Book Synopsis Corfu; Cat Tales under Lockdown - a diary by : Lynne Sayer
Download or read book Corfu; Cat Tales under Lockdown - a diary written by Lynne Sayer and published by Lynne Sayer. This book was released on 2022-10-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cancelled flight opened a new chapter in Lynne's life. Along with her husband she was 'stranded' on the beautiful island of Corfu, Greece. For the first time in her 75 years, this wife and grandmother of 10 had time to herself. This was a unique period in Lynne's life and a dramatic time in the history of the world. Covid19 was dislocating and destroying the lives of so many people. Against the backdrop of the pandemic Lynne was able to draw positivity and simple pleasures from her beautiful surroundings and, most importantly of all, derive great joy and delight from the local cat population. A review of the book from Dr Lee Durrell: ' This book is about cats, of course, enchanting and extraordinary creatures that they are, each with its own loveable character and temperament. It is also about the magic of Corfu - its profusion of spring wildflowers, melodies of sheep bells and centuries-old traditions. But there is much more going on here. Lynne Sayer’s diary ranges from current global events to deeply personal ones. We hear about covid, Brexit and threats to American democracy, as well as the doings of her children and grandchildren in lockdown England. This is well worth a read as a chronicle of our times….and for cat-lovers everywhere. The modest purchase price goes towards improving the lives of stray cats and kittens in Lynne’s region of Corfu. The book ends with a heartfelt appeal to contribute to the work of Kassiopi Cats Meow, which is “the best way to help the brave little cats”. I, for one, could not resist it! ' Lee Durrell, Corfu, October 2021

Book Synopsis Something Beautiful Happened by : Yvette Manessis Corporon
Download or read book Something Beautiful Happened written by Yvette Manessis Corporon and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yvette Manessis Corporon grew up listening to her grandmother's stories about how the people of the small Greek island Erikousa hid a Jewish family -- a tailor named Savvas and his daughters -- from the Nazis during World War II. Nearly 2,000 Jews from that area died in the concentration camps, but even though everyone on Erikousa knew Savvas and his family were hiding on the island, no one ever gave them up, and the family survived the war. Years later, Yvette couldn't get the story of the Jewish tailor out of her head. She decided to track down the man's descendants -- and eventually found them in Israel. Their tearful reunion was proof to her that evil doesn't always win. But just days after she made the connection, her cousin's child was gunned down in a parking lot in Kansas, a victim of a Neo-Nazi out to inflict as much harm as he could. Despite her best hopes, she was forced to confront the fact that seventy years after the Nazis were defeated, it was still happening today. As Yvette and her family wrestled with the tragedy in their own lives, the lessons she learned from the survivors of the Holocaust helped her confront and make sense of the present.
Download or read book Rebetiko Worlds written by Dafni Tragaki and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-14 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rebetiko Worlds invites the reader to share the experience of rebetiko music-making in the city of Thessaloniki today. It aims at representing an ethnographic world made of diverse realities united by the melancholic sounds of rebetiko songs. Rather than a musicological account on rebetiko music, this ethnography is about the human encounters happening in certain rebetiko venues of the Ano Poli area in Thessaloniki. How do people perceive, practice, feel and imagine rebetiko song—a music tradition coming from the beginning of the 20th century—today? What are the worldviews embodied and inspired in the context of the ongoing rebetiko performances? And, how may the exploration of rebetiko revivalist culture convey understandings of broader music-cultural orientations defining contemporary Greek society? This ethnography is primarily interested in knowing contemporary rebetiko culture as a ‘lived experience’. It captures instances of the life-worlds of the people involved in the rebetiko revival, which unravel the ways local traditions are re-defined in the context of the nostalgic re-invention of ‘ethnic’ music in postcolonial times. On this level, the representation of the discourses and aesthetics associated with rebetiko performances today instigate further interpretations of local cultural trends, the visions of ‘our’ future triggered by the mythicized representations of ‘our’ past. Beyond a window to the rebetiko worlds of today, this book recounts the story of an ethnographer engaged in fieldwork ‘at home’. It aims at communicating the dynamics of reflexivity shaping the ethnographic self by proposing an understanding of the fieldwork experience as a ‘special ontology’. In this way, it reveals the various dilemmas, moments of enthusiasm and moments of despair lived in the process of research in an attempt to illuminate the poetics of the subjective cultural knowledge. Rebetiko Worlds incites the reader to share the poetics of ethnographic ‘fiction’ and interpretation and, through this, the gradual ‘making’ of the ethnomusicologist in the field.

Book Synopsis Amateurs In Eden by : Joanna Hodgkin
Download or read book Amateurs In Eden written by Joanna Hodgkin and published by Virago. This book was released on 2012-02-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nancy Durrell was a woman famous for her silences. Anaïs Nin said 'I think often of Nancy's most eloquent silences, Nancy talking with her fingers, her hair, her cheeks, a wonderful gift. Music again.' As the first wife Lawrence Durrell, author of The Alexandria Quartet, it is perhaps surprising that she is an unknown entity, a constant presence in the biographies of Durrell and others in the Bloomsbury set, yet always a shadowy figure, beautiful and enigmatic. But who was the woman who was with Durrell during the most important years of his development as a writer? Joanna Hodgkin decides to retrace her mother's fascinating story: the escape from her toxic and mysterious family; the years in bohemian literary London and Paris in the 1930s; marriage to Durrell and their discovery of the 'Eden' of pre-war Corfu and her desperate struggle to survive in Palestine alone with a small child as the British Mandate collapsed. Amateurs in Eden is a fascinating biography of a literary marriage and of an unusual woman struggling to live an independent life.

Book Synopsis Translating the Postcolonial in Multilingual Contexts by : Collectif
Download or read book Translating the Postcolonial in Multilingual Contexts written by Collectif and published by Presses universitaires de la Méditerranée. This book was released on 2021-07-02 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays aims to contribute to scholarship already published in Translation Studies and Postcolonial Studies, endeavouring to question the traditional divide between these two academic strands and to bring them closer together in creative ways, across several geographical regions, linguistic contexts and historical circumstances. Moving away from a binary and dichotomous approach, the authors address these questions that link linguistic heterogeneity, postcolonial resistance and border identities. How does translation as a process operate across different linguistic and cultural spaces? How do translated selves negotiate meaning simultaneously across multiple linguistic borders? For the sake of cohesion, the geopolitical zones of translational contact have been limited to two colonial/European languages, namely French and English. The regional languages involved cover postcolonial, cultural spaces where Mauritian, Haitian, Reunionese and Louisianian Creole, Gikuyu, Wolof, Swahili and Arabic are spoken.
Book Synopsis Prospero's Cell by : Lawrence Durrell
Download or read book Prospero's Cell written by Lawrence Durrell and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a member of the real-life family portrayed in The Durrells in Corfu, this memoir of the idyllic Greek island is “among the best books ever written” (The New York Times). Before Lawrence Durrell became a renowned novelist, poet, and travel writer, he spent four youthful years on Corfu, an island jewel with beauty to match the long and fascinating history within its rocky shores. While his brother, Gerald, was collecting animals as a budding naturalist, Lawrence fished, drank, and lived with the natives in the years leading up to World War II, sheltered from the tumult that was engulfing Europe—until finally he could ignore the world no longer. Durrell left for Alexandria, to serve his country as a wartime diplomat, but never forgot the wonders of Corfu. In this “brilliant” journey through that idyllic time and place, Durrell returns to the land that made him so happy, blending his love of history with memories of his adventures there (The Economist). Like the blue Aegean, Prospero’s Cell is deep and crystal clear, offering a perfect view straight to the heart of a nation.
