Download or read book Punch and Judy in 19th Century America written by Ryan Howard and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hand-puppet play starring the characters Punch and Judy was introduced from England and became extremely popular in the United States in the 1800s. This book details information on nearly 350 American Punch players. It explores the significance of the 19th-century American show as a reflection of the attitudes and conditions of its time and place. The century was a time of changing feelings about what it means to be human. There was an intensified awareness of the racial, cultural, social and economical diversity of the human species, and a corresponding concern for the experience of human oneness. The American Punch and Judy show was one of the manifestations of these conditions.

Download or read book The Trickster and the Paranormal written by George P. Hansen and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-08-20 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paranormal and supernatural events have been reported for millennia. They have fostered history’s most important cultural transformations (e.g., via the miracles of Moses, Jesus, Mohammed). Paranormal phenomena are frequently portrayed in the world’s greatest art and literature, as well as in popular TV shows and movies. Most adults in the U.S. believe in them. Yet they have a marginal place in modern culture. No university departments are devoted to studying psychic phenomena. In fact, a panoply of scientists now aggressively denounces them. These facts present a deeply puzzling situation. But they become coherent after pondering the trickster figure, an archaic being found worldwide in mythology and folklore. The trickster governs paradox and the irrational, but his messages are concealed. This book draws upon theories of the trickster from anthropology, folklore, sociology, semiotics, and literary criticism. It examines psychic phenomena and UFOs and explains why they are so problematical for science.

Download or read book Sheer Pressure written by Greg Abbott and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2022-12-14 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A charming, adrenaline packed love story set in post-9/11 Manhattan, Sheer Pressure follows Alex Halaby and Emily Lukes, two thirty-year-olds emotionally encumbered by money and family, as they struggle through a social and business minefield to become fully realized adults. Alex, the stunted son of a pantyhose magnate, is struggling to break away and find himself, but is soon thrust into an arena way over his head where the stakes are all or nothing. Emily’s marriage to billionaire art collector Charles Lukes lacks passion and respect, and her overpowering attraction to Alex threatens to destroy the lives and dreams of many. While treachery abounds, two parallel universes threaten to collide with untold consequences. Sheer Pressure deftly captures the worlds of Upper East Side Manhattan and big business with unique flair, offering a bona fi de insider’s perspective. While lampooning upper-crust New York society—especially its expensive women and high-powered moguls—Sheer Pressure is a suspenseful romp that buzzes along with high humor, terrific hairpin turns, unpredictable twists, and a slam-bam surprise ending like The Graduate that leads the reader curiously and irresistibly into the book’s gripping, mind-blowing sequel.
