Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Stunning and brutally powerful, "one of the most important novels of our time" (The New York Times) tells the story of a man named Farragut, his crime and punishment, and his struggle to remain a man in a universe bent on beating him back into childhood. In a nightmarish prison, out of Farragut's suffering and astonishing salvation, Pulitzer Prize-winning author John Cheever crafted his most powerful work of fiction. Only Cheever could deliver these grand themes with the irony, unforced eloquence, and exhilarating humor that make Falconer such a triumphant work of the moral imagination.

Download or read book The Prison Poems of Nikolai Bukharin written by Nikolai Bukharin and published by Prison Manuscripts. This book was released on 2018-06-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nikolai Bukharin (1888-1938), an original Bolshevik leader and a founder of the Soviet state, spent the last year of his life imprisoned by Stalin, awaiting a trial and eventual execution. Remarkably during that time, from March 1937 to March 1938, Bukharin wrote four book-length manuscripts by hand in his prison cell. Seventy years later, The Prison Poems is the last of the four prison manuscripts, which include How It All Began: The Prison Novel and Socialism and Its Culture, to be published, allowing readers to grasp Bukharin's vision in its full extent. Bukharin organized the nearly 180 poems in this volume, written from June to November 1937, into several series. One dealing with forerunners to the 1917 Russian Revolution and another focusing on the Russian Civil War contain commentary not found in the other prison manuscripts. The same is true of the "Lyrical Intermezzo" poems for and about Anna Larina, his young wife, from whom he was separated by his imprisonment. This first English translation of Bukharin's Prison Poems is a compelling read, evidencing the powerful intersection of politics and art.
Download or read book Dr John WorldPeace JD Prison Poems 2008 written by John WorldPeace and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-27 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2008, I was in prison as a political prisoner. I acquired my Peace Advocate bona fides there. The catalyst was my running for governor of Texas 2000-2002 within and against the Democratic Party of Texas. I have other books about that to be published.These poems are a companion to my prison journal which will be published soon.I was in a strange environment in 2008, one people fear. I did not deliberately seek a jail term. The Judicial system is very corrupt and unpeaceful. My expertise on this suject is grounded in 20 years as a practicing attorney in Texas.When I entered jail, I determined that I would not waste a year of my life and I would come out with something tangible. What I came out with were about 3000 pages on 250 word pages; several books, poems, a jail journal, my autobiography and I read 55 books. I really took advantage of every minute of my time in jail.The last 5 months I was in isolation with only 13 hours out of my cell. Which is illegal. I did not have to deal with the general population. It was a contract prison where there was not enough to eat and with none of the rights guaranteed in a non contract federal prison. Contract prisons are just more political corruption.The poems are about what was going on mentally within my head. My jail journal is about what was going on physically which included abusive mind control and harassment from the guards. The first six months I had my own room in a 24 unit cell block of lawyers and bad cops who had to be kept out of the general population. The last six months, I was moved to South Texas to a 500 man unit contract prison. I was kept in solitary confinement or administrative segregation as they politically correctly call it. I was in a 10 x 10 room with a toilet, sink, mirror, shower and bed. It was always cold in prison to keep the tension down with the inmates. I was fed through a 6 x 15 inch slot in a steel door.For those without a desire to read or write, life is hell in prison. Extremely boring. Not bad or hard, just mentally oppressive.I was born in 1948, in Houston, Texas. I presently live in Albuquerque, New MexicoIn October 1970, I wrote my first poem of the poems that I am publishing. Almost 50 years since then, I have written about 2400 poems. Most of the poems could be looked at as a tiny biography of my life; one-page snap-shots of what I was thinking or experiencing at the moment over 50 years.I have also published selections of the poems. In June 2018, I began to self-publish the selections of poems and all the poems I have ever written to date in chronological order using Amazon's self-publishing software. There will be about 30 poem books in total. I did not publish the various books in chronological order by year written. I will continue to write poems and in fact, will probably increase the volume of poems over the next 50 years. I also intend to pick a theme like Santa Fe, New Mexico and write a book about my impressions there. The number of possible subjects is infinite.I have also published a book of Haiku which are 3 line poems with 5, 7, 5 syllables per line. I would expect to publish a book of these poems annually and also some theme books of Haiku.I do not force my poems. I don't write unless I feel inspired. I have no desire to set a world record for a number of poems written in a lifetime. Working toward some number of poems would crash the whole endeavor with boredom. The poems are written in a couple of minutes, 2-10, then put away in a binder by year. I have lost less than a dozen poems over the years. Usually within a very few minutes after writing the poem I have no real memory of what I wrote. However, if I reread it, I will have a familiarity with what I wrote. The changes I make when publishing are very few.

Download or read book The Kingis Quair and Other Prison Poems written by Mary-Jo Arn and published by Medieval Institute Publications. This book was released on 2005-05-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readers have noticed that the fifteenth century saw a remarkable flourishing of poems written in conditions of physical captivity or on the subject of imprisonment. The largest body of this poetry is from the pen of Charles of Valois, duke of Orleans, who was captured by the English at the battle of Agincourt in 1415 and not released until 1440. The longest single poem on the subject is James I of Scotland's The Kingis Quair, purportedly written at the time of his release from an eighteen-year imprisonment in England .This volume reflects the wide scope of these prison poems by bringing together a new edition of The Kingis Quair, a selection from Charles d'Orleans' Fortunes Stabilnes, a poem by George Ashby, who was imprisoned in London's Fleet prison, and the poems of two other poets, both anonymous, who wrote about physical and/or emotional imprisonment.

Download or read book The complete poetical works and letters of John Keats written by J. Keats and published by Рипол Классик. This book was released on 1899 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the few short years of his life John Keats created lasting images of beauty. He wrote with a firm touch, with rich yet controlled imagination, with a joyous delight in nature. He possessed an instant alchemy by which he transmuted all sights and sounds into poetry. Voracious reading set him standards rather than furnished him models, and he strove to perfect his poetry through constant creative revision. He pleaded for freedom of imagination as opposed to the constraints of the school of Pope. He traveled widely in a futile search for health. Finally, in Rome, at the age of twenty-five, John Keats died of consumption. -- From publisher's description.
