Download or read book The Inheritance of Loss written by Kiran Desai and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Man Booker Prize: An “extraordinary” novel “lit by a moral intelligence at once fierce and tender” (The New York Times Book Review). In a crumbling, isolated house at the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas, an embittered old judge wants only to retire in peace. But his life is upended when his sixteen-year-old orphaned granddaughter, Sai, arrives on his doorstep. The judge’s chatty cook watches over the girl, but his thoughts are mostly with his son, Biju, hopscotching from one miserable New York restaurant job to another, trying to stay a step ahead of the INS. When a Nepalese insurgency threatens Sai’s new-sprung romance with her tutor, the household descends into chaos. The cook witnesses India’s hierarchy being overturned and discarded. The judge revisits his past and his role in Sai and Biju’s intertwining lives. In a grasping world of colliding interests and conflicting desires, every moment holds out the possibility for hope or betrayal. Published to extraordinary acclaim, The Inheritance of Loss heralds Kiran Desai as one of our most insightful novelists. She illuminates the pain of exile and the ambiguities of postcolonialism with a tapestry of colorful characters and “uncannily beautiful” prose (O: The Oprah Magazine). “A book about tradition and modernity, the past and the future—and about the surprising ways both amusing and sorrowful, in which they all connect.” —The Independent

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The weight of history hangs heavy on some families. Poverty, like a stubborn vine, can wrap itself around generations, constricting opportunities and dimming dreams. It's a relentless force, shaping lives before they even begin, whispering limitations in the ears of children, and casting a shadow over their futures. This book isn't about resignation. It's about rebellion. It's about tearing down the walls that poverty builds and claiming the inheritance that should be every child's birthright: the inheritance of opportunity. Generational poverty, the persistent cycle of economic hardship passed down through families, is a complex and deeply rooted problem. It's not a matter of personal failing; it's a systemic web of obstacles that can feel insurmountable. Limited access to quality education, low-wage jobs with little chance for advancement, the burden of debt - these are just some of the threads that bind families in poverty. The consequences are far-reaching, impacting health, education, and overall well-being, not just for the present generation but for generations to come. But amidst the hardship, there are glimmers of hope. Individuals with unwavering determination have broken free from the cycle. Innovative programs are making a difference. Communities are coming together to create pathways to a brighter future. This book is a testament to that hope. It delves into the root causes of generational poverty, but more importantly, it explores the solutions.

Book Synopsis The Inheritance of Wealth by : Daniel Halliday
Download or read book The Inheritance of Wealth written by Daniel Halliday and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daniel Halliday examines the moral grounding of the right to bequeath or transfer wealth. He engages with contemporary concerns about wealth inequality, class hierarchy, and taxation, while also drawing on the history of the egalitarian, utilitarian, and liberal traditions in political philosophy. He presents an egalitarian case for restricting inherited wealth, arguing that unrestricted inheritance is unjust to the extent that it enables and enhances the intergenerational replication of inequality. Here, inequality is understood in a group-based sense: the unjust effects of inheritance are principally in its tendency to concentrate certain opportunities into certain groups. This results in what Halliday describes as 'economic segregation'. He defends a specific proposal about how to tax inherited wealth: roughly, inheritance should be taxed more heavily when it comes from old money. He rebuts some sceptical arguments against inheritance taxes, and makes suggestions about how tax schemes should be designed.

Download or read book The Inheritance written by Chris CJ Jones and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2005-03-28 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Billionaire Milton Hughes – the puzzle, board game, crossword, and brainteaser mogul – is dead in an untimely and horrific accident. Wanting his love of fun and games to continue beyond his death, Milton prepared for such a fate, and his will is not a basic assignment of his assets to different beneficiaries. Instead, six rightful heirs separately receive single clues, allowing the entire group to easily locate and divide the fortune, provided they merely work together to solve the riddle and find his substantial riches. Unfortunately, due to feelings of being cheated, a tainted past, bad sentiments between different family members, old-fashioned greed, and one unknown among the six recipients, the game becomes neither simple nor straightforward. The pursuit has many twists and turns, as the various players plot, connive, scheme, and conspire with and against each other. Alliances are formed and disbanded as quickly as one gains an advantage and chooses to backstab another. Cooperation, suspicion, honesty, and mistrust seem virtually interchangeable. And ultimately, the game turns deadly.

Book Synopsis The Inheritance by : George E. Smith
Download or read book The Inheritance written by George E. Smith and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the century, England is enjoying unparalleled success as a world power. One blemish however is its involvement in the Boer War in South Africa. The unexpected death of a British army officer begins a chain of events that involves a young woman aristocrat in England and the ranch manager of a huge cattle ranch in Arizona, U.S.A. Lady Caroline is a beautiful, well educated woman about to become sole heir to a prosperous ranch and adjoining copper mine. But, Sir Geoffrey Morely’s will also gives Ken Battle, the ranch manager a significant portion of the property. Significant in that it contains the water source for the Morely ranch, and surrounding community. Lady Caroline has mulled over her father’s generosity to Mr. Battle as she prepares to visit America, but cannot come up with an answer to why he decided on this action. When the will is read in the lawyers office in Rock Springs, Ken Battle is equally surprised to learn of his good fortune. The gift of land, water and cattle is beyond his most optimistic expectations. Would he continue to work for Lady Caroline at the Triple R or would she bring in her own team from England? How is Sam Welton of the nearby Circle W ranch going to react to Ken being in control of water supply? He’s already an antagonistic neighbor.
Book Synopsis Work, Inheritance, and Deserts in Joseph Conrad’s Fiction by : Evelyn Tsz Yan Chan
Download or read book Work, Inheritance, and Deserts in Joseph Conrad’s Fiction written by Evelyn Tsz Yan Chan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-19 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the complex relationships between inheritance, work, and desert in literature. It shows how, from its manifestation in the trope of material inheritance and legacy in Victorian fiction, “inheritance” gradually took on additional, more modern meanings in Joseph Conrad’s fiction on work and self-making. In effect, the emphasis on inheritance as referring to social rank and wealth acquired through birth shifted to a focus on talent, ability, and merit, often expressed through work. The book explores how Conrad’s fiction engaged with these changing modes of inheritance and work, and the resulting claims of desert they led to. Uniquely, it argues that Conrad’s fiction critiques claims of desert arising from both work and inheritance, while also vividly portraying the emotional costs and existential angst that these beliefs in desert entailed. The argument speaks to and illuminates today’s debates on moral desert arising from work and inheritance, in particular from meritocratic ideals. Its new approach to Conrad’s works will appeal to students and scholars of Conrad and literary modernism, as well as a wider audience interested in philosophical and social debates on desert deriving from inheritance and work.
