Book excerpt: THE SOUTH IN SONG AND STORY Sweet Wine of Youth is a tale of romance set in Alabama and New Orleans, with the fuss and furor of the sixties, and, as backdrop, a rampant cry for black equality. Hero (or anti-hero) Bo Lander Halston finds the love of his life in neighborhood charmer, Josie Lee Childers, and she in him-though not entirely in him, and after she moves off to New Orleans as a student at Tulane University, with him soon to follow as an up-and-coming reporter for the Times-Picayune. At a climactic moment she falls in with a luscious New Orleans stripper, with Bo as the go-between-a satisfactory arrangement till he gives way to a furious jealously and returns to his other young love, a basketballer and Miss Everything named Alva Gray Littleton, who promises him devotion and lasting contentment amid the strife and turmoil of an uncertain world.
Download or read book The Red Sweet Wine Of Youth written by Nicholas Murray and published by Abacus. This book was released on 2011-02-03 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poetry that emerged from the trenches of WWI is a remarkable body of work, at once political manifesto and literary beacon for the twentieth century. In this passionate recreation of the lives of the greatest poets to come out of the conflict, Nicholas Murray brilliantly reveals the men themselves as well as the struggle of the artist to live fully and to bear witness in the annihilating squalor of battle. Bringing into sharp focus the human detail of each life, using journals, letters and literary archives, Murray brings to life the men's indissoluble comradeship, their complex sexual mores and their extraordinary courage. Poignant, vivid and unfailingly intelligent, Nicholas Murray's study offers new and finely tuned insight into the - often devastatingly brief - lives of a remarkable generation of men.
Download or read book Testament of Youth written by Vera Brittain and published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. This book was released on 2009-07-16 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic memoir of the First World War is now a major motion picture starring Alicia Vikander and Kit Harington. Includes an afterword by Kate Mosse OBE. In 1914 Vera Brittain was 20, and as war was declared she was preparing to study at Oxford. Four years later her life - and the life of her whole generation - had changed in a way that would have been unimaginable in the tranquil pre-war era. TESTAMENT OF YOUTH, one of the most famous autobiographies of the First World War, is Brittain's account of how she survived those agonising years; how she lost the man she loved; how she nursed the wounded and how she emerged into an altered world. A passionate record of a lost generation, it made Vera Brittain one of the best-loved writers of her time, and has lost none of its power to shock, move and enthral readers since its first publication in 1933.

This book was released on 2020-07-08 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about WAR--not the causes and results, not the planning and the campaigns, not the artillery and the bombs. It is about the heinous crimes committed by the combatants, the horrifying experiences of civilians, the devastation of cities and villages, the killing and the dying, the glory leading to revulsion and guilt, and the assimilation of suffering that either ends in death or in the triumph of the soul. It looks at the struggle of the church to remain faithful and the servants of the church who seek to bring sense and solace to the victims. It discusses antisemitism, racism, and war itself from biblical perspectives. It reveals the unjustifiable reasons for engaging in war and how this brings catastrophic results for all peoples--the mental instability of the survivors and the loss and grief of those on the home front. In war, how can men and women carry out the actions that they do? As Viktor Frankl writes: "After all, man is that being who has invented the gas chambers of Auschwitz; however, he is also that being who has entered those gas chambers upright, with the Lord's Prayer or the Shema Yisrael on his lips."

Download or read book Stand in the Trench Achilles written by Elizabeth Vandiver and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-02-18 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth Vandiver examines the ways in which British poets of the First World War used classical literature, culture, and history as a source of images, ideas, and even phrases for their own poetry. Vandiver argues that classics was a crucial source for writers from a wide variety of backgrounds, from working-class poets to those educated in public schools, and for a wide variety of political positions and viewpoints. Poets used references to classics both to support and to oppose the war from its beginning all the way to the Armistice and after. By exploring the importance of classics in the poetry of the First World War, Vandiver offers a new perspective on that poetry and on the history of classics in British culture.
