During their carousel, the Cossack reveals that he has sold his soul to the devil, and if he were a true friend, he would promise to stay up and watch over him that night so that he would be safe.

This book was released on 2024-01-13 with total page 866 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'The Complete Short Stories of Katherine Mansfield (Literature Classics Series)', Mansfield showcases her mastery of the modernist short story form, with delicate prose and keen observation of human emotions. Through her stories, Mansfield explores themes of societal norms, gender roles, and the complexities of human relationships, making her a key figure in 20th-century literature. Her use of stream-of-consciousness and vivid imagery adds depth to her characters and settings, creating a compelling and thought-provoking reading experience. The collection offers a glimpse into the author's life and the changing social landscape of the early 1900s. Katherine Mansfield's own experiences of loss, illness, and exile greatly influenced her writing and the themes she explored in her works. Her unique perspective as an expatriate and her keen observation of human behavior set her stories apart and have solidified her place in literary history. The collection of her complete short stories serves as a testament to her talent and ability to capture the complexities of the human experience. I highly recommend 'The Complete Short Stories of Katherine Mansfield' to readers who appreciate nuanced character studies, evocative language, and introspective storytelling. Mansfield's works are a must-read for those interested in modernist literature and the exploration of human emotions in a changing world.

Download or read book Short Letter, Long Farewell written by Peter Handke and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 1974 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short Letter, Long Farewell is one the most inventive and exhilarating of the great Peter Handke's novels. Full of seedy noir atmospherics and boasting an air of generalized delirium, the book starts by introducing us to a nameless young German who has just arrived in America, where he hopes to get over the collapse of his marriage. No sooner has he arrived, however, than he discovers that his ex-wife is pursuing him. He flees, she follows, and soon the couple is running circles around each other across the length of America---from Philadelphia to St. Louis to the Arizona desert, and from Portland, Oregon, to L.A. Is it love or vengeance that they want from each other? Everything's spectacularly unclear in a book that is travelogue, suspense story, domestic comedy, and Western showdown, with a totally unexpected Hollywood twist at the end. Above all, Short Letter, Long Farewell is a love letter to America, its landscapes and popular culture, the invitation and the threat of its newness and wildness and emptiness, with the promise of a new life---or the corpse of an old one---lying just around the corner.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • WINNER OF THE PEN/FAULKNER AWARD • The Pulitzer Prize–winning author of American Pastoral delivers “a master novelist's haunting parable about our troubled modern moment" (The Wall Street Journal). It is 1998, the year in which America is whipped into a frenzy of prurience by the impeachment of a president, and in a small New England town, an aging classics professor, Coleman Silk, is forced to retire when his colleagues decree that he is a racist. The charge is a lie, but the real truth about Silk would have astonished even his most virulent accuser. Coleman Silk has a secret, one which has been kept for fifty years from his wife, his four children, his colleagues, and his friends, including the writer Nathan Zuckerman. It is Zuckerman who stumbles upon Silk's secret and sets out to reconstruct the unknown biography of this eminent, upright man, esteemed as an educator for nearly all his life, and to understand how this ingeniously contrived life came unraveled. And to understand also how Silk's astonishing private history is, in the words of The Wall Street Journal, "magnificently" interwoven with "the larger public history of modern America."

Download or read book Kabbalah and Literature written by Kitty Millet and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focuses on a range of Jewish and non-Jewish writers to examine the intersection of Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical tradition, and secular Jewish literatures. Kabbalah and Literature shows how the Jewish mystical tradition contributes to the renewal of literature in a modern, global, and increasingly disconnected age. Kitty Millet explores Kabbalah's conceptual underpinnings, aesthetic principles, tenets, and signifiers to demonstrate how literature's absorption of kabbalistic material has altered its ontology, function, and the tasks it sets for itself. Reading writers from Europe and the Americas, Kitty Millet maps how the kabbalist's desire to "recover Eden" transforms into a latent messianic drive only intuitable through text. Thus it charts a journey of sorts, a migration of Jewish mystical material embedded surreptitiously within text in order to shift ever so slightly at times the range of the literary to encompass an aesthetic vision not easily reducible to the literal, the known, the allegorical, or even the philosophical. In this way, Kabbalah and Literature proposes a novel, intuitive approach, shifting focus away from the Jewish text's epistemological elements to embrace its "secrets."

Kathleen Mansfield Murry (1888–1923) was a prominent New Zealand modernist short story writer who wrote under the pen name of Katherine Mansfield. At 19, Mansfield left New Zealand and settled in the United Kingdom, where she became a friend of modernist writers such as D.H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf. Like Woolf, Mansfield was also interested in the feelings and thoughts of her characters rather than plot development and hence her short stories show the complexities of a character's in
