Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds of Heaven: And Other Stories His works show an extensive knowledge of Rus sia, through which he travelled very extensively (partly due to the fact that he was one time ban ished for political reasons), and a very keen appre ciation of the beauties and moods of nature. Even more than this, however, he appreciates very keenly the hardships and pleasures of the life of the peo ple and while depicting them realistically, he suc ceeds in casting over even sordid and unpleas ant scenes, a veil of poetic beauty and of spiritual significance, which elevate his work above much of that produced by his contemporaries.

This book was released on 2015-11-23 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BIRDS OF HEAVEN, and Other Stories, by Vladimir Korolenko. Translated by Clarence Augustus Manning. A high literary quality and that strange beauty that the Russian masters are capable of weaving Into their stories distinguish this collection of five pleasing and interesting stories. Turgenev and some of the other Russian masters show their greatest skill by depicting a situation of utter gloom, the very depths of sordidness, but Korolenko effects a distinct contrast by his touches of spiritual beauty. This ability is shown with particular power in "On the Volga," where the characters become involved in quarrel over whether making the sign of the cross with the fist has any efficacy. A strong story, a story for thought, is told in a few and simple words and in a style that best shows the infinite skill of a master. -The Interior, Volume 51 [1920]

Download or read book Delicate Edible Birds written by Lauren Groff and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2009-01-27 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Lauren Groff, author of the critically acclaimed and bestselling novel Fates and Furies, comes Delicate Edible Birds, one of the most striking short fiction debuts in years. Here are nine stories of astonishing insight and variety, each revealing a resonant drama within the life of a twentieth-century American woman. In "Sir Fleeting," a Midwestern farm girl on her honeymoon in Argentina falls into lifelong lust for a French playboy. In "Blythe," an attorney who has become a stay-at-home mother takes a night class in poetry and meets another full-time mother, one whose charismatic brilliance changes everything. In "The Wife of the Dictator," that eponymous wife ("brought back . . . from [the dictator's] last visit to America") grows more desperately, menacingly isolated every day. In "Delicate Edible Birds," a group of war correspondents-a lone, high-spirited woman among them-falls sudden prey to a brutal farmer while fleeing Nazis in the French countryside. In "Lucky Chow Fun," Groff returns us to Templeton, the setting of her first book, for revelations about the darkness within even that idyllic small town. In some of these stories, enormous changes happen in an instant. In others, transformations occur across a lifetime--or several lifetimes. Throughout the collection, Groff displays particular and vivid preoccupations. Crime is a motif--sex crimes, a possible murder, crimes of the heart. Love troubles recur; they're in every story--love in alcoholism, in adultery, in a flood, even in the great flu epidemic of 1918. Some of the love has depths, which are understood too late; some of the love is shallow, and also understood too late. And mastery is a theme--Groff's women swim and baton twirl, become poets, or try and try again to achieve the inner strength to exercise personal freedom. Overall, these stories announce a notable new literary master. Dazzlingly original and confident, Delicate Edible Birds further solidifies Groff's reputation as one of the foremost talents of her generation.

Book excerpt: From the acclaimed author of Snow Mountain Passage comes this richly evocative novel that follows a half-Indian, half-Hawai'ian woman and her complex relationship with the last king of Hawai'i.When talk show host Sheridan Brody finds the journals of his great grandmother Nani Keala (aka Nancy Callahan), he uncovers a mythic, unknown tale. Nani, a shy girl from a remote Indian village, met the Hawai'ian king, David Kalakaua, on his grand progress by train across the United States in 1881, eventually returning with him to Honolulu. There, as his young ally and protégée, ever more assured and charming, she played an integral role in his attempt to revive the monarchy and spirit of his people and, eventually, witnessed the mysterious circumstances surrounding his downfall. Deeply engaging through its vivid portrayal of California and Hawai'i at the end of the nineteenth century, Bird of Another Heaven is a masterful portrait of an era long past.
