Download or read book The New American West in Literature and the Arts written by Amaia Ibarraran-Bigalondo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the American West is that of a journey. It is the story of a movement, of a geographical and human transition, of the delineation of a route that would soon become a rooted myth. The story of the American West has similarly journeyed across boundaries, in a two-way movement, sometimes feeding the idea of that myth, sometimes challenging it. This collection of essays relates to the notion of the traveling essence of the myth of the American West from different geographical and disciplinary standpoints. The volume originates in Europe, in Spain, where the myth traveled, was received, assimilated, and re-presented. It intends to travel back to the West, in a two-way cross-cultural journey, which will hopefully contribute to the delineation of the New—always self-renewing—American West. It includes the work of authors of both sides of the Atlantic ocean who propose a cross-cultural, transdisciplinary dialogue upon the idea, the geography and the representation of the American West.

Download or read book Exile Nature and Transformation in the Life of Mary Hallock Foote written by Megan Riley McGilchrist and published by University of Nevada Press. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining a breadth of scholarship, insightful critical thinking, and an engaging personal interaction with Mary Hallock Foote’s substantial collection of illustrations and writings, Megan Riley McGilchrist provides a significant contribution to western literature and the lives of western writers. Exile, Nature, and Transformation in the Life of Mary Hallock Foote opens a window into the remarkable, little-known nineteenth-century personal history of accomplished American author and illustrator, Mary Hallock Foote, a woman both of her time, and ahead of it. When Mary gave up a successful career as an illustrator in New York to follow her husband, a mining engineer, to the West, she found herself in a new, unfamiliar, and often challenging world—sometimes feeling like an exile. The thousands of pages of her unpublished letters, which form the foundation of this book, give rare insight into the process of acculturation and eventually the transformation that she experienced. This wide-ranging analysis also examines the role that nature and Mary’s lifelong connection with the natural world played in her adaptation to the western mining towns where she spent much of the rest of her life. In many ways, Mary’s life mirrored that of author Megan Riley McGilchrist, whose parallel exile began in 1977 when she left America for England. Drawing equivalences with Mary’s life as an exile and her own life as an expatriate American woman, Megan provides a meditation on her own transformation, as much as on Mary’s. Megan demonstrates what it has been like to be a twenty-first-century American expatriate, Californian-turned-Londoner—to find common ground in the life of a nineteenth-century woman. Comprising elements of biography, literary analysis, history, and personal history, and containing many unpublished excerpts from Mary’s voluminous correspondence, Exile, Nature, and Transformation in the Life of Mary Hallock Foote offers insight into the ways Mary perceived the world around her. It also provides insight into the experiences of exiles of any time—people who have left a familiar environment to embark on a new life in a new and not necessarily comfortable setting.

Download or read book Moon Shadow written by Joe Barfield and published by Joe Barfield. This book was released on 2010-11-13 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Moon Shadow fiction or history in the making?Set in 2012, Moon Shadow depicts the financial collapse and subsequent invasion of the United States. Completed over a decade ago, this story is so close to current events that it seems more historical than a work of fiction. From a terrorist attack using three hijacked airliners to a top-secret spaceplane project dubbed Aurora, both the premise and content of my novel have become reality.Was Mark Halperin right in calling President Barrack Obama a "dick?" Not really. But what if the president were an unintentional traitor? See what happens when Obama destroys American in my novel Moon Shadow.Intended to be a work of fiction only to entertain, author Joe Barfield admits even he is surprised as events in his novel, Moon Shadow, are becoming more historical than fictional with each passing day. Barfield said, Moon Shadow tells the story about the fall of the greatest country in the world—The United States of America. The collapse is not so much from outside forces, but rather from the greed within. I never dreamed how close Moon Shadow would describe events in America and the Mid-East today.Written fourteen years ago, Moon Shadow was updated recently to better describe current events that are quickly changing the world. Reflecting on his novel, Barfield also said, I originally based the collapse of the United States on the greed of American CEOs, the corruption of our leaders, and the collapse of the financial institutions during President George H. Bush’s administration. Now it seems Moon Shadow is closer to depicting the events of President Barrack Obama’s administration. Abraham Linoln said, "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Just a few disturbing things found in Moon Shadow are the use of three hijacked passenger airliners, with one crashing into a football game killing the president. Another war occurs in the Middle East that is very similar to Desert Storm but with a big difference—The United States is defeated. The novel predicted a Democrat would be elected in 2008 and he would destroy America financially with a National Debt near 20 trillion. Where are we today?The author was quoted saying: From the beginning of time every empire has collapsed. There have been no exceptions.Moon Shadow, depicts America's leadership, greed, and corruption as the reasons for the collapse, will get people on both sides of the fence talking. It is an exciting edge-of-your-seat story about a handful of America's best jet pilots desperately trying to take America back after the invasion. Their reluctant leader, Beau Gex, is forced to lead them to safety. Trapped behind enemy lines, this small group of pilots fight against overwhelming odds. They are forced to fly one last deadly mission, where America's future depends on its best pilot, Beau Gex, defeating a technologically advanced F-14 fighter jet at night. But all he has on his side is an antiquated, World War II, P-51 Mustang and an old Indian Legend, Moon Shadow. For the not-faint-at-heart, Moon Shadow begins with one of the edgiest torture scenes since Marathon Man. And for those looking for love mixed in with their adventure, Moon Shadow satisfies as a tender romance between Beau and Krysti Socorro, an exquisite doctor. Will the betrayal of another tear them apart forever? Can a child save their love or is it too late?
