Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kaleidoscope of Memories Ryan Matthews said his memories were like a kaleidoscope — all bright shards, that one moment made a bright image, and fell apart the next. And that was before someone hit him over the head with a sap and scrambled his brain. He likened it to a filing cabinet that had been tipped over and now all the papers must be resorted and filed. And as his best friend said, they hadn't been all that well organized to begin with. It felt like there were more than one Ryan Matthews. And at least one of them, wanted to take over and run his life. Ryan remembered that Ryan. He'd been a ruthless little bastard. And if he won — Ryan at 20 — Ryan stood to lose a lot of things he valued about his life now. Starting with his wife and son. A collection of short stories in the Newsroom PDX series that covers the summer between book 11, Memory, and book 12, Hunted. It includes Fire Drill, also available separately.

Book excerpt: Set in the days of violent revolution against British rule in India, "A Living Memory" begins in a remote village, Alipur, at the bank of Mahi River in India, where families live in harmony in a close-knit community surrounding a sugar mill. Life in the community remains serene, not affected by the outside turmoil, as Romi and Tushar grow up playing and having adventures in a rural setup. As they mature, their paths diverge but they remain in close contact maintaining their old intimacy. One day a young girl, Runu, is found missing from her home. She was being held captive by a man of authority in the community. Later, as she walks to a house late one night, Tushar and his friends recognize her and bring her back home. The story then begins to unfold the life of Runu, along with Tushar, as she goes through a tumultuous life in uncertainty and disappointments as well as love and hopes. She longs for reaching her living memories and to her dismay finds that time has robbed her dreams. The story reflects the complexities of life in love, desire and social conflicts. Life in a small close community with scenes of a rural village in India has been eloquently described. Significant historical events, like the revolt against colonial power, great famine and horror of communal riots of the1930s and 40s that changed the social and political landscape of India are entwined with the characters' lives. Born in India, the author was educated and professionally engaged in scientific disciplines and moved to the United States in the 60s. On the literary side, he has written many short stories and essays for various magazines and published his first novel, "Her Own Path" in 2002.
Download or read book Memories Stirred written by Colin Mobey and published by Colin Mobey. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Advents were to be Humanity's saviour.... Historical records say the Advents just appeared. Millions of powerful ruptures in space providing a limitless energy supply. A solution to one of Humanity's greatest problems. It needed two galaxy-spanning wars for people to understand that humans need such change to be enforced. Now, they have turned towards the rigidity, structure and safety offered by the Conglomerate and its Corporations. Everyone is born into a life as dictated by the needs of all. Where careers are defined for all. Full and comprehensive training is given to all. Everyone works towards their ultimate potential as judged for them by the Conglomerate, and they all serve willingly. Almost all of them anyway. Kidnapped, a graduate wants to believe he is different… Thrain Attandee has always wanted to know more than is good for him. More than is accepted as good for society in general, and someone has fed that hunger. Now, after pushing the authorities too far, he is snatched away to face something he never expected: the possibility of getting what he wants. Used to her normal, safe life, all an ambitious associate wants is to return to it… On the fast track to rise as high as her career path will allow, Morgan has her own life turned upside down as she reluctantly joins the hunt for Thrain. Working with the frustrating Mr Jones who seems thrown out of time, she will be forced to endure excitement and terror – things the Conglomerate fears and will seek to contain.
Book Synopsis The Kaleidoscope of Gendered Memory in Ahlam Mosteghanemi’s Novels by : Nuha Baaqeel
Download or read book The Kaleidoscope of Gendered Memory in Ahlam Mosteghanemi’s Novels written by Nuha Baaqeel and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-12 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through its unique kaleidoscopic lens, this book analyzes the work of Algeria’s first postcolonial woman writer to publish a novel in Arabic, Ahlam Mosteghanemi. Her novels Memory in the Flesh and Chaos of the Senses return to the trauma of the Algerian War of Independence to address the lingering anxieties of national belonging and memory in postcolonial Algeria at a time when the nation is caught between two forces: entrenched bureaucratic-political elites and populist Islamists, who imagine a return to a pre-modern, utopian past. This book argues that Mosteghanemi’s polyphonic narratives reveal that national narratives are always multiple—“unity” is not one, all-encompassing narrative, but instead an ever-evolving Bakhtinian dialogism accommodating multiple perspectives, memories, and stories. The study interprets Mosteghanemi’s metaphor of the bridge as a powerful device for exploring tensions between reality and imagination, exile and belonging, and traditional concepts of gender in ways that reimagine nationhood and gesture towards a new, collective future.

