Download or read book Life Goes On written by Hans Keilson and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2012-10-30 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published when the author was just twenty-three, Life Goes On was Hans Keilson's literary debut, an extraordinary autobiographical novel that paints a dark yet illuminating portrait of Germany between the world wars. It is the story of Herr Seldersen—a Jewish store owner modeled on Keilson's father, a textile merchant and decorated World War I veteran—along with his wife and son, Albrecht, and the troubles they encounter as the German economy collapses and politics turn rancid. The book was banned by the Nazis in 1934. Shortly afterward, following his editor's advice, Keilson emigrated to the Netherlands, where he would spend the rest of his life. Life Goes On is an essential volume for readers of Keilson's later work. At the age of one hundred, with his one copy of the first edition of Life Goes On in hand, Keilson told The New York Times that he would love to see his first novel reissued, and translated as well. "Then you would have my whole biography," he told them. He died at the age of one hundred and one.

Download or read book Interrupted Odyssey written by Mary Stockwell and published by Southern Illinois University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-06 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first book devoted to the genesis, failure, and lasting legacy of Ulysses S. Grant’s comprehensive American Indian policy, Mary Stockwell shows Grant as an essential bridge between Andrew Jackson’s pushing Indians out of the American experience and Franklin D. Roosevelt’s welcoming them back in. Situating Grant at the center of Indian policy development after the Civil War, Interrupted Odyssey: Ulysses S. Grant and the American Indians reveals the bravery and foresight of the eighteenth president in saying that Indians must be saved and woven into the fabric of American life. In the late 1860s, before becoming president, Grant collaborated with Ely Parker, a Seneca Indian who became his first commissioner of Indian affairs, on a plan to rescue the tribes from certain destruction. Grant hoped to save the Indians from extermination by moving them to reservations, where they would be guarded by the U.S. Army, and welcoming them into the nation as American citizens. By so doing, he would restore the executive branch’s traditional authority over Indian policy that had been upended by Jackson. In Interrupted Odyssey, Stockwell rejects the common claim in previous Grant scholarship that he handed the reservations over to Christian missionaries as part of his original policy. In part because Grant’s plan ended political patronage, Congress overturned his policy by disallowing Army officers from serving in civil posts, abandoning the treaty system, and making the new Board of Indian Commissioners the supervisors of the Indian service. Only after Congress banned Army officers from the Indian service did Grant place missionaries in charge of the reservations, and only after the board falsely accused Parker of fraud before Congress did Grant lose faith in his original policy. Stockwell explores in depth the ousting of Parker, revealing the deep-seated prejudices that fueled opposition to him, and details Grant’s stunned disappointment when the Modoc murdered his peace commissioners and several tribes—the Comanche, Kiowa, Cheyenne, and Sioux—rose up against his plans for them. Though his dreams were interrupted through the opposition of Congress, reformers, and the tribes themselves, Grant set his country firmly toward making Indians full participants in the national experience. In setting Grant’s contributions against the wider story of the American Indians, Stockwell’s bold, thoughtful reappraisal reverses the general dismissal of Grant’s approach to the Indians as a complete failure and highlights the courage of his policies during a time of great prejudice.

Download or read book Womb to Grave written by Dr. Subhashis Chakraborty and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2023-11-28 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once the ancient poet and Nobel laureate, Shri Rabindranath Tagore, said “It is very simple to be happy, but it is very difficult to be simple.” So, the issue is not with happiness but with its simplicity. We are gifted with a beautiful but short life which we have made complex by searching happiness in money, family, job, entertainments, sports, hobbies, vacations, social engagements, etc. The essence of these materialistic elements fades away as soon as we get used to them. What follows is anger, frustration, and demotivation. In no time, we get entangled in a sense of self-doubt questioning our own ways to stay happy. As an alternative, we start looking for solutions from people around us and get influenced by the cosmetic face of social media which makes the situation even more complex. As a result, we soon feel lost, clueless, and dejected. Are you also in a similar state of mind and looking for a better means to find happiness? If yes, then this book “Womb to Grave - A short span for happy living” would be the end to your search. This book presents simple thoughts driven by the principle that there is no maiden approach to manage life. It covers all relevant aspects of life together as a structured package rather than focusing on the conventional process of sticking to one major idea/ guideline. The life management skills explained in this book would enable you to build the right mindset to create your own happiness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When viewers think of film noir, they often picture actors like Humphrey Bogart playing characters like Sam Spade in The Maltese Falcon, the film based on the book by Dashiell Hammett. Yet film noir is a genre much richer. The authors first examine the debate surrounding the parameters of the genre and the many different ways it is defined. They discuss the Noir City, its setting and backdrop, and also the cultural (WWII) and institutional (the House UnAmerican Activities Committee, and the Production Code Administration) influences on the subgenres. An analysis of the low budget and series film noirs provides information on those cult classics. With over 200 entries on films, directors, and actors, the Encyclopedia of Film Noir is the most complete resource for film fans, students, and scholars.
