Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poets and Peoples of Foreign Lands Such is Spain, of whose folk-poetry the first paper in this volume treats. Such, too, were the Moors, of whose poetry the Spanish is but a fainter echo. While cases like these are exceptional, every people, however humble or obscure, who are bound to gether by a common tongue (though it be but a patoz's), a common origin, and common interests, can boast of a poet among themselves who has sung their local ballads and traditions, and thrown a halo of poetry round the simple pleasures and sorrows, fears and aspirations, that make up the drama of their life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * 2022 Young Lions Fiction Award, Winner. * A BookBrowse "20 Best Books of 2022" * VCU Cabell First Novelist Award, Longlist. * An ABA "Indie Next List" pick for November 2021. * "A Best Book of 2021" —New York Public Library, Cosmopolitan, Independent Book Review * "October 2021 Must-Reads" —Debutiful, The Chicago Review of Books, The Millions In 1913, a Russian ballet incited a riot in Paris at the new Théâtre de Champs-Elysées. “Only a Russian could do that," says Aleksandr Ivanovich. “Only a Russian could make the whole world go mad.” A century later, in November 2013, thousands of Ukrainian citizens gathered at Independence Square in Kyiv to protest then-President Yanukovych’s failure to sign a referendum with the European Union, opting instead to forge a closer alliance with President Vladimir Putin and Russia. The peaceful protests turned violent when military police shot live ammunition into the crowd, killing over a hundred civilians. I Will Die in a Foreign Land follows four individuals over the course of a volatile Ukrainian winter, as their lives are forever changed by the Euromaidan protests. Katya is an Ukrainian-American doctor stationed at a makeshift medical clinic in St. Michael’s Monastery; Misha is an engineer originally from Pripyat, who has lived in Kyiv since his wife’s death; Slava is a fiery young activist whose past hardships steel her determination in the face of persecution; and Aleksandr Ivanovich, a former KGB agent, who climbs atop a burned-out police bus at Independence Square and plays the piano. As Katya, Misha, Slava, and Aleksandr’s lives become intertwined, they each seek their own solace during an especially tumultuous and violent period. The story is also told by a chorus of voices that incorporates folklore and narrates a turbulent Slavic history. While unfolding an especially moving story of quiet beauty and love in a time of terror, I Will Die in a Foreign Land is an ambitious, intimate, and haunting portrait of human perseverance and empathy. "Kalani Pickhart's timely debut novel, I Will Die In a Foreign Land, is about the 2014 Ukrainian revolution which provided a pretense for Russia to annex Crimea. The story follows the experiences of several characters whose lives intersect as the country's political situation deteriorates. There's a Ukrainian-American doctor, an old KGB spy, a former mine worker, and others, and these episodes are interspersed with folk songs, news reports and historical notes. The effect—kaleidoscopic but never confusing—provides an intimate sense of a country convulsing, mourning, and somehow surviving." —CBS News, "The Book Report: Recommendations from Washington Post critic Ron Charles" (Watch the full video on CBS News, February 6, 2022).

Download or read book Lands and Peoples in Roman Poetry written by Richard F. Thomas and published by Cambridge Philological Society. This book was released on 2020-08-30 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fixed in diction and form, the tradition of ethnographical prose extends from fifth-century Greece through all of Latin literature. Issues such as situation, climate and fertility have a direct effect on the social and ethical status of a land's inhabitants, and it is this uniformity of purpose that motivates the strictly formulaic nature of ethnographical texts. In this volume, Professor Thomas examines the influence of that tradition on the poetry of Virgil, Horace and Lucan. At their hands it emerges as a vehicle for the expression of attitudes not only towards civilized Italian society, but also to landscapes and environments which are largely their own poetic creations, and which are to be viewed in contrast to the world of Rome. The work concludes with an examination of Tacitus' place both in the acknowledged prose tradition, and in the more allusive poetic tradition which this study has detected.

Download or read book In Case of Fire in a Foreign Land written by Ariel Dorfman and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2002-09-03 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the world of Chilean poet Ariel Dorfman, men and women can be forced to choose between leaving their country or dying for it. The living risk losing everything, but what they hold onto—love, faith, hope, truth—might change the world. It is this subversive possibility that speaks through these poems. A succession of voices—exiles, activists, separated lovers, the families of those victimized by political violence—gives an account of ruptured safety. They bear witness to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of personal and social damage in the aftermath of terror. The first bilingual edition of Dorfman’s work, In Case of Fire in a Foreign Land includes ten new poems and a new preface, and brings back into print the classic poems of the celebrated Last Waltz in Santiago. Always an eloquent voice against the ravages of inhumanity, Dorfman’s poems, like his acclaimed novels, continue to be a searing testimony of hope in the midst of despair.
