Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep delivers a suspenseful and emotionally satisfying novel “infused with warmth and humor” (People) about a lifelong friendship, a devastating secret, and the small acts of kindness that bring people together. There are three things you should know about Elsie. The first thing is that she’s my best friend. The second is that she always knows what to say to make me feel better. And the third thing…might take a bit more explaining. Eighty-four-year-old Florence has fallen in her flat at Cherry Tree Home for the Elderly. As she waits to be rescued, she thinks about her friend Elsie and wonders if a terrible secret from their past is about to come to light. If the charming new resident is who he claims to be, why does he look exactly like a man who died sixty years ago? From the acclaimed, bestselling author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep, Three Things About Elsie “breathes with suspense, providing along the way piercing, poetic descriptions, countless tiny mysteries, and breathtaking little reveals…a rich portrait of old age and friendship stretched over a fascinating frame” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). This is an “amusing and heartbreaking” (Publishers Weekly) story about forever friends on the twisting path of life who come to understand how the fine threads of humanity connect us all.

Download or read book The Interview written by Jonathan Skinner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are new interview methods and practices in our new 'interview society' and how do they relate to traditional social science research? This volume interrogates the interview as understood, used - and under-used - by anthropologists. It puts the interview itself in the hotseat by exploring the nature of the interview, interview techniques, and illustrative cases of interview use.What is a successful and representative interview? How are interviews best transcribed and integrated into our writing? Is interview knowledge production safe, ethical and representative? And how are interviews used by anthropologists in their ethnographic practice?This important volume leads the reader from an initial scrutiny of the interview to interview techniques and illustrative case studies. It is experimental, innovative, and covers in detail matters such as awkwardness, silence and censorship in interviews that do not feature in general interview textbooks. It will appeal to social scientists engaged in qualitative research methods in general, and anthropology and sociology students using interviews in their research and writing in particular.

Download or read book La petite marchande d allumettes written by Hans Christian Andersen and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il peut arriver qu'un récit littéraire classique plus ou moins ancien soit considéré par nos contemporains à juste titre, comme faisant partie du patrimoine de l'humanité, et se superpose aux événements que le temps présent nous donne la possibilité de vivre. LA PETITE MARCHAND D'ALLUMETTES appartient sans aucun doute à cette catégorie. Comment cela s'est-il précisément passé ? Je ne sais plus exactement mais un jour, le visage d'une petite fille bosniaque retenue prisonnière dans la ville assiégée, entre 1992 et 1995, s'est imposé à moi comme symbole d'une enfance victime de la folie barbare des hommes. La distance séparant le conte d'Andersen de la réalité d'une guerre qui ravageait un pays de notre Europe moderne n'existait plus... ..., l'innocente inconnue rejoignait dans la souffrance sa sœur jumelle, celle à laquelle Andersen avait, au XIXème siècle, donné, puis ôté la vie. G. L. " C'était une drôle de lumière ! Il semblait à petite fille qu'elle était assise devant un grand poêle de fer à boules de cuivre et tuyau de cuivre ; le feu brûlait délicieusement, il réchauffait très bien. Non, que se passait-il ?... La petite fille étendait déjà les pieds pour les réchauffer... quand la flamme s'éteignit. Le poêle disparut... la fillette resta avec un petit bout d'allumette brûlée à la main ... " Hans-Christian Andersen

Download or read book I Remember written by Georges Perec and published by Gallic Books. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Perec is serious fun' The Guardian Both an affectionate portrait of mid-century Paris and a daring memoir, Georges Perec's I Remember is now available in English to UK readers for the first time, with an introduction by David Bellos. In 480 numbered statements, all beginning identically with 'I remember', Perec records a stream of individual memories of a childhood in post-war France, while posing wider questions about memory and nostalgia. As playful and puzzling as the best of his novels, I Remember is an ode to life: the ordinary, the extraordinary, and the sometimes trivial, as seen through the eyes of the irreplaceable Georges Perec.

Download or read book The Art of Asking Your Boss for a Raise written by Georges Perec and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2017-01-17 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Darkly funny account of the office worker’s mindset by the celebrated French novelist A long-suffering employee in a big corporation has summoned up the courage to ask for a raise. But as he runs through the looming encounter in his mind, his neuroses come to the surface: What is the best day to see the boss? What if he doesn’t offer you a seat when you go into his office? The Art of Asking Your Boss for a Raise is a hilarious account of an employee losing his identity—and possibly his sanity—as he tries to put on the most acceptable face for the corporate world,with its rigid hierarchies and hostility to new ideas. If he follows a certain course of action, so this logic goes, he will succeed—but, in accepting these conditions, are his attempts to challenge his world of work doomed from the outset? Neurotic and pessimistic, yet endearing, comic and never less than entertaining, Perec’s Woody Allen-esque underling presents an acute and penetrating vision of the world of office work, as pertinent today as it was when it was written in 1968.
