Download or read book The Book of Daniel written by E.L. Doctorow and published by Random House. This book was released on 2010-11-10 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central figure of this novel is a young man whose parents were executed for conspiring to steal atomic secrets for Russia. His name is Daniel Isaacson, and as the story opens, his parents have been dead for many years. He has had a long time to adjust to their deaths. He has not adjusted. Out of the shambles of his childhood, he has constructed a new life—marriage to an adoring girl who gives him a son of his own, and a career in scholarship. It is a life that enrages him. In the silence of the library at Columbia University, where he is supposedly writing a Ph.D. dissertation, Daniel composes something quite different. It is a confession of his most intimate relationships—with his wife, his foster parents, and his kid sister Susan, whose own radicalism so reproaches him. It is a book of memories: riding a bus with his parents to the ill-fated Paul Robeson concert in Peekskill; watching the FBI take his father away; appearing with Susan at rallies protesting their parents’ innocence; visiting his mother and father in the Death House. It is a book of investigation: transcribing Daniel’s interviews with people who knew his parents, or who knew about them; and logging his strange researches and discoveries in the library stacks. It is a book of judgments of everyone involved in the case—lawyers, police, informers, friends, and the Isaacson family itself. It is a book rich in characters, from elderly grand- mothers of immigrant culture, to covert radicals of the McCarthy era, to hippie marchers on the Pen-tagon. It is a book that spans the quarter-century of American life since World War II. It is a book about the nature of Left politics in this country—its sacrificial rites, its peculiar cruelties, its humility, its bitterness. It is a book about some of the beautiful and terrible feelings of childhood. It is about the nature of guilt and innocence, and about the relations of people to nations. It is The Book of Daniel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Sientes curiosidad por los vampiros y buscas entender a estas criaturas con mayor profundidad? ¿Te has preguntado porqué los vampiros y su mitología han sido parte importante de muchas culturas a través de los años? ¿Cómo pasaron de ser vistos cómo criaturas terroríficas a carismáticos personajes en el cine y la literatura? Entonces sigue leyendo.. “Se encuentra frente al gran misterio... Al que hace temblar a la humanidad desde su origen: lo desconocido.” - Gastón Leroux. Sin importar la fuente, la leyenda del vampiro ha impactado de gran manera nuestra cosmovisión de la muerte y lo que sucede después de ella. Podemos observar su vasta influencia en nuestra cultura, con la presencia de libros como Drácula de Bram Stoker o los libros de Anne Rice a películas como Nosferatu por el aclamado director Murnau, cuya obra ha inspirado un sinfín de filmes en la misma rama. Con la evolución literaria, la influencia científica, y la inclusión de la tecnología al mundo del arte, la imagen del alguna vez terrorífico y repugnante vampiro fue desapareciendo poco a poco, y un personaje que por muchos años se sintió como la representación gráfica del miedo fue volviéndose más amigable con la audiencia y llegando hasta el punto de ser retratado ocasionalmente cómo alguien apuesto e incluso carismático. ¿Pero cómo llegó la leyenda del vampiro a ese punto? En este libro descubrirás: -Los misteriosos orígenes del mito de los vampiros. -Quién fue Drácula y otros personajes esenciales de la mitología. -Las primeras leyendas que dieron forma a los vampiros -Las piezas literarias más importantes que moldearon nuestra visión de estas criaturas. -Porqué el vampiro es tan reconocido hoy en día en la cultura popular. -Y mucho más.. Descubre como el vampiro, y en especial su estilo de vida, surgió como una revolución a una sociedad evangelizada y temerosa del infierno, y como aquellos que no encajaban en las normas convencionales religiosas lo usaron como símbolo para sobresalir en las artes e inspirar a otros a cuestionar el estatus quo de la sociedad.

Book excerpt: Tres siglos después de que un brote vampírico aterrorizara a la Europa central y dos siglos después de que el The Vampyre de Polidori irrumpiera en la escena literaria, llega esta nueva historia acerca del vampiro, que rastrea sus orígenes hasta un momento y un lugar: 1725, en las fronteras orientales del Imperio de los Habsburgo. Una serie de terroríficos acontecimientos sobrenaturales captó la atención de doctores, científicos y teólogos de todo el continente, que cristalizó en el choque entre la naciente racionalidad de la Ilustración y el folclore tradicional de los Balcanes. La investigación que derivó de esos hechos fue un tema de fascinación popular, mucho antes incluso de que poetas y escritores fueran también presas de una "vampiromanía" que alcanzó su punto álgido en 1897 con el Drácula de Bram Stoker. En esta nueva historia en torno al vampiro, Nick Groom, profesor de literatura inglesa en las universidades de Exeter y Macau y experto en literatura gótica, desentierra la compleja historia de una criatura de ficción devenida en icono, desde los tempranos intentos médicos por sustanciar la leyenda, a las supersticiones de la sangre y el cuerpo, las fuentes sobre Drácula o su relevancia en la cultura popular contemporánea. En este fascinante trayecto, Groom demuestra que el vampiro ha servido siempre para desafiar los convencionalismos, y es por ello por lo que en el presente se erige en un antihéroe esgrimido por los marginados y excluidos. ¿Criatura de ficción, hemos dicho?

