Book excerpt: The incredible true story of a young girl who navigated dangerous forests, outwitted Nazi soldiers, and survived against all odds with the companionship of a stray cat.

But at the age of twelve, as the German invasion begins, her beloved village becomes a ghetto and her family and friends reduced to starvation. She takes matters into her own hands and bravely removes her yellow star, risking sneaking out to the surrounding villages to barter for food. It is on her way back that she sees her loved ones rounded up for deportation, and receives a smuggled letter from her sister warning her to stay away. In order to survive, she walks away from everything she holds dear to live by herself in the forest, hiding not just from the Nazis but hostile villagers. She is followed by a stray cat who stays with her—and seems to come to her rescue time and time again. "Malach" the cat becomes her family and her only respite from painful loneliness, a guide, and areminder to stay hopeful even when faced with unfathomable darkness. Filled with remarkable spiritual strength that allows readers to see the war through the innocence of a child's eyes, Mala's Cat is a powerful and unique addition to the Holocaust canon.

Download or read book Possible Scotlands written by Caroline McCracken-Flesher and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-09-22 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No thanks to Walter Scott, Scotland has at last regained its parliament. If this statement sounds extreme, it echoes the tone that criticism of Scott and his culture has taken through the twentieth century. Scott is supposed to have provided stories of the past that allowed his country no future--that pushed it "out of history." Scotland has become a place so absorbed in nostalgia that it could not construct a politics for a changing world. Possible Scotlands disagrees. It argues that the tales Scott told, however romanticized, also provided for a national future. They do not tell the story of a Scotland lost in time and lacking value. Instead they open up a narrative space where the nation is always imaginable. This book reads across Scott's complex characters and plots, his many personae, his interventions in his nation's nineteenth-century politics, to reveal the author as an energetic producer of literary and national culture working to prevent a simple or singular message. Indeed, Scott invites readers into his texts to develop multiple and forward-looking interpretations of a Scotland always in formation. Scott's texts and his nation are alive in their constant retelling. Scott was an author for Scotland's new times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume set collects 300 of the most entertaining and important folk and fairy tales of Giuseppe Pitré, a nineteenth century Sicilian folklorist whose significance ranks alongside the Brothers Grimm. In stark contrast to the more literary ambitions of the Grimms' tales, Pitré’s possess a charming, earthy quality that reflect the customs, beliefs, and superstitions of the common people more clearly than any other European folklore collection of the 19th century. Edited, translated, and with a critical introduction by world-renowned folk and fairy tale experts Jack Zipes and Joseph Russo, this is the first collection of Pitré’s tales available in English. Carmelo Letterer's illustrations throughout the volume are as lively and vivid as the stories themselves, illuminating the remarkable imagination captured in the tales.

His stories are set in recognizable places—London, Cambodia, tomorrow—and feature men and women caught in recognizable situations (or technologies) and not sure which way to turn. They, we, should obviously choose what's right. But what if that's difficult? What will we do? What we should, or . . . ? Paradise Tales builds on the success of his most recent novel, The King's Last Song, and on the three Cambodian stories included here, "The Last Ten Years of the Hero Kai," "Blocked," and the exceedingly-popular "Pol Pot's Beautiful Daughter." Paradise Tales includes stories selected from the many periods of Ryman’s career including “Birth Days,” “Omnisexual,” “The Film-makers of Mars,” and a new story, “K is for Kosovo (or, Massimo’s Career).” To complement this first full-length short story collection, Small Beer Press is reprinting Ryman's backlist: Was, The Child Garden, and a book of four novellas, The Unconquered Countries, with new introductions to continue to build the readership of one of the most fascinating writers exploring the edges of being, gender, science, and fiction.

