mortalité, du changement social et du passage du temps. Le roman est écrit dans un style très expérimental, avec plusieurs narrateurs et une structure non linéaire. L'écriture de Woolf reflète les angoisses de l'entre-deux-guerres, car elle est aux prises avec les problèmes de la guerre et la nature changeante de la société britannique. Dans The Years, Woolf offre une perspective unique sur les problèmes de son époque, ce qui en fait une œuvre littéraire importante pour les lecteurs d'aujourd'hui.
