Book excerpt: From the author of Exhalation, an award-winning short story collection that blends "absorbing storytelling with meditations on the universe, being, time and space ... raises questions about the nature of reality and what it is to be human" (The New York Times). Stories of Your Life and Others delivers dual delights of the very, very strange and the heartbreakingly familiar, often presenting characters who must confront sudden change—the inevitable rise of automatons or the appearance of aliens—with some sense of normalcy. With sharp intelligence and humor, Chiang examines what it means to be alive in a world marked by uncertainty, but also by beauty and wonder. An award-winning collection from one of today's most lauded writers, Stories of Your Life and Others is a contemporary classic. Includes “Story of Your Life”—the basis for the major motion picture Arrival

Download or read book My Story written by Roger H. Guichard and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-05-09 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Story tells the tale of one man’s coming to adulthood in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Because of his international focus, the Author had said little about a subject that might interest a reader familiar with his existing body of work, that is, himself. So, he has turned a penetrating gaze from his customary subjects—people and places in the Middle East and South Asia—to a subject that provides context for his earlier books. From family histories of eighteenth-century Cevio in the Swiss Alps and Marseille in Provence; from childhood, youth, adolescence, and early adulthood in the United States; to the Navy and the Vietnam War; from “First Footsteps in the Middle East” to “Timeline,” “Red America,” and “Iran Odyssey,” these chapters play out against the backdrop of the family history now provided. As such, this work represents the capstone to a full career.

Download or read book History of My Life written by Giacomo Chevalier de Seingalt Casanova and published by Johns Hopkins University Press. This book was released on 1997-05-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning translation of the complete memoirs of Casanova available for the first time in paperback. In volumes 5 and 6, Casanova brings his flight from the Inquisitor's prison in Venice to a happy conclusion. Exiled from Venice, he goes to Munich and Paris, where he establishes himself as a cabalist, makes a fortune in Holland, helps start the French State Lottery, goes on to Switzerland where he meets Voltaire. Because every previous edition of Casanova's Memoirs had been abridged to suppress the author's political and religious views and tame his vivid, often racy, style, the literary world considered it a major event when Willard R. Trask's translation of the complete original text was published in six double volumes between 1966 and 1971. Trask's award-winning translation now appears in paperback for the first time.
