This book was released on 2024-01-13 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gertrude Stein's 'The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas' is a groundbreaking work of literary innovation and experimentation. Written in a unique style that blurs the lines between reality and fiction, Stein recounts the life of her partner, Alice B. Toklas, in a whimsical and abstract manner. The book challenges traditional narrative structures and invites readers to question the nature of autobiographical writing. Set against the backdrop of early 20th century Paris, the book captures the vibrant artistic and intellectual atmosphere of the time. Stein's use of repetition and stream-of-consciousness adds layers of depth to the storytelling, making it a truly intriguing read for those interested in modernist literature. Gertrude Stein, a prominent figure in the modernist literary movement, drew inspiration from her own personal life and relationships to create this unconventional autobiography. As a close confidante of many influential artists and writers, Stein's unique perspective shines through in her writing. Her bold experimentation with language and form challenges readers to think outside the box and reconsider conventional storytelling methods. I highly recommend 'The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas' to readers who appreciate innovative and thought-provoking literature. Stein's avant-garde approach to storytelling makes this book a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the boundaries of autobiography and narrative fiction.

Download or read book Muslims and the Making of America written by Amir Hussain and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has never been an America without Muslims--so begins Amir Hussain, one of the most important scholars and teachers of Islam in America. Hussain, who is himself an American Muslim, contends that Muslims played an essential role in the creation and cultivation of the United States. Memories of 9/11 and the rise of global terrorism fuel concerns about American Muslims. The fear of American Muslims in part stems from the stereotype that all followers of Islam are violent extremists who want to overturn the American way of life. Inherent to this stereotype is the popular misconception that Islam is a new religion to America. In Muslims and the Making of America Hussain directly addresses both of these stereotypes. Far from undermining America, Islam and American Muslims have been, and continue to be, important threads in the fabric of American life. Hussain chronicles the history of Islam in America to underscore the valuable cultural influence of Muslims on American life. He then rivets attention on music, sports, and culture as key areas in which Muslims have shaped and transformed American identity. America, Hussain concludes, would not exist as it does today without the essential contributions made by its Muslim citizens. --J. Ryan Parker "The Midwest Book Review"

Download or read book MARTIN EDEN (Modern Classics Series) written by Jack London and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2024-01-16 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack London's novel Martin Eden is a masterpiece that explores the themes of individualism, social class, and the pursuit of intellectual and artistic fulfillment. Written in a naturalistic style, the book reflects the literary context of the early 20th century, showcasing London's deep understanding of human nature and society. The story follows the protagonist Martin Eden's journey from a working-class sailor to a successful writer, highlighting the struggles he faces in trying to break the barriers of class and achieve his dreams. Jack London, renowned for his adventurous tales and social commentary, drew inspiration for Martin Eden from his own experiences as a self-taught writer. London's socialist beliefs and his admiration for Nietzschean philosophy are evident in the novel, adding depth to its characters and themes. His ability to portray the complexities of human ambition and the harsh realities of societal expectations sets Martin Eden apart as a timeless classic. I highly recommend Martin Eden to readers who enjoy thought-provoking literature that delves into the complexities of individualism and social dynamics. London's poignant storytelling and profound insights make this novel a compelling read for anyone interested in the human condition and the pursuit of intellectual enlightenment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "THREE LIVES (Modern Classics Series)” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Three Lives tells the story of three common women, living in Bridgepoint, a fictional town based on Baltimore. The three stories are independent of each other, but share much more than a same town. The First Story, "The Good Anna” tells the tale of life and death of a housekeeper Anna, and her difficulties with unreliable under servants and "stray dogs and cats". Although her job is hard and often quite dull, Anna remains happy with here green parrot that brings colors to her life. "Melanctha" focuses upon the distinctions and blending of race, sex, gender, and female health. The main character Melanctha, daughter of a black father and mixed-race mother in segregated Bridgepoint, goes throughout the life on a quest for knowledge and power, as she is dissatisfied with her role in the world. "The Gentle Lena” follows the life of Lena, a German girl brought to Bridgepoint by a cousin. Lena begins her life in America as a servant girl, but is eventually married to Herman Kreder, the son of German immigrants. Both Herman and Lena are marked by extraordinary passivity, and the marriage is essentially made in deference to the desires of their elders. Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) was an American novelist, poet, playwright and art collector, best known for Three Lives, The Making of Americans and Tender Buttons. Stein moved to Paris in 1903, and made France her home for the remainder of her life. Picasso and Cubism were an important influence on Stein's writing. Her works are compared to James Joyce's Ulysses and to Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time.

Book excerpt: The Autobiography of an Androgyne is the first autobiography of Earl Lind, writer and activist for the rights of people who didn't conform to gender and sexual norms. The goal in writing this book was to help create an accepting environment for young adults who don't conform to gender and sexual norms, because that was what he would have wanted for himself, and he wanted to prevent youth from committing suicide.

Download or read book A People's History of the United States written by Howard Zinn and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2003-02-04 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools -- with its emphasis on great men in high places -- to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles -- the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality -- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history. Revised, updated, and featuring a new after, word by the author, this special twentieth anniversary edition continues Zinn's important contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history.

Download or read book All Quiet on the Western Front written by Erich Maria Remarque and published by Everyman's Library. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hardcover edition of the classic tale of a young soldier's harrowing experiences in the trenches, widely acclaimed as the greatest war novel of all time—featuring an Introduction by historian Norman Stone. Now a Netflix Film. When twenty-year-old Paul Bäumer and his classmates enlist in the German army during World War I, they are full of youthful enthusiam. But the world of duty, culture, and progress they had been taught to believe in shatters under the first brutal bombardment in the trenches. Through the ensuing years of horror, Paul holds fast to a single vow: to fight against the principle of hate that meaninglessly pits young men of the same generation but different uniforms against one another. Erich Maria Remarque's classic novel not only portrays in vivid detail the combatants' physical and mental trauma, but dramatizes as well the tragic detachment from civilian life felt by many upon returning home. Remarque's stated intention—“to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war"—remains as powerful and relevant as ever, a century after that conflict's end." Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Contemporary Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.

Download or read book American Abyss written by Daniel E. Bender and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-23 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of the twentieth century, industrialization both dramatically altered everyday experiences and shaped debates about the effects of immigration, empire, and urbanization. In American Abyss, Daniel E. Bender examines an array of sources—eugenics theories, scientific studies of climate, socialist theory, and even popular novels about cavemen—to show how intellectuals and activists came to understand industrialization in racial and gendered terms as the product of evolution and as the highest expression of civilization.Their discussions, he notes, are echoed today by the use of such terms as the "developed" and "developing" worlds. American industry was contrasted with the supposed savagery and primitivism discovered in tropical colonies, but observers who made those claims worried that industrialization, by encouraging immigration, child and women's labor, and large families, was reversing natural selection. Factories appeared to favor the most unfit. There was a disturbing tendency for such expressions of fear to favor eugenicist "remedies."Bender delves deeply into the culture and politics of the age of industry. Linking urban slum tourism and imperial science with immigrant better-baby contests and hoboes, American Abyss uncovers the complex interactions of turn-of-the-century ideas about race, class, gender, and ethnicity. Moreover, at a time when immigration again lies at the center of American economy and society, this book offers an alarming and pointed historical perspective on contemporary fears of immigrant laborers.
