Book excerpt: "The deer park is set in the town of Desert D'Or, a man-made oasis of bars, neon signs, motels, and gambling clubs located in the desert just over the mountains from California. To Desert D'Or come the Hollywood contingents of aspiring movie stars, black-listed writers, call girls, pimps, and paternalistic studio officials -- all to enact in the strenuousness of their leisure-taking, the fevered dreams, sexual conflicts, and sputtering hopes of a rich, but lost, society."--Book jacket.

Download or read book EDGAR ALLAN POE written by Giuseppe Cafiero and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-06 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giuseppe Cafiero presents the most intriguing biography of one of America's most enduring writers: poet, author, and critic Edgar Allan Poe. The beloved master of mystery and the macabre, Poe's life and work are explored through the creation of memories, recriminations, intense loves and of delicate devotions. Using the form of literary nonfiction, Cafiero successfully structures this memoir in the style of a traditional fiction narrative. Introducing the reader to the character, The Reporter, whose story is a mirror in which it's possible to contemplate what is unreasonably hidden and infinitely ambiguous in the existence and in the writing of Edgar Allan Poe. After Poe's infamous death, the reporter attempts to investigate the life and writing of Poe by attending a meeting at the Old Swan Tavern in Richmond. Invited to the interview is archrival Reverend Rufus Wilmot Griswold and one of the last to see Poe before his death, Dr. J. Evans Snodgrass. The reporter not only discovers the accusations of life filled with alcoholism, opium addiction, violence and womanizing but also begins to understand that this painful dark existence is not the antithesis to great writing. This is confirmed when the investigation continues with the meeting of an array of people by the reporter who divulges more information on the life of Poe and why many became the protagonists in his stories. This surreal bio-fiction of the life of nineteenth-century American writer, father of detective fiction, Edgar Allan Poe, brings to life a solidly constructed psychological portrait of the writer through the characters in his works. Each of the stories is accompanied by the gloriously gothic Illustrations by acclaimed Italian artist Sergio Poddighe. Perhaps this is the only way to pay tribute to a writer who has indelibly marked the nineteenth-century.

Download or read book Old Order Mennonites written by Daniel B. Lee and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2000 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lee focuses on the Weaverland Conference of Old Order Mennonites, a group formed in 1893 and now consisting of over 5,000 members. A large concentration of Weaverland Mennonites live in upstate New York near Seneca Falls, and Lee focuses his easily readable sociological study on that community. Individual chapters deal with the worship, rituals, rules, and discipline of the group, and with a number of recent defections to a more mainstream Mennonite Church located in the same area. Lee argues that Weaverland Mennonites are held together by their practices alone, rather than by a common underlying set of beliefs. --Choice Magazine
Download or read book Hutterite Songs written by Helen Martens and published by Kitchener, Ont. : Pandora Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative study explores the remarkable four-hundred-year-old tradition of Hutterite songs. The author traces the origins of Hutterites' sacred songs from the time the earliest Anabaptists began writing them. These songs have been aurally/orally transmitted and sung in unison since that time. The primary song book of the Hutterites, Die Lieder der Hutterischen Brüder, contains words to songs, primarily by Hutterites, which were written to a variety of melodies. The melodies range from medieval liturgical chant, court songs, sacred and secular folk songs, to the hymns emanating from the various churches after the Reformation. Many of these melodies are being sung today only by the Hutterites. This study, begun in the 1960s, captures a tradition which is now being threatened by the fact that many Hutterites are beginning to sing four part music of the classical tradition and to play musical instruments, as well as furthering their education outside of the colonies.

Download or read book Harmonia Sacra written by Joseph Funk and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Harmonia Sacra is a hymn book of renown. In 1832 a Mennonite named Joseph Funk published a songbook that had a profound influence on Mennonite singing for generations. Its name, Genuine Church Music, indicated the compiler's intention that the contents be songs that, in his words, have stood the test of time and survived the changes of fashion. Its distinctively shaped notes of the fasola system linked it with dozens of songbooks published in America at the time to encourage musical literacy. The variety of musical content, ranging from simple psalm tunes and American folk melodies to complex early American anthems, offered ideal materials for singing schools. The Harmonia Sacra is still used in old folks' all-day singings in Rockingham and adjacent areas. In fact, this edition is the revised Legacy Edition, making it the twenty-seventh edition of The Harmonia Sacra.
