Book Synopsis Roll Call of Mirrors by : Ivan V. Lalic
Download or read book Roll Call of Mirrors written by Ivan V. Lalic and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 1988-06 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A postwar Serbian poet captures the spirit of the classical in his newly translated book of poems. Ivan V. Lalic is one of the most important Serbian poets of the postwar generation. In Roll Call of Mirrors the translator Charles Simic, a native Yugoslavian, captures these poems in Lalic's own idiom, He retains their spare beauty, from the lyrical intensity of the early poems – by a poet "destined to burn" – to his later love of sonnets, to his most recent =, more meditative work on "what geometry dreams," and on the art of the poet (standing "before the mirror, fearless/ Of the returning image"). Although Lalic is part of a generation of Yugoslavian poets considered modernist, the spirit of his poetry is classical, calling up Roman triumphal arches, Orpheus descending into Hades, Lazarus rising from the tomb, and Byzantine warriors with their breastplates of bronze. Byzantium is, for Lalic, both the historical city, spiritual and also the mythical home from which we all have been exiled. According to Simic, in Lalic's poetry "the historical and the mythical are in dialogue." Like the icon or the fresco, his poems begin with metaphors that, through meditation, reflect and give meaning to identity.

Book Synopsis Middle-Earth in Magic Mirror Maps... Of the Wilderland in Wales... Of the Shire in England by : Stephen Ponty
Download or read book Middle-Earth in Magic Mirror Maps... Of the Wilderland in Wales... Of the Shire in England written by Stephen Ponty and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a fresh look at the Maps of the Wilderland in The Hobbit, leading to the discovery that Professor Tolkien drew the imaginary maps from the Map of Wales back to front, or in reverse. The maps of the Shire in The Lord of The Rings are drawn likewise, of England. ‘“They are on their way to visit the land of their fathers, away east beyond Mirkwood,” put in Gandalf...’ Gandalf’s talk of the ‘land of their fathers’ is, by translation of its national anthem, Professor J.R.R. Tolkien’s hidden clue to the geography of Wales, which we learn the Professor loved, including its language. The focal point of The Hobbit, the Lonely Mountain, is identified as Cadair Idris of North-West Wales. Many of the topographical features of the Mountain coincide. The volcano-mouth Lake of the Lonely Mountain so resembles Llyn Cau of Cadair Idris. The marvel is that the lake has been overlooked so long: not only by Smaug the Dragon, but also by most commentators on The Hobbit. Which reader remembers there is a lake at all? Stephen interprets many of the allusions borrowed by Tolkien in his fantastic tale, including Beorn at the Carrock, the herons of Wales at Lake Town, and dragon fire at the Withered Heath. The work is divided into nine parts, with three site groupings. His unique focus on Tolkien’s map-making methodology will make his book relevant not only to Tolkien fans worldwide, but those interested in geography too.

Book Synopsis Rear View Mirror by : Prof. Balwant Sidhu Galib
Download or read book Rear View Mirror written by Prof. Balwant Sidhu Galib and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rear View Mirror (RVM) is an anthology of three generations starting in 1878 till the present. It is over 85 percent based on the true and the actual events that happened to the author. The rearview mirror of a car is hundred times smaller than the front windshield. The humans always look through RVM to glance in the past, trying to live in the times long gone, and tend to ignore the front windshield to see what is lying ahead of them. But the people who forget the past, they are condemned to repeat it. Those who do not look through the front windshield, they do not survive for long. RVM has many captivating and enchanting memories hidden behind it. It is always beneficial and valuable to observe things back into the past through the prism of life but always keep looking into the future, through the front windshield. It is good to remember the past, but don’t live in it. RVM is a compendium of three generations. It starts with the Gen 3, which looks back at Gen 2 and Gen 1. Gen 1 is the story of two brothers who were conscripted by the British in India. They fought in WW1 and WW2 and then retired. Each had a son who develops into Gen 2. They struggle and enjoy their lives. Each had lost a son at prime age in Canada, one in a car accident and the other was murdered along with his wife and the unborn son when a kettle bomb exploded, sent by his own father-in-law on Christmas Eve. The Gen 3 starts with life in India, born, raised, grown, and educated there. Then in the seventies, it moves to Canada, one of the best countries of the world. The fable twists and turns, meandering like the vicissitudes of a flowing river. The tale takes the main character of Gen 3 across Canada and the America, going through various circumstances and meeting very interesting fellows. The main character had dichotomy in his mind while leaving his birth land, like millions of immigrants who leave their saddened families and go to a new land of hope. He faces hurdles and tribulations for establishing his life in the new settings. His life ends tragically while enjoying and lying in the arms of his soul mate. There are torrid physical relations between Oksana and Mall, Bhinder and Sher, Erika and Steve. The Sikh youth murders in Vancouver are touched on, in a very brief detail.

