Download or read book How the Two Ivans Quarelled and Other Russian Comic Stories written by Nikolai Gogol and published by Alma Books. This book was released on 2019-07-07 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first story in this volume, How the Two Ivans Quarrelled, is an amusing portrayal of two exceptionally close friends, the mortal insult that drives them apart, and the ensuing chaos that occurs. This is Gogol's humour at its best, where the most irrelevant-seeming details and turns of phrase suddenly take on a bizarre life of their own. The second story, Ivan Krylov's Panegyric in Memory of My Grandfather, has an ingenuous narrator praise the nobility and modesty of a landowner whose actions prove him to be otherwise. The final two stories, by the Russian satirist Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin, are satirical attacks on the inability of civil servants to cope with real life, and on Russia's autocracy. Together, they represent some of Russia's finest comic writing before the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestselling and Newbery Award-winning novel The One and Only Ivan is now a major motion picture streaming on Disney+ This unforgettable novel from renowned author Katherine Applegate celebrates the transformative power of unexpected friendship. Inspired by the true story of a captive gorilla known as Ivan, this illustrated book is told from the point of view of Ivan himself. Having spent twenty-seven years behind the glass walls of his enclosure in a shopping mall, Ivan has grown accustomed to humans watching him. He hardly ever thinks about his life in the jungle. Instead, Ivan occupies himself with television, his friends Stella and Bob, and painting. But when he meets Ruby, a baby elephant taken from the wild, he is forced to see their home, and his art, through new eyes. In the tradition of timeless stories like Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little, Katherine Applegate blends humor and poignancy to create an unforgettable story of friendship, art, and hope. The One and Only Ivan features first-person narrative; author's use of literary devices (personification, imagery); and story elements (plot, character development, perspective). This acclaimed middle grade novel is an excellent choice for tween readers in grades 5 to 8, for independent reading, homeschooling, and sharing in the classroom. Plus don't miss The One and Only Bob, Katherine Applegate's return to the world of Ivan, Bob, and Ruby!

Download or read book The Death of Ivan Ilyich written by Leo Tolstoy and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A successful man must face the terror of his own mortality in this masterful nineteenth-century Russian novella by the author of War and Peace. In his later years, Leo Tolstoy began to contemplate the inescapable realities of mortality—its terrifying mystery, its many indignities, and the way it forces one to look back on the legacy and regrets of one’s life. The Death of Ivan Ilyich, widely considered the masterpiece of Tolstoy’s late career, is both a deeply insightful meditation on the final months of a man’s life, and an unsparing critique of conventional middle-class life in nineteenth-century Russia. Ivan Ilyich, a prosperous high-court judge, spends his days pursuing social advancement among his peers and avoiding his loveless marriage. But when a seemingly innocuous injury signals the beginning of a terminal illness, Ilyich begins to see the true worth of his life with tragic clarity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tedium Troopers The True Walkalones is the first book of Sunny Francis. It is a ceaseless crusade fought against the boring sameness of anything that has gripped this generation by digging its sharp teeth and knife-edge claws into its poor heart. This generation is still laid back and does happily accept the established social evils of the day, namely, corruption: vernacularism, nepotism and narcotism with sophisticated boorishness and immune detachment. These modern sages are destined to live in a tedious incompetence in the middle of a degenerating metro-breeding. We are happily conditioned and readily tuned to live the castrated life of the virility-deprived. Tedium Troopers is a clear mirror held out into the society which reflects a clean cloned image of ones life. This even-simulation enables the readers view a microscopic cross section of the global life standards of the day. Thus, the author, Sunny Francis, does not only troop this tedium but also prepares his readers to walk alone in order to crusade the monopoly that yawns at them wherever/whoever they maybe. The author effectively uses Jose Ivans, his protagonist, who is bravely arrayed in truthfulness and purity to lead his unconditional war against corporate maladies and social evils like exploitation, dirty politics, attrition, non-compliance and super-ego. Rooted proudly in a much hailed legacy that is royal and realistic, Jose Ivans launches a series of attacks on the pig-headed corporate in pursuit of liberating the working class through a Labourers Magna Carta. He realizes that he should be ready for a sacrifice if he wants to make others sacrifice for him. Jessica Rose is another brave-heart who handholds Ivans in all his bravados fighting the ugly CMD and wily COO. Both Rose and Ivans carry their deep faith in The Gospel while confronting revolts and conflicts. The Gospel was never proclaimed ever before as spiritedly and heartily by the laity as done in Tedium Troopers. This is a must-read for all who find it hard to keep the flames of their faith lit as experienced among the fisher-folk in the Fishers Valley. Gabriel Garcia Marquez revisits every time when one opens Tedium Troopers. It will be a decent tribute to the Herculean effort of the author if all our schools and colleges proudly initiate Phantasmagoria Clubs for providing the young catalysts superlatives a platform to showcase their exploits. This book is going to stick around longer than all the contemporary fictions. This book is like a tropical shower after the long spell of a bothersome drought!

Download or read book Giving the Devil His Due written by Jessica Hooten Wilson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flannery O'Connor and Fyodor Dostoevsky shared a deep faith in Christ, which compelled them to tell stories that force readers to choose between eternal life and demonic possession. Their either-or extremism has not become more popular in the last fifty to a hundred years since these stories were first published, but it has become more relevant to a twenty-firstt-century culture in which the lukewarm middle ground seems the most comfortable place to dwell. Giving the Devil His Due walks through all of O'Connor's stories and looks closely at Dostoevsky's magnum opus The Brothers Karamazov to show that when the devil rules, all hell breaks loose. Instead of this kingdom of violence, O'Connor and Dostoevsky propose a kingdom of love, one that is only possible when the Lord again is king.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Russian and Slavic Myth and Legend written by Mike Dixon-Kennedy and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1998-12-08 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers the first comprehensive guide in English to the myth and legend of the Russian Empire and other Slavic countries and peoples. There are few stories more stirring than those of ancient Russia. Russian and other Slavic beliefs weave a rich tapestry in which real-world elements coexist with those from fantasy, such as dragons, monsters, and shape-changing wolves. Though Russia adopted Christianity as the state religion in A.D. 988, paganism remained popular through the end of the 19th century and survives in isolated pockets even today. In Russian myth and legend, Christian themes are interwoven with pagan ideas: dragons fight priests, saints encounter nymphs, and witches enter the kingdom of heaven. Encyclopedia of Russian and Slavic Myth and Legend includes extensive historical, geographical, and biographical background to deepen the reader's understanding of the myth and legend. Numerous illustrations are included in this fascinating volume, which will be of great interest to students, scholars, and everyone who wishes to explore the cultural heritage of ancient Russia.
