Download or read book A Pennsylvania Dutch Boy written by Merritt George Yorgey and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-06-25 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book paints a portrait of how the Pennsylvania Dutch, or correctly, the Pennsylvania German people are changing. Originally the predominant ethnic group in Pennsylvania, with a population of hundreds of thousands, they are now losing their Pennsylvania Dutch dialect, their Dutchified English accents, and their German cultural traditions. They are falsely perceived as being the Plain people, as symbolized by an Amishman of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It relates how the influences of the great depression of the 1930s and of World War Two swept through the group and turned their culture upside down. Through a memoir that chronicles their struggles, triumphs and realizations, and suffused with the zeitgeist of the era, it celebrates, through the life of a real Pennsylvania Dutch Boy, a beautiful heritage, and is an invitation for readers to explore the essence of identity and culture.

Download or read book Little Boy written by Lawrence Ferlinghetti and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the famed publisher and poet, author of the million-copy-selling collection A Coney Island of the Mind, his literary last will and testament -- part autobiography, part summing up, part Beat-inflected torrent of language and feeling, and all magical. "A volcanic explosion of personal memories, political rants, social commentary, environmental jeremiads and cultural analysis all tangled together in one breathless sentence that would make James Joyce proud. . ." —Ron Charles, The Washington Post In this unapologetically unclassifiable work Lawrence Ferlinghetti lets loose an exhilarating rush of language to craft what might be termed a closing statement about his highly significant and productive 99 years on this planet. The "Little Boy" of the title is Ferlinghetti himself as a child, shuffled from his overburdened mother to his French aunt to foster childhood with a rich Bronxville family. Service in World War Two (including the D-Day landing), graduate work, and a scholar gypsy's vagabond life in Paris followed. These biographical reminiscences are interweaved with Allen Ginsberg-esque high energy bursts of raw emotion, rumination, reflection, reminiscence and prognostication on what we may face as a species on Planet Earth in the future. Little Boy is a magical font of literary lore with allusions galore, a final repository of hard-earned and durable wisdom, a compositional high wire act without a net (or all that much punctuation) and just a gas and an inspiration to read.