Book Synopsis Black Faces in the Mirror by : Katherine Tate
Download or read book Black Faces in the Mirror written by Katherine Tate and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here, Katherine Tate examines the significance of race in the U.S. system of representative democracy for African Americans. Presenting important new findings, she offers the first empirical study to take up the question of representation from both sides of the constituent-representative relationship. The first half of the book examines whether black members of the U.S. House legislate and represent their constituents differently than white members do. Representation is broadly conceptualized to include not only legislators' roll call voting behavior and bill sponsorship, but also the symbolic acts in which they engage. The second half looks at the issue of representation from the perspective of ordinary African Americans based on a landmark national survey. Tate's findings are mixed. But, in the main, legislators' race does shape how they represent their constituents and how constituents evaluate them. African Americans view black representatives more positively than they do white representatives, even those who belong to their own political party. Black legislators, however, are just as likely as white representatives to sponsor and gain passage of bills in the House. Tate also concludes that black House members are more liberal as a group than are their black constituents, but that there is considerable divergence in the quality and type of representation they provide. The findings reported here will generate controversy in the fields of politics, law, and race, particularly as debate commences over renewing the Voting Rights Act, which is set to expire in 2007.

Download or read book God's Mirror written by Katherine Davies and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gathering in one place a cohesive selection of articles that deepen our sense of the vitality and controversy within the Catholic renewal of the mid-twentieth century, God’s Mirror offers historical analysis of French Catholic intellectuals. This volume highlights the work of writers, thinkers and creative artists who have not always drawn the attention given to such luminaries as Maritain, Mounier, and Marcel. Organized around the typologies of renewal and engagement, editors Katherine Davies and Toby Garfitt provide a revisionist and interdisciplinary reading of the narrative of twentieth-century French Catholicism. Renewal and engagement are both manifestations of how the Catholic intellectual reflects and takes position on the relationship between the Church, personal faith and the world, and on the increasingly problematic relationship between intellectuals and the Magisterium. A majority of the writings are based on extensive research into published texts, with some occasional archival references, and they give critical insights into the tensions that characterized the theological and political concerns of their subjects.
Book Synopsis Key States, High Stakes by : Charles S. Bullock
Download or read book Key States, High Stakes written by Charles S. Bullock and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2011-08-16 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2010 elections were one of the most highly anticipated midterm elections in our nation's recent history. After the historic 2008 election, in which America elected its first black president, Sarah Palin's involvement and the emergence of the Tea Party in the 2010 congressional elections had the potential to transform the composition of congress and set the stage for the nation's politics for the next decade, or even the next generation. In this new edited volume, Charles S. Bullock III collects original contributions from top political scientists to evaluate Sarah Palin and the Tea Party's role in the 2010 midterm elections. Key States, High Stakes focuses on states where Republicans had the chance to pick up Senate seats, as well as examining GOP Senate primaries if they involved a Palin or a Tea Party nominee facing an establishment favorite. Bullock concludes the anthology with a chapter on the legacy of the Tea Party and of Sarah Palin on American politics. One thing is certain. In terms of control of the House and Senate (and its effect on President Obama's policy agenda), the prospects for the 2012 presidential race, and the long-term viability of the Tea Party movement, the stakes in the 2010 midterm elections could not have been higher.
