Book Synopsis Hood River Anthology by : Russell Hatler
Download or read book Hood River Anthology written by Russell Hatler and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hood River Anthology is a hybrid novel, consisting of historical chapters and short stories. The first several chapters tell the story of a fictitious German family of tenuous nobility who escape from East Germany during the Soviet occupation, dodging Stasi agents and border guards, and eventually settle in Hood River, OR, where they build a Bed and Breakfast modeled after King Ludwig's Schloss Linderhof castle. The succeeding chapters are short stories about the lives of lodgers who stay at the Neue Schloss Linderhof. In many respects the compendium mirrors the tradition of "Winesburg, Ohio" by Sherwood Anderson or "Spoon River Anthology" by Edgar Lee Masters.

Book excerpt: The award-winning author’s “gorgeously-crafted second collection of stories” explores moments of profound loss, discovery, and transition (Charlotte Observer). The stories in this volume explore the myriad ways people lose, find, and hold on to one another. When all else fails her characters—science, religion, family, self—the powerful act of storytelling keeps their broken lives together. Each story in this rewarding and multifaceted collection introduces people who yearn for better lives and find themselves entangled in the hopes and dreams that heal and bind us all. The title story—chosen by John Updike for The Best American Short Stories of the Century anthology—follows two generations of a family driven by the “patient and brutal need that people called hope.” In “The Jap Room,” winner of the 2008 Goodheart Prize, a woman tries to help her WWII veteran husband finally come home. “Rowing to Darien” introduces a famous English actress as she rows away from her husband’s rice plantation. In “Hush” a gravely ill man encounters himself in the darkness of Kentucky’s Mammoth Cave. These and other stories deftly broach universal themes of love, loss, and the redemptive power of storytelling. Foreword by the Flannery O’Connor Prize–winning author Mary Hood
Book Synopsis Across Spoon River by : Edgar Lee Masters
Download or read book Across Spoon River written by Edgar Lee Masters and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The memoirs of one of Illinois’ great poets, author of Spoon River Anthology, with many vignettes of the Chicago Renaissance. This intimate and provocative autobiography, first published in 1936, reveals the innermost thoughts of a great American poet. Edgar Lee Masters was a transitional figure in American literature with one foot planted in the nineteenth century and the other firmly placed on the path of what we now think of as the modern period. Richly illustrated throughout with black and white photographs. “Across Spoon River: An Autobiography is blunt and cranky about a life [Masters] saw as largely “scrappy and unmanageable.” Emphasizing life on his grandfather’s farm, his school days, his political battles, the workday world, and the growth of a poet’s mind through wide reading, the book is a valuable record of Masters’s work habits and offers considerable insight on his position as a critic and his place in American literature.”—Ronald Primeau, American National Biography

The lesson? Ho! Ever so simple: I learned that it is in the fantastic world of a child's dream that we find our soul, the true and pristine meaning of the word love.Such is the beauty and simplicity to be found in Anthology of a Childhood Dream.

They find nothing and no one at the door - until Whitefell, a beautiful, enigmatic huntress appears. Sorin, the eldest son, is particularly enchanted. He invites her into their home and welcomes her to their hearth. But when Cristian, his younger brother arrives, he fears the worst, having seen large wolf tracks leading to their porch. Christian is appalled that Whitefell is being taken into the trust of his family and the household servants. Indoctrinated in the supernatural lore of Romania by his late grandfather, an Eastern Orthodox priest, Cristian faces a monumental challenge to convince his parents and, above all, his brother, that Whitefell is a werewolf. When she begins her beastly carnage, Cristian finds himself caught in a terrifying battle between good and evil. Whitefell proves to be formidable and unpredictable in her quest to quench her detestable hunger - but soon she discovers Cristian is an equally cunning adversary, one who will risk everything to destroy her.

Download or read book Trauma written by Selma Leydesdorff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traumatic experiences and their consequences are often the core of life stories told by survivors of violence. In Trauma: Life Stories of Survivors leading academics explore the relationship between the experiences of terror and helplessness that have caused trauma, the ways in which survivors remember, and the representation of these memories in the language and form of their life stories.International case studies include the migration of Ethiopian Jews to Israel, the life stories of Guatemalan war widows, violence in South Africa, persecution of political prisoners in South Africa and the former Czechoslovakia, lynching in the Mississippi Delta, resistance in Zimbabwe's liberation war, sexual abuse, and the ongoing Irish troubles. The volume reveals the complexity of remembering and forgetting traumatic experiences, and shows that survivors are likely to express themselves in stories containing elements that are imaginary, fragmented, and loaded with symbolism. Trauma: Life Stories of Survivors is a groundbreaking work of relevance across the social sciences. This new perspective on trauma will be of particular importance to researchers in psychology, history, women's studies, anthropology, sociology and cultural studies.
