Download or read book Appetite City written by William Grimes and published by North Point Press. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York is the greatest restaurant city the world has ever seen. In Appetite City, the former New York Times restaurant critic William Grimes leads us on a grand historical tour of New York's dining culture. Beginning with the era when simple chophouses and oyster bars dominated the culinary scene, he charts the city's transformation into the world restaurant capital it is today. Appetite City takes us on a unique and delectable journey, from the days when oysters and turtle were the most popular ingredients in New York cuisine, through the era of the fifty-cent French and Italian table d'hôtes beloved of American "Bohemians," to the birth of Times Square—where food and entertainment formed a partnership that has survived to this day. Enhancing his tale with more than one hundred photographs, rare menus, menu cards, and other curios and illustrations (many never before seen), Grimes vividly describes the dining styles, dishes, and restaurants succeeding one another in an unfolding historical panorama: the deluxe ice cream parlors of the 1850s, the boisterous beef-and-beans joints along Newspaper Row in the 1890s, the assembly-line experiment of the Automat, the daring international restaurants of the 1939 World's Fair, and the surging multicultural city of today. By encompassing renowned establishments such as Delmonico's and Le Pavillon as well as the Bowery restaurants where a meal cost a penny, he reveals the ways in which the restaurant scene mirrored the larger forces shaping New York, giving us a deliciously original account of the history of America's greatest city. Rich with incident, anecdote, and unforgettable personalities, Appetite City offers the dedicated food lover or the casual diner an irresistible menu of the city's most savory moments.

Download or read book The Insulted Ones written by Adrià Guinart and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gallery of characters lost in their sexual identity. Passages of their lives; how they try to adapt and the problems that society and themselves pose. Everything is told by a narrator who tries to be neutral but cannot achieve it. She has the need of intervening, and symbolises Time passing, dragging them to the most absolute loneliness, to the most devastating old age. The story of a drunkard in a bar terrace and the boy who thinks he has fallen in love with him. A betrayal marks a separation, a farewell. Discovering that your parents can hide the same secrets one thinks he would never discover in the most sordid way. The desolation of sex with nothing in return, not even a name to remember. And Hope as a mere witness, kept back by time, by the no-action, fighting to give them the opportunity that life denies them. The gathering of them all in a very special yard; the yard of the insulted ones, of those who had nothing more than a stereotype, a mark which is applied but never erased.

Download or read book The Speech of the Negros Congos of Panama written by John M. Lipski and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1989 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The negros congos of Panama's Caribbean coast are a unique cultural manifestation of Afro-Hispanic contact. During Carnival season each year, this group reenacts dramatic events which affected black slaves in colonial Panama, performs dances and pantomimes, and enforces a set of ritual laws' and punishments'. A key component of congo games is a special dialect, the hablar en congos, which is employed by a subset of the congos in each settlement. The present study investigates the congo dialect from a linguistic point of view along two dimensions. The first involves deliberate phonetic, syntactic, and semantic distortion as part of the overall spirit of of burlesque and ridicule that surrounds Panamanian Carnival. The second is the retention of earlier, partially creolized Afro-Hispanic language forms which may still be extracted from contemporary congo speech. These Afro-Hispanic vestiges are of key importance to monogenetic theories of Afro-Romance creolization as Panamanian congo speech provides examples of unique creolized Spanish.

Download or read book Los Sufis written by Idries Shah and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2020-06-20 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los Sufis es la mejor introduccion jamas escrita sobre la escuela filosofica y mistica tradicionalmente asociada con el mundo islamico.Potente, conciso e intensamente estimulante, resume mas de mil anos de pensamiento oriental - el producto de algunas de las mentes mas ilustres de toda la historia humana - en una sola obra, presentando ideas atemporales en un estilo fresco y contemporaneo.Cuando el libro se publico originalmente en ingles, en 1964, lanzo a su autor, Idries Shah, a la escena internacional, atrayendo la atencion de pensadores y escritores como J. D. Salinger, la Premio Nobel Doris Lessing, Ted Hughes, Claudio Naranjo y Robert Graves.Tambien introdujo al mundo occidental nuevos conceptos que ahora son comunes, como la importancia psicologica de la atencion y el humor, el uso de historias tradicionales como instrumentos de ensenanza (lo que Shah denomino "e;cuentos ensenantes"e;), y la deuda historica de Occidente con el Medio Oriente en materia cientifica, literaria y filosofica.Como introduccion a las muchas docenas de libros Sufis que Shah escribio despues, es insuperable: este mismo libro abre una ventana a una comunidad de gente (Los Sufis mismos) cuyo sistema de pensamiento y accion se ha enfocado durante mucho tiempo en el avance de la humanidad toda, y cuyas ideas sobre los individuos y la sociedad, su proposito y direccion, deben ser comprendidas y ponderadas... hoy mas que nunca.
