Book excerpt: “Healing doesn’t mean that the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our life.” No matter what you’ve been through, sometimes you still find yourself feeling sad. Crepuscule of life takes you on a journey from darkness to light, reminding you of how far you’ve come and how far you need to go. The 3 stages in the book reflect the outline of the healing process. The first stage, trauma and depression, is where sadness fills your soul, and you can’t find a way out. The second stage, confusion and realization, is where you step out of denial, and all you desire is to be whole. The last stage, alleviation, is where your problems are less severe, you finally meet the needs of your soul, and you surround yourself with positivity. Let this book serve as a reminder that the journey is never easy, but the light at the end of the tunnel is worth it all. If you fall, then you get back up and try again, trying is everything.

Download or read book Loiterature written by Ross Chambers and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fabric of the western literary tradition is not always predictable. In one wayward strand, waywardness itself is at work, delay becomes almost predictable, triviality is auspicious, and failure is cheerfully admired. This is loiterature. Loiterature is the first book to identify this strand, to follow its path through major works and genres, and to evaluate its literary significance. ø By offering subtle resistance to the laws of "good social order," loiterly literature blurs the distinctions between innocent pleasure and harmless relaxation on the one hand, and not-so-innocent intent on the other. The result is covert social criticism that casts doubt on the values good citizens hold dear?values like discipline, organization, productivity, and, above all, work. It levels this criticism, however, under the guise of innocent wit or harmless entertainment. Loiterature distracts attention the way a street conjurer diverts us with his sleight of hand.øøø If the pleasurable has critical potential, may not one of the functions of the critical be to produce pleasure? The ability to digress, Ross Chambers suggests, is at the heart of both, and loiterature?s digressive waywardness offers something to ponder for critics of culture as well as lovers of literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: « Beaucoup d’ouvrage ont été écrit sur la ville la plus vieille au monde. Beaucoup trop peu-être, mais si je consens à écrire ce livre comme m’avait demandé tant de fois le grand homme qu’il fut Vîr Bhadra Mishra, d’une plume d’ « alien » et d’un regard d’« »outsider », c’est au prix de laisser s’échapper de moi cette lumière, qui accueille chacune de mes arrivées dans la ville sainte, à travers les mots dont on ne soupçonne jamais suffisamment le potentiel... » C’est ainsi que l’auteure - diplômée de l’EHESS (École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales) de Paris (France), avec un « Advanced Hindi Diploma de la BHU (Banaras Hindu University) et le « Sanskrit Prâmana Patriya » de la SSU (Sampurnanand Sanskrit University) de Varanasi (Inde) et membre d’un cercle de Spécialistes en Ramayana (grande épopée et un des textes fondamentaux de la mythologie hindoue) - commence son ouvrage sur la « miniature indienne » blottie au pied du Gange où chaque jour des milliers de pèlerins et simples croyants viennent de partout pour se purifier dans les eaux sacrées d’un fleuve « immensément mais mal aimé ». Cet ouvrage, qui émane d’une longue expérience de l’auteure sur le sol indien, est composé de trois parties (plus des photos prises par l’auteure elle-même). La première partie donne quelques indications sur la ville sainte de Bénarès ; la seconde s’adresse au fleuve sacré, le Gange, et ses problématiques ; tandis que la troisième laisse libre cours aux ghats. La description des ghats tout en gardant une note plutôt intimiste dévoile le caractère de chaque ghat sur lequel elle s’arrête dans le but de souligner l’importance vitale du fleuve dans le quotidien des habitants de Bénarès. Il a l’ambition d’une « amoureuse » de la ville sainte et la vocation d’un plaidoyer pour le fleuve. --- ‘A lot of work has been written about the oldest city in the world, too much perhaps, but if I consent to write this book—as had asked me many times the great man Veer Bhadra Mishra, with an “alien” pen and a look of “outsider”—it is at the cost of letting it escape from me the light that welcomes each of my arrivals in the Holy City through words whose potential is never sufficiently suspected . . .’ This is how the author—who graduated from the EHESS (Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales) in Paris, with an advanced diploma in Hindi from the BHU (Banaras Hindu University) and the ‘Sanskrit Prâmana Patriya’ from the SSU (Sampurnanand Sanskrit University) in Varanasi (India) and who is a member of a circle of specialists in Ramayana (great epic and one of the fundamental texts of Hindu mythology)—begins her work on the Indian miniature nestled at the foot of the Ganges where every day thousands of pilgrims and simple believers come from everywhere to purify themselves in the sacred waters of an immense but unloved river. This book, which emanates from the author’s long experience on Indian soil, is composed of three parts (plus the photographs taken by the author herself). The first part gives some indications on the Holy City of Banaras. The second addresses the sacred river, the Ganges, and its problem, while the third gives free rein to the ghats. The description of the ghats, while keeping a rather intimate note, reveals the character of each ghat on which it stops with the intention to emphasize the vital importance of the river in the daily life of the inhabitants of Banaras. It has the ambition of a ‘lover’ of the sacred city and the vocation of a plea for the river.

