Trevor has been lonely and broken since his mother died when he was a child. He has learned to cope by shutting off to the world and not opening up to anyone, not even himself.

Download or read book Sister Brother written by Brenda Wineapple and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2008-03-01 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Devoted, eccentric, and compelling, Gertrude and Leo Stein were constant companions, from childhood to adulthood, until, finally, they spoke no more. Americans, expatriates, and virtually orphans, they lived together for almost forty years, collaborating in one of the great artistic and literary adventures of the twentieth century. Sister Brother tells the story of that adventure and relationship. With a personality that drew people toward her?regardless of what they thought of her inventive, hermetic prose?Gertrude Stein dazzled and perplexed. Enigmatic, intelligent, and self-absorbed, Leo also dazzled but in his own way. One of the crucial figures in Gertrude?s early years, he was the original guiding spirit of the famed salon at 27 rue de Fleurus, which continued for almost two decades. From her early days as a medical student to her first days in Paris, Gertrude was passionately driven toward the career in which she distinguished herself, demanding appreciation as an exceptional writer who knew precisely what she intended. This book shows how Gertrude slowly struggled with what became a unique voice?and why her brother spurned it. ø With its wealth of new and rare material, its reconstruction of Leo?s famed art collection, and its array of characters?from Bernard Berenson to Pablo Picasso?this biography offers the first glimpse into the smoldering sibling relationship that helped form two of the twentieth century?s most unusual figures.

Download or read book Sense and Goodness Without God written by Richard Carrier and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2005-02-23 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If God does not exist, then what does? Is there good and evil, and should we care? How do we know what’s true anyway? And can we make any sense of this universe, or our own lives? Sense and Goodness answers all these questions in lavish detail, without complex jargon. A complete worldview is presented and defended, covering every subject from knowledge to art, from metaphysics to morality, from theology to politics. Topics include free will, the nature of the universe, the meaning of life, and much more, arguing from scientific evidence that there is only a physical, natural world without gods or spirits, but that we can still live a life of love, meaning, and joy.

Download or read book Fantasy Pieces in Callot s Manner written by Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Among the many works in the Romantic ground-swell that marked a transformation of the artistic imagination, none is more fascinating or more revealing than a remarkable collection of prose published anonymously in 1814. The sole credit of authorship rested in the subtitle, Blatter aus dem Tagebuche eines reisenden Enthusiasten - itself a manifesto-in-miniature of the new Romantic creed. The "Enthusiast" (literally, "one inspired or possessed by a god," a term previously applied in mockery) was E.T.A. Hoffmann, a struggling composer with a history of misadventure in his bureaucratic career; the description of his book as "diary pages" suggested intimate, spontaneous outpourings, unfiltered by art's traditional rules." "The German title, Fantasiestucke in Callots Manier, evokes association with Lehrstucke, what the apprentice offers to prove his command of his craft; "in Callot's Manner" extends this embedded simile by indicating that the contents demonstrate mastery in a certain style - one of the tests of an apprentice. Fantasy Pieces, then, should be regarded not merely as a selection of new and fugitive writings but as a sampler - pointedly derived, moreover, from fantasy, that revolutionary quality raised to pre-eminence by the Romantic artist." "Curiously, no earlier English edition of a complete Fantasy Pieces has appeared, and two of its major tales, "The Recent Adventures of the Dog Berganza" and "The Mesmerist," have never previously been available in English. Hoffmann's Anglophone readers have also been hampered by pared down, stilted, or careless renderings." "Joseph Hayse's translation, painstakingly accurate in the face of syntactical difficulties, conveys the flavor of Hoffmann's language; the greater effect of his effort, however, lies in presenting Hoffmann's first volume complete. A multifaceted document of an emergent genius, it also illuminates the complex mind of a new age."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
