Book excerpt: Winner of the 2002 San Diego Book Awards. Before Melville even thinks about writing Moby Dick, an American slave is living a daring and dangerous life on the open seas. Forget what you know about ´Pip´ or any other limited African-American stereotypes in classic novels: Black Jack White, a real man born during the War of 1812, escapes brutal slavery in Mississippi. In Rich Man´s Coffin, he decides to change his fate at an early age; and at a time when the Underground Railroad is in its infancy, this courageous young black man overcomes the odds to reach New Zealand. Black Jack, like an African-American Robinson Crusoe figure, finds himself in a distant and foreign land. His simple plan to become a wealthy whaler takes a strange and violent twist; and he finds himself thrust into the vicious yet noble life of the local cannibals. Love and war intertwine, and Black Jack is challenged to survive many turbulent events. (Cover design by Chris Garcia) Read a review of this intriguing book at Blether.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A SOUL! How wonderful the soul is! There is something in the soul which strikes fear and dread into the beasts of the earth and the fowls of the air; Gen. ix. 2. The soul is the very image and likeness of God himself. The soul is a spirit like God. The soul, like God, is one; yet there are three great powers in the soul—will, memory, and understanding—as there are three persons in God—Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Your soul does not wear away like the rocks, which are the foundations of the earth. Your soul does not fade away like a flower, or as the leaves drop off the trees in the autumn, or as the colors of the rainbow melt away from our sight. Your soul will not be nailed down in a coffin, or buried in the grave; when the body dies, the soul will not die, but it will go out of this world to the God who gave it; Ecc. xiii. Aeterna Press
Download or read book My Mother s Sabbath Days written by Chaim Grade and published by Jason Aronson, Incorporated. This book was released on 1997-05-01 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This tender and moving memoir by the great Yiddish writer Chaim Grade takes us to the very source of his widely praised novels and poems—the city of Vilna, the "Jerusalem of Lithuania," during the years before World War II. Centered on the figure of Grade's mother, Vella—simple, pious, hard-working—this is a richly detailed account of the ghetto of his youth, of the lives of the rabbis, the wives, the tradesmen, the peddlers, and the scholars. We see Vella, desperate after losing her husband, become a fruit-peddler, struggling to survive poverty and to remain true to her faith in the face of human pettiness and cruelty. We follow Grade as he walks in the footsteps of his scholar father, a champion of enlightenment; we see him entering marriage, and his mother finding some peace of mind in a marriage of her own—all of this in a world recalled with extraordinary physical and emotional intensity. Then, World War II. The partition of Poland between the Soviet Union and Germany is followed by the new German invasion of June 1941. Grade—believing, as do so many others, that the Nazis pose a danger chiefly to able-bodied men like himself—flees into Russia. In his travels on foot and by train he meets a fascinating, kaleidoscopic array of characters: the disillusioned Communist Lev Kogan; the durachok, or simpleton, a young prisoner who, mistaken for a German spy, is shot when he jumps from a train; the once-prosperous lawyer, Orenstein, who virtually becomes a beggar, dies and is buried by strangers in a remote Central Asian village. With the war's end, Grade returns to Vilna—to find the ghetto in ruins, to learn that his wife and his mother have gone to their deaths—and he is left with nothing but memories. But it is here, amid the devastation of a people, that he finds the compulsion and the passion to commit to paper the world that has been lost.

Download or read book Boxes and Books in Early Modern England written by Lucy Razzall and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-19 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In early modern England, boxes furnished minds as readily as they furnished rooms, shaping ideas about the challenges of interpretation, and negotiations of the book itself as text and material object. Engaging with recent work on material culture and the history of the book, Lucy Razzall weaves together close readings of texts and objects, from wills, plays, sermons and religious polemic, to chests, book-bindings, reliquaries and coffins. She demonstrates how the material and imaginative possibilities of the box were dynamically connected in post-Reformation England, structuring modes of thought. These early modern responses to materiality offer ways in which the discipline of book history might reframe its analysis of the material text. In tracing the early modern significance of the box as matter and metaphor, this book reveals the origins of some of the enduring habits of thought with which we still respond to people, texts and things.
