Book Synopsis Insila, the Eyes and Ears of the King by : John Dube
Download or read book Insila, the Eyes and Ears of the King written by John Dube and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insila, the Eyes and Ears of the King is a fresh, modern translation of the Zulu novel, "Insila kaShaka," which was first published in 1931, the first novel by a Zulu writer. Dube's narrative is an extraordinary, gripping and haunting window into Zulu life as it was lived before the land was lost to the Europeans. It tells of a young man, Jeqe, who is summoned by Emperor Shaka to his Royal Residence at Dukuza to be his Insila. There is no accurate translation of the word, insila. The only way to find out what it entails is to read Dube's book. An earlier translator, J. Boxwell, translated it as 'bodyservant'. This captures only one aspect of the Insila's role. The word insila means body dirt and conveys the fact that the Insila becomes very close to and inseparable from the king. When Shaka is murdered by his half-brothers, Jeqe must be buried along with Shaka's wives and his earthly possessions. Jeqe's Buthelezi ancestors come to him in a dream. They tell him he still has much to accomplish - and he flees. This is the start of an enthralling adventure involving traversing dangerous bushveld teeming with wild animals of all kinds, crossing mighty rivers and negotiating lands populated by foreign peoples. The story includes some wonderful and thrilling encounters - the courting of Zakhi, the love of his life; the island school of Nkosazana, the female mistress of traditional medicine and divining in the swamps of the Usuthu River between what is now South Africa and Mozambique; and an apocalyptic landscape of abandoned villages and dying people on a plateau in the Ubombo Mountains. Dube is anxious to record the culture and social conditions of the time as well as to tell the story. It is thus a Zulu novel in a real sense, quite different to the form that developed in the West. This translation of Insila kaShaka by Thembani Ndiya Nene and Robert Mshengu Kavanagh, comes with a substantial introduction and a glossary.
Book Synopsis African Literatures as World Literature by : Alexander Fyfe
Download or read book African Literatures as World Literature written by Alexander Fyfe and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enormous success of writers such as Teju Cole and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie demonstrates that African literatures are now an international phenomenon. But the apparent global legibility of a small number of (mostly Anglophone) writers in the diaspora raises the question of how literary producers from the continent, both past and present, have situated their work in relation to the world and the kinds of material networks to which this corresponds. This collection shows how literatures from across the African continent engage with conceptualizations of 'the world' in relation to local social and political issues. Focusing on a wide variety of geographic, historical and linguistic contexts, the essays in this volume seek answers to the following questions: What are the topographies of 'the world' in different literary texts and traditions? What are that world's limits, boundaries and possibilities? How do literary modes and forms such as realism, narrative poetry or the political essay affect the presentation of worldliness? What are the material networks of circulation that allow African literatures to become world literature? African literatures, it emerges, do important theoretical work that speaks to the very core of world literary studies today.

Download or read book The Elephant in the Room written by Holly Goldberg Sloan and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of Counting by 7s comes a heartfelt story about "the importance of compassion and bravery when facing life’s challenges” (Kirkus) for fans of The One and Only Ivan and Front Desk. It's been almost a year since Sila's mother traveled halfway around the world to Turkey, hoping to secure the immigration paperwork that would allow her to return to her family in the United States. The long separation is almost impossible for Sila to withstand. But things change when Sila accompanies her father (who is a mechanic) outside their Oregon town to fix a truck. There, behind an enormous stone wall, she meets a grandfatherly man who only months before won the state lottery. Their new alliance leads to the rescue of a circus elephant named Veda, and then to a friendship with an unusual boy named Mateo, proving that comfort and hope come in the most unlikely of places. A moving story of family separation and the importance of the connection between animals and humans, this novel has the enormous heart and uplifting humor that readers have come to expect from the beloved author of Counting by 7s. “I couldn’t stop reading—I had to find out what would happen. An unusual and lovely real-life fairy tale.” —Linda Sue Park, New York Times Bestselling author of A Long Walk to Water “A gorgeous and emotional novel. I loved every page.” —Cynthia Kadohata, Newbery Medal-winning author of Kira-Kira

Book Synopsis The Phonology of Icelandic and Faroese by : Kristján Árnason
Download or read book The Phonology of Icelandic and Faroese written by Kristján Árnason and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-08-25 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive, contrastive account of the phonological structures and characteristics of Icelandic and Faroese. It is written for Nordic linguists and theoretical phonologists interested in what the languages reveal about phonological structure and phonological change and the relation between morphology, phonology, and phonetics. The book is divided into five parts. In the first Professor Árnason provides the theoretical and historical context of his investigation. Icelandic and Faroese originate from the West-Scandinavian or Norse spoken in Norway, Iceland and part of the Scottish Isles at the end of the Viking Age. The modern spoken languages are barely intelligible to each other and, despite many common phonological characteristics, exhibit differences that raise questions about their historical and structural relation and about phonological change more generally. Separate parts are devoted to synchronic analysis of the sounds of the languages, their phonological oppositions, syllabic structure and phonotactics, lexical morphophonemics, rhythmic structure, intonation and postlexical variation. The book draws on the author's and others' published work and presents the results of original research in Faroese and Icelandic phonology.

Book Synopsis Molecular Revolution by : Felix Guattari
Download or read book Molecular Revolution written by Felix Guattari and published by Bloomsbury Academic. This book was released on 2025-03-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molecular Revolution comprises a series of articles from radical French philosopher and psychoanalyst, Felix Guattari, originally published in two separate French editions, of 1977 and 1980 - each bearing the name Molecular Revolution. Despite this titular similarity, these texts differed wildly in form and content so as to become hardly recognizable. This translated single volume makes available in English for the first time an ensemble of pieces featuring an introduction by the editor, Stéphane Nadaud, and an afterword by Janell Watson. By re-arranging and re-deploying these articles, Molecular Revolution stays true to the content of Guattari's work as both a unique version and the embodiment of the essential plurality of molecular revolutions. For Guattari, rather than a theory, molecular revolutions form a practical way of doing politics, and this volume will be essential to the full comprehension of the political force of Guattari's life and work.
