Book Synopsis Ada, or Ardor: A Family Chronicle by : Vladimir Nabokov
Download or read book Ada, or Ardor: A Family Chronicle written by Vladimir Nabokov and published by ببلومانيا للنشر والتوزيع. This book was released on 2024-02-17 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published two weeks after his seventieth birthday, Ada, or Ardor is one of Nabokov's greatest masterpieces, the glorious culmination of his career as a novelist. It tells a love story troubled by incest. But more: it is also at once a fairy tale, epic, philosophical treatise on the nature of time, parody of the history of the novel, and erotic catalogue. Ada, or Ardor is no less than the superb work of an imagination at white heat. This is the first American edition to include the extensive and ingeniously sardonic appendix by the author, written under the anagrammatic pseudonym Vivian Darkbloom.
Download or read book Timbuktu written by Paul Auster and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Mr. Bones, the canine hero of Paul Auster's remarkable new novel, Timbuktu. Mr. Bones is the sidekick and confidant of Willy G. Christmas, the brilliant, troubled, and altogether original poet-saint from Brooklyn. Like Don Quixote and Sancho Panza before them, they sally forth on a last great adventure, heading for Baltimore, Maryland in search of Willy's high school teacher, Bea Swanson. Years have passed since Willy last saw his beloved mentor, who knew him in his previous incarnation as William Gurevitch, the son of Polish war refugees. But is Mrs. Swanson still alive? And if she isn't, what will prevent Willy from vanishing into that other world known as Timbuktu? Mr. Bones is our witness. Although he walks on four legs and cannot speak, he can think, and out of his thoughts Auster has spun one of the richest, most compelling tales in recent American fiction. By turns comic, poignant, and tragic, Timbuktu is above all a love story. Written with a scintillating verbal energy, it takes us into the heart of a singularly pure and passionate character, an unforgettable dog who has much to teach us about our own humanity.

Download or read book The Girl Who Played Go written by Shan Sa and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Japanese military invades 1930s Manchuria, a young girl approaches her own sexual coming of age. Drawn into a complex triangle with two boys, she distracts herself from the onslaught of adulthood by playing the game of go with strangers in a public square--and yet the force of desire, like the occupation, proves inevitable. Unbeknownst to the girl who plays go, her most worthy and frequent opponent is a Japanese soldier in disguise. Captivated by her beauty as much as by her bold, unpredictable approach to the strategy game, the soldier finds his loyalties challenged. Is there room on the path to war for that most revolutionary of acts: falling in love?
Book Synopsis River of Fire and Other Stories by : Chŏnghŭi O
Download or read book River of Fire and Other Stories written by Chŏnghŭi O and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-03 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O Chonghui crafts historically-rooted yet timeless tales imagining core human experiences from a female point of view. Since her debut in 1968, she has formed a powerful challenge to the patriarchal literary establishment in Korea, and her work has invited rich comparisons with the achievements of Joyce Carol Oates, Alice Munro, and Virginia Woolf. These nine stories range from O Chonghui's first published work, in 1968, to one of her last publications, in 1994. Her early stories are compact, often chilling accounts of family dysfunction, reflecting the decline of traditional, agrarian economics and the rise of urban, industrial living. Later stories are more expansive, weaving eloquent, occasionally wistful reflections on lost love and tradition together with provocative explorations of sexuality and gender. O Chonghui makes use of flashbacks, interior monologues, and stream-of-consciousness in her narratives, developing themes of abandonment and loneliness in a carefully cultivated, dispassionate tone. O Chonghui's narrators stand in for the average individual, struggling to cope with emotional rootlessness and a yearning for permanence in family and society. Arguably the first female Korean fiction writer to follow Woolf's dictum to do away with the egoless, self-sacrificing "angel in the house," O Chonghui is a crucial figure in the history of modern Korean literature, one of the most astute observers of Korean society and the place of tradition within it.

Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of the acclaimed Chaos and Genius comes a thoughtful and provocative exploration of the big ideas of the modern era: Information, communication, and information theory. Acclaimed science writer James Gleick presents an eye-opening vision of how our relationship to information has transformed the very nature of human consciousness. A fascinating intellectual journey through the history of communication and information, from the language of Africa’s talking drums to the invention of written alphabets; from the electronic transmission of code to the origins of information theory, into the new information age and the current deluge of news, tweets, images, and blogs. Along the way, Gleick profiles key innovators, including Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace, Samuel Morse, and Claude Shannon, and reveals how our understanding of information is transforming not only how we look at the world, but how we live.

