Book excerpt: When Susanna Solomon turned fourteen, her father told her that he was going to Paris to be alone. She believed him. Instead, he went to be with his mistress, an event that changed the trajectory of her family's life forever. When he returned, her mother confronted him, and he lied to her. Fed up and in despair, she took her own life.Fifty years later and long after he was gone, Solomon felt an urge to see where her father had gone.The result is The Night Train to Paris, her collection of vignettes told in the voice of our narrator, Nina, who sets out to follow in her father's footsteps in Paris. When she returned to places where she had been with her parents, Nina finds her mother standing beside her while holding her hand on the quai, and her father criticizing her everywhere they went. Confronting them gave her a chance to heal, and she returned home transformed.Evocative and personal, heart-wrenching and illuminating, these stories reveal what lies beneath our deepest fears and memories and will appeal, especially, to adult children with pasts that refuse to remain buried.

Download or read book Prospects and Impediments of Feminist Monolithism written by Rosalyn Mutia and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reads mid-twentieth century poetry by British, American and Sub-Saharan women to postulate the desirability and possibility of feminist monolithism. It shows that there is a remarkable consistency in the themes and aesthetic preoccupations of poets widely separated from each other by both geographical space and historical epochs, which highlights that there are pertinent cross-cutting trends in women’s poetry which could be exploited as a basis for monolithism. The text identifies the main tenets of feminism as recognition of women’s oppression and a determined effort through concerted strategies to resist and thwart this oppression and to navigate women out of peripheral positions into positions of power. By showing that these tenets are uniformly present in the poetry of very different women, it posits this uniformity as a stable ground on which feminist monolithism could be constructed, without glossing over existent differences between and among women.

Download or read book Personal Recollections Of Joan Of Arc written by Mark Twain and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2014-05-05 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lengthy historical novel written because Joan of Arc was Clemens' favorite historical character. He stated: "It means more to me than anything I have ever undertaken." Clemens devoted twelve years to researching and writing this novel. Harper's Magazine serialized it first in three monthly installments (April 1895-April 1896) without his name. He used the pseudonym Sieur Louis de Conte to prevent the work's not being taken seriously under his own name, while the name of the translator, Jean Francois Alden, is referred to as a pun on John Alden. This edition contains many of the fine drawings that had appeared in the periodical. (From "A Centennial For Tom Sawyer")
