Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This opening novel of a projected tetralogy called The Masters of Destiny examines the recurrent American conundrum, the issue of race. At the core stands two families related first by ownership and then, because of the infidelity of a plantation master, by blood, - establishing on a familial level an anguished, disorderly, and insoluble relationship paralleling the great forces of the historical. Fully engaging a social, sexual, and even violent milieu, the story portrays the clash of opposing cultures in scenes ranging from the American South to New England and Europe. The Civil War is made vivid by the sheer terror, horror, and confusion of both civilian and soldier. The book culminates with the journey made by a plantation 'heroine' and her aged slave through the collapse of the white Southern world - and the corollary release of the black - to Washington in search of her imprisoned Confederate husband. Part social mosaic, psychological analysis, historical study, and of course romance and drama, Lost in The Elysian Fields reveals the characters' personality by their response to these epical events which either compel them into action or sweep them into oblivion.

Download or read book Last Car to Elysian Fields written by James Lee Burke and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2003-09-23 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sheriff Dave Robicheaux returns to New Orleans to investigate the beating of a controversial Catholic priest and murder of three teenage girls in this intense, atmospheric entry in the New York Times bestselling series. For Dave Robicheaux, there is no easy passage home. New Orleans, and the memories of his life in the Big Easy, will always haunt him. So to return there means visiting old ghosts, exposing old wounds, opening himself up to new, yet familiar, dangers. When Robicheaux, now a police officer based in the somewhat quieter Louisiana town of New Iberia, learns that an old friend, Father Jimmie Dolan, a Catholic priest always at the center of controversy, has been the victim of a particularly brutal assault, he knows he has to return to New Orleans to investigate, if only unofficially. What he doesn’t realize is that in doing so he is inviting into his life—and into the lives of those around him—an ancestral evil that could destroy them all. A masterful exploration of the troubled side of human nature and the darkest corners of the heart, and filled with the kinds of unforgettable characters that are the hallmarks of his novels, Last Car to Elysian Fields is Burke in top form in the kind of lush, atmospheric thriller that is “an outstanding entry in an excellent series” (Publishers Weekly).

Download or read book Getting Off at Elysian Fields written by John Pope and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2015-10-19 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No city in America knows how to mark death with more funerary panache than New Orleans. The pageants commemorating departed citizens are often in themselves works of performance art. A grand obituary remains key to this Stygian passage. And no one writes them like New Orleanian John Pope. Collected here are not just simple, mindless recitations of schools and workplaces, marriages, and mourners bereft. These pieces in Getting Off at Elysian Fields are full-blooded life stories with accounts of great achievements, dubious dabblings, unavoidable foibles, relationships gone sour, and happenstances that turn out to be life-changing. To be sure, there are stories about Carnival monarchs, great philanthropists, and a few politicians. But because New Orleans embraces eccentric behavior, there are stories of people who colored way outside the lines. For instance, there was the doctor who used his plasma to make his flowers grow, and the philanthropist who took money she had put aside for a fur coat to underwrite the lawsuit that desegregated Tulane University. A letter carrier everyone loved turned out to have been a spy during World War II, and a fledgling lawyer changed his lifelong thoughts about race when he saw blind people going into a Christmas party through separate doors--one for white people and another for African Americans. Then there was the punctilious judge who got down on his hands and knees to edge his lawn--with scissors. Because New Orleans funerals are distinctive, the author includes accounts of four that he covered, complete with soulful singing and even some dancing. As a popular, local bumper sticker indisputably declares, "New Orleans--We Put the Fun in Funeral."

Download or read book The Fear of Losing Eurydice written by Julieta Campos and published by Dalkey Archive Press. This book was released on 1994-05 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lyrical novel by one of Mexico's leading women writers explores both desire and the desire to tell a love story. In an idle moment between grading assignments, a French teacher sitting in a cafe in a Caribbean seaport town sketches an island on his white napkin. Like Proust's "petite madeleine," the island opens up a host of images: ""Island" the sum of all improbabilities; intoxicating improbability of fiction. "Island" image of desire... All the islands formulated by human beings and all islands appearing on the maps comprise a single imaginary archipelago--the archipelago of desire." Monsieur N.'s original plan to use a Jules Verne novel about shipwrecked schoolboys as a translation exercise for his pupils becomes an obsession to collect every reference to islands he can find and to meditate on them in a diary of his imaginary travels--his "Islandiary." Parallel to this quest is an archetypal love story that he begins writing in his notebook, printed in a narrow column with islands of quotations surrounding it. Voyaging and the quest for islands becomes a metaphor for the search for paradise, for the island as an imagined place where love achieves perfection. It also becomes a metaphor for writing: "Every text is an island."

Book excerpt: To rise to the challenges of postmodern culture, Carlson argues, progressives will need to leave the safe harbors of what is familiar and comfortable. A new progressivism can only be forged of a fundamental re-thinking and re-mythologizing of democratic education. Drawing upon cultural studies perspectives, Carlson interrogates philosophy through p
