Download or read book Main Street written by Sinclair Lewis and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-06-01 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carol Milford grows up in a mid-sized town in Minnesota before moving to Chicago for college. After her education, during which she’s exposed to big-city life and culture, she moves to Minneapolis to work as a librarian. She soon meets Will Kennicott, a small-town doctor, and the two get married and move to Gopher Prairie, Kennicott’s home town. Carol, inspired by big-city ideas, soon begins chafing at the seeming quaintness and even backwardness of the townsfolk, and their conservative, self-satisfied way of life. She struggles to try to reform the town in her image, while finding meaning in the seeming cultural desert she’s found herself in and in her increasingly cold marriage. Gopher Prairie is a detailed, satirical take on small-town American life, modeled after Sauk Centre, the town in which Lewis himself grew up. The town is fully realized, with generations of inhabitants interacting in a complex web of village society. Its bitingly satirical portrayal made Main Street highly acclaimed by its contemporaries, though many thought the satirical take was perhaps a bit too dark and hopeless. The book’s celebration and condemnation of small town life make it a candidate for the title of the Great American Novel. Main Street was awarded the 1921 Pulitzer Prize, but the decision was overturned by the prize’s Board of Trustees and awarded instead to Edith Wharton for The Age of Innocence. When Lewis went on to win the 1926 Pulitzer for Arrowsmith, he declined it—with the New York Times reporting that he did so because he was still angry at the Pulitzers for being denied the prize for Main Street. Despite the book’s snub at the Pulitzers, Lewis went on to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1930, with Main Street being cited as one of the reasons for his win.

Download or read book Love and Other Poems written by Alex Dimitrov and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2021-02-18 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alex Dimitrov’s third book, Love and Other Poems, is full of praise for the world we live in. Taking time as an overarching structure—specifically, the twelve months of the year—Dimitrov elevates the everyday, and speaks directly to the reader as if the poem were a phone call or a text message. From the personal to the cosmos, the moon to New York City, the speaker is convinced that love is “our best invention.” Dimitrov doesn’t resist joy, even in despair. These poems are curious about who we are as people and shamelessly interested in hope.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The City of Success: And Other Poems Where a river hastens down, Stands an often-wished-for town, In the azure of the mountains, on a broad and level vale. Peaks of peace above it rise To the ever -smiling skies, And its air is not invaded by the armies of the gale. Round the city stands a wall, Where the watchmen clearly call The flying hours, that speed away, with winged, in constant feet, And, throughout the gilded place, The palatial dwellings face On cool-fountained' park and garden, and on pleasure seeking street. Sparsely-populated stands This, the pride of all the lands In temple-crowned magnificence, the City of Success For, tho all men strive full well, In its worldly halls to dwell, Few even reach the roads to it, through bitter strain and stress. This fair city has great gates, And at each a dragon waits, huge, unsated, Open jaws, with Sharp misfortune fanged. High upon the barbacan Floats hope's banner, dear to man; vainly are the throng without from those proud walls harangued.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Souls of the Streets and Other Little Papers I know it also in the midnight blackness, when the tired home-comers keep breaking on its silence. It seems to rest patiently, waiting, like a dreamer for his dreams, until his family have gone to bed, and left him to himself and mystery. Very early in the morning, before the dawn, but after human interruption has done its worst, the soul of the street slips from its ugly sheath, and rests in an ecstacy of quiet. Then is the time for him who would watch it, and know the beautiful wonder with which the most10 the souls OF the streets.
