Download or read book The Gambler Wife written by Andrew D. Kaufman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-08-30 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FINALIST FOR THE PEN JACQUELINE BOGRAD WELD AWARD FOR BIOGRAPHY “Feminism, history, literature, politics—this tale has all of that, and a heroine worthy of her own turn in the spotlight.” —Therese Anne Fowler, bestselling author of Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald A revelatory new portrait of the courageous woman who saved Dostoyevsky’s life—and became a pioneer in Russian literary history In the fall of 1866, a twenty-year-old stenographer named Anna Snitkina applied for a position with a writer she idolized: Fyodor Dostoyevsky. A self-described “girl of the sixties,” Snitkina had come of age during Russia’s first feminist movement, and Dostoyevsky—a notorious radical turned acclaimed novelist—had impressed the young woman with his enlightened and visionary fiction. Yet in person she found the writer “terribly unhappy, broken, tormented,” weakened by epilepsy, and yoked to a ruinous gambling addiction. Alarmed by his condition, Anna became his trusted first reader and confidante, then his wife, and finally his business manager—launching one of literature’s most turbulent and fascinating marriages. The Gambler Wife offers a fresh and captivating portrait of Anna Dostoyevskaya, who reversed the novelist’s freefall and cleared the way for two of the most notable careers in Russian letters—her husband’s and her own. Drawing on diaries, letters, and other little-known archival sources, Andrew Kaufman reveals how Anna protected her family from creditors, demanding in-laws, and her greatest romantic rival, through years of penury and exile. We watch as she navigates the writer’s self-destructive binges in the casinos of Europe—even hazarding an audacious turn at roulette herself—until his addiction is conquered. And, finally, we watch as Anna frees her husband from predatory contracts by founding her own publishing house, making Anna the first solo female publisher in Russian history. The result is a story that challenges ideas of empowerment, sacrifice, and female agency in nineteenth-century Russia—and a welcome new appraisal of an indomitable woman whose legacy has been nearly lost to literary history.

Download or read book Reflections on Teaching a Passion for Learning written by Mark Christensen and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflections on Teaching, A Passion for Learning by Dr. Mark Christensen, looks back over his four decades in the classroom,and may come at just the right time in the history of Teacher Training and Methods Classes. The upheaval of the 2020 Covid 19 Pandemic has been one of the most drastic era's facing education since the early 1900s. Dr. Christensen has written a book for the times-it is one that offers a spiritual reaching out, a time of renewal and re-organization. One that questions our resources. Prospective teachers are the target audience as current teachers have experienced a crisis in education and a toxic burden that seems unsolveable in its scope.The Book walks us through the emotional underpinnings of the classroom relationships. "We are all teachers. We can't help it. We teach just by living, by interacting with others. By setting examples, good or bad. Some teaching is more intentional of course, as parents teach children about safety, morals and hygiene; coaches teach athletic skills and thought patterns?.This book is not intended to be a lecture, or even a piece to be read from beginning to end, though I invite you to do so. It isn't even a book about how to teach, as that is far too large an aspiration for me to attempt. It is meant to be a book to be opened to any random page in hopes that the reflection you fall upon is one you can build upon as you develop your own presence in your own life."
