Book Synopsis Follow the Angels, Follow the Doves by : Sidney Thompson
Download or read book Follow the Angels, Follow the Doves written by Sidney Thompson and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-03 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow the Angels, Follow the Doves is an origin story in the true American tradition. Before Bass Reeves could stake his claim as the most successful nineteenth-century American lawman, arresting more outlaws than any other deputy during his thirty-two-year career as a deputy U.S. marshal in some of the most dangerous regions of the Wild West, he was a slave. After a childhood picking cotton, he became an expert marksman under his master’s tutelage, winning shooting contests throughout the region. His skill had serious implications, however, as the Civil War broke out. Reeves was given to his master’s mercurial, sadistic, Moby-Dick-quoting son in the hopes that Reeves would keep him safe in battle. The ensuing humiliation, love, heroics, war, mind games, and fear solidified Reeves’s determination to gain his freedom and drew him one step further on his fated path to an illustrious career. Follow the Angels, Follow the Doves is an important historical work that places Reeves in the pantheon of American heroes and a thrilling historical novel that narrates a great man’s exploits amid the near-mythic world of the nineteenth-century frontier.

When the Germans arrive, Roland goes into hiding; Edgar abandons his unhappy wife, Juudit, and takes on a new identity as a loyal supporter of the Nazi regime . . . 1963: Estonia is again under Communist control, independence even further out of reach behind the Iron Curtain. Edgar is now a Soviet apparatchik, desperate to hide the secrets of his past life and stay close to those in power. But his fate remains entangled with Roland’s, and with Juudit, who may hold the key to uncovering the truth . . . Great acts of deception and heroism collide in this masterful story of surveillance, passion, and betrayal, as Sofi Oksanen brings to life the frailty—and the resilience—of humanity under the shadow of tyranny.

Book Synopsis The Hawk and the Dove by : Nicholas Thompson
Download or read book The Hawk and the Dove written by Nicholas Thompson and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2009-09-15 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant and revealing biography of the two most important Americans during the Cold War era—written by the grandson of one of them Only two Americans held positions of great influence throughout the Cold War; ironically, they were the chief advocates for the opposing strategies for winning—and surviving—that harrowing conflict. Both men came to power during World War II, reached their professional peaks during the Cold War's most frightening moments, and fought epic political battles that spanned decades. Yet despite their very different views, Paul Nitze and George Kennan dined together, attended the weddings of each other's children, and remained good friends all their lives. In this masterly double biography, Nicholas Thompson brings Nitze and Kennan to vivid life. Nitze—the hawk—was a consummate insider who believed that the best way to avoid a nuclear clash was to prepare to win one. More than any other American, he was responsible for the arms race. Kennan—the dove—was a diplomat turned academic whose famous "X article" persuasively argued that we should contain the Soviet Union while waiting for it to collapse from within. For forty years, he exercised more influence on foreign affairs than any other private citizen. As he weaves a fascinating narrative that follows these two rivals and friends from the beginning of the Cold War to its end, Thompson accomplishes something remarkable: he tells the story of our nation during the most dangerous half century in history.

Book Synopsis Wings of the Doves by : Elena Lombardi
Download or read book Wings of the Doves written by Elena Lombardi and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2012-05-03 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Wings of the Doves, Elena Lombardi undertakes a detailed reading of Dante's Inferno V - the canto of Francesca da Rimini and her doomed love for her brother-in-law, Paolo Malatesta, a richly layered episode within the Divine Comedy, which continues to challenge readers today, blurring the distinction between poetry and doctrine, pity and condemnation, and literature and reality. Lombardi plays on the complex nature of the canto in order to shed light on a larger and much-debated theme in medieval culture - the relation between spiritual and erotic forms of love and desire. Eschatology and law, pilgrimage and beauty, the role of affective practices in the religious and social spheres, intertextuality and the medieval culture of reading are just some of the themes that come together to unravel this tale of adultery and its bordering with the soul's search for God. The Wings of the Doves examines the flexibility of the medieval notion of desire to unearth the hidden meanings of this complex story of lust and love and the radical nature of medieval love poetry.

Download or read book The Doves of Winter written by Donas John and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-06 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sissy raised the bright blade, over the infant. Then turned, and with both hands, plunged it into the leader. In the candlelight a deep red stain blossomed from the center of the scarlet robe. It grew quickly. He tried to hold it in, with stiff, gold-ringed hands, but the crimson flower burst. Something deep within Sissy began to scream-as her white robe became drenched with a pulsing fountain of warm sticky blood. It splashed over her face, through her hair, ran in rivers down her pale robe. The scarlet robe bent over, scattered red into the earth like a wilting dream, until his head slid to the mud and his eyes stared frozen into darkness. His exposed face became a white skull-she could see bones rise beneath the skin.
Book Synopsis The Tree of the Doves by : Christopher Merrill
Download or read book The Tree of the Doves written by Christopher Merrill and published by Milkweed Editions. This book was released on 2011-10-11 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A unique travelogue” that “explores the nature of terror, its place in the post-9/11 world and how it unites and galvanizes those in the throes of it” (Kirkus Reviews). Using several ageless questions—“Where do we come from? Where are we going? What shall we do?”—as his point of departure, journalist and award-winning poet Christopher Merrill explores the related issues of terror, modernity, tradition, and epochal transformation. In three extended essays, Merrill observes the performance of a banned ritual in the Malaysian province of Kelatan; traces Saint-John Perse’s epic voyage from Beijing to Ulan Bator in 1921 and relates it to the China of today; and embarks on a trip across the Levant in 2007 in the wake of the American wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Merrill asserts that it is in this trinity of human actions—ceremony, expedition, war: all devised to keep terror at bay—that history is formed, and that the technological, political, environmental, and social changes we are witnessing now presage the end of one order and the creation of another. “Merrill is a ‘writer’s writer’: he spins sentences made of gold.” —Publishers Weekly

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A world torn apart by gender, a dangerous peace mission, a starship in peril... Can anybody's sexuality be certain under pressure? If your emotions could be felt by another, if the desires you kept hidden were revealed and reflected back on you, would you—could you—deny and control those needs? And if sexuality and gender aren't what they seem, does it change who you are? The mission of the starship Sulaco, its captain Saker Hawkings and first mate L'Wren James, is to deliver the mysterious alien empaths Anchises and Cytheria to the planet Ourania, a world at war with itself. Where sex is power and gender decides everything, the Dove peace negotiators must interact strictly male to male and female to female with the warring factions to broker a lasting peace. But can they keep hidden the secret loss that drives them and still control their own empathic responses to the desires and needs of others—the desires that they themselves feed? And while Hawk and L'Wren struggle to save their ship and face up to the challenges of duty, passion and their own sexuality, with one Dove dangerously injured and the other missing in action, only the truth about Anchises the man and Cytheria the woman can save one of them—but which is which?
