Book Synopsis Can We Talk and Other Stories by : Shimmer Chinodya
Download or read book Can We Talk and Other Stories written by Shimmer Chinodya and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2017-12-29 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shimmer Chinodya, winner of the 1989 Commonwealth Writers Prize (Africa region) is one of Zimbabwe's foremost fiction writers. This collection of short stories reveals his development as a writer of passionate questioning integrity. The first stories, 'Hoffman Street' and 'The Man who Hanged Himself' capture the bewildered innocence of a child's view of the adult world, where behaviour is often puzzling and contradictory; stories such as 'Going to See Mr B.V.' provide the transition between the world of the adult and that of the child where the latter is required to act for himself in a situation where illusions founder on a narrow reality. 'Among the Dead' and 'Brothers and Sisters' look wryly at the self-conscious, self-centred, desperately serious world of young adulthood while 'Playing your Cards', 'The Waterfall', 'Strays' and 'Bramson' introduce characters for whom ambition, disillusion, and disappointment jostle for attention in a world where differences of class, culture, race and morality come to the fore. Finally, in 'Can we Talk' we conclude with an abrasive, lucid, sinewy voice which explores the nature of estrangement. The charge is desolation. Can we Talk and Other Stories speaks of the unspoken and unsaid. The child who watches but does not understand, the young man who observes but cannot participate, the man who stands outside not sure where his desires and ambitions lead, the older man, estranged by his own choices. 'Can we Talk' is not a question but a statement that insists on being heard, and demands a reassessment of our dreams.

This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 'The Diary of a Superfluous Man;'" says one well-known Russian critic; "we have to deal with the end of the pathological process upon the body of Russian society. In Turgénieff's productions which followed it we have to deal with a crisis in Russian life; with the growth of a new order of things. Apart from the fundamental profundity of its tendency; the 'Diary' is extremely noteworthy for its artistic workmanship. In spite of a certain monotony of tone in its exposition; it produces a very strong impression by its abundance of poetical beauties; which are perfectly suited to the melancholy mood of the whole story... In creating his 'Superfluous Man' the author; evidently; aimed at making as powerful an impression as possible; and therefore employed the most brilliant pigments in depicting Tchulkatúrin. He attained his object. Russian society started back in horror at this portrait of itself; which was somewhat distorted yet a good likeness; and in its strong excitement vigorously repelled all community with the sickly figure of Tchulkatúrin. This horror showed that the time was ripe in Russian society for a different order of things; that it was tired of inertness and was seeking a wider field of activity in which it might freely develop its real forces."

Download or read book The Hanged Man written by Robert Bartlett and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-17 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seven hundred years ago, executioners led a Welsh rebel named William Cragh to a wintry hill to be hanged. They placed a noose around his neck, dropped him from the gallows, and later pronounced him dead. But was he dead? While no less than nine eyewitnesses attested to his demise, Cragh later proved to be very much alive, his resurrection attributed to the saintly entreaties of the defunct Bishop Thomas de Cantilupe. The Hanged Man tells the story of this putative miracle--why it happened, what it meant, and how we know about it. The nine eyewitness accounts live on in the transcripts of de Cantilupe's canonization hearings, and these previously unexamined documents contribute not only to an enthralling mystery, but to an unprecedented glimpse into the day-to-day workings of medieval society. While unraveling the haunting tale of the hanged man, Robert Bartlett leads us deeply into the world of lords, rebels, churchmen, papal inquisitors, and other individuals living at the time of conflict and conquest in Wales. In the process, he reconstructs voices that others have failed to find. We hear from the lady of the castle where the hanged man was imprisoned, the laborer who watched the execution, the French bishop charged with investigating the case, and scores of other members of the medieval citizenry. Brimming with the intrigue of a detective novel, The Hanged Man will appeal to both scholars of medieval history and general readers alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of very early stories published posthumously, with a preface by his wife Charmian. DUTCH COURAGE (excerpt) ""Just our luck!"" Gus Lafee finished wiping his hands and sullenly threw the towel upon the rocks. His attitude was one of deep dejection. The light seemed gone out of the day and the glory from the golden sun. Even the keen mountain air was devoid of relish, and the early morning no longer yielded its customary zest. ""Just our luck!"" Gus repeated, this time avowedly for the edification of another young fellow who was busily engaged in sousing his head in the water of the lake. ""What are you grumbling about, anyway?"" Hazard Van Dorn lifted a soap-rimmed face questioningly. His eyes were shut. ""What's our luck?"" ""Look there!"" Gus threw a moody glance skyward. ""Some duffer's got ahead of us. We've been scooped, that's all!""...