Book excerpt: SYNOPSIS This tale traces a part of the life of Yash and his doctor friends, namely Tania, Maahi, Krishna, Siddhanta and Balminder. This story and theme are one of those which has been attempted for the first time. There have been stories on general doctors but never especially on DENTISTS or their life. A dentist ever shown in movies is generally depicted as a funny or a stupid or a desperate person. This story takes the reader inside a ‘Dental College’ and ‘A hospital’ to bring out the incidents that go on. These include a viva, argument with teachers, a doctor slapping his mate in front of the patients and getting two notices from the principal. A strike against the hike in fees and its ‘political’ end by the college management, the chaos when a HOD enters the department, the atmosphere before a Dental council inspection in the college. From viewing surgeries performed by their favourite teachers to finally the feeling of going and registering as one... The Toothful Tale covers it all. It all starts on a train in which a young dentist (Yash) is going for his Internship. In the train, he finds company with a girl (Anvesha) who is a first-year student in his college. The girl forgets to ask what Yash does and a hilarious incident tells Anvesha that Yash is a senior in her own college! A tale in which, young doctors learn to examine and deal with a variety of patients ranging from a man who has Trigeminal Neuralgia (The worlds worst skull-cracking headache) to a woman who cannot close her mouth due to Mandibular Dislocation. They see a patient who has broken a safety pin in his tooth, keep cool when one comes and fights with them, meet a crying 55-year man who holds their feet and then a 70-year-old man who desires to die instead of living in pain. From a 16 year old boy who has a life threatening allergic reaction called as Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis to a dead body that has the brain and eye hanging out. From a 15 yr boy who has Psoriatic Arthritis, to a 35-year-old woman who has Pemphigus Vulgaris - The most deadly skin disease in the world. They take part in the surgery on a case of Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis and enjoy the comments made by the operating dentist. It also traces the thoughts of the new doctors as they encounter these cases. They on their part, try to deal with the inhuman attitude of the nurses and the ward boys toward the ailing patients and do their part in making life easy and comfortable for the ailing... They find around them many serious things that include infanticide in the sewer and studying for a good life. They play with small kids, cry over the thought of being bad to parents, feel happy when good incidents come in others life, listen to a real-life story told by a Railway Engine Driver From discussing dowry to bringing out a small truth in today’s most marriages; and doing their part to help and punish some dastardly acts such as eve-teasing, child abuse and trying to stop a group of rioters of a political party. They enjoy hilarious incidents over a year such as puncturing a teacher’s car tyre to impersonating one at a conference. They go for tours, live for two days without electricity and sometimes race cars at night on the Marine Drive. From using their sophisticated dental instruments to handling weird and irresistible gadgets, from discussing funny errors taking place in the clinics with patients to saving innocent juniors from ragging, they do it all... A friendship story that starts in a train and unknowingly blooms into a heart tickling love tale. A tale that brings out the feelings of a boy and a girl when they go out together for the first time on an outing, a tale that tells about the pleasures of sneaking out of the hostel for the thrill of getting wet in the rain with someone you like. Some different ideas of romance wherein, they go for a round through the wards of a hospital, get their teeth cleaned on a dental chair and recreate the appearance of a 13 year old young boy with a broken tooth. A story in which, a proposal on the Yamuna Bridge gets its suitable reply in the world’s finest building - The Taj Mahal. There is love, fun and then there is the girl slapping the boy for his mistake that nearly costs him his life.

Download or read book A Servant s Tale A Novel written by Paula Fox and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2011-06-06 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A rare and wondrous thing....[Fox] knows how to create a character."—Vogue Luisa de la Cueva was born on the Caribbean island of Malagita, of a plantation owner's son and a native woman, a servant in the kitchen. Her years on Malagita were sweet with the beauty of bamboo, banana, and mango trees with flocks of silver-feathered guinea hens underneath, the magic of a victrola, and the caramel flan that Mama sneaked home from the plantation kitchen. Luisa's father, fearing revolution, takes his family to New York. In the barrio his once-powerful name means nothing, and the family establishes itself in a basement tenement. For Luisa, Malagita becomes a dream. Luisa does not dream of going to college, as her friend Ellen does, or of winning the lottery, as her father does. She takes a job as a servant and, paradoxically, grows more independent. She marries and later raises a son alone. She works as a servant all her life. A Servant's Tale is the story of a life that is simple on the surface but full of depth and richness as we come to know it, a story told with consummate grace and compassion by Paula Fox.
