Download or read book The Satirist written by Theodore Draper and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Satire takes as its subject the absurdity of human beings, their societies, and the institutions they create. For centuries, satirists themselves, scholars, critics, and psychologists have speculated about the satirist's reasons for writing, temperament, and place in society. The conclusions they have reached are sometimes contradictory, sometimes complementary, sometimes outlandish. In this volume, Leonard Feinberg brings together the major theories about the satirist, to provide in one book a summary of the problems that specialists have examined intensively in numerous books and articles. In part 1, Feinberg examines the major theories about the motivation of the satirist, and then proposes that "adjustment" comes most closely to answering this question. In his view, the satirist resolves his ambivalent relation to society through a playfully critical distortion of the familiar. The personality of the satirist, the apparently paradoxical elements of his nature, the problem of why so many great humorists are sad men, and the contributions of psychoanalysts are explored in part 2, where Feinberg contends that the satirist is not as abnormal as he has sometimes been made to seem, and that if he is a neurotic he shares traits of emotional or social alienation with many others. Part 3 explores the beliefs of satirists and their relation to the environment within which they function, particularly in the contexts of politics, religion, and philosophy. Feinberg stresses the ubiquity of the satirist and suggests that there are a great many people with satiric temperaments who fail to attain literary expression. Ranging with astonishing breadth, both historical and geographical, The Satirist serves as both an introduction to the subject and an essential volume for scholars. Brian A. Connery's introduction provides an overview of Feinberg's career and situates the volume in the intellectual currents in which it was written.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waking the Tiger is a novel set in late-1950s Sri Lanka, a country at the edge of a gathering storm of violence. Feinberg weaves a complex story of the clash between cultures and castes, expats and ex-colonials, Hindu swamis and Buddhist priests, politicians and entrepeneurs, Sinhalese and Tamils, idealism and realism. Filled with vivid accounts of local customs and locales, Waking the Tiger sardonically describes the underbelly of an apparent paradise. Feinberg lived in Sri Lanka with his family from 1957-1958, when he was Fulbright lecturer in American Literature at the University of Ceylon.

Book excerpt: Williwaw Winds is a tale of disaster at sea inspired by the authors sons true story. Jake Bergren, only 16, has a bad attitude as he begins his first-ever crab fishing trip in Alaskan waters. Hes angry: toward his dad for caring more about his sister than about him toward Freddy, the crewman who forever taunts and teases him toward himself for running away from brotherly responsibilities at home toward God for allowing his sister to suffer after her accident When violent winds threaten their fishing boat, Jakes priorities suddenly change. Is he strong enough to help the crew save their boat? Is he brave enough to jump into their tiny life raft? Will they survive the 100-knot winds? Did the Coast Guard hear their May Day call? Will he ever see his family again? An inspiring tale. Keeps you on the edge of your seat as you watch a boy come of age. --Boyd Sutton, Former Editor, The Wisconsin Writers Journal By itself, the tale is a sea story worthy of Jack London, but like The Sea Wolf, there is much more here than a yarn of misadventure there is a depth of spirituality in her writing that isnt heavy-handed or preachy, but serves as a reminder of the grace of God in extremis If there is any failing in Bairs tale, it is that it is far too short a time to spend in Jake Bergrens world. --Rick Olivo, Reporter, The Daily Press, Ashland, Wis.

Concluding with the influence of modern civilization on the changing climate and its world-altering consequences, the author challenges the reader to take action now to alter the effects of global warming on future generations.

Download or read book Coming into the Country written by John McPhee and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coming into the Country is an unforgettable account of Alaska and Alaskans. It is a rich tapestry of vivid characters, observed landscapes, and descriptive narrative, in three principal segments that deal, respectively, with a total wilderness, with urban Alaska, and with life in the remoteness of the bush. Readers of McPhee's earlier books will not be unprepared for his surprising shifts of scene and ordering of events, brilliantly combined into an organic whole. In the course of this volume we are made acquainted with the lore and techniques of placer mining, the habits and legends of the barren-ground grizzly, the outlook of a young Athapaskan chief, and tales of the fortitude of settlers—ordinary people compelled by extraordinary dreams. Coming into the Country unites a vast region of America with one of America's notable literary craftsmen, singularly qualified to do justice to the scale and grandeur of the design.
