Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1923 -and Ireland is at war! Government-Free State-forces and Republican volunteers who control Ireland's south, battle to control the country's destiny. In Liam O'Flaherty's novel, "The Martyr" (1933), banned in Ireland, Free State forces land on the Kerry coast and target Tralee, O'Flaherty's "Sallytown". Events around the Free State troop landing and its sequel are seen through the eyes of Sallytown's defenders and its townspeople, clerical and lay. In the author's fictional reconstruction of this real Civil War encounter, professional Free State troops face Sallytown's ill-trained, badly-led and poorly equipped volunteer defenders. The total ineffectuality of Sallytown's Republican leader relates to his obsession with Catholic nationalist ideology. A dialogue between him and a Free State army torturer paves the way for the novel's startling ending.

Book Synopsis Searching for John Ford by : Joseph McBride
Download or read book Searching for John Ford written by Joseph McBride and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2011-02-11 with total page 983 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Ford's classic films—such as Stagecoach, The Grapes of Wrath, How Green Was My Valley, The Quiet Man, and The Searchers—have earned him worldwide admiration as America's foremost filmmaker, a director whose rich visual imagination conjures up indelible, deeply moving images of our collective past. Joseph McBride's Searching for John Ford, described as definitive by both the New York Times and the Irish Times, surpasses all other biographies of the filmmaker in its depth, originality, and insight. Encompassing and illuminating Ford's myriad complexities and contradictions, McBride traces the trajectory of Ford's life from his beginnings as “Bull” Feeney, the nearsighted, football-playing son of Irish immigrants in Portland, Maine, to his recognition, after a long, controversial, and much-honored career, as America's national mythmaker. Blending lively and penetrating analyses of Ford's films with an impeccably documented narrative of the historical and psychological contexts in which those films were created, McBride has at long last given John Ford the biography his stature demands.

Download or read book The Story of a Brief Marriage written by Anuk Arudpragasam and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The tale of two strangers suddenly thrust into a strange new relationship . . . an immersive portrait of life touched by war and despair.” —BuzzFeed (“Incredible New Books You Need to Read This Fall”) Shortlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize Two and a half decades into a devastating civil war, Sri Lanka’s Tamil minority is pushed inexorably towards the coast by the advancing army. Amongst the evacuees is Dinesh, whose world has contracted to a makeshift camp where time is measured by the shells that fall around him like clockwork. Alienated from family, home, language, and body, he exists in a state of mute acceptance, numb to the violence around him, till he is approached one morning by an old man who makes an unexpected proposal: that Dinesh marry his daughter, Ganga. Marriage, in this world, is an attempt at safety, like the beached fishing boat under which Dinesh huddles during the bombings. As a couple, they would be less likely to be conscripted to fight for the rebels, and less likely to be abused in the case of an army victory. Thrust into this situation of strange intimacy and dependence, Dinesh and Ganga try to come to terms with everything that has happened, hesitantly attempting to awaken to themselves and to one another before the war closes over them once more. Anuk Arudpragasam’s The Story of a Brief Marriage is a feat of extraordinary sensitivity and imagination, a meditation on the fundamental elements of human existence. Set over the course of a single day and night, this unflinching debut confronts marriage and war, life and death, bestowing on its subjects the highest dignity, however briefly.
