Book excerpt: A TIME Best Children's Book of 2019! A Chicago Public Library 2019 Best of the Best Book! *"This minimalistic masterpiece is a must-read for all ages." --School Library Journal (starred review!) A quirky, cautionary tale from beloved New York Times bestselling picture book creator Oliver Jeffers! There was once a man who believed he owned everything and set out to survey what was his. "You are mine," Fausto said to the flower, the sheep, and the mountain, and they all bowed before him. But they were not enough for Fausto, so he conquered a boat and set out to sea . . . Combining bold art and powerful prose, and working in traditional lithographic printmaking techniques for the first time, world-renowned talent Oliver Jeffers has created a poignant modern-day fable to touch the hearts of adults and children alike. Praise for The Fate of Fausto: "Jeffers paints Fausto and the objects of his desire with the nonchalant finesse he is known for and in the richly saturated colors he generally favors... Jeffers delivers swift justice in a few concluding words that make for an ending that satisfies for being both fair-minded and irrevocable."--New York Times Book Review "Boldly conceived and gracefully executed."--Publishers Weekly "A parable sure to spark lively discussions." --Booklist "A cautionary fable on the banality of belligerence." --Kirkus Reviews

Book excerpt: A prep school janitor springs into action when terrorists invade his school and kidnap his son in this thriller by the acclaimed author of Desperate. Jake Dent's dreams of baseball glory fell apart in a drunk-driving incident, along with his marriage. But a popular survivalist blog helped restore his sense of control. Now Jake is an avid Doomsday Prepper, raising his diabetic son, Andy, to be ready for anything. But Andy has a secret even his father never saw coming. A student at the prestigious Pepperell Academy where Jake works as a custodian, Andy is part of a computer club that redistributes money from the obscenely wealthy to the needy. But this time, they've stolen from the wrong people: a vicious drug cartel that is coming to get its money back. Staging a distraction, the cartel infiltrates the school, taking Andy and his friends hostage one by one. But hidden inside the school's tunnels is Jake, with his stockpile of weapons and supplies. He knows that soon the killing will start, and his training will be put to the ultimate test. Because in the brutal, lawless struggle that is about to ensue, he's the last best chance these students—including his son—have of getting out alive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: José Martín Félix de Arrate Acosta; nació en la Habana en 1701, fue historiador y político. Vinculado por lazos de consanguinidad a las más prestigiosas familias de la oligarquía habanera de la etapa. Se le considera como el primer historiador de Cuba por muchos ilustrados cubanos. Fue Regidor perpetuo del ayuntamiento de la Habana. Es el autor de Llave del Nuevo Mundo que constituye una muestra acabada de criollismo y modernidad, de la cual no se ha encontrado el manuscrito original y que refleja el modo de percibir Cuba, sus poblaciones y recursos sintetizando casi dos siglos de colonización española. Llave del Nuevo Mundo es una descripción completa de la sociedad cubana del siglo XVIII. La obra abarca cinco puntos: geografía y naturaleza, economía, unciones de las autoridades y magistraturas, cronología civil y eclesiástica, y una crónica cultural. «Por ser resguardo y conservación de los dilatados dominios en la vasta jurisdicción de la América [decidiose...] distinguir y conceder a La Habana, llamándola Llave del Nuevo Mundo y Antemural de las Indias Occidentales.» José Martín Félix de Arrate
Download or read book Goethe s Faust and Cultural Memory written by Lorna Fitzsimmons and published by Lehigh University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-16 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an interdisciplinary collection of essays examining Goethe’s Faust and its derivatives in European, North American, and South American cultural contexts. It takes both a canonic and archival approach to Faust in studies of adaptations, performances, appropriations, sources, and the translation of the drama contextualized within cultural environments ranging from Gnosticism to artificial intelligence. Lorna Fitzsimmons’ introduction sets this scholarship within a critical framework that draws together work on intertextuality and memory. Alan Corkhill looks at the ways in which the authority of the word is critiqued in Faust and Marlowe’s Dr. Faustus.Robert E. Norton revisits the question of Herder as Faust and the early twentieth-century context in which the claim resonated. J. M. van der Laan explores the symbolic possibilities of the mysterious Eternal-Feminine. Frederick Burwick examines Coleridge’s critique of Goethe’s Faust and his own plans for a Faustian tale on Michael Scott. Andrew Bush demonstrates how Estanislao del Campo’s poem “Fausto” retells Gounod’s opera in the sociolect of Argentine gauchos. David G. John examines complete productions of Goethe’s Faust by Peter Stein and the Goetheanum. Jörg Esleben surveys contemporary Canadian interplay with Goethe’s Faust. Susanne Ledanff discusses the significance of Goethe’s Faust for Werner Fritsch’s avant-garde “Theater of the Now.” Bruce J. MacLennan examines Faust from the perspective of a researcher in several Faustian technologies: artificial intelligence, autonomous robotics, artificial life, and artificial morphogenesis.

Download or read book The Provincial Deputation in Mexico written by Nettie Lee Benson and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-05-16 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexico and the United States each have a constitution and a federal system of government. This fact has led many historians to assume that the Mexican system of government, established in the 1820s, is an imitation of the U.S. model. But it is not. In this interpretation of the independence movement, Nettie Lee Benson tells the true story of Mexico's transition from colonial status to a federal state. She traces the Mexican government's beginning to events in Spain in 1808–1810, when provincial juntas, or deputations, were established to oppose Napoleon's French rule and govern the country during the Spanish monarch's imprisonment. These provincial deputations proved so popular that ultimately they became the established form of government throughout the provinces of Spain and its New World dominions. It was the provincial deputation, not the United States federal system, that provided the model for the state legislative bodies that were eventually formed after Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821. This finding—the result of years of painstaking archival research—strongly confirms the independence of Mexico's political development from U.S. influence. Its importance to a study of Mexican history cannot be overstated.
