Download or read book Her Kind written by Jane Cahill and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 1995-11-29 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medea betrayed her father and left her homeland for the love of Jason. Then when he abandoned her, she murdered her children. But did she? And what of Clytemnestra, the conniving adulteress? For ten years she plotted the murder of her husband Agamemnon, King of Mycenae and Conqueror of Troy. How would she have told her story? The Greek myths as we know them were told for men by men. Yet they were the culmination of a long oral tradition in which both men and women shared. Using extant ancient literary sources as her guide, including the works of Homer, Aeschylus, Euripides and Apollodorus, Jane Cahill reconstructs the stories as they might have been told to women by women. These are stories of wronged women, inspired women, determined women, tender women. Medusa tells how it is to know that one look at her face will turn a man to stone, to be hated and feared all the time. Jocasta, Queen of Thebes, confesses her love for the young man who came to save her city from the Sphinx—her son, Oedipus. Each story is accompanied by extensive notes which discuss the ancient sources, explain relevant Greek concepts and customs, and serve as a guide to further reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paths of two women from different walks of life intersect amid counterculture of the 1960s in this haunting and provocative novel from the National Book Award-winning author of The Friend Named a Best Book of the Year by the San Francisco Chronicle and the Christian Science Monitor Sigrid Nunez's The Last of Her Kind introduces two women who meet as freshmen on the Columbia campus in 1968. Georgette George does not know what to make of her brilliant, idealistic roommate, Ann Drayton, and her obsessive disdain for the ruling class into which she was born. She is mortified by Ann's romanticization of the underprivileged class, which Georgette herself is hoping college will enable her to escape. After the violent fight that ends their friendship, Georgette wants only to forget Ann and to turn her attention to the troubled runaway kid sister who has reappeared after years on the road. Then, in 1976, Ann is convicted of murder. At first, Ann's fate appears to be the inevitable outcome of her belief in the moral imperative to "make justice" in a world where "there are no innocent white people." But, searching for answers to the riddle of this friend of her youth, Georgette finds more complicated and mysterious forces at work. The novel's narrator Georgette illuminates the terrifying life of this difficult, doomed woman, and in the process discovers how much their early encounter has determined her own path, and why, decades later, as she tells us, "I have never stopped thinking about her."

Download or read book Her Kind of Case written by Jeanne Winer and published by Bancroft Press. This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Her Kind of Case is a legal drama that centers on Lee Isaacs, a female defense attorney on the cusp of turning 60, who, out of curiosity, determination, and desire for a big, even impossible, professional challenge, chooses to take on a tough murder case in which a largely uncooperative young man is accused of helping kill a gay gang member. This beautifully written novel, which earned a starred review from Kirkus, is built around not only a gradually resolving mystery, but by fully fleshed-out characters, particularly the strong-willed and sharp-witted Lee. It is a breath of fresh air to see someone of Lee’s standing achieve career and personal success as an older single woman who grieves the recent loss of her husband, but continues her daily routine of law and karate, fighting tooth and nail to prove her client not guilty. (Note: The author, Jeanne Winer, is herself a longtime defense attorney in Boulder, Colorado, and a black-belt karate expert.)

Download or read book Ferdinand The Man with the Kind Heart written by Irmgard Keun and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last novel from the acclaimed author of The Artificial Silk Girl, this 1950 classic paints a delightfully shrewd portrait of postwar German society. Upon his release from a prisoner-of-war camp, Ferdinand Timpe returns somewhat uneasily to civilian life in Cologne. Having survived against the odds, he is now faced with a very different sort of dilemma: How to get rid of his fiancée? Although he certainly doesn’t love the mild-mannered Luise, Ferdinand is too considerate to break off the engagement himself, so he sets about finding her a suitable replacement husband—no easy task given Luise’s high standards and those of her father, formerly a proud middle-ranking Nazi official. Featuring a lively cast of characters—from Ferdinand’s unscrupulous landlady with her black-market schemes to his beguiling cousin Johanna and the many loves of her life—Ferdinand captures a distinct moment in Germany’s history, when its people were coming to terms with World War II and searching for a way forward. In Irmgard Keun’s effervescent prose, the story feels remarkably modern.

Download or read book Simple Honorable Man written by Conrad Richter and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This novel by one of America’s foremost writers—and perhaps the most truly American of all—is rock-based in values and virtues which most of the time seem to have disappeared from our fiction, if not from American life itself. The story of a storekeeper turned minister, A Simple Honorable Man is the fictional record of a life spent in the service of others, a life bringing the power of simple goodnessto obscure, sometimes earthy and violent people. Harry Donner (the father in Mr. Richter’s previous novel, The Waters of Kronos) stands in this novel as a man of integrity engaged in the day-by-day activities of son, husband, father, friend, and counselor in an age when home and family exerted moral conviction and social authority. Written with Conrad Richter’s customary grace of style and purity of vision, A Simple Honorable Man joins the long list of his moving and evocative portrayals in fiction of American life.

Book excerpt: They say in death, your life flashes before your eyes like pictures in an old movie reel. That had never happened for her. Keeping her resurrection a secret is a matter of life and death for demon hunter Sophie Sinclair. When a hunt goes sideways and a chance encounter on the side of the road ends in a passionate lip-lock with a sexy stranger, Sophie sets off a sequence of events that further puts her secrets, her ex-lover’s life, and her heart in danger. Ex-homicide detective turned private investigator, Ryan Campbell, is far from being a stranger to Sophie. Sophie might not remember the night she died in his arms, but Ryan sure as hell can’t forget. Her long hair, the color of night, had been short when he held her as she choked on her own blood. And her eyes, the deepest blue. Life slowly faded from their depths as he asked for her name in that drab alley two years ago. Damn it, why did he return her kiss? He didn’t go kissing stranded women on the side of the road, and definitely not a woman who should be dead. But to discover the answers to how Sophie defied the laws of life and death, Ryan offers her a steamy proposition, unknowingly jeopardizing his life and his heart. How far will Ryan and Sophie go for duty and freedom, family and love? Will the truth set them free? Or will Ryan’s betrayal rip Sophie’s heart to pieces?