Download or read book The Beauty of Baudelaire written by Roger Pearson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-16 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers the first comprehensive close reading in any language of the complete works of Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867). Taking full account of his critical writings on literature and the fine arts, it provides fresh readings of Les Fleurs du Mal and Le Spleen de Paris. It situates these works within the context of nineteenth-century French literature and culture and reassesses Baudelaire's reputation as the 'father' of modern poetry. Whereas he is traditionally considered to have rejected the public role of the writer as moralist, educator, and political leader and to have dedicated himself instead to the exclusive pursuit of beauty in art, this book contends not only that he rejected Art for Art's sake but that he saw in 'beauty'—defined not as an inherent quality but as an effect of harmony and rich conjecture—an alternative ethos with which to resist the tyrannies of ideology and conformism. Contrarian in his thinking and provocatively innovative in his poetic practice, Baudelaire fell foul of the law when six poems in Les Fleurs du Mal (1857) were banned for obscenity. In the second edition (1861), substantially recast and enlarged, the poet as alternative lawgiver made plainer still his resistance to the orthodoxies of his day. In a series of major critical articles he proclaimed the 'government of the imagination', while from 1855 until his death he developed an alternative literary form, the prose poem—a thing of beauty and an invitation to imagine the world afresh, to make our own rules.
Download or read book Brilliant Corners written by Chris Sheridan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-04-30 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this masterful compilation, world-recognized discographer Chris Sheridan draws together the most comprehensive reconstruction of Thelonious Monk's performances and recordings. Woven through the chronological listing of Monk's work is the story of his rise to acceptance as one of the key pianists and composers of jazz and his decline in health and popularity to his death in 1982. Following a Prologue which attempts to summarize the career and man, the narrative discography covers Monk's entire performance career. This is followed by appendixes listing all microgroove and post-microgroove issues of Monk's performances, all known commercially produced films and videos in which Monk took part, a listing of all of his engagements from 1944 until his career petered out in the mid-1970s, and a bibliography. The work concludes with an index of the people, places, producers, and radio and television programs referred to or quoted in the main taxt, a listing of all musicians, vocalists, and broadcast presenters who took part in the recordings or who played in Monk's bands, an index of all the titles used for Monk's tunes by other musicians and vocalists, and a listing of all tunes played, together with their composers and, where relevant, lyricists. A comprehensive reference work for all scholars and other researchers involved with jazz from the 1940s onward.

Download or read book African Literature in French written by Dorothy S. Blair and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1976-11-18 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1976 book provides both a historical survey and a critical analysis of the literature in French from West and Equatorial Africa. Professor Blair begins by discussing the social, educational and political influences which led to the formation of the Negritude movement and to a flowering of French-African creative writing. This historical approach is then complemented by a study of the different literary genres. She traces the evolution of the first manifestations of literary activity in French by African writers, the written folk-tale, fable and short story, from the oral tradition of the indigenous culture, and the eventual appearance of the novel with a legendary or historical theme. The origins of French-African drama are considered for the first time, and the work of the minor poets analysed. Finally, Professor Blair attempts a definition of the French-African novel, and studies examples from three major periods from the 1930s onwards.

This book was released on 2011-06-27 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first biography of the legendary Rothschild heiress who reigned as New York’s “Jazz Baroness.” It’s a misty night in 1950s New York. A silver Rolls-Royce screeches to a stop at the neon-lit doorway of a 52nd Street jazz club. Behind the wheel is a glamorous brunette, a chinchilla stole draped over her shoulder and a long cigarette holder clinched in her teeth. After taking a pull from a small silver flask, she glides past the bouncer into the murky depths of the Three Deuces. The Jazz Baroness has arrived. Raised in fairy-tale splendor, Kathleen Annie Pannonica Rothschild de Koenigswarter (known as “Nica”) piloted her own plane across the English Channel, married a French baron, fought in the French Resistance, and had five children. Then she heard a recording of Thelonious Monk’s “Round Midnight.” Inspired by the liberating spirit of jazz, Nica left her family, moved to Manhattan, and began haunting the city’s nightclubs. The tabloids first splashed her name across the headlines after Charlie Parker died in her hotel suite—a scandal that cast a dark shadow over the rest of her life. She retreated from the public eye, but through her ongoing ministrations to Monk and dozens of other musicians she became a legend. Nearly a score of jazz compositions have been written in her honor, including two of the most beloved classics of the genre: Horace Silver’s “Nica’s Dream” and Monk’s “Pannonica.” Nica’s Dream traces the story of a fascinating woman across her thirty-year reign as the Jazz Baroness, but it also explores a transformative era in twentieth-century American culture. Based on interviews with musicians, family members, historians, and artists, David Kastin’s probing biography unwraps the life of this enigmatic figure and evokes the vibrancy of New York during the birth of bebop, the first stirrings of the Beat Generation, and the advent of abstract expressionism.

Download or read book Ghosts of Home written by Marianne Hirsch and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2010-01-19 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In modern-day Ukraine, east of the Carpathian Mountains, there is an invisible city. Known as Czernowitz, the "Vienna of the East" under the Habsburg empire, this vibrant Jewish-German Eastern European culture vanished after World War II—yet an idealized version lives on, suspended in the memories of its dispersed people and passed down to their children like a precious and haunted heirloom. In this original blend of history and communal memoir, Marianne Hirsch and Leo Spitzer chronicle the city's survival in personal, familial, and cultural memory. They find evidence of a cosmopolitan culture of nostalgic lore—but also of oppression, shattered promises, and shadows of the Holocaust in Romania. Hirsch and Spitzer present the first historical account of Jewish Czernowitz in the English language and offer a profound analysis of memory's echo across generations.
