Book Synopsis The Wasted Generation by : Owen McMahon Johnson
Download or read book The Wasted Generation written by Owen McMahon Johnson and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-08-10 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Owen McMahon Johnson's 'The Wasted Generation' meticulously examines the odyssey of self-discovery within the context of monumental historical upheaval. In his portrayal of David Littledale, an American expatriate entrenched in the hedonism of France's privileged class pre-World War I, Johnson captures the dissonance between frivolous pre-war indulgence and the sobering realities of conflict. This novel, steeped in the philosophical reverberations of a world at a crossroads, distinguishes itself with a narrative that is as contemplative as it is a pointed critique of a society teetering on the brink of transformation. With a prose that conveys both the decadence of the era and the starkness of war, Johnson provides a unique literary window into a generation's existential reckoning. Johnson, an American author, drew from his personal observations of society and the changing tides of cultural values to inform his writings. His characters often reflect a deep disenchantment with their historical moment, mirroring the disillusionment that followed the Great War. 'The Wasted Generation' can be seen as Johnson's intimate understanding and commentary on the period's zeitgeist, encapsulating the perplexing journey from innocence to maturation against the backdrop of a world losing its youthful gleam to the grimness of war. Scholars and general readers alike will discover in Johnson's 'The Wasted Generation' a compelling portrait of a man, and by extension a society, grappling with the profound dislocations brought about by war. It is an essential read for those interested in the literary depictions of the early 20th-century zeitgeist and the universally relatable journey towards finding meaning amidst chaos. Johnson's novel remains not only a sober reflection on a critical historical moment but also a timeless meditation on the human condition and the quest for identity in a rapidly changing world.
Book Synopsis The Wasted Generation by : Silviu Brucan
Download or read book The Wasted Generation written by Silviu Brucan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My generation in Eastern Europe was caught in the middle of two revolutions (1944 and 1989), which instead of moving history ahead pushed it backward. We thus at first made a U-turn-a tortuous one, to be sure-from underdeveloped capitalism to underdeveloped socialism, but because socialism and underdevelopment are strange bedfellows,we have since discovered we were on the wrong path and are trying now to return to where we started. The drama of that generation is what this book is about.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wasted Generation The record used to hang at the foot of my bed beside the fever chart and the record of Operations. From Chambery, here into a rest area, to put on flesh again, to quiet my jumping nerves and to fatten up for the return to the front. To-day I have no desire to hasten that return. I write it down frankly, - as I intend to keep honesty with myself and my impressions. There are other times when I feel the tug and fret to be back. It is my mood to-day, as war is a succession of nu related moods. This morning I ask no more of life than to continue here at my Open window in the buzzing month of August, looking down on a drowsy world in animal content. A pipe of tobacco and the noonday meal Pinard, pommes de terre frites, and perhaps a ragout with a touch of onions - all these simple joys to my keen senses seem the limit of human desires.

Book Synopsis The Lost Generation by : Ernest Hemingway
Download or read book The Lost Generation written by Ernest Hemingway and published by Strelbytskyy Multimedia Publishing. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lost Generation: The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway, The Great Gatsby by Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Death of a Hero by Richard Aldington, Under Fire: The Story of a Squad by Henri Barbusse. After the First World War, special people returned to their home towns from the front. When the war began, they were still boys, but duty forced them to defend the homeland. "Lost Generation" - as they were called. This concept is used today when we talk about writers who worked during the breaks between the First and Second World Wars, which became a test for all of humanity and were almost all beaten out of their usual, peaceful rut. One of the themes that commonly appears in the authors' works is decadence and the frivolous lifestyle of the wealthy. Writers of the lost generation raise in their works the problem of young people who returned from the war and did not find their home, their relatives. Questions about how to live, how to remain human, how to learn to enjoy life again - this is what is paramount in this literary movement. Table of Contents: 1. Ernest Hemingway: A Farewell to Arms 2. Ernest Hemingway: The Sun Also Rises 3. Francis Scott Fitzgerald: The Great Gatsby 4. Richard Aldington: Death of a Hero 5. Henri Barbusse: Under Fire: The Story of a Squad

Download or read book iGen written by Jean M. Twenge and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-08-22 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As seen in Time, USA TODAY, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, and on CBS This Morning, BBC, PBS, CNN, and NPR, iGen is crucial reading to understand how the children, teens, and young adults born in the mid-1990s and later are vastly different from their Millennial predecessors, and from any other generation. With generational divides wider than ever, parents, educators, and employers have an urgent need to understand today’s rising generation of teens and young adults. Born in the mid-1990s up to the mid-2000s, iGen is the first generation to spend their entire adolescence in the age of the smartphone. With social media and texting replacing other activities, iGen spends less time with their friends in person—perhaps contributing to their unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. But technology is not the only thing that makes iGen distinct from every generation before them; they are also different in how they spend their time, how they behave, and in their attitudes toward religion, sexuality, and politics. They socialize in completely new ways, reject once sacred social taboos, and want different things from their lives and careers. More than previous generations, they are obsessed with safety, focused on tolerance, and have no patience for inequality. With the first members of iGen just graduating from college, we all need to understand them: friends and family need to look out for them; businesses must figure out how to recruit them and sell to them; colleges and universities must know how to educate and guide them. And members of iGen also need to understand themselves as they communicate with their elders and explain their views to their older peers. Because where iGen goes, so goes our nation—and the world.
