Download or read book The Best Adirondack Stories of Philander Deming written by Philander Deming and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1997-03-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In simple, darkly faceted stories, Philander Deming writes as a person whose childhood knowledge of the Adirondacks has been honed to a fine sense for its potential human tragedy. In this, the first collection of his best work, a haunting vision of the Adirondacks comes through that is hard to forget. Deming's themes revolve around deception and self-deception, loneliness, and good intentions gone awry. Most of his stories occur just before or after the Civil War. In almost every story, however, Deming shows his characters looking back towards the mountains, from the Mohawk or St. Lawrence Valley or from lonely settlements on the edge of the forest, or across Lake Champlain. Few Adirondack writers have been so convincing in conveying the keen isolation of life in the northern forest and its peculiar effects on the human mind. The wilderness community is cruel, fostered by ignorance and isolation. In the end, the mountains, seemingly a neutral back drop against which individuals confront a collective morality, are the real source of his inspiration.

Book Synopsis The Adirondack Tales of Philander Deming by : Lois Shirley Crayton
Download or read book The Adirondack Tales of Philander Deming written by Lois Shirley Crayton and published by Xlibris. This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philander Deming (1826-1915) was one of the great practitioners of the "local color" short story. Using his own experiences in the Adirondack region as the "real" basis for his stories, he developed a strikingly unique blend of realism and craftsmanship in his work. In Lois Shirley Crayton's study, she shows how Deming utilized these true incidents in his work sometimes to the embarrassment of the individuals involved. Deming was a keen observer of life in upstate New York, and in his job as a court stenographer, he kept a ready ear to the story possibilities of the trials he attended. Utilizing unpublished letters of Deming to his sister and first-person accounts of Deming from individuals who knew him, Crayton creates a portrait of Deming that is more complete and more complex than has ever appeared before. Deming's fascination with particular incidences in the life of the region, such as the introduction of the Rural Free Delivery system, are not only fascinating in what they tell us about the man, but also reveal much about life in the Adirondack region at the end of the Nineteenth Century. With renewed interest in the "local color" genre in general, and renewed interest in Deming in particular much of his work has been or will shortly be published by Syracuse University Press readers will find a wealth of information to enrich their reading of Deming in this study.

Download or read book Mount Allegro written by Jerre Mangione and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1998-03-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mount Allegro is an extraordinary memoir, a celebration of Sicilian life, an engaging sociological portrait, a moving reminiscence of a fledgling writer’s escape from the restrictive culture in which he grew up. Jerre Mangione’s autobiographical chronicle of his youth in a Sicilian community in Rochester is one of the truly enduring books about the immigrant experience in this country. Family squabbles, soul-nourishing food, and the casting of evil eyes are only some of the ingredients of this richly textured book, although they must all take second place to its unforgettable characters. As Eugene Paul Nassar writes in the book’s Foreword, “Mount Allegro . . . gave a literary visibility and identity, amiable and appealing, to a poorly understood ethnic group in America, and did so at a very high level of artistry.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1908, a very public crusade against opium was in full swing throughout China, and the provincial capital and treaty port of Fuzhou was a central stage for the campaign. This, the most successful attempt undertaken by the Chinese state before 1949 to eliminate opium, came at a time when, according to many historians, China’s central state was virtually powerless. This volume attempts to reconcile that apparent contradiction.The remarkable, albeit temporary, success of the anti-opium campaign between 1906 and 1920 is as yet largely unexplained. How these results were achieved, how that progress was squandered, and why China’s opium problem proved so tenacious are the questions that inspired this volume. The attack on this social problem was led by China’s central and provincial authorities, aided by reformist elites, and seemingly supported by most Chinese. The anti-opium movement relied on the control and oversight provided by a multilayered state bureaucracy, the activism and support of unofficial elite-led reform groups, the broad nationalistic and humanitarian appeal of the campaign, and the cooperation of the British government. The extent to which the Chinese state was able to control the pace and direction of the anti-opium campaign and the evolving nature of the political space in which elite reformers publicized and enforced that campaign are the guiding themes of this analysis."
