Download or read book Three Tales from an Endless Journey written by Shiladitya Chatterjee and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2020-01-23 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This novel consists of three separate stories from widely different periods of time. The first is set in ancient India, in the fictional kingdom of Thaneshwar whose nobility is engaged in advancing altruistic living for its citizens but faces an existential threat from a sinister adversary, whose defeat is the protagonist’s main task. The second takes place in the near contemporary India of the 1970s where a young woman civil servant appears in a district for her training and is immediately immersed in its difficult problems and dangerous and volatile environment. The backdrop of the last is the future India of the 2050s where a Japanese woman undertakes a journey to India across the Himalayas in pursuit of both a public mission for peace in Asia as well as a secret personal quest. The three stories deal with the similarity of choices faced by humanity in every epoch and age that requires resolution according to its best principled judgments and prevailing values and philosophies. The stories also discuss the continuing quest of individuals over the ages to overcome their fragile existence by immersing themselves in strengthening the future of humankind.

Download or read book The Storytellers Journey written by Joseph Daniel Sobol and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the seed of The Storytellers' Journey, Joseph Daniel Sobol's history of the past thirty years of American storytelling. In this compelling examination of the contemporary search for myth, Sobol explores the social and psychological roots of the storytelling revival and the ever-resurgent power of the storyteller. Drawing on interviews with dozens of storytellers around the country, Sobol paints the revival as part of a larger process of cultural revitalization. He traces the growth of the preeminent revival organization, the National Association for the Preservation and Perpetuation of Storytelling (NAPPS), and details the individual passions, the organizational politics, and the economic, social, and mythic forces that have combined to transform a ragtag assemblage of enthusiasts into a national and international network of arts professionals. A seemingly chance encounter between a restlessly ambitious high school teacher and a coonhunting tale on the car radio sets off a chain of inspirations that changes the face of a small southern town, touches lives across America, and revitalizes a homely but treasured art form.

Stories: Children's stories can be longer stories than fairy tales, with more elaborate plots and more developed characters. These stories can address a variety of themes, from fantasy and adventure to everyday life, allowing children to immerse themselves in different worlds and situations, fostering their curiosity and understanding of the world around them. Fables: Children's fables are short stories featuring anthropomorphic animals (animals that act and speak like humans) or elements of nature that convey a clear moral lesson.

Stories: A story is the narration of a fact, real or imaginary, that is done through oral or written language. In other words, a story is an account, usually brief, of a series of events that occurred in reality or in the imagination.
