Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this novel, by October 1991 war in western Croatia between Croats and Serbs is daily and deadly. Navenka Berik, a wimpy 25-year-old Serb mother of two has had her Serb parents and her Croat husband make decisions for her. During the next few months: - Her father is taken and presumed killed, - Navenka is raped, - Her husband is arrested and probably is killed, - Her mother becomes crippled, - From the rape, another child is born, - Remaining family members are on the run as internally displaced persons in the dissolving Yugoslavia, - The hassled Navenka has to step up and lead. Unwelcome anywhere, the family languishes with temporary protection visas in Germany. In 1996, they are accepted as refugees in Australia. Peace, the English language and Australia’s very multicultural society bring many new problems. Navenka’s ongoing memories of her husband keep her wishing that he might be alive. Thoughts of moving back to Croatia or to Bosnia end when, briefly, Navenka attends the trial of those accused of murdering her father. There, poverty and the old ethnic prejudices live on. Back in Australia, her long “lost” husband finds her. However, after the initial joy wears off, the terms of his demand, at gunpoint, that his family go and live in Croatia with him are unacceptable. Navenka’s daughter Srebrenka, too young to be burdened by bad memories of Yugoslavia, cleverly resolves the impasse. People react differently to war. Some think. Some “just feel”.

Download or read book The Storm Within written by Romi Jain and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a fascinating novel written with deep passion in a typical poetic and dialogic style. It exposes the deeply rooted evil of the caste oppression in a rigid social hierarchy of India, especially in the rural setting, in which Dalits (suppressed low-caste Hindus) are found on a warpath with Thakurs (feudal lords) in their assertion for self-dignity and social equality. It brings out the finer side of catholicity of Christianity through the character of Robert on the one hand and exposes the inbred social hypocrisy of self-appointed guardians of Hinduism through the characters of orthodox Hindus on the other. The novel reveals the multi-layered storm surging within the heart of a Dalit woman in Bura- an icon of courage and assertion for the Dalit empowerment. More poignantly, it depicts the raging storm in the heart of the royal lady who symbolizes a deep-seated sympathy for Dalits and a profound hatred for the repressive practices of the male members of her own feudal family. The novel is compelling, engaging and exciting spiced with sarcasm and humor. It must attract a general and enlightened readership including NGOs, feminists and social scientists. The Storm Within is thoroughly captivating, the narrative description rich, the characterization vibrant and the human drama vivid and palpable. It is certain to enthrall readers young and old with its timely vision and heartrending call for understanding and compassion. The author's greatest gift is her ability to describe people.. The novel resounds with a brave new voice in the literary scene. It is a miraculous accomplishment for a debut novel. -Timothy B. Watson, Toronto, Canada Literary critic and author of several novels including The Symphony of Time It is lively and interesting, dramatic and with a concern for social problems and social change. The author has quite a good capacity for observation and a strong creative spark. -Genevieve Vaughan Feminist and Founder of Foundation for a Compassionate Society, USA

Download or read book Proto Austronesian Phonology with Glossary written by John U. Wolff and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work, divided into two volumes, is the study of the history of words in the Austronesian (An) languages—their origin in Proto-Austronesian (PAn) or at later stages and how they developed into the forms that are attested in the current An languages. A study of their history entails the reconstruction of the sound system (phonology) of PAn and an exposition of the sound laws (rules) whereby the original sounds changed into those attested in the current An languages. The primary aim of this work is to examine exhaustively the forms that can be reconstructed for PAn and also for the earliest stage after the An languages began to spread southward from Taiwan. For the later stages—that is, forms that can be traced no further back than to the proto-languages of late subgroups, we do not attempt to be exhaustive but confine ourselves to only some of the forms that are traceable to those times, treating those that figure prominently in the literature on historical An linguistics or those that have special characteristics important for understanding in general how forms arose and the processes that led to change. In short, the aim of this study is not just to reconstruct protomorphemes and order the reflexes according to the entries they fit under, but rather to account for the history of each fom1 that is attested and explain what happened historically to yield the attestations. Volume 2 of the Proto-Austronesian Phonology is divided into four parts and contains a glossary, finder lists from the English translation, a bibliography, and an index.
