Book Synopsis Two Thousand Million Man-Power by : Gertrude Trevelyan
Download or read book Two Thousand Million Man-Power written by Gertrude Trevelyan and published by Boiler House Press. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two Thousand Million Man-Power follows Robert, a chemist, and Katherine, a schoolteacher, through two tumultuous decades in English history. From New Year's Eve 1919 to the funeral of King George V in 1936, they experience youthful radicalism, economic boom and bust, comfortable middle class life in the suburbs and grinding poverty and the debilitating experience of looking for work where there is none to be found. Gertrude Trevelyan sets their story against the backdrop of newspaper headlines, radio broadcasts and advertising slogans, contrasting the promises of progress and technology with the brutal effects of economic upswings and downturns. The result is one of the finest fictional portraits of English life in the 1920s and 1930s -- the equivalent for England of John Dos Passos's epic, U.S.A.. Utterly forgotten for over 80 years, Gertrude Trevelyan is finally being rediscovered. The stylistic and imaginative daring of her fiction arguably makes her one of the finest English novelists of the generation that followed Virginia Woolf. A panoramic view of English life from 1919 to 1936, Two Thousand Million Man-Power is no wistful, nostalgic account of this time. Instead, Gertrude Trevelyan shows how even the brightest and most able personalities can be ground down by economic highs and lows and a system in which individuals quickly disappear into crowds and statistics. One year, Robert and Katherine are enjoying the consumer comforts of a radio, a car, a house in the suburbs. The next, they are struggling to make ends meet in a tiny, squalid East End flat as Robert trudges hopelessly into London each day in hopes of finding work. The result is a savage portrait equalled only by George Orwell's The Road to Wigan Pier.

Book Synopsis Appius and Virginia by : G.E. Trevelyan
Download or read book Appius and Virginia written by G.E. Trevelyan and published by Eye Books (US&CA). This book was released on 2020-10-21 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virginia Hutton embarks upon an experiment. She will take an ape and raise it as a human child...She purchases an infant orangutan and names him Appius. She clothes him, feeds him, and puts him to bed in a cot every night. As Appius grows older, she teaches him to dress himself, to speak, to read, to stand and walk up straight, to eat his meals at the dining table with a knife and fork. She teaches him how to be human. The young orangutan is not always a willing student. Their relationship becomes fraught and flits between that of mother and child, teacher and student, scientist and experiment. But as Appius gains knowledge he moves ever closer to the one discovery Virginia does not want him to make: that of his true origins.
Book Synopsis William's Wife by : Gertrude Trevelyan
Download or read book William's Wife written by Gertrude Trevelyan and published by Boiler House Press. This book was released on 2023-09-29 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Miss Trevelyan's scope of human experience makes her one of the most important novelists of our day." - Leonora Eyles, Times Literary Supplement William’s Wife is perhaps the most normal horror story ever written. There are no monsters or murderers here – just two ordinary people. Jane Atkins is a lady’s maid who thinks she has moved up in the world by marrying William Chirp, a successful widowed grocer in her town of Jewsbury. Jane has managed her own affairs and is proud of her small savings. But she quickly finds that William exercises control over everything in the household, down to the last penny. Jane resorts to subterfuge and evasion to keep going, but as time goes on, she takes on William’s suspicions and fears. After he dies, she spirals down into an obsessive paranoia and penury that Trevelyan depicts with chilling realism – a portrait unique in its convincing oppression. Back in print for the first time since 1938, William's Wife is one of the most powerful portraits of a pathological obsession in English literature. “A book which lingers in the mind, which leaves the reader unsettled and disturbed.” Alice Jolly “Novelists seldom achieve such a power of close concentration upon a single theme as Miss Trevelyan has shown in this macabre tale." Liverpool Daily Post
Book Synopsis As It Was in the Beginning by : Gertrude Trevelyan
Download or read book As It Was in the Beginning written by Gertrude Trevelyan and published by Boiler House Press. This book was released on 2024-05-31 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most audacious of all modernist novels. Millicent, Lady Cheseborough -- fifty, widowed, rejected by her much younger lover -- lies dying in a nursing home, the victim of a stroke. As she nears death, her thoughts go back through her life in a desperate attempt to find its meaning. Millicent is a woman who has never been fully sure of herself. We see her as a child asking her nanny why she has to live within her body. We see her as a young woman wondering how any eligible bachelor will take an interest in her. We see her as the wife of an older, assured man upon whom she becomes dependent. We suffer with her as a gigolo seduces her, wastes her money, and abandons her. And we feel ourselves with her as she struggles to be understood through her stroke and disorientation. As was her trademark, Gertrude Trevelyan takes us deeper into the mind of her subject than almost any novelist ever attempted, creating an intense and absorbing reading experience. With great stylistic daring, Gertrude Trevelyan recreates the stream of consciousness in its most realistic and moving form. As It Was in the Beginning is perhaps Trevelyan's most important work, a novel that belongs with To the Lighthouse or As I Lay Dying.
