Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Hilda's Secrets, Albin and Hilda begin their new life in Chicago. As they are starting and raising their family, Hilda believes she must keep some secrets in order to preserve her marriage and the life she has dreamed of with Albin. Their story follows three generations of the family through the Roaring Twenties, The Great Depression, and two World Wars. They experience the same challenges, joys, struggles and successes encountered by the other immigrant families in the sometimes booming, sometimes depressed, but always interesting city of Chicago during the first half of the 20th century. Revealed with humor, pathos, and deep personal emotion, the human drama of the family's lives and relationships, and those of their many friends, unfolds during times of great social, political, and technological change. Tragic events and human weakness could combine to keep them together - or tear them apart. Will the love affair between Albin and Hilda, rooted in their traditional mother-country values, let them live happily ever after? This is Rosie Atkinson's second book following her debut novella, Albin's Letters.

Book excerpt: Hilda’s Secret By: Judith Dring In the aftermath of World War II, eighty-five thousand “displaced” people were in refugee camps scattered all over Europe. Many sought to start a new life away from the tragedy of destruction and loss. Countries like Canada and Australia offered the promise of a “new start” and a chance to start life over. This is a story of a Latvian girl who found love in the isolation of the West Australian Wheatbelt. However, no one really escapes the past and when a life is lost, an inquisitive Australian lass is reluctantly recruited to solve the mystery. The Australian girl, Sally, has herself recently returned to her homeland after a failed love affair in Africa. With dogged determination to find the truth, Sally is met with many challenges along the way. She falls in love with a wealthy landholder who is a suspect in the mysterious death.

Book The Half vanished Structure

Download or read book The Half vanished Structure written by Magnus Ullén and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2004 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes issue with the tendency in twentieth-century Hawthorne-criticism to blur the distinction between symbolism and allegory. Rejecting the long-standing notion that Hawthorne is a symbolist in allegorical disguise, Ullén argues that allegory is the key to understanding how religion, sexuality, aesthetics and politics are interwoven in Hawthorne's writings. The study presents a model for allegorical interpretation of general applicability, which is brought to bear on each of Hawthorne's mature romances, and on the oft-neglected Wonder Books written for children. An unparalleled analysis of the formal intricacies of Hawthorne's writings, this book is an eloquent plea for the necessity of grounding ideological analysis in aesthetical considerations.

  • Author : Hilda Hilst
  • Publisher : Melville House
  • Release : 2014-04-29
  • ISBN : 1612193463
  • Pages : 98 pages

Download or read book With My Dog Eyes written by Hilda Hilst and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hilda Hilst (1930–2004) was one of the greatest Brazilian writers of the twentieth century, but her books have languished untranslated, in part because of their formally radical nature. This translation of With My Dog-Eyes brings a crucial work from her oeuvre into English for the first time. With My Dog-Eyes is an account of an unraveling—of sanity, of language . . . After experiencing a vision of what he calls “a clear-cut unhoped-for,” college professor Amós Keres struggles to reconcile himself with his life as a father, a husband, and a member of the university with its “meetings, asskissers, pointless rivalries, gratuitous resentments, jealous talk, megalomanias.” A stunning book by a master of the avant-garde.

Book Restoring Paradise

  • Author : Arthur Versluis
  • Publisher : State University of New York Press
  • Release : 2012-02-01
  • ISBN : 9780791484852
  • Pages : 204 pages

Download or read book Restoring Paradise written by Arthur Versluis and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on how spiritual initiation takes place in Western esoteric religious, literary, and artistic traditions from antiquity to the present, Restoring Paradise provides an introduction to Western esotericism, including early modern esoteric movements like alchemy, Christian theosophy, and Rosicrucianism. The author argues that European and American literature and art often entail a written transmission of spiritual knowledge in which writing itself works to transmute consciousness, to generate, provoke, or convey spiritual awakening. He focuses on several important figures whose work has not received the attention it deserves, including American writer and Imagist poet H.D. (Hilda Doolittle) and British painter Cecil Collins, among others. While Arthur Versluis presents a new way of understanding Western esotericism in a contemporary light, above all he has crafted a book about knowing, and about how we come to know, and what "knowing" by way of literature and language actually means.
