Book Synopsis The Faber Book of Christmas by : Simon Rae
Download or read book The Faber Book of Christmas written by Simon Rae and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like it or loathe it, the world's greatest religious festival is far more than the traditional package (largely invented by the Victorians) of Christmas trees, cards, decorations and stockings hung out for Santa Claus. It has a long history, with roots in a variety of pagan cultures, and legends from around the world. These, with its Christian bedrock in the gospel accounts of the Nativity, are well represented in this anthology, along with accounts of Christmas spent in climatic extremes and under a wide range of circumstances. From commercial kitsch in Japan and cricketing Christmases in Australia to cannibalism on the nineteenth-century American emigrant trail and forced carol singing in a German concentration camp, Simon Rae's book is full of intriguing and challenging surprises.

Book Synopsis The Faber Book of Beasts by : Paul Muldoon
Download or read book The Faber Book of Beasts written by Paul Muldoon and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 1998 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Faber Book of Beasts is a collection of many of the best poems in English about the creatures who share our planet. The animal kingdom has prompted some of the liveliest and most enjoyable writing by poets, from Homer to our contemporaries. Among the creatures gathered here, tame or wild; common or exotic, are mammals, reptiles, birds, insects, and others perhaps more fanciful than real. A zoologist's delight.There is, too, a moral or philosophical purpose. As Paul Muldoon says in his introduction: 'We are most human in the presence of animals.' And it is just this sense of how our humanity is illuminated by the contemplation of bestial life that he has set out to celebrate. The results are wonderfully rich and thought-provoking.
