Download or read book Island in the Atlantic written by Waldo David Frank and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1970 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A historical novel, set in what was still the relatively recent past at the time of its writing. It begins with the Draft Riots of 1863 and ends in 1912 with the sinking of the Titanic (here aptly renamed the Cosmopolis). The "island" of the title is Manhattan. The protagonist is a lawyer named Jonathan Hartt, a secular Jew whose youthful reforming zeal ebbs as he settles into middle age, leaving him in a profound moral crisis. An inter-generational constellation of characters extends out around him, each struggling with his or her own existential dilemmas, conflicts of conscience, and burdens of responsibility and guilt. Their lives are convincingly set against the backdrop of historical events and political forces of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, especially the reform and labor movements, shown pushing back unsuccessfully against the expansion of U.S. industrialism. Fundamental issues about the value and meaning of individual human lives are raised here, explicitly in their conversations and implicitly in their actions, especially through the contrast between those who pursue wealth and power at all costs, and those who strive after some "higher" ambition -- chief among them Jonathan in his devotion to the law, and his closest friend, Evan Cleeve, whose passion for music conflicts with his influential father’s expectations for his legal and political career. Perhaps Jonathan’s and Evan’s failures will be overcome by Jonathan’s son Jeff (short for Jefferson), whose dedication to architecture, a pursuit that is both civic-minded and artistic, synthesizes the divergent alternatives of the previous generation. This is an open question at the novel’s end.

Download or read book Transatlantic Intellectual Networks, 1914-1964 written by Hans Bak and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-13 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twelve essays in this book – by scholars from the U.S., France, Germany, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic – offer new transnational perspectives in transatlantic historical, literary, and cultural studies. They explore the special role of American and European intellectuals as agents of transatlantic cultural transfer, and examine the mechanisms and instruments through which artists, writers and intellectuals communicated across oceans and national borders, in the half century between 1914 and 1964. Their focus is on transatlantic networks and the instruments of culture through which such networks become operative as sites of cross-cultural exchange, circulation and interaction: magazines, cafés, publishing houses, book fairs, agents, translators, and mediators – and last but not least, transatlantic personal friendships. Contending that the dynamics of transatlantic cultural transfer need to be understood as reciprocal and multi-directional, they also exemplify the shift within transatlantic intellectual history from a traditional concern with European-U.S. relations to a multidirectional, triangular exploration of cultural, political and intellectual relations between Europe, the United States, and Latin America.