Book Synopsis Health Manpower Planning by : Frans C.A. Jaspers
Download or read book Health Manpower Planning written by Frans C.A. Jaspers and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most European countries there is a growing imbalance between the supply and demand of medical manpower. Though many national gov ernments, international organizations and scientific institutes, and also, with a view from a different angle, doctors associations recognize this problem, it appears to be very difficult to bring all people concerned with this problem together in order to find a solution. On this occasion, the initiative to arrange an international meeting was taken by the junior-doctors associations of The Netherlands and Sweden with the organizational support of the Faculty of Medicine of University Limburg, Maastricht, The Netherlands, and under the auspices of the Permanent Working Group of European Junior Hospital Doctors. The symposium should be considered as a step in a series of continuing activities within the field of health manpower planning. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) organized a working symposium on Long-Range Forecasting and Planning in 1968 (8ellaglio, Italy), followed by the Expert Committee ofthe OECD which produced the 'New Directives in Education for Changing Health Care System' (OECD CERI report, Paris 1975). The Dutch ministries of Education and Sciences and of Health and Environmental Protection organized a seminar on 'Cooperation of Health Care and Education at Regional Level, Responsibilities and Cost Alloca tion' (1978, Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands). Following this, the Dutch Association of Junior Hospital Doctors (LVAG) organized a national con ference 'Today a consultant in training, tomorrow an unemployed special ist?' (1980, Utrecht, The Netherlands).

Book Synopsis Gentleman Overboard by : Herbert Clyde Lewis
Download or read book Gentleman Overboard written by Herbert Clyde Lewis and published by Boiler House Press. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Out of print for over seventy years, Gentleman Overboard by Herbert Clyde Lewis is being rescued for today's readers to launch Boiler House Press's new series, Recovered Books. Halfway between Honolulu and Panama, a man slips and falls from a ship. For crucial hours, as he patiently treads water in hope of rescue, no one on board notices his absence. By the time the ship's captain is notified, it may be too late to save him... Rediscovered in 2009 by Brad Bigelow as part of tireless research for his popular Neglected Books website, Gentleman Overboard has since achieved the status of a cult classic and even become something of an international phenomenon, having seen translations into Spanish, Hebrew, and Dutch. The newspaper Ha'aretz has called it 'A miniature masterpiece that emerged from oblivion'; the Spanish magazine El Cultural dubbed it 'una perlita': 'a little pearl'. A masterful piece of narrative tension, and way ahead of its time, Gentleman Overboard sets the question of existence in its most basic terms. The story speaks fiercely to the contemporary moment and for all who share a sense of loneliness through having found themselves isolated by politics, disease, economics -or indeed just sheer accident and bad luck. The fate of the novel's hero even has ironic parallels with that of the author, Herbert Clyde Lewis, who died forgotten and alone in 1950, a victim of Hollywood's black list, and who has since slipped beneath the waves of fashion and time, but now hopefully is to be recovered from the murky depths for the readership he posthumously deserves.
