Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1892, unrepentant anarchists Alexander Berkman, Henry Bauer, and Carl Nold were sent to the Western Pennsylvania State Penitentiary for the attempted assassination of steel tycoon Henry Clay Frick. Searching for a way to continue their radical politics and to proselytize among their fellow inmates, these men circulated messages of hope and engagement via primitive means and sympathetic prisoners. On odd bits of paper, in German and in English, they shared their thoughts and feelings in a handwritten clandestine magazine called “Prison Blossoms.” This extraordinary series of essays on anarchism and revolutionary deeds, of prison portraits and narratives of homosexuality among inmates, and utopian poems and fables of a new world to come not only exposed the brutal conditions in American prisons, where punishment cells and starvation diets reigned, but expressed a continuing faith in the "beautiful ideal" of communal anarchism. Most of the "Prison Blossoms" were smuggled out of the penitentiary to fellow comrades, including Emma Goldman, as the nucleus of an exposé of prison conditions in America’s Gilded Age. Those that survived relatively unrecognized for a century in an international archive are here transcribed, translated, edited, and published for the first time. Born at a unique historical moment, when European anarchism and American labor unrest converged, as each sought to repel the excesses of monopoly capitalism, these prison blossoms peer into the heart of political radicalism and its fervent hope of freedom from state and religious coercion.

Download or read book The Similitude of Blossoms written by Charles Shirō Inouye and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-03-23 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Izumi Kyoka (1872-1939) wrote some 300 stories, plays, and essays. In the first book-length study in English of Kyoka, Charles Shiro Inouye argues that his writings were a refinement of a vision that came into focus around 1900. This narrative archetype formed the aesthetic and ethical bases of his work. Kyoka does not fit the conventional story of Japanese literary modernization. Unlike most of his contemporaries, he did not jettison the Japanese literary tradition in favor of modernist imports from the West. The highly visual mode of figuration that was Kyoka's compromise with the demands of literary modernism allows us to see the continuation of Edo culture in the Japanese modern and expand our understanding of literary reform in the early twentieth century.

Book excerpt: "It's not just Murakami but also the shadow of Borges that hovers over this mesmerizing book... [and] one may detect a slight bow to the American macabre of E.A. Poe. Ogawa stands on the shoulders of giants, as another saying goes. But this collection may linger in your mind -- it does in mine -- as a delicious, perplexing, absorbing and somehow singular experience." -- Alan Cheuse, NPR Sinister forces collide---and unite a host of desperate characters---in this eerie cycle of interwoven tales from Yoko Ogawa, the critically acclaimed author of The Housekeeper and the Professor. An aspiring writer moves into a new apartment and discovers that her landlady has murdered her husband. Elsewhere, an accomplished surgeon is approached by a cabaret singer, whose beautiful appearance belies the grotesque condition of her heart. And while the surgeon's jealous lover vows to kill him, a violent envy also stirs in the soul of a lonely craftsman. Desire meets with impulse and erupts, attracting the attention of the surgeon's neighbor---who is drawn to a decaying residence that is now home to instruments of human torture. Murderers and mourners, mothers and children, lovers and innocent bystanders---their fates converge in an ominous and darkly beautiful web. Yoko Ogawa's Revenge is a master class in the macabre that will haunt you to the last page. An NPR Best Book of 2013

Download or read book Trampled Blossoms written by Moon Young-Sook and published by Seoul Selection . This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young adult novel recounting the devastation of a victim of Japanese military sexual slavery • The first young adult novel to paint a vivid and realistic depiction of the “comfort women” • The story of the young girls whose bodies and souls were trampled in their blossoming youth as they were dragged from their hometowns across foreign lands from Inner Mongolia and Shanghai, China, to Leyte Island in the Philippines Many are familiar with the history of the “comfort women,” the victims of Japanese military sexual slavery, but how much do they really know? Few fully understand exactly why and how the girls came to be “comfort women,” the scope of the assault they endured at the “comfort stations” set up throughout regions colonized by Japan including Korea, and how they lived out their lives after they returned Korea post-liberation. There are limits to how much of the truth can be exposed to children and teens due to the sensitive nature of the subject, which is why previously published children’s and young adult novels that have attempted to address this tragedy fell short of capturing the actual extent of the damage and suffering. Simply acknowledging the tragedy as a historical fact and fully portraying the depth of reality and pain of the victims are vastly different propositions, which makes the publication of Trampled Blossoms, an honest and vivid depiction of the victims’ accounts of sexual slavery under the Japanese military, all the more meaningful. * This is a work of fiction based on true historical facts, in-person interviews, and testimonies of the “comfort women.” The names and details of certain real persons, places, and incidents have been changed in the novel, and all other characters, places, and events are products of the author’s imagination.

This book was released on 2017-12-07 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kajal Shreiyaa was born into a well-to-do family. Kajal is black kohl put on the eyes of women and is black in color, and Shreiyaa means beautiful and auspicious. This is the dark side and bright side of Kajal Shreiyaas life. You could say that she was fortunate, as she had everything as a young child and as a teenager. Her parents lavished her with love and gave her all sorts of luxuries, such as beautiful clothes, fine dining at high-end restaurants, toys from lands afar, and traveling experiences across the oceans to exotic lands like India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Europe, and Australia. The rich experience of travel to many countries set her apart from her other schoolmates. Not only did she travel, but she did so in luxury. She was used to having maids at her beck and call, and she dressed immaculately for every occasion. Gold, silk, and diamonds were her cup of tea from early youth; she learned to appreciate ostentatious items and enjoyed the opulence that surrounded her. Her upbringing was basked in the love of her parents and her only sibling, an older brother, Hemanth, who doted on his little sister. Her parents were successful in what they did and were family-oriented, driven to give their very best to the two children they had. Her father, Kishen Venugopal, was a successful property dealer who knew the ins and out of wheeling and dealing with the property market so that he had a Midas touch and every property sold made huge profits. He had the gift of maintaining a strong bank balance. Kajals mother, Nandini Venugopal, was a biology and English teacher at a renowned convent school in Singapore. Everything was fine; everything was beautiful. Summer flowers blossomed everywhere. It seemed that life had it made for her, all the way from childhood to teenage years and then young love to the man of her dreams. Then came the major slip, when the marriage to the love of her life crumbled. This book is about a broken young womans journey to enlightenment and rebuilding with spirit. Her dreams were broken, her life was broken, her spirit was broken. She picked up her life with deep inner cleansing, meditation, and praying with faith. His Holiness the Dalai Lama transformed her life, and she found a higher source of love. New aspirations, new dreams, new inspirations, and new love for God made a turn in her life. Having faith and holding on to God, she turned her life around, and she basked in the glorious love of God and the resplendent sunshine. This was her parents blessing: May you never forget God for even a moment! She became a well-received published author on an international level. She expressed herself with words that sang, painted the picture, and rewrote her life as a passionate wordsmith. She found she was surrounded by love as the morning glory blossoms.
