Book Synopsis Sorrow in the House of Colour by : Julius Ijemhen-Ebetaleye
Download or read book Sorrow in the House of Colour written by Julius Ijemhen-Ebetaleye and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Sorrow in the House of Colour, Julius I. Ebetaleye challenges orthodox approaches to racial integration with an honest, radical, thought-provoking story of the attempt to achieve racial harmony in an interracial relationship. The perspective from which this book is written is unusual and as such the ideas expressed are particularly important. Even those who lay claim to metaphorical 'colour blindness' will find this original work an eye-opener. This book, Sorrow in the House of Colour, is based on a true-life story stemming from the intimate experience of the principal character. The objective again is to, amongst other things, bring to focus the diversity of humanity, especially in regard to the black and white racial divide with a view to sensitizing both races to identify a common basis for mutual co-existence in order to make the world a better place to live in. This is against the background of an increasing globalisation of the various facets of human endeavours whereby as they say, the world is becoming one big village, thus making sustainable mutually beneficial inter-relationship inevitable. Therefore, the earlier our our respective prejudices and mind sets are de-emphasized for those features typifying the commonality of humans, the better for the entire mankind. In essence the objective is to sensitize rather than criticise. The intent is to foster Harmony rather than brew Acrimony. The goal is to achieve a better World rather than build brick Walls. It is my hope that the reading public find Sorrow in the House of Colour as stimulating as it is thought-provoking and relevant message, a richly-textured piece of writing that skilfully manages to be at price inclusive, thought-provoking and highly readable. It is a significant, by which I mean that it has relevance to the reader on a number of levels, which is itself sure testimony to the author's creative versatility. It is a book which abounds with a wealth of perceptively observed detail, obviously the product of real experience, which lends to the book a poignant, sometimes quite gritty reality, a dramatic immediacy, which is one of its key strengths. The characters, situations and dialogue are relayed in vivid and lively detail which makes each moment seem entirely authentic. As a result, the reader is effortlessly drawn into the fabric of this sotry, experiencing it as his or her own reality. The structure of the book is an accomplished device in itself, patiently built and sparingly meted out with an eye on the necessities of tension, pace, climax and anti-climax. May I entreat you to avail yourselves of this publication and recommend same to a friend.

Book Synopsis The Seven Basic Plots by : Christopher Booker
Download or read book The Seven Basic Plots written by Christopher Booker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2005-11-11 with total page 737 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This remarkable and monumental book at last provides a comprehensive answer to the age-old riddle of whether there are only a small number of 'basic stories' in the world. Using a wealth of examples, from ancient myths and folk tales via the plays and novels of great literature to the popular movies and TV soap operas of today, it shows that there are seven archetypal themes which recur throughout every kind of storytelling. But this is only the prelude to an investigation into how and why we are 'programmed' to imagine stories in these ways, and how they relate to the inmost patterns of human psychology. Drawing on a vast array of examples, from Proust to detective stories, from the Marquis de Sade to E.T., Christopher Booker then leads us through the extraordinary changes in the nature of storytelling over the past 200 years, and why so many stories have 'lost the plot' by losing touch with their underlying archetypal purpose. Booker analyses why evolution has given us the need to tell stories and illustrates how storytelling has provided a uniquely revealing mirror to mankind's psychological development over the past 5000 years. This seminal book opens up in an entirely new way our understanding of the real purpose storytelling plays in our lives, and will be a talking point for years to come.

Book Synopsis The Virgin Warrior by : Larissa Juliet Taylor
Download or read book The Virgin Warrior written by Larissa Juliet Taylor and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-06 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A fresh and provocative biography of La Pucelle . . . her transformation from a naive girl to a strong-willed, bold, and gifted captain of war.”—Frederic J. Baumgartner, author of France in the Sixteenth Century France’s great heroine and England’s great scourge: whether a lunatic, a witch, a religious icon, or a skilled soldier and leader, Joan of Arc’s contemporaries found her as extraordinary and fascinating as the legends that abound about her today. But her life has been so endlessly cast and recast that we have lost sight of the remarkable girl at the heart of it—a teenaged peasant girl who, after claiming to hear voices, convinced the French king to let her lead a disheartened army into battle. In the process she changed the course of European history. In The Virgin Warrior, Larissa Juliet Taylor paints a vivid portrait of Joan as a self-confident, charismatic and supremely determined figure, whose sheer force of will electrified those around her and struck terror into the hearts of the English soldiers and leaders. The drama of Joan’s life is set against a world where visions and witchcraft were real, where saints could appear to peasants, battles and sieges decided the fate of kingdoms and rigged trials could result in burning at the stake. Yet in her short life, Joan emboldened the French soldiers and villagers with her strength and resolve. A difficult, inflexible leader, she defied her accusers and enemies to the end. From her early years to the myths and fantasies that have swelled since her death, Taylor “goes deep into Joan of Arc’s heart and soul and shows us the maiden, the warrior and the heroine” (Kate Williams, New York Times bestselling author)./

Book Synopsis Hysteria Beyond Freud by : Sander L. Gilman
Download or read book Hysteria Beyond Freud written by Sander L. Gilman and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-03-29 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "She's hysterical." For centuries, the term "hysteria" has been used by physicians and laymen to diagnose and dismiss the extreme emotionality and mysterious physical disorders presumed to bedevil others—especially women. How did this medical concept assume its power? What cultural purposes does it serve? Why do different centuries and different circumstances produce different kinds of hysteria? These are among the questions pursued in this absorbing, erudite reevaluation of the history of hysteria. The widely respected authors draw upon the insights of social and cultural history, rather than Freudian psychoanalysis, to examine the ways in which hysteria has been conceived by doctors and patients, writers and artists, in Europe and North America, from antiquity to the early years of the twentieth century. In so doing, they show that a history of hysteria is a history of how we understand the mind. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1993.
