Download or read book Persist and Pursue written by Pierre Nzuah and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-13 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Persist and Pursue is a stirring memoir recounting the unlikely, remarkable journey of Pierre Nzuah from a remote village in the Central African nation of Cameroon to a graduate degree in electrical engineering in the United States.His polygamous family survived by subsistence farming while living in a mud-brick compound without electricity or potable water. His parents were in no rush to send Pierre, their eleventh of seventeen children, to school. At the age of eight, which is very late for a child to begin formal education, he ran out of patience and began sneaking out of the compound-without his father's knowledge-to start attending primary school. Even as a young boy, his hunger for learning was that strong.Pierre's story is exceptional because he does not come from a wealthy family, but driven by a constant hunger for success, he persevered through extraordinary circumstances and hardships to realize his dreams.
Download or read book The Power of a Dream written by Mathias Pierre and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2011-02-22 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Haiti, heirs of a glorious past, we remain a group of people capable of great things in the face of adversity, motivated by a surprising individual strength to survive and provide for our individual needs. However, 200 years of history also attest to our inability to build a better environment for ourselves. In his book entitled “THE POWER OF A DREAM,” Mathias Pierre proves that an individual's social or economic origins or the color of his skin cannot condemn him. Education and determination to fulfill his dream led Mr. Pierre out of a precarious situation and into one of a model entrepreneur, the embodiment of success. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=125064967 …This book recounts his family's origins and their migratory trek from his native city to Port-au-Prince, the capital, to escape the shame of paternal failure. His academic career from elementary school to high school was fraught with difficulties due to miserable economic conditions and the challenges of getting an education in Haiti. His university studies were seen as a culmination of his ambitions, like the fulfillment of his father's dream which set him free. Alas, it was only an illusion that those of the middle class experience at their own expense. He still had to cling to a dream, to the magic of a dream, to believe in the power of education, in perseverance that pays off at the end of the journey, in success that depends on discipline. That's hard in Haiti where attitudes and paradigms are not conducive to prosperity creation; survival, destruction of whatever prosperity symbolizes, and where trust is a rare commodity. In 2008, Mathias Pierre learned at his expense that it is not enough to succeed in Haiti to be accepted, success must be achieved with others. GaMa was the target, like a lot of other businesses, of food riots. Who is Mathias Pierre? When I look back at my past and at my current involvement in my country's business sector, I realize not only is it possible to change one's future, but the future can be learned and shaped. I came from a very precarious economic situation and I was able to establish model of financial performance by applying certain principles that I am revealing today in my book: “THE POWER OF A DREAM.” http://www.nextbillion.net/blog/2010/05/17/moving-from-survival-to-entrepreneurship-in-haiti.)

Download or read book Rainbow s End written by Maury Klein and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-05-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rainbow's End tells the story of the stock market collapse in a colorful, swift-moving narrative that blends a vivid portrait of the 1920s with an intensely gripping account of Wall Street's greatest catastrophe. The book offers a vibrant picture of a world full of plungers, powerful bankers, corporate titans, millionaire brokers, and buoyantly optimistic stock market bulls. We meet Sunshine Charley Mitchell, head of the National City Bank, powerful financiers Jack Morgan and Jacob Schiff, Wall Street manipulators such as the legendary Jesse Livermore, and the lavish-living Billy Durant, founder of General Motors. As Klein follows the careers of these men, he shows us how the financial house of cards gradually grew taller, as the irrational exuberance of an earlier age gripped America and convinced us that the market would continue to rise forever. Then, in October 1929, came a "perfect storm"-like convergence of factors that shook Wall Street to its foundations. We relive Black Thursday, when police lined Wall Street, brokers grew hysterical, customers "bellowed like lunatics," and the ticker tape fell hours behind. This compelling history of the Crash--the first to follow the market closely for the two years leading up to the disaster--illuminates a major turning point in our history.

A seeress with a bond to the spirit world, she has beheld a frightening vision-of a blond man in a black robe, whose coming will bring death and despair to her people. Father Marc Dupre is a French missionary who has come to Quebec to preach Christianity. He is not prepared for his own growing love for Andiora, an attraction she shares with all her heart. But more than a forbidden union threatens them both. A mysterious epidemic is devastating the Hurons, and vengeful shamans blame the "Black Robes" from Europe, crying out for the priests' deaths.

Download or read book Herman Melville written by A. Robert Lee and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 1984 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "He has a very high and noble nature, and [is] better worth immortality than most of us"óso Hawthorne wrote of Herman Melville in his journal for 1856. This collection of essays undertakes to re-examine the "nobility" of Melville's powerful and engaging imagination. Not only are his primary motifs of "the journey" and the quest for Truth given attention, but also his subtleties as a great maker of fiction are analysed. Hence the collection as a whole stresses Melville's way with language and irony and his serious, inventive playfulness as a writer.
Download or read book Melville s Anatomies written by Samuel Otter and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1999-03-05 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In fascinating new contextual readings of four of Herman Melville's novels—Typee, White-Jacket, Moby-Dick, and Pierre—Samuel Otter delves into Melville's exorbitant prose to show how he anatomizes ideology, making it palpable and strange. Otter portrays Melville as deeply concerned with issues of race, the body, gender, sentiment, and national identity. He articulates a range of contemporary texts (narratives of travelers, seamen, and slaves; racial and aesthetic treatises; fiction; poetry; and essays) in order to flesh out Melville's discursive world. Otter presents Melville's works as "inside narratives" offering material analyses of consciousness. Chapters center on the tattooed faces in Typee, the flogged bodies in White-Jacket, the scrutinized heads in Moby-Dick, and the desiring eyes and eloquent, constricted hearts of Pierre. Otter shows how Melville's books tell of the epic quest to know the secrets of the human body. Rather than dismiss contemporary beliefs about race, self, and nation, Melville inhabits them, acknowledging their appeal and examining their sway. Meticulously researched and brilliantly argued, this groundbreaking study links Melville's words to his world and presses the relations between discourse and ideology. It will deeply influence all future studies of Melville and his work.
Download or read book Leos Carax written by Fergus Daly and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-18 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book in any language to study the films of this enfant terrible of contemporary French cinema, best known for his film Les Amants du Pont Neuf. Examines key ingredients in the worlds of Carax's films - Paris, pop music, 'flânerie' and 'amour fou', 'mannerist' and 'neo-baroque' aesthetics, the Nouvelle Vague and contemporary 'naturalist' cinema - making the book a good primer of contemporary French film and culture. Draws on a variety of intellectual sources, such as the philosophy of Deleuze, film criticism, theory of art, and literary monographs. Argues that the recent history of maverick mannerist and baroque auteurs, from Ruiz & Rivette to Garrel and Techine, and their explorations of the 'powers of the false' are key to Carax's cinema. Examines Carax's contribution to the strand of cinema which is focused on chance and destiny, from Wong Kar-Wai and David Lynch to films such as Serendipity and Sliding doors.
