Book Synopsis The Heavenly Table by : Donald Ray Pollock
Download or read book The Heavenly Table written by Donald Ray Pollock and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2016-07-12 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Donald Ray Pollock, author of the highly acclaimed The Devil All the Time and Knockemstiff, comes a dark, gritty, electrifying (and, disturbingly, weirdly funny) new novel that will solidify his place among the best contemporary American authors. It is 1917, in that sliver of border land that divides Georgia from Alabama. Dispossessed farmer Pearl Jewett ekes out a hardscrabble existence with his three young sons: Cane (the eldest; handsome; intelligent); Cob (short; heavy set; a bit slow); and Chimney (the youngest; thin; ill-tempered). Several hundred miles away in southern Ohio, a farmer by the name of Ellsworth Fiddler lives with his son, Eddie, and his wife, Eula. After Ellsworth is swindled out of his family's entire fortune, his life is put on a surprising, unforgettable, and violent trajectory that will directly lead him to cross paths with the Jewetts. No good can come of it. Or can it? In the gothic tradition of Flannery O'Connor and Cormac McCarthy with a healthy dose of cinematic violence reminiscent of Sam Peckinpah, Quentin Tarantino and the Coen Brothers, the Jewetts and the Fiddlers will find their lives colliding in increasingly dark and horrific ways, placing Donald Ray Pollock firmly in the company of the genre's literary masters.

Download or read book Don't Die Early written by Evan Scott Levine and published by . This book was released on 2012-06-04 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's a mess out there. Obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and inflammatory diseases are all on the rise. And even though it seems everyone has answers, incessant sounds bites in the daily news and magazine articles offer little more than superficial, generic advice. Combined with clever marketing intended primarily to sell products, this chaotic and fragmented advice results in a confusing, and typically incorrect, guide to being healthier.How does a person know what's right and what's wrong? How do we separate fact from carefully crafted half-truths? What can we, as individuals, do to be healthier and how can we avoid the most common diseases that plague us today?Don't Die Early is a remarkable framework to guide any of us towards a more aggressive approach to our own healthcare. No matter our age or condition, Don't Die Early is a plan of wellness and longevity, written for the average everyday person who no longer wants to be at the mercy of their provider but wants to take control and become the healthiest that they can."In Don't Die Early, Rocky Angelucci explains the actual science of diet and health in clear, simple language anyone can understand. If you're confused by all the conflicting health advice in the media, read this book. By the time you finish it, you'll probably know more about nutrition and health than your doctor." -Tom Naughton, creator of documentary "Fat Head"

This book was released on 2006-09-18 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich Amerikanistik - Literatur, Note: 1,0, Universität Augsburg, Veranstaltung: Proseminar: Die Erzählkunst des Amerikanischen Südens, 9 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Flannery O’Connor zählt zu den wohl bekanntesten Südstaatenautoren des vergangenen Jahrhunderts. In fast allen ihrer Geschichten greift sie typische Klischees des amerikanischen Südens auf und verarbeitet diese in sozialkritischer Weise. Flannery O’Connor beruft sich auf ihre Stellung als christliche Autorin, indem sie die Vermittlung von Botschaften durch religiöse Andeutungen zum Ziel ihrer Kurzgeschichten macht. Die Groteske ihres Erzählstils erweist sich bei näherer Betrachtung nur als oberflächliche Hülle, der eine tiefer gehende Bedeutung zugrunde liegt. Auch der absichtlich flache und einfache Stil, der sich zum großen Teil als ironisch erweist, bringt dem Leser die Botschaft noch leichter nahe. Den Geschichten O’Connors fehlt die versöhnende Auflösung am Ende, stattdessen schließen sie mit erschreckenden Bildern wie Horror, Tod oder anderen Schockerlebnissen. Doch genau dadurch soll O’Connor zufolge die Erlösung ihrer Charaktere herbeigeführt werden, die im Moment ihres Todes ein Gefühl der Würde erleben dürfen, ohne das ihr weiteres Leben ohnehin nicht lebenswert und völlig sinnlos gewesen wäre. Trotz der zahlreichen Horrorvisionen enthüllt O’Connor unweigerlich eine Komik, die dem Leser das Lachen jedoch zum Teil im Hals stecken bleiben lässt. O’Connor erzählt von einer aus den Fugen geratenen Welt, in welcher der leere Glaube an die konventionelle Ordnung eine große Rolle spielt. Doch gerade die Notwendigkeit der Zerstörung dieser Ordnung und der Hinwendung zu einem „level of mystery“, einem tiefgehenden, alles andere als oberflächlichen System, das von göttlicher Macht herrührt, ist die zentrale Botschaft ihrer Short Stories. Der Glaube der Charaktere wird mit Hilfe von Schockerlebnissen durch Außenseiter und ihre Einstellung auf die Probe gestellt und führt schließlich zu einer tieferen Erkenntnis. Besonders inA good man is hard to find und The life you save may be your own offenbart sich die Ungerechtigkeit der Welt, die Grausamkeit der Menschheit und die Borniertheit und Intoleranz konservativer Südstaatler. O’Connor kritisiert zudem die gleichgültige Einstellung der Menschen, die nur auf ihren eigenen Nutzen ausgerichtet sind und ihre meist materialistischen Absichten ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste durchzusetzen versuchen. Diese Arbeit setzt sich zum Ziel, eine Interpretation der oben genannten Kurzgeschichten Flannery O’Connors bei gleichzeitigem Vergleich der beiden Werke zu liefern. [...]
