Book excerpt: Mann's short stories explore his abiding interest in the split nature of humanity and the discordance of the world it inhabits. In 'A Man and his Dog', domestic tempests are symbols of the muddle of humanity. In 'The Black Swan', the demands of intellect clash with physical desires. And in 'Mario and the Magician' a young family on holiday in Italy encounters a creepy entertainer: Cipolla, a hypnotist with a fascist-like will to control his audience. Written between 1918 and 1953, this collection shows the literary development of one of Germany's most important writers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **FIRST PLACE for the Best Political/Current Affairs Book, International Latino Book Awards 2017** **One of Southern Living's Best Books of 2016** **OFFICIAL SELECTION: 2017 Social Justice Book List published by The National Network of State Teachers of the Year (NNSTOY) • Boston Public Library Latino Life Booklist • Chicago Public Library Hispanic Heritage Month Booklist • Books for Welcoming Week by King County Library System (Washington State)** A fast-paced nonfiction narrative that will help you understand today's immigration battles 18-year-old high school senior Isaias Ramos plays in a punk rock group called Los Psychosis and likes to sing along to songs by Björk and her old band, the Sugarcubes. He’s so bright that when his school’s quiz bowl goes on local TV, he acts as captain. The counselors at school want him to apply to Harvard. But Isaias isn’t so sure. He's thinking about going to work painting houses with his parents, who crossed the Arizona desert illegally from Mexico. Despite the obstacles and his own doubts, Isaias sets out on the journey to become the first in his family to go to college. He faces make-or-break standardized testing, immigration bureaucracy and absurdly high college costs. And most importantly, the siren song of doubt. This simple story reflects broader truths. Mexican immigration has brought the proportion of Hispanics in the nation’s youth population to roughly one in four. Every day, children of immigrants make decisions about their lives that will shape our society and economy for generations. In the tradition of Friday Night Lights and A Hope in the Unseen, this deeply human narrative offers a powerful antidote to the heated political rhetoric about immigrants and their children.

Book excerpt: Stage magic consists of improbable feats for which other practitioners may find explanations. The extraordinary quality of this story is the manner in which the author recounts the stages by which individual spectators, much of the audience, and eventually the narrator himself seem to fall under the magician's spell. Lengthy descriptive passages preface each of Cipolla's challenges; increasingly the narrator refers to more abstract problems of volition and self-control. The atmosphere is conveyed by repeated references to the audience's reactions, from disbelief to laughter to applause, and ultimately to horror. The oral sparring that precedes each test of will is reproduced at length: Peculiar features of the magician's speech, the use of quaint south Italian dialect among the audience, and Cipolla's jibes at slow and unresponsive spectators highlight the dialectical tension that develops more and more. Palpable periods of silence, when the audience is breathlessly enthralled by the magician's performance, are interspersed with descriptions of the magician's piercing hypnotic eyes and the rhythmic crackle of his whip through the air to ensure obedience. Eventually the narrator himself can only present his impressions; at some points he loses track of the precise sequence of events as he becomes transfixed by the trial of wills on the stage.
Download or read book La generaci n del 98 en sus an cdotas written by José Esteban and published by Editorial Renacimiento. This book was released on 2012-10-30 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He aquí a Unamuno, Baroja, don Ramón del Valle-Inclán, Benavente y los hermanos Machado, entre muchos otros. He aquí su ingente labor literaria, sus inesperadas, sus deslumbrantes frases y actitudes. He aquí la atractiva sugestión de sus discursos, sus voces caudalosas que desbordan y enriquecen la realidad, porque la obra de la generación del 98 no sólo fue escrita, sino que fue también oral. Y esta última, por su misma libertad discursiva, por su fugacidad, resulta más personal, más reveladora de sus propias personalidades. Sí, esta obra pasajera, anecdótica, que saltaba en el arco de la ruidosa tertulia, en la discusión ateneísta, en la rabia de un momento de acaloramiento, es de singular significado para conocer a los hombres que nos la ofrecen. Alfonso Reyes escribió en cierta ocasión que «hay que interesarse por las anécdotas», y se refería con esto a que la anécdota es, por esencia, reveladora. Y muestra en primer plano la psicología de sus autores, su perspicacia, su rapidez de respuesta, sus trasfondos, sus certeros diagnósticos ante una situación determinada. También su agudeza y capacidad de respuesta; además de la finura espiritual, el ingenio y el talento literario en una palabra. José Esteban. (Sigüenza, Guadalajara, 1936) ha repartido su vocación literaria entre la edición, la investigación, la crítica y la novela. Como escritor ha cultivado numerosos géneros y en el catálogo de Renacimiento y Espuela de Plata pueden encontrarse una buena muestra de sus trabajos con libros como Vituperio (y algún elogio) de la errata (2002), Judas... ¡Hi... de puta! Insultos y animadversión entre españoles (2003), Las mil y una palabras de casa de putas (2005) o El epigrama español (2008). Su labor como librero y editor de Turner fue fundamental para animar la cultura española durante el postfranquismo y la transición. Desde entonces ha sido responsable y asesor de un sinfín de ediciones, sobre todo de autores bohemios o finiseculares, y actualmente dirige para esta editorial la colección Biblioteca de Rescate, donde han aparecido ediciones suyas de Isidoro López Lapuya, Ciro Bayo o Manuel Ciges Aparicio.

Download or read book Leonide Massine and the 20th Century Ballet written by Leslie Norton and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-11-18 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great Russian choreographer Leonide Massine was the most important figure in modernist ballet in the 1930s, known for works such as Gaite Parisienne and The Three-Cornered Hat. His versatility and scope made his choreography the most representative of the century. Whatever period he portrayed, his style flowed freely and unselfconsciously. His character ballets dealt not with stereotypes but individuals, and his symphonic ballets proved how great music could be employed without demeaning it. Like his mentor Diaghilev, he strove to bring music, painting, and poetry to his ballets. Massine was responsible for the first resolutely abstract ballet and the first true fusions of ballet and modern dance. This work provides a biography of Massine and a detailed analysis of his major ballets, including those for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo and American Ballet Theatre. The work integrates biographical study with an examination of Massine's works from an array of perspectives. By examining the music and composers, set design, and literary sources, it places the work in the larger context of the dance, opera, major visual art movements, literature and theater of the period. Analyses of ballets include synopses, scenery and costumes, music, choreography, critical survey and summary. The work concludes with an epilogue summarizing Massine's impact on the development of ballet in the twentieth century, and includes both informal and performance photographs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this inspirational and unflinchingly honest memoir, acclaimed author Reyna Grande describes her childhood torn between the United States and Mexico, and shines a light on the experiences, fears, and hopes of those who choose to make the harrowing journey across the border. Reyna Grande vividly brings to life her tumultuous early years in this “compelling...unvarnished, resonant” (BookPage) story of a childhood spent torn between two parents and two countries. As her parents make the dangerous trek across the Mexican border to “El Otro Lado” (The Other Side) in pursuit of the American dream, Reyna and her siblings are forced into the already overburdened household of their stern grandmother. When their mother at last returns, Reyna prepares for her own journey to “El Otro Lado” to live with the man who has haunted her imagination for years, her long-absent father. Funny, heartbreaking, and lyrical, The Distance Between Us poignantly captures the confusion and contradictions of childhood, reminding us that the joys and sorrows we experience are imprinted on the heart forever, calling out to us of those places we first called home. Also available in Spanish as La distancia entre nosotros.
