Book Synopsis The Chronicles of Tarzan by : Edgar Rice Burroughs
Download or read book The Chronicles of Tarzan written by Edgar Rice Burroughs and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-05-20 with total page 824 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TARZAN THE UNTAMED With the speed of the great apes, Tarzan rushed through the jungle toward his home and family. But he was already too late. The marauders had been there before him. His farm was in shambles and no one was left alive. Silently, he swore his terrible vengeance against those who had done this monstrous deed. Then he set out grimly to track them . . . through warring armies . . . across a vast desert that no man had ever crossed . . . and to a strange valley where only madmen lived. TARZAN THE TERRIBLE Lieutenant Obergatz had fled in terror from the seeking vengeance of Tarzan of the Apes. And with him, by force, he had taken Tarzan's beloved mate, Jane. Now the ape-man was following the faint spoor of their flight, into a region no man had ever penetrated. The trail led across seemingly impassable marshes into Pal-ul-don--a savage land where primitive Waz-don and Ho-don fought fiercely, wielding knives with their long, prehensile tails--and where mighty triceratops still survived from the dim dawn of time

Book Synopsis From the Japanese by : Paul Rossiter
Download or read book From the Japanese written by Paul Rossiter and published by . This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not a book of English translations of Japanesepoems (although it does include versions of haiku by Basho and by the contemporary haiku masterNatsuishiBan'ya), but rather a series of 'translations' of the experience ofa long-term British residentof Tokyo; it also acknowledges the personal and cultural gifts received 'from the Japanese' over the last forty or more years. The poems by Paul Rossiter collected here range in time from a version of a prose poem by Basho (done in London in 1969 before he had any idea he would visit Japan) to an elegy for the city of Ishinomaki, severely damaged in the tsunami of 2011. The book moves through the years between these two pieces by way of reports from Tokyo in the era of the Vietnam War, sharply visualised descriptions of dance and theatre performances, evocative poems of place, street-life vignettes, an appalled visit to Hiroshima, meditations on the pleasures and ambivalences of cross-cultural experience, and translations of two of Paul Rossiter's poems into Japanese by the well-known Japanese-language poets Arthur Binard and KisakaRyo, and of five of his haiku by Natsuishi Ban'ya.

Book Synopsis The Saburo Hasegawa Reader by : Mark Dean Johnson
Download or read book The Saburo Hasegawa Reader written by Mark Dean Johnson and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At publication date, a free ebook version of this title will be available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. The Hasegawa Reader is an open access companion to the bilingual catalogue copublished with The Noguchi Museum to accompany an international touring exhibition, Changing and Unchanging Things: Noguchi and Hasegawa in Postwar Japan. The exhibition features the work of two artists who were friends and contemporaries: Isamu Noguchi and Saburo Hasegawa. This volume is intended to give scholars and general readers access to a wealth of archival material and writings by and about Saburo Hasegawa. While Noguchi’s reputation as a preeminent American sculptor of the twentieth century only grows stronger, Saburo Hasegawa is less well known, despite being considered the most literate artist in Japan during his lifetime (1906–1957). Hasegawa is credited with introducing abstraction in Japan in the mid 1930s, and he worked as an artist in diverse media including oil and ink painting, photography, and printmaking. He was also a theorist and widely published essayist, curator, teacher, and multilingual conversationalist. This valuable trove of Hasegawa material includes the entire manuscript for a 1957 Hasegawa memorial volume, with its beautiful essays by philosopher Alan Watts, Oakland Museum Director Paul Mills, and Japan Times art writer Elise Grilli, as well as various unpublished writings by Hasegawa. The ebook edition will also include a dozen essays by Hasegawa from the postwar period, and one prewar essay, professionally translated for this publication to give a sense of Hasegawa’s voice. This resource will be an invaluable tool for scholars and students interested in midcentury East Asian and American art and tracing the emergence of contemporary issues of hybridity, transnationalism, and notions of a “global Asia."

Book Synopsis Neck of the Woods by : Professor of English Peter Makin
Download or read book Neck of the Woods written by Professor of English Peter Makin and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-22 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Peter Makin's precision in describing natural settings and phenomena, from the coast of Lincolnshire to Kyoto, either with the breadth of distance or as if through a magnifying glass, is remarkable in itself; but in the selection, ordering and juxtaposition of subject matter Makin manages to combine the eye of the scientist, the compositional acumen of the Zen-inspired ink painters of the Sengoku era and the sensibility of a traditional Japanese poet of tanka and haiku. The singular force behind this collection of poems is loss and grief, the expressions of which drift in and out of the poems, as if emerging then receding behind the clouds, usually in the form of glimpsed memory. Neck of the Woods is an extended elegy, a most unique and beautiful one. The care Makin brings to his description of the natural feels, in its intensity, as if the memory of and abiding love for the person lost had somehow been transferred to the physical world around him, thus serving almost as a tribute or memorial. This is very moving poetry." (August Kleinzahler)

Book Synopsis The Day Laid Bare by : KIWAO. NOMURA
Download or read book The Day Laid Bare written by KIWAO. NOMURA and published by . This book was released on 2020-10 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kiwao Nomura is the leading experimental voice in contemporary Japanese poetry, who has published twenty-six volumes of verse since 1987. This translation of The Day Laid Bare, originally published in Japanese in 2011 in the wake of the disasters of that year in Japan, is the first time one of his individual volumes has been translated into English. In The Day Laid Bare, Kiwao Nomura takes us on a tour through hell on earth, much like Dante's Inferno. The parades of flesh winding their way through Nomura's poem are living creatures both human and non-human, or often subhuman, but who nevertheless ultimately embody the human condition. The title, The Day Laid Bare, speaks to human life stripped down to its most basic reality - vulnerable and powerless. The entire work is overshadowed by the colossal earthquake and tsunami which destroyed much of the northeastern region of Japan in March of 2011. Thus, although expressed in the language of the absurd and the Felliniesque, Kiwao Nomura's The Day Laid Bare has an existential urgency.
