Book excerpt: "Silent Sun is the story of one man's quest for his heritage - a chronicle of hardships experienced in Nazi labor camps; a tribute, also, to the human spirit." "From the nights of September 1939, when caravans of Polish cavalry passed too quietly beneath his windows in Chrzanow, Poland, Solomon Gross was filled with a sense of foreboding. By 1940, his fears were realized as he found himself in Sakran, a Nazi labor camp - cutting sod in the warm weather, shoveling snow in a cold that froze his canvas-clogged feet, living on potato soup. Conditions worsened from day to day." "But if the camp at Sakran was "the most difficult physical experience" for Gross, the Graditz camp he was moved to in 1941 was difficult in its own way - "a trial of a totally different nature" . . . a place where, for a time, one hundred people lived on rations meant for forty. In the two and a half years Gross was shuttled between Graditz and another camp called Faulbruck, his survival instincts emerged with new fervor: he smuggled potatoes from the camp kitchen in his knickerbockers; he ate sugar beets - or "swine fodder" - for as long as he could stomach them. And ever and again he made his blacksmithing talents a distraction to the Germans - a cover for operations of survival." "In the second half of 1944, Gross was moved from Graditz to Sportschule, a division of the Grossrosen concentration camp. There, he had to give up his own clothes for a striped, burlap uniform, and his hair to the crude barbering instruments of his captors. And yet, in such bleak surroundings, he persevered - wrote inspiring letters to his future wife, Dorka, smuggled food to his mother, shared rations with his friend Berek." "Writes Gross, "Some, like myself, spent close to four years waiting for the great day." Indeed. Four years. Something like a college education - only with an infinitely more grueling course load, and participation in graduation an uncertainty. Fortunately for Gross, convocation came with the buzzing of Allied bombers: in the midst of death machines was deliverance." "Life during the war had not been without occasional pleasures, or even joys. Through those years in the camp, Gross had shared a sweet courtship with Dorka, after all, and experienced the kindness of sympathetic peasants and half-hearted enemies. Conversely, postwar life was not without its trials. Some of Gross's Russian liberators, for instance, proved crude in their pursuit of victory's "spoils." But Gross, like so many of the liberated Jews, was irrepressible. Like the great silent sun he longed to be warmed by, Solomon Gross was ever persistent. In its rays, he found his heritage."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Download or read book The Hundredfold written by Anthony Esolen and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2019-08-26 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hundredfold is a tapestry of hymns, monologues, and short lyrics knit together as one book-length poem in praise of Christ in all his startling humanity. Drawing from the riches of the English poetic tradition—meter, rhyme, music—the poet considers the mysterious man from Nazareth and the world he came to set on fire with splendor. Having made a career translating the Italian masters Dante and Tasso, Anthony Esolen now puts on the dusty mantle of such English craftsmen as Donne, Milton, and Hopkins in his first book of original contemplative poetry. The Hundredfold contains dramatic monologues set in first-century Greece and Palestine; lyrical meditations on creation, longing, failure, modern emptiness, and unshakeable hope; and twenty-one brand-new hymns, set to such traditional melodies as “Picardy” and “Old One-Hundred-Twenty-Fourth”. The book includes an introduction with diamond-sharp insights into English poetic form—at a time when form is so often misunderstood, if not dismissed. It provides an invaluable resource for students, teachers, and poets themselves, as well as those who simply read poetry for pleasure.

Book excerpt: Quintessentially British, Genesis spearheaded progressive rock in the 1970s, evolving into a chart-topping success through the end of the millennium. Influencing rock groups such as Radiohead, Phish, Rush, Marillion and Elbow, the experimental format of Genesis' songs inspired new avenues for music to explore. From the 23-minute masterpiece "Supper's Ready," via the sublime beauty of "Ripples" and the bold experimentation of "Mama", to hits such as "Invisible Touch" and "I Can't Dance," their material was inventive and unique. This book is the chronological history of the band's music, with critical analysis and key details of each of the 204 songs Genesis recorded and released.

When she discovers that her husband played a role in Sarah’s death, Carole succumbs to a depression so devastating, it threatens to destroy her.