Book excerpt: This delightfully unusual book by H. G. Wells is a comprehensive guide to Little War, a game invented by Wells for "boys from twelve to one hundred and fifty years old and for that more intelligent sort of girls who like boys' games and books". A fascinating look at a bygone era, when boys were boys, and most girls (except the more intelligent ones) were girls. With a history of Little War, detailed instructions to playing it, a description of an exemplary game, extensions and amplifications to the game, and a final challenge by the author to his young readers. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Book excerpt: La muestra constituye una suerte de panorama que gira en torno a una selección de obras de los años 70 y 80 hasta la actualidad, cuyo denominador común es la TV, foco del análisis crítico de los mass-media o "el paisaje de los media", como lo denomina Muntadas: el concepto que subyace en todas las obras es el origen de una genealogía de los "mecanismos invisibles". Muntadas indaga en el espacio de la comunicación, lo social y lo político, intrínsecamente relacionados con la intersección público/privado desde el análisis de contextos y de la arquitectura.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memory and mourning in Colombia. This book provides the first in-depth examination of a representative range of contemporary Colombian cultural engagements with the conflicts known simply as La Violencia that began in Colombia in the late 1940s. These include Gustavo Alvarez Gardeazábal's now classic revision of the 'novela de la Violencia', the autobiographical cycle of acclaimed author Fernando Vallejo, versions of the testimonio by Alfredo Molano and internationally renowned novelist Laura Restrepo, as well as cinematic works by Carlos Mayolo and Luis Ospina. These cultural icons, many of whom are remarkably understudied, show how the heterogeneity of social and cultural processes condensed in La Violencia demands a deconstruction of 'violence' in Colombian culture. This argument is developed in dialogue with European and Latin American cultural theory and contributes to theoretical debates surrounding issues of memory and mourning developed in other Latin American contexts. The narratives explored in this book provide alternatives to abstract historicism and show us how to imagine ways out of deeply rooted cycles of violence. Yet their insistence on haunting and spectres signals the problems besetting the task of mourning in Colombia, positing history rather than psychology as a remainder that troubles efforts to forge collective memories and enact social reconciliation. RORY O'BRYEN lectures in Latin American literature and culture at the University of Cambridge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gnosis means knowledge. But we are not referring to just any knowledge. Gnosis is knowledge which produces a great transformation in those who receive it. Knowledge capable of nothing less than waking up man and helping him to escape from the prison in which he finds himself. That is why Gnosis has been so persecuted throughout the course of history, because it is knowledge considered dangerous for the religious and political authorities who govern mankind from the shadows. Every time this religion, absolutely different from the rest, appears before man, the other religions unite to try to destroy or hide it again. Primordial Gnosis is the original Gnosis, true Gnosis, eternal Gnosis, Gnostic knowledge in its pure form. Due to multiple persecutions, Primordial Gnosis has been fragmented, distorted and hidden.

Book excerpt: "Substantially the book that devotees of the director have been waiting for: a full-length critical work about Ozu's life, career and working methods, buttressed with reproductions of pages from his notebooks and shooting scripts, numerous quotes from co-workers and Japanese critics, a great many stills and an unusually detailed filmography."—Sight and Sound Yasujiro Ozu, the man whom his kinsmen consider the most Japanese for all film directors, had but one major subject, the Japanese family, and but one major theme, its dissolution. The Japanese family in dissolution figures in every one of his fifty-three films. In his later pictures, the whole world exists in one family, the characters are family members rather than members of a society, and the ends of the earth seem no more distant than the outside of the house.

Book excerpt: »The Canterville Ghost« is a short story by Oscar Wilde, originally published in 1891. OSCAR WILDE, born in 1854 in Dublin, died in 1900 in Paris, was an Irish prose writer, playwright, essayist, and poet. Wilde's significance as a symbol for persecuted homosexuals around the world is immeasurable. Wilde himself was sentenced to prison and hard labour, his works were boycotted, theatrical productions were shut down, and he was publicly vilified. The Picture of Dorian Gray [1890] is his most famous work.
