Download or read book Shenandoah written by Sue Eisenfeld and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2015-02 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fifteen years Sue Eisenfeld hiked in Shenandoah National Park in the Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, unaware of the tragic history behind the creation of the park. In this travel narrative, she tells the story of her on-the-ground discovery of the relics and memories a few thousand mountain residents left behind when the government used eminent domain to kick the people off their land to create the park. With historic maps and notes from hikers who explored before her, Eisenfeld and her husband hike, backpack, and bushwhack the hills and the hollows of this beloved but misbegotten place, searching for stories. Descendants recount memories of their ancestors “grieving themselves to death,” and they continue to speak of their people’s displacement from the land as an untold national tragedy. Shenandoah: A Story of Conservation and Betrayal is Eisenfeld’s personal journey into the park’s hidden past based on her off-trail explorations. She describes the turmoil of residents’ removal as well as the human face of the government officials behind the formation of the park. In this conflict between conservation for the benefit of a nation and private land ownership, she explores her own complicated personal relationship with the park—a relationship she would not have without the heartbreak of the thousands of people removed from their homes.

Book Synopsis The Stuff of Our Forebears by : Joyce McDonald
Download or read book The Stuff of Our Forebears written by Joyce McDonald and published by University Alabama Press. This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connecting Cather's work to the southern literary tradition and the South of her youth A diverse and experimental writer who lived most of her life in New York City, Willa Cather is best known for her depiction of pioneer life on the Nebraska plains. Despite Cather's association with Nebraska, however, the novelist's Virginia childhood and her southern family were deeply influential in shaping her literary imagination. Joyce McDonald shows evidence, for example, of Cather's southern sensibility in the class consciousness and aesthetic values of her characters and in their sense of place and desire for historical continuity, a sensibility also evident in her narrative technique of weaving stories within stories and in her use of folklore. For McDonald, however, what most links Cather and her work to the South and to the southern literary tradition is her use of pastoral modes. Beginning with an examination of Cather's Virginia childhood and the southern influences that continued to mold her during the Nebraska years, McDonald traces the effects of those influences in Cather's novels. The patterns that emerge reveal not only Cather's strong ideological connection to the pastoral but also the political position implicit in her choice of that particular mode. Further analysis of Cather's work reveals her preoccupation with hierarchical constructs and with the use and abuse of power and her interest in order, control, and possession. The Willa Cather who emerges from the pages of The Stuff of Our Forebears is not the Cather who claimed to eschew politics but a far more political novelist than has heretofore been perceived.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A few days before Christmas in 1969, handsome Tony Bettellini, an Irish-Italian ex-waiter, gets sentenced to life imprisonment for a murder he didn’t commit, narrowly beating the death penalty. He has a baptism of fire when he arrives in Sing Sing Prison in up-state New York and finds himself called to reckoning to the office of Warden Wallace, known as ‘The Ambassador’, who runs his prison with an iron fist. Wallace soon becomes a dangerous enemy, as does, over the years, Gus Jablonsky, the psychopathic convict chef, who runs the prison kitchen, where Tony is given a job. Tony becomes a leader in the prison, fighting for the rights of the subjugated cons, who are at the mercy of Wallace’s goon squad in his corrupt and cruel domain. Will justice finally prevail, and Tony get see free, or is he doomed to become a vegetable on the Hospital Third Floor, or end up in an unmarked grave in Sing Sing’s convict graveyard? Beautiful Veronica Idlewilde, Tony’s famous model socialite girlfriend, heiress to a vast fortune, sticks by him loyally throughout the years of his unjust incarceration, but he still dreams of Shenandoah Buchanan, the girl from Virginia, he fell madly in love with years before. After meeting again at Tony’s trial, Shenandoah and Sonny Gracia, Tony’s best friend, become close friends. Sonny is deeply in love with her, but she still hankers after Tony, her lost love, who sends her away from Sing Sing when she visits him and tells her to never come back. Many turbulent years pass before Shenandoah realizes she loves Sonny, too. But nothing is as simple as it seems, and the lives of these four people are fatefully intertwined. Set in New York, Virginia, and Sing Sing, this magnificent story, about the triumph of the human spirit over great adversity, love, hate, revenge and salvation, will make you laugh, weep for joy and weep with sorrow. Another unforgettable epic story by Brenda George that begs to be put on the big screen!
Download or read book Hold Still written by Sally Mann and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2015-05-12 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This National Book Award finalist is a revealing and beautifully written memoir and family history from acclaimed photographer Sally Mann. In this groundbreaking book, a unique interplay of narrative and image, Mann's preoccupation with family, race, mortality, and the storied landscape of the American South are revealed as almost genetically predetermined, written into her DNA by the family history that precedes her. Sorting through boxes of family papers and yellowed photographs she finds more than she bargained for: "deceit and scandal, alcohol, domestic abuse, car crashes, bogeymen, clandestine affairs, dearly loved and disputed family land . . . racial complications, vast sums of money made and lost, the return of the prodigal son, and maybe even bloody murder." In lyrical prose and startlingly revealing photographs, she crafts a totally original form of personal history that has the page-turning drama of a great novel but is firmly rooted in the fertile soil of her own life.