Book excerpt: “Those who enjoy the work of such popular feminist speculative fiction writers as Joanna Russ and Ursula K. Le Guin will find much to admire here.” —Publishers Weekly Winner of the IAFA Crawford, and the James Tiptree, Jr., and the Aurora awards, Black Wine beckons readers into a stark and richly realized world similar to yet very different from our own, to explore the many ways a woman can be cut off from her own history. How does a woman survive, maintain her sense of self in such a place? An amnesiac slave girl struggles to learn about her past—and secure a future outside the oppressive society that binds her. A female adventurer confronts danger as she searches for her lost mother. A wife struggles within a marriage to a man she does not want. A world of female characters whose emotional journeys are intimately intertwined, where identity and history, language and perception, sexuality and oppression, unite them in their search for meaning, human connection, and ultimately, freedom. “The careful braiding of self, places, and times insidiously pulls you in.—Elisabeth Vonarburg, author of The Silent City and The Maerlande Chronicles “Like its title, Black Wine is rare and darkly glowing with iridescence. A taut, spare, wonderful creation.” —Edmonton Journal “A tantalizing, distinctive, sexy, and beautifully rendered first novel.” —Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book The Street Kids written by Pier Paolo Pasolini and published by Europa Editions. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “provocative” novel about hard-living teenagers in poverty-stricken postwar Rome, by the renowned Italian filmmaker (The New York Times). Set during the post–World War II years in the Rome of the borgate—outlying neighborhoods beset by poverty and deprivation—The Street Kids tells the story of a group of adolescents belonging to the urban underclass. Living hand-to-mouth, Riccetto and his friends eke out an existence doing odd jobs, committing petty crimes, and prostituting themselves. Rooted in the neorealist movement of the 1950s, The Street Kids is a tender, heart-rending tribute to an entire social class in danger of being forgotten. Heavily censored and criticized, lambasted by much of the general public upon its publication, The Street Kids nevertheless had a force and vitality that eventually led to its being considered a masterpiece. This new translation comes from Ann Goldstein, the acclaimed translator of Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan novels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hadrian Marlowe, a man revered as a hero and despised as a murderer, chronicles his tale in the galaxy-spanning debut of the Sun Eater series, merging the best of space opera and epic fantasy. It was not his war. The galaxy remembers him as a hero: the man who burned every last alien Cielcin from the sky. They remember him as a monster: the devil who destroyed a sun, casually annihilating four billion human lives—even the Emperor himself—against Imperial orders. But Hadrian was not a hero. He was not a monster. He was not even a soldier. On the wrong planet, at the right time, for the best reasons, Hadrian Marlowe starts down a path that can only end in fire. He flees his father and a future as a torturer only to be left stranded on a strange, backwater world. Forced to fight as a gladiator and navigate the intrigues of a foreign planetary court, Hadrian must fight a war he did not start, for an Empire he does not love, against an enemy he will never understand.

Download or read book My Roman History written by Alizah Holstein and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2024-06-25 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A lyrical and moving exploration of the ways in which the heart governs even the pursuit of a life of the mind, this a book for anyone who has ever loved Rome, as well as anyone who shares the experience of having found, in an unfamiliar history, their own unexpected home.” —Rebecca Mead, author of My Life in Middlemarch and Home/Land In this exquisite and profound memoir, a medieval historian traces her lifelong obsession with Rome and the encounters with the city’s past and present that became fulcrum points in her life From the time she first felt called to its gates as a high school student fascinated by Dante and Italian thanks to a life-changing teacher, Rome has been a fixed star around which Alizah Holstein’s life has rotated—despite the fact that she bears no Italian heritage, and has never lived there long enough to call it home. In this kaleidoscopic yet intimate memoir, her shifting relationship to a vibrant city layered with human history becomes a lens on why we look to the past, on the mysteries of affinity and desire, and on what it means to grow up. Holstein weaves the stories of Romans past and present, and encounters with the city of historical figures from Petrarch to Freud, into the narrative of her evolution from a curious student abuzz with the thrill of discovery, to a lonely researcher in a city to which she feels she belongs despite knowing no one, to an ambitious young historian struggling to find her place in the halls of academia. Following a trail of memories—that first taste of a tartufo cioccolato in Piazza Navona, the ancient walls of the Via Appia blurring from the back of a motorcycle, the smudge of ink on a manuscript left by a scribe's hand over seven hundred years before—she explores what it means to be romana, Roman—and to find solace and self-knowledge in the presence of the past. An enveloping, original, and deeply resonant account, set against one of the world's most beguiling cities, of the unexpected things that give our lives meaning, My Roman History is a profound depiction of the winding path to self-realization, which—much like history itself—is mysterious, captivating, and ever-unfolding.
