Book Synopsis The Lay of the Land by : Richard Ford
Download or read book The Lay of the Land written by Richard Ford and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2011-01-14 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With The Sportswriter, in 1985, Richard Ford began a cycle of novels that ten years later – after Independence Day won both the Pulitzer Prize and the PEN/Faulkner Award – was hailed by The Times of London as “an extraordinary epic [that] is nothing less than the story of the twentieth century itself.” Frank Bascombe’s story resumes, in the fall of 2000, with the presidential election still hanging in the balance and Thanksgiving looming before him with all the perils of a post-nuclear family get-together. He’s now plying his trade as a realtor on the Jersey shore and contending with health, marital and familial issues that have his full attention: “all the ways that life seems like life at age fifty-five strewn around me like poppies.” Richard Ford’s first novel in over a decade: the funniest, most engaging (and explosive) book he’s written, and a major literary event.
Book Synopsis The World at Noon by : Eugene Mirabelli
Download or read book The World at Noon written by Eugene Mirabelli and published by Guernica Editions. This book was released on 1994 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This novel is about Nicolo, who sets out to visit his ailing mother, sees his father (dead these past three years), has lunch with his daughter and falls in love with his daughter's friend, Roxane. It is also about Nicolo's handsome wife, Maeve, a strong woman with her own interests, including a romance she embarks on for comic relief. The story takes place against a background that includes Nicolo's youthful affair with his Aunt Regina, which in turn calls up old family legends about the great grandfather who was born with the flanks and hindquarters of a horse, and the great grandmother from the bordello, a woman so beautiful her looks could stun. But throughout all this, the drama focuses on Nicolo and Maeve and their children as the family unravels one way and knits up another. The World at Noon is a novel where everyday events, mingle with ancestral myths, a book that cascades from generation to generation and from the warm waters of the Mediterranean to the snowy fields of New England.

Book Synopsis The Bascombe Novels by : Richard Ford
Download or read book The Bascombe Novels written by Richard Ford and published by Everyman's Library. This book was released on 2009-04-14 with total page 1354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A trilogy of brilliant novels—The Sportswriter, Independence Day, and The Lay of the Land—that charts the life and times of one of the most beloved and enduring characters in modern fiction. When we meet Frank Bascombe in The Sportswriter, his unguarded voice instantly wins us over and pulls us into a life that has been irrevocably changed—by the loss of a marriage, a career, a child. We then follow Frank, ever laconic and observant, through Independence Day and The Lay of the Land, witnessing his fortune’s rise and his family’s fragmentation. With finely honed prose and an eye that captures the most subtle nuances of the human condition—all its pathos and beauty and strangeness—Ford transforms this ordinary man’s life into a riveting, moving parable of life in America today.
Download or read book Adolph Sutro written by William R. Huber and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-04-02 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolph Sutro was forever seeking challenges. Emigrating from Prussia to the U.S. at age 20, the California gold rush lured him west. At the Comstock Lode in Nevada, he conceived an idea for a tunnel to drain the hot water that made the mines perilous and inefficient. But he would have to overcome both physical obstacles and powerful opposition by the Bank of California to realize his vision. Back in San Francisco, Sutro bought one twelfth of the city, including the famous Cliff House perched over the Pacific Ocean. When it burned to cinders on Christmas Day, 1894, he built a massive, eight-story Victorian replacement. He used his expertise in tunneling and water solutions to create the world's largest enclosed swimming structure, the Sutro Baths--six glass-covered heated saltwater pools with capacity of 1,000 swimmers. Other challenges followed but Sutro was not invincible. After a two-year term as mayor of San Francisco, he succumbed to debilitating strokes which left him senile. His death in 1898 started disputes among his heirs--six children by his wife and two by his mistress--that lasted more than a decade.

Book Synopsis Heart of Darkness (Unabridged Deluxe Edition) by : Joseph Conrad
Download or read book Heart of Darkness (Unabridged Deluxe Edition) written by Joseph Conrad and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "Heart of Darkness (Unabridged Deluxe Edition)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Heart of Darkness (1899) is a classic of world literature. The book tells a story about a voyage up the Congo River into the Congo Free State, in the heart of Africa. Marlow, the story's narrator, tells his story to friends aboard a boat anchored on the River Thames, London, England. This setting provides the frame for Marlow's story of his obsession with the ivory trader Kurtz, which enables Conrad to create a parallel between London and Africa as places of darkness. Central to Conrad's work is the idea that there is little difference between so-called civilized people and those described as savages; Heart of Darkness raises important questions about imperialism and racism. Joseph Conrad acknowledged that Heart of Darkness was in part based on his own experiences during his travels in Africa. In 1890, at the age of 32, he was appointed by a Belgian trading company to serve as the captain of a steamer on the Congo River. Joseph Conrad (1857-1924), was a Polish author who wrote in English after settling in England. Conrad is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English, though he did not speak the language fluently until he was in his twenties. He wrote stories and novels, often with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit in the midst of an indifferent universe. He was a master prose stylist who brought a distinctly non-English tragic sensibility into English literature.
