Book excerpt: "Silent Sun is the story of one man's quest for his heritage - a chronicle of hardships experienced in Nazi labor camps; a tribute, also, to the human spirit." "From the nights of September 1939, when caravans of Polish cavalry passed too quietly beneath his windows in Chrzanow, Poland, Solomon Gross was filled with a sense of foreboding. By 1940, his fears were realized as he found himself in Sakran, a Nazi labor camp - cutting sod in the warm weather, shoveling snow in a cold that froze his canvas-clogged feet, living on potato soup. Conditions worsened from day to day." "But if the camp at Sakran was "the most difficult physical experience" for Gross, the Graditz camp he was moved to in 1941 was difficult in its own way - "a trial of a totally different nature" . . . a place where, for a time, one hundred people lived on rations meant for forty. In the two and a half years Gross was shuttled between Graditz and another camp called Faulbruck, his survival instincts emerged with new fervor: he smuggled potatoes from the camp kitchen in his knickerbockers; he ate sugar beets - or "swine fodder" - for as long as he could stomach them. And ever and again he made his blacksmithing talents a distraction to the Germans - a cover for operations of survival." "In the second half of 1944, Gross was moved from Graditz to Sportschule, a division of the Grossrosen concentration camp. There, he had to give up his own clothes for a striped, burlap uniform, and his hair to the crude barbering instruments of his captors. And yet, in such bleak surroundings, he persevered - wrote inspiring letters to his future wife, Dorka, smuggled food to his mother, shared rations with his friend Berek." "Writes Gross, "Some, like myself, spent close to four years waiting for the great day." Indeed. Four years. Something like a college education - only with an infinitely more grueling course load, and participation in graduation an uncertainty. Fortunately for Gross, convocation came with the buzzing of Allied bombers: in the midst of death machines was deliverance." "Life during the war had not been without occasional pleasures, or even joys. Through those years in the camp, Gross had shared a sweet courtship with Dorka, after all, and experienced the kindness of sympathetic peasants and half-hearted enemies. Conversely, postwar life was not without its trials. Some of Gross's Russian liberators, for instance, proved crude in their pursuit of victory's "spoils." But Gross, like so many of the liberated Jews, was irrepressible. Like the great silent sun he longed to be warmed by, Solomon Gross was ever persistent. In its rays, he found his heritage."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Book excerpt: Carole Meadows seems to have obtained her own little slice of Americana. Married to a handsome, young doctor and making a name for herself in the financial industry, she seems settled in her life in South Carolina. But a growing discontentedness with her chosen path and a nagging chapter from her past threaten to shatter her seemingly idyllic life. Then the sudden suicide of Carole’s cousin, Sarah, a woman with whom Carole has always had a contentious relationship, takes a bigger toll on her than she could have ever imagined. When she discovers that her husband played a role in Sarah’s death, Carole succumbs to a depression so devastating, it threatens to destroy her. With the help of a sympathetic therapist, an overprotective mother, and her best friend, Shirley, Carole struggles to put the pieces of her life back together. On an impulse, she signs on as a counselor at a summer camp in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Under the guidance of the camp’s leader, Dr. Robert Tucker, a Lakota Indian who has secrets of his own, Carole embarks on an odyssey of self-discovery and learns the true meaning of friendship, tolerance, and love.

Book excerpt: Quintessentially British, Genesis spearheaded progressive rock in the 1970s, evolving into a chart-topping success through the end of the millennium. Influencing rock groups such as Radiohead, Phish, Rush, Marillion and Elbow, the experimental format of Genesis' songs inspired new avenues for music to explore. From the 23-minute masterpiece "Supper's Ready," via the sublime beauty of "Ripples" and the bold experimentation of "Mama", to hits such as "Invisible Touch" and "I Can't Dance," their material was inventive and unique. This book is the chronological history of the band's music, with critical analysis and key details of each of the 204 songs Genesis recorded and released.

Download or read book The Hundredfold written by Anthony Esolen and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2019-08-26 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hundredfold is a tapestry of hymns, monologues, and short lyrics knit together as one book-length poem in praise of Christ in all his startling humanity. Drawing from the riches of the English poetic tradition—meter, rhyme, music—the poet considers the mysterious man from Nazareth and the world he came to set on fire with splendor. Having made a career translating the Italian masters Dante and Tasso, Anthony Esolen now puts on the dusty mantle of such English craftsmen as Donne, Milton, and Hopkins in his first book of original contemplative poetry. The Hundredfold contains dramatic monologues set in first-century Greece and Palestine; lyrical meditations on creation, longing, failure, modern emptiness, and unshakeable hope; and twenty-one brand-new hymns, set to such traditional melodies as “Picardy” and “Old One-Hundred-Twenty-Fourth”. The book includes an introduction with diamond-sharp insights into English poetic form—at a time when form is so often misunderstood, if not dismissed. It provides an invaluable resource for students, teachers, and poets themselves, as well as those who simply read poetry for pleasure.

Book excerpt: “Those who enjoy the work of such popular feminist speculative fiction writers as Joanna Russ and Ursula K. Le Guin will find much to admire here.” —Publishers Weekly Winner of the IAFA Crawford, and the James Tiptree, Jr., and the Aurora awards, Black Wine beckons readers into a stark and richly realized world similar to yet very different from our own, to explore the many ways a woman can be cut off from her own history. How does a woman survive, maintain her sense of self in such a place? An amnesiac slave girl struggles to learn about her past—and secure a future outside the oppressive society that binds her. A female adventurer confronts danger as she searches for her lost mother. A wife struggles within a marriage to a man she does not want. A world of female characters whose emotional journeys are intimately intertwined, where identity and history, language and perception, sexuality and oppression, unite them in their search for meaning, human connection, and ultimately, freedom. “The careful braiding of self, places, and times insidiously pulls you in.—Elisabeth Vonarburg, author of The Silent City and The Maerlande Chronicles “Like its title, Black Wine is rare and darkly glowing with iridescence. A taut, spare, wonderful creation.” —Edmonton Journal “A tantalizing, distinctive, sexy, and beautifully rendered first novel.” —Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book The Street Kids written by Pier Paolo Pasolini and published by Europa Editions. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “provocative” novel about hard-living teenagers in poverty-stricken postwar Rome, by the renowned Italian filmmaker (The New York Times). Set during the post–World War II years in the Rome of the borgate—outlying neighborhoods beset by poverty and deprivation—The Street Kids tells the story of a group of adolescents belonging to the urban underclass. Living hand-to-mouth, Riccetto and his friends eke out an existence doing odd jobs, committing petty crimes, and prostituting themselves. Rooted in the neorealist movement of the 1950s, The Street Kids is a tender, heart-rending tribute to an entire social class in danger of being forgotten. Heavily censored and criticized, lambasted by much of the general public upon its publication, The Street Kids nevertheless had a force and vitality that eventually led to its being considered a masterpiece. This new translation comes from Ann Goldstein, the acclaimed translator of Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan novels.
