Download or read book First Person Rural written by Noel Perrin and published by David R. Godine Publisher. This book was released on 1994-09 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These essays, all concerned with countryish things, range from intensely practical to mildly literary. Transplanted from New York fifteen years ago and now a real-life Vermont farmer, Noel Perrin candidly admits to hilarious early mistakes ("In Search of the Perfect Fence Post") while presenting down-to-earth advice on such rural necessities as "Sugaring on $15 a Year," "Raising Sheep," and "Making Butter in the Kitchen." But, as everyone who has read his essays in The New Yorker, Country Journal, and Vermont Life will confirm, not everything Perrin writes is strictly about the exigencies of country life. While one essay seems to discuss the use of wooden sap buckets, it really addresses the nature of illusion and reality as they coexist in rural places.

Book excerpt: Single mother Janeen Flare has had a rough road so far with her beautiful children, Donovan and Tina. The choice to leave her worthless boyfriend Sean was obvious. Sean's rage came to a head and he tried to slash Janeen's throat. Coming to his senses he decided not to kill Janeen. In desperation, Janeen escaped with only an eighth of a tank of gas and her two babies. Her children are now seven and four years old and they seem to have their lives back on track. She is going to graduate from school soon and is working as a topless dancer to support her two children. Just as her life is looking up, she is challenged to make her dream come alive with Pete. He is the man she has fallen in love with, but his reluctance to love her children, and the shame her family holds over her head, put her into a tailspin. She fosters a friendly relationship with Jake, who is always there for her in times of need. Jake whole-heartedly tries to show her some goodness but Janeen denies him. Every moment she grows more and more blind to the few good things remaining in her life. His effort to get closer to Janeen ends up wasted. As she becomes ever more oblivious, she chooses to be with Pete. The path she follows grows darker and more violent, and may never lead her back to the light.

Download or read book Primo Levi written by Lucie Benchouiha and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2006 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As one of the best-known survivors of the concentration camps, Primo Levi's testimony to his experiences in Auschwitz is internationally recognised as one of the most significant works of the last century. This volume examines each of Levi's works in detail, assessing and analysing the influence of Levi's time in Auschwitz on his writing. It identifies a variety of thematic, temporal, stylistic and linguistic echoes of Levi's concentration camp testimony, and traces these echoes throughout his subsequent, apparently unrelated, work. The book provides original and fascinating insights into the works of this remarkable writer, giving readers a new understanding and perspective on the immense significance and the pervasive influence of the holocaust on Levi's creative output.
