Download or read book Dear Mr. G. written by Jean Garceau and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-02 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clark Gable (1901-1960) was an American film actor who is often referred to as “The King of Hollywood”. He began his career as an extra in Hollywood silent films between 1924-1926, and progressed to supporting roles with a few films for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1930. He landed his first leading role in 1931, and was a leading man in more than 60 motion pictures over the following three decades. He became best known for his performance in Gone with the Wind (1939), for which he gained a Best Actor Oscar nomination. Dear Mr. G., which was first published in 1961, is an engaging account by Clark Gable and Carole Lombard’s personal secretary and business manager, Jean Garceau. Here is the story of a kind, generous man—a man with a sense of humor and who, despite the fame and adulation, still had the humility to say, when it was suggested that he direct films, “Direct? I haven’t learned how to act yet!” This is the true story, in words and pictures, of Clark Gable’s life, chronicled by the one woman who knew him longest—Jean Garceau.

Book Synopsis Dear Mr. Knightley by : Katherine Reay
Download or read book Dear Mr. Knightley written by Katherine Reay and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samantha's only friends were characters in books, but her real life takes an extraordinary turn when a mysterious "Mr. Knightley" offers her a full journalism scholarship—on the condition that she write to him regularly. Will their long-distance friendship unlock her heart? Sam is, to say the least, bookish. An English major of the highest order, her diet has always been Austen, Dickens, and Shakespeare. The problem is that both her prose and conversation tend to be more Elizabeth Bennet than Samantha Moore. But life for the twenty-three-year-old orphan is about to get stranger than fiction. An anonymous, Dickensian benefactor calling himself Mr. Knightley offers to put Sam through Northwestern University’s prestigious Medill School of Journalism. There is only one catch: Sam must write frequent letters to the mysterious donor, detailing her progress. Sam’s letters to Mr. Knightley become increasingly confessional as she begins to share everything from her painful childhood memories to her growing feelings for eligible novelist Alex Powell. While Alex draws Sam into a world of warmth and literature that feels like it’s straight out of a book, old secrets are drawn to light. And as Sam learns to love and trust Alex and herself, she learns once again how quickly trust can be broken. Reminding us all that our own true character is not meant to be hidden, Katherine Reay’s debut novel follows a young woman’s journey as she sheds her protective persona and embraces the person she was meant to become. Praise for Dear Mr. Knightley: “Katherine Reay’s Dear Mr. Knightley kept me up until 2:00 a.m.; I simply couldn’t put it down.”—Eloisa James, New York Times bestselling author of Once Upon a Tower “Sprinkled with classic literary references and filled with poignant characterizations, Katherine Reay’s modern retelling of Jean Webster’s Daddy-Long-Legs is both reverently crafted and delightfully surprising.”—Lauren Ann Nattress, Austenprose.com “Katherine Reay’s touching debut novel made me cry in all the right places. For joy.”—Laurie Viera Rigler, author of Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict Sweet, stand-alone contemporary romance Includes discussion questions for book clubs, a Q&A with the author, and Sam’s reading list

Even if it meant telling Charles Dickens he was wrong. In Eliza Davis's day, Charles Dickens was the most celebrated living writer in England. But some of his books reflected a prejudice that was all too common at the time: prejudice against Jewish people. Eliza was Jewish, and her heart hurt to see a Jewish character in Oliver Twist portrayed as ugly and selfish. She wanted to speak out about how unfair that was, even if it meant speaking out against the great man himself. So she wrote a letter to Charles Dickens. What happened next is history.

Book Synopsis Dear Mr. Longfellow by : Sydelle Pearl
Download or read book Dear Mr. Longfellow written by Sydelle Pearl and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2012-11-20 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you were attending school in the late-nineteenth century, it's very likely that your teacher would have taught you to memorize lines from "The Village Blacksmith" by renowned poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. And on the classroom wall you'd probably see his portrait looking down benignly on you and your classmates. Longfellow was so famous and beloved by youth in this era that he was known as "the children's poet." Students not only memorized his poetry but sent him hundreds of letters. In this charming biography, storyteller and author Sydelle Pearlrecounts the life of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow by drawing upon the letters he received from his young admirers. In their letters, children from yesteryear reveal details about their lives that reach across the years to young people today. The letters also highlight the unique, close relationship that children shared with Longfellow. A girl from West Virginia writes, "Thank you so much for writing for children.... It makes us feel that we are not forgotten." Others ask him about what he did as a boy or a young man. In one extraordinary gesture of friendship, the schoolchildren of Cambridge celebrated his birthday by presenting him with a chair created from the wood of the "spreading chestnut tree" made famous in his poem "The Village Blacksmith." Longfellow dedicated his poem "From My Arm-Chair" to these thoughtful children. Complete with selected poems and photographs of the poet and his family, Dear Mr. Longfellow brings to life a famous figure of American literature and a distant, simpler age in the history of our country.
Book Synopsis The Eritrean Letter Writers by : Stephany Evans Steggall
Download or read book The Eritrean Letter Writers written by Stephany Evans Steggall and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-14 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The letter writers were armed according to their rank: guns, scalpels, pens, purses, and voices. They had loyally followed The Leader for thirty years, until now. Among them were the usual biblical disciples - the forthright, the doubtful, the peaceful, the fearful, and the traitorous. They once had faith in The Leader who delivered independence and now withheld it. The Letter Writers are Eritrean men and women, the G-13, who met to discuss their concerns about Isaias Afwerki, once regarded as the world's most successful rebel commander and hailed by Bill Clinton as an African 'renaissance leader'. The letter they composed (the Berlin Manifesto) and the book about it explore the theme of misplaced loyalties in one man; misguided trust in flawed leadership. Power can do strange things to people: the Eritrean leader was assiduously cultivating a personality cult. The letter writers conclude that the leader in whom they invested so much faith and in whose devastating defeats and liberating triumphs they shared, had become just another African tyrant. Another theme is the ageless curse of modern African history: the freedom fighters won the wars, so why could they not win the peace? The plague of abused power in newly independent countries in postcolonial Africa destroys the democratic process. Why were the inventiveness and heroic valour of the Eritreans not enough to free their country? Eritrea has received little media attention or recognition. 'Small, self-made, independent', as Reesom Haile, the narrator of the book, puts it, the country was largely ignored during its fabled Armed Struggle against Ethiopia. The theme of global isolation and neglect is part of the book, while also delving into earlier colonial exploitation. Any university offering courses in African Studies or African Literature shall be interested in this book; very little has been written in narrative nonfiction in the West about Eritrea.
