Book excerpt: Johnny Begoode has an idyllic life as an expatriate English teacher in the South of France: a country home, a loving wife and children, financial security. But then news of the death of his mother coincides with the arrival in class of a new student-the beautiful, mysterious and seductive Angelique. These two events constitute a potent emotional cocktail that provokes a mid-life crisis which threatens Johnny's sanity and even his very existence. While Johnny's relationship with the girl is developing and turning sexual, through a series of flashbacks he relives some of the seminal events of his life: early separation axiety, an erotic infatuation with a nun, sexual abuse by a nun and a priest, a turbulant adolescence fueled by alcohol, and an incarceration. His later success in life and his spiritual search now clouded by the threat of a mental breakdown, the novel culminates in a grisly massacre. Or does it? It's up to the reader to decide.

Download or read book Ambition and Anxiety written by Line Henriksen and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2006 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This comparative study investigates the epic lineage that can be traced back from Derek Walcott's Omeros and Ezra Pound's Cantos through Dante's Divina Commedia to the epic poems of Virgil and Homer, and identifies and discusses in detail a number of recurrent key topoi. A fresh definition of the concept of genre is worked out and presented, based on readings of Homer. The study reads Pound's and Walcott's poetics in the light of Roman Jakobson's notions of metonymy and metaphor, placing their long poems at the respective opposite ends of their language poles." "Although there has already been an intermittent critical focus on the 'classical' (and 'Dantean') antecedents of Walcott's poetry, the present study is the first to bring together the whole range of epic intertextualities underlying Omeros, and the first to read this Caribbean masterpiece in the context of Pound's achievement." --Book Jacket.

With this book the Lord will put his armor upon you and destroy the fiery darts of the enemy. There are seven principal pillars of Satan you need to pull down before success and salvation can be erected in your destiny. This book addresses them all. They comprise pride, lack of knowledge, anger, and lack of faith; prayerlessness, self-affliction and pursuit of vanity. You are not expected to plant good seeds of life and reap little or nothing. You are created a unique person and; to achieve unique reward. You are the salt of the world. This book will provoke you to action and win every battle of life. You are to crack every concrete situation in your life so that your destiny may thrive. The seven pillars are dangerous to humanity. They swallow effects of prayer. The wicked do this intentionally by placing load of distractions in your hands. They do it with smiles but with wickedness in their heart. Satan is smart! He places load of distraction in our hands and turn it to pillars designed to swallow our destiny. Distraction takes priority in our life over the glorious presence of God so that we lose appetite for God and receive no vision or revelation. We must checkmate the wickedness of the enemy. It is for this reason this violent spiritual book loaded with spiritual missile bullets is written. This book will silence and break to pieces these evil pillars. There are battles seeking your daily tears and ready to bury your destiny. They are spiritual pillars that say; “if I am not lifted, you can’t be lifted”. They are there pressing you down, boasting you can’t go. They are happy to press you down. They are spiritual vultures assigned in the spirit to announce your obituary. At this point; call on angels of war to come to your aide and fight the battle. You need drastic, violent and no nonsense spiritual powers to destroy the evil pillars. Your cry to God won’t have effect if you are not prayerful and know what to do. This book gives good counsel to go about it. This book is wonderfully packaged with violent prayers vomited by Holy Spirit. Arise and pray. Now is the time every witch and wizard, and every form of evil power that surrounds you should surrender. Above all, this book will give you access to the following as you count success over the seven pillars of darkness. You shall be set free from the grip of the enemy. The powers of your father’s house shall bow. Losses shall seize in your life. Your destiny shall experience spiritual fertility and growth. Pillars of darkness assigned against you shall break to pieces and expire. The glory of the Lord shall locate you and your eagle shall fly high. Helpers shall arise for your sake and locate you. Every dark battle against you shall bow and scatter. Every dark arrow of limitation, untimely death, bad health, poverty and whatever shall backfire to the sender. Every dark pillar troubling you in order to swallow your destiny and keep you in perpetual cry and agony shall be pulled down by fire. The battle is won. Pick your copy and buy for others. Your joy is borderless and super! Congratulations and praise the Lord!
Download or read book Ezra Pound written by J. J. Wilhelm and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third and final volume of Wilhelm's life of Ezra Pound commences with Pound's departure from Paris at the height of his writing career for Italy, where he hoped to find a quieter life, and it takes him to his death in 1972. It tells how he settled in Rapallo and soon found Mussolini's fascism to be amenable to his own political and economic ideas, especially during the dark days of the Great Depression. As Italy girded itself for World War II, Pound was almost haphazardly drawn into the web, and he foolishly agreed to broadcast on Radio Rome for the Duce, even after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. When Italy fell to the Allies, Pound was put first into a dreadful American detention camp at Pisa and then was flown to Washington to be tried for treason. He escaped conviction on grounds of insanity, but he was then remanded to St. Elizabeths Hospital, where he languished for twelve years. Despite the incarcerations, Pound produced during this time some of his most magnificent poetry, including The Pisan Cantos and numerous excellent translations from the Chinese and Greek. He also heavily influenced an entire generation of poets ranging from Robert Lowell to Allen Ginsberg. With the help of Archibald MacLeish and Robert Frost, Pound was eventually freed in 1958. He returned to Italy, where he lived for a time with his wife and daughter. During the final years of his life, he eventually returned to live with his aged lover, Olga Rudge, in Venice and Rapallo. He died in Venice in 1972 and is buried next to Igor Stravinsky, whose work his own strongly resembles, since they both fought for liberation from traditional forms.

Download or read book Language Sexuality and Ideology in Ezra Pound s Cantos written by Jean-Michel Rabaté and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1986-02-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ezra Pound's Cantos remains among the most influential and difficult of twentieth century poetic writings. But now, for the first time, Rabaté's powerful and original study presents a theory of reading adequate to the challenge of Pound's writing. Using elements from Lacanian psycho-analysis and Heidegger's powerful meditation of poetry and language, this book constructs a theory of reading which both gives full force to the strategies of writing deployed in the Cantos and to the historical and political situations to which those strategies are a response. This study provides a fresh reading of the familiar Pound canon: Homer, Dante, Ovid but also of the less well-known: Ruskin, Browning, Frobenius. Pound's practice of quotation is understood in the context of a new poetic discourse characterized by parapraxis, ellipsis, condensation and autonomous "voices" which refer the division of the speaking subject back to an "omniform" intellect capable of taking on any new personality at will. Crucial to an understanding of Pound's situation is the relationship between Chinese and Greek culture, an analysis of which allows Rabaté to elaborate the tragic dimension in Pound's life and works. This book also parallels and contrasts Pound with his major contemporaries such as Eliot and Joyce and with his immediate heirs, like William Carlos Williams, H.D., Zukofsky, and Olson.