Drawing on archival sources, oral histories and literary representations, the contributing authors discuss and analyse the experiences of the migrated population. Part of the Migrations in South Asia series, this book will be an important read for scholars and researchers of migration studies, refugee studies, Partition studies, Indian history, Indian politics, and South Asian studies.
Book Synopsis Cultural Memories in the Roman Empire by : Karl Galinsky

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memory studies — one of the most vibrant research fields of the present day — brings together such diverse disciplines as art and archaeology, history, religion, literature, sociology, media studies, and neuroscience. In scholarship on ancient Rome, studies of social and cultural memory complement traditional approaches, opening up new horizons as we contemplate the ancient world. The fifteen essays presented here explore memory in the Roman Empire, addressing a wide spectrum of cultural phenomena from a range of approaches. Ancient Rome was a memory culture par excellence and memory pervades all aspects of Roman culture, from literature and art to religion and politics. This volume is the first to address the cultural artifacts of Rome through the lens of memory studies. An essential guide to the material culture of Rome, this book brings important new concepts to the fore for both scholars of the ancient world and those of social and cultural memory throughout human history.
Book Synopsis Historical Memory in Africa by : Mamadou Diawara
Download or read book Historical Memory in Africa written by Mamadou Diawara and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vast amount of literature—both scholarly and popular—now exists on the subject of historical memory, but there is remarkably little available that is written from an African perspective. This volume explores the inner dynamics of memory in all its variations, from its most destructive and divisive impact to its remarkable potential to heal and reconcile. It addresses issues on both the conceptual and the pragmatic level and its theoretical observations and reflections are informed by first-hand experiences and comparative reflections from a German, Indian, and Korean perspective. A new insight is the importance of the future dimension of memory and hence the need to develop the ability to ‘remember with the future in mind’. Historical memory in an African context provides a rich kaleidoscope of the diverse experiences and perspectives—and yet there are recurring themes and similar conclusions, connecting it to a global dialogue to which it has much to contribute, but from which it also has much to receive.

She is going home to face her demons. But in a small town and a small house infected by unspeakable evil, Anne is about to learn that some memories don’t give up their secrets so easily. Some memories can’t be bargained with or cajoled or brought to heel. Some memories will drive you to the edge of sanity. Some memories will kill you.

Download or read book The Memory Chalet written by Tony Judt and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2010-11-11 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of the Year “[A] tremendously moving memorial to a first-class historian and essayist . . . humane, fearless, unsparingly honest.” —The Financial Times “[A] memorable collection from a memorable man.” —BookPage "It might be thought the height of poor taste to ascribe good fortune to a healthy man with a young family struck down at the age of sixty by an incurable degenerative disorder from which he must shortly die. But there is more than one sort of luck. To fall prey to a motor neuron disease is surely to have offended the Gods at some point, and there is nothing more to be said. But if you must suffer thus, better to have a well-stocked head." —Tony Judt The Memory Chalet is a memoir unlike any you have ever read before. Each essay charts some experience or remembrance of the past through the sieve of Tony Judt's prodigious mind. His youthful love of a particular London bus route evolves into a reflection on public civility and interwar urban planning. Memories of the 1968 student riots of Paris meander through the divergent sex politics of Europe, before concluding that his generation "was a revolutionary generation, but missed the revolution." A series of road trips across America lead not just to an appreciation of American history, but to an eventual acquisition of citizenship. Foods and trains and long-lost smells all compete for Judt's attention; but for us, he has forged his reflections into an elegant arc of analysis. All as simply and beautifully arranged as a Swiss chalet-a reassuring refuge deep in the mountains of memory.
Book Synopsis Memory, Narrative and the Great War by : David Taylor
Download or read book Memory, Narrative and the Great War written by David Taylor and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memory, Narrative and the Great War examines the varied and complex war writings of Patrick MacGill within a contemporary framework. David Taylor tracks how MacGill shifted from heroic wartime narratives in his autobiographical writings to the pessimistic, guiltridden characters in his postwar novel, Fear!, and play, Suspense. Using these texts to show how MacGill remembered and reremembered his wartime experiences, Taylor analyzes MacGill's writings with implications for a broader interpretation of Great War literature, highlighting wartime memory and narrative as an ever-changing kaleidoscope in which pieces of memory take on different—but equally valid—shapes with the passing of time.
Book Synopsis The Edge of Memory by : Patrick Nunn
Download or read book The Edge of Memory written by Patrick Nunn and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-08-23 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How much of the folk tales of our ancestors is rooted in fact, and what can they tell us about the future? In today's society it is the written word that holds the authority. We are more likely to trust the words found in a history textbook over the version of history retold by a friend – after all, human memory is unreliable, and how can you be sure your friend hasn't embellished the facts? But before humans were writing down their knowledge, they were passing it on in the form of stories. The Edge of Memory celebrates the predecessor of written information – the spoken word, tales from our ancestors that have been passed down, transmitting knowledge from one generation to the next. Among the most extensive and best-analysed of these stories are from native Australian cultures. These stories conveyed both practical information and recorded history, describing a lost landscape, often featuring tales of flooding and submergence. Folk traditions such as these are increasingly supported by hard science. Geologists are starting to corroborate the tales through study of climatic data, sediments and land forms; the evidence was there in the stories, but until recently, nobody was listening. In this book, Patrick Nunn unravels the importance of these tales, exploring the science behind folk history from around the world – including northwest Europe and India – and what it can tell us about environmental phenomena, from coastal drowning to volcanic eruptions. These stories of real events were handed down the generations over thousands of years, and they have broad implications for our understanding of how human societies have developed through the millennia, and ultimately how we respond collectively to changes in climate, our surroundings and the environment we live in.
