Download or read book A Life of My Own written by Claire Tomalin and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esteemed biographer and legendary literary editor Claire Tomalin's stunning memoir of a life in literature “[An] intelligent and humane book…There is genuine appeal in watching this indomitable woman continue to chase the next draft of herself." —Dwight Garner, The New York Times In A Life of My Own, the renowned biographer of Charles Dickens, Samuel Pepys, and Thomas Hardy, and former literary editor for the Sunday Times reflects on a remarkable life surrounded by writers and books. From discovering books as a form of escapism during her parents' difficult divorce, to pursuing poetry at Cambridge, where she meets and marries Nicholas Tomalin, the ambitious and striving journalist, Tomalin always steered herself towards a passionate involvement with art. She relives the glittering London literary scene of the 1960s, during which Tomalin endured her husband's constant philandering and numerous affairs, and revisits the satisfaction of being commissioned to write her first book, a biography of the early feminist Mary Wollstonecraft. In biography, she found her vocation. However, when Nick is killed in 1973 while reporting in Israel, the mother of four put aside her writing to assume the position of literary editor of the New Statesman. Her career soared when she later moved to the Sunday Times, and she tells with dazzling candor of this time in her life spent working alongside the literary lights of 1970s London. But, the pain of her young daughter's suicide and the challenges of caring for her disabled son as a single mother test Claire's strength and persistence. It is not until later in life that she is able to return to what gave her such purpose decades ago, writing biographies, and finds enduring love with her now-husband, playwright Michael Frayn. Marked by honesty, humility, and grace, rendered in the most elegant of prose, A Life of My Own is a portrait of a life, replete with joy and heartbreak. With quiet insight and unsparing clarity, Tomalin writes autobiography at its most luminous, delivering an astonishing and emotionally-taut masterpiece.

Download or read book Quest for Kim written by Peter Hopkirk and published by John Murray. This book was released on 2012-02-16 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for all those who love Kim, that masterpiece of Indian life in which Kipling immortalized the Great Game. Fascinated since childhood by this strange tale of an orphan boy's recruitment into the Indian secret service, Peter Hopkirk here retraces Kim's footsteps across Kipling's India to see how much of it remains. To attempt this with a fictional hero would normally be pointless. But Kim is different. For much of this Great Game classic was inspired by actual people and places, thus blurring the line between the real and the imaginary. Less a travel book than a literary detective story, this is the intriguing story of Peter Hopkirk's quest for Kim and a host of other shadowy figures.

Download or read book Kim written by Rudyard Kipling and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2021-04-26 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Quien sepa leer la causa de una acción habrá ya recorrido la mitad del camino que lleva a la libertad." Publicada en 1901, "Kim" narra la historia Kimball O'Hara, un huérfano de padre soldado y madre blanca y pobre, que sobrevive mendigando en la época de la India colonial. Durante su niñez, Kim conoce a un lama, al que se le une en un viaje por India. Durante este viaje, los dos empiezan a familiarizarse con el conflicto político entre el Imperio Ruso y el Imperio Británico llamado "El Gran Juego". Poco después, llega a los oídos del capitán del regimiento del que el padre de Kim formaba parte, que Kim se ha convertido en el discípulo de un lama, y en contra de su voluntad, pero con el apoyo moral y financiero del lama, le manda a estudiar a una prestigiosa escuela británica en India. Después de años de estudio y después de asegurarse un puesto en el gobierno donde Kim trabajará con las operaciones oficiales de "El Gran Juego", el muchacho visita el Himalaya con el lama, donde acabarán involucrados en una trama de espionaje sin darse cuenta. La trama de "Kim" está repleta de elementos dignos de las mejores historias de espionaje y aventuras, lo que convierte esta novela en una de las mejores obras escritas por el premio Nobel de literatura Rudyard Kipling. Sin embargo, uno de los elementos más fascinantes de esta obra es el elemento que juega la religión y misticismo principalmente a manos del lama, y su anhelo por conseguir la iluminación espiritual a través de la búsqueda del legendario Río de la Flecha. Esta combinación de géneros literarios y temáticas que a primera vista no parecen estar conectados, se entrelazan en perfecta harmonía para presentar al lector/a un auténtico clásico de la literatura. "Kim" ha sido adaptada tanto a la televisión como al cine varias veces, incluyendo una primera adaptación estrenada en 1950 y dirigida por Victor Saville. Joseph Rudyard Kipling fue un escritor y poeta británico nacido en 1865 en Bombay. Autor de relatos, cuentos, libros para niños y poesía. Con numerosas adaptaciones cinematográficas, algunas de sus obras más populares son la colección de relatos El libro de la selva (1894), la novela de espionaje Kim (1901) o los poemas "Gunga Din" (1892) y "Si" (1895). Ganador del Premio Nobel de la Literatura en 1907, fue el primer escritor británico en recibir este galardón y el más joven hasta la fecha.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite Kipling's popularity as an author and his standing as a politically controversial figure, much of his work has remained relatively unexamined due to its categorization as 'children's literature.' Sue Walsh challenges the apparently clear division between 'children's' and 'adult' literature, suggesting new directions for postcolonial and childhood studies and interrogating the way biographical criticism on children's literature in particular has tended to supersede and obstruct other kinds of readings.
