Book excerpt: This is an annotated version of the book1. contains an updated biography of the author at the end of the book for a better understanding of the text.2. This book has been checked and corrected for spelling errorsThis is written from memory, unfortunately. If I could have brought withme the material I so carefully prepared, this would be a very differentstory. Whole books full of notes, carefully copied records, firsthanddescriptions, and the pictures--that's the worst loss. We had somebird's-eyes of the cities and parks; a lot of lovely views of streets,of buildings, outside and in, and some of those gorgeous gardens, and,most important of all, of the women themselves.Nobody will ever believe how they looked. Descriptions aren't any goodwhen it comes to women, and I never was good at descriptions anyhow. Butit's got to be done somehow; the rest of the world needs to know aboutthat country.I haven't said where it was for fear some self-appointed missionaries,or traders, or land-greedy expansionists, will take it upon themselvesto push in. They will not be wanted, I can tell them that, and will fareworse than we did if they do find it.It began this way. There were three of us, classmates and friends--TerryO. Nicholson (we used to call him the Old Nick, with good reason), JeffMargrave, and I, Vandyck Jennings.We had known each other years and years, and in spite of our differenceswe had a good deal in common. All of us were interested in science.Terry was rich enough to do as he pleased. His great aim wasexploration. He used to make all kinds of a row because there wasnothing left to explore now, only patchwork and filling in, he said. Hefilled in well enough--he had a lot of talents--great on mechanics andelectricity. Had all kinds of boats and motorcars, and was one of thebest of our airmen.We never could have done the thing at all without Terry.Jeff Margrave was born to be a poet, a botanist--or both--but his folkspersuaded him to be a doctor instead. He was a good one, for his age,but his real interest was in what he loved to call "the wonders ofscience."As for me, sociology's my major. You have to back that up with a lot ofother sciences, of course. I'm interested in them all.Terry was strong on facts--geography and meteorology and those; Jeffcould beat him any time on biology, and I didn't care what it was theytalked about, so long as it connected with human life, somehow. Thereare few things that don't.We three had a chance to join a big scientific expedition. They neededa doctor, and that gave Jeff an excuse for dropping his just openingpractice; they needed Terry's experience, his machine, and his money;and as for me, I got in through Terry's influence.The expedition was up among the thousand tributaries and enormoushinterland of a great river, up where the maps had to be made, savagedialects studied, and all manner of strange flora and fauna expected.But this story is not about that expedition. That was only the mereststarter for ours.My interest was first roused by talk among our guides. I'm quick atlanguages, know a good many, and pick them up readily. What with thatand a really good interpreter we took with us, I made out quite a fewlegends and folk myths of these scattered tribes.And as we got farther and farther upstream, in a dark tangle of rivers,lakes, morasses, and dense forests, with here and there an unexpectedlong spur running out from the big mountains beyond, I noticed that moreand more of these savages had a story about a strange and terrible WomanLand in the high distance.

This book was released on 2019-04-08 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlock the more straightforward side of Herland with this concise and insightful summary and analysis! This engaging summary presents an analysis of Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, which tells the story of an imagined society of women who live entirely apart from men and reproduce asexually. Their country (the Herland of the title) is harmonious and highly developed, with a strong sense of community and widespread happiness, which shocks the three men who have taken it upon themselves to visit it. This clash of cultures reveals a series of unexamined prejudices around gender and results in drastic changes in the lives of everyone involved. Charlotte Perkins Gilman is perhaps best-known for her short story “The Yellow Wallpaper”; feminist critics’ interest in this text spurred a critical appraisal of the rest of her work, including Herland and its sequel With Her in Ourland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HERLAND is a utopian novel from 1915, written by feminist Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The book describes an isolated society composed entirely of women, who reproduce via parthenogenesis. The result is an ideal social order: free of war, conflict, and domination. The story is told from the perspective of Vandyck "Van" Jennings, a student of sociology who, along with two friends (Terry O. Nicholson and Jeff Margrave), forms an expedition party to explore an area of uncharted land where it is rumored lives a society consisting entirely of women. The three friends do not entirely believe the rumors because they are unable to think of a way how human reproduction could occur without males. The men speculate about what a society of women would be like, each guessing differently based on the stereotype of women which he holds most dear: Jeff regarding women as things to be served and protected; Terry viewing them as things to be conquered and won. When the explorers reach their destination, they proceed with caution, hiding the biplane they arrive in, and trying to keep themselves hidden in the forests that border the land. They are quickly found by three young women who they realize are observing them from the treetops. After attempting to catch the girls with trickery, the men end up chasing the young women towards a town or village. The women outrun them easily and disappear among the houses, which, Van notes are exceptionally well made and attractive. After meeting the first inhabitants of this new land (which Van names Herland) the men proceed more cautiously, noting that the girls they met were strong, agile, and completely unafraid. Their caution is warranted because as the men enter the town where the girls disappeared, they become surrounded by a large group of women who march them towards an official looking building. . .

Download or read book In the Time of the Butterflies written by Julia Alvarez and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2010-01-12 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2024, internationally bestselling author and literary icon Julia Alvarez's In the Time of the Butterflies is "beautiful, heartbreaking and alive ... a lyrical work of historical fiction based on the story of the Mirabal sisters, revolutionary heroes who had opposed and fought against Trujillo." (Concepción de León, New York Times) Alvarez’s new novel, The Cemetery of Untold Stories, is coming April 2, 2024. Pre-order now! It is November 25, 1960, and three beautiful sisters have been found near their wrecked Jeep at the bottom of a 150-foot cliff on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. The official state newspaper reports their deaths as accidental. It does not mention that a fourth sister lives. Nor does it explain that the sisters were among the leading opponents of Gen. Rafael Leónidas Trujillo’s dictatorship. It doesn’t have to. Everybody knows of Las Mariposas—the Butterflies. In this extraordinary novel, the voices of all four sisters--Minerva, Patria, María Teresa, and the survivor, Dedé--speak across the decades to tell their own stories, from secret crushes to gunrunning, and to describe the everyday horrors of life under Trujillo’s rule. Through the art and magic of Julia Alvarez’s imagination, the martyred Butterflies live again in this novel of courage and love, and the human costs of political oppression. "Alvarez helped blaze the trail for Latina authors to break into the literary mainstream, with novels like In the Time of the Butterflies and How the García Girls Lost Their Accents winning praise from critics and gracing best-seller lists across the Americas."—Francisco Cantú, The New York Times Book Review "This Julia Alvarez classic is a must-read for anyone of Latinx descent." —Popsugar.com "A gorgeous and sensitive novel . . . A compelling story of courage, patriotism and familial devotion." —People "Shimmering . . . Valuable and necessary." —Los Angeles Times "A magnificent treasure for all cultures and all time.” —St. Petersburg Times "Alvarez does a remarkable job illustrating the ruinous effect the 30-year dictatorship had on the Dominican Republic and the very real human cost it entailed."—Cosmopolitan.com