Book Synopsis Cecilia Valdés or El Angel Hill by : Cirilo Villaverde
Download or read book Cecilia Valdés or El Angel Hill written by Cirilo Villaverde and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-09-29 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cecilia Valdés is arguably the most important novel of 19th century Cuba. Originally published in New York City in 1882, Cirilo Villaverde's novel has fascinated readers inside and outside Cuba since the late 19th century. In this new English translation, a vast landscape emerges of the moral, political, and sexual depravity caused by slavery and colonialism. Set in the Havana of the 1830s, the novel introduces us to Cecilia, a beautiful light-skinned mulatta, who is being pursued by the son of a Spanish slave trader, named Leonardo. Unbeknownst to the two, they are the children of the same father. Eventually Cecilia gives in to Leonardo's advances; she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a baby girl. When Leonardo, who gets bored with Cecilia after a while, agrees to marry a white upper class woman, Cecilia vows revenge. A mulatto friend and suitor of hers kills Leonardo, and Cecilia is thrown into prison as an accessory to the crime. For the contemporary reader Helen Lane's masterful translation of Cecilia Valdés opens a new window into the intricate problems of race relations in Cuba and the Caribbean. There are the elite social circles of European and New World Whites, the rich culture of the free people of color, the class to which Cecilia herself belonged, and then the slaves, divided among themselves between those who were born in Africa and those who were born in the New World, and those who worked on the sugar plantation and those who worked in the households of the rich people in Havana. Cecilia Valdés thus presents a vast portrait of sexual, social, and racial oppression, and the lived experience of Spanish colonialism in Cuba.

Book Synopsis Niebla de Sortilegios by : Rufino Pérez
Download or read book Niebla de Sortilegios written by Rufino Pérez and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-03-12 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Niebla de Sortilegios retrata la extraordinaria travesía por la vida de una mujer con dotes naturales únicos, matizados por una gracia inusual, la que proyecta a su alrededor con magia intrínseca. Robertina cautiva a cuantas personas interactúan con ella, utilizando todo un arsenal de atributos que incluyen el humor, la fortaleza de espíritu, la lealtad, la generosidad, la fe y un sentido orgánico y profundo del amor. Desde muy joven, selectivamente se mide al estandarte moral y al carácter audaz de su madre adoptiva, su tía Romelia, y hurga en el trasfondo pernicioso de la ignorancia y el derroche desenfrenado de su padre adoptivo, Manuel Santana, para crecer en razón y juicio. Cuando su ineludible conformación anatómica de mujer la lleva instintivamente a desear una compañía de vida, una fuerza natural maravillosa la lleva a casarse con su propio hermano de crianza, con quien se sumerge en una tórrida fusión marital, hasta el día de su muerte. Aunque nunca ha ido a la escuela, Robertina es poseedora de una sabiduría insólita, con la que logra tejer su propio juicio en torno a temas tan complicados como el significado de la vida, de la muerte y el más allá. Concibe con independencia de criterio las enseñanzas de la Biblia, al punto de ser capaz de establecer sus propias interpretaciones sobre la figura histórica y apoteósica de Jesucristo. Su sabiduría innata la lleva a conjeturar muy locuazmente sobre derivaciones filosóficas muy inteligentes. Al caer súbitamente enferma con un cáncer devastador y violento, en Niebla de Sortilegios se narra como la vida de un ser humano surtida de gracia y buenaventura puede terminar en las trincheras del azar y la casualidad. Años después de su muerte su sarcófago termina siendo profanado y su cráneo robado, por estudiantes extranjeros de medicina. Aquel inesperado desenlace póstumo, deja a sus propios parientes inmersos en la fragua de una enmarañada trilogía conceptual: duda sobre la justeza de un ser divino, escepticismo sobre la existencia o no de una fuerza sobrenatural y resignación ante el poder descomunal del sentido arbitrario ubicuo de la vida.
Download or read book Look at Him written by Anna Starobinet︠s︡ and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journalist, scriptwriter, and novelist Anna Starobinets-often called "Russia's Stephen King"-is best known for her work in horror and her writing for children. In this groundbreaking memoir, Starobinets chronicles the devastating loss of her unborn son to a fatal birth defect. After her son's death, Starobinets suffers from nightmares and panic attacks; the memoir describes her struggle to find sympathy, community, and psychological support for herself and her family. A finalist for Russia's 2018 National Bestseller Prize, Look at Him ignited a firestorm in Russia, prompting both high praise and severe condemnation for the author's willingness to discuss long-taboo issues of women's agency over their own bodies, the aftereffects of abortion and miscarriage on marriage and family life, and the callousness and ignorance displayed by many in Russia in situations like hers. Beautiful, darkly humorous, and deeply moving, "Look at Him" explores moral, ethical-and quintessentially human-issues that resonate for families in theworld beyond Russia, as well.
