Download or read book The Moor s Account written by Laila Lalami and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST • A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • The imagined memoirs of the first black explorer of America—this "stunning [book] sheds light on all of the possible the New World exploration stories that didn’t make history” (Huffington Post). In these pages, Laila Lalami brings us the invented memoirs Mustafa al-Zamori, called Estebanico. The slave of a Spanish conquistador, Estebanico sails for the Americas with his master, Dorantes, as part of a danger-laden expedition to Florida. Within a year, Estebanico is one of only four crew members to survive. As he journeys across America with his Spanish companions, the Old World roles of slave and master fall away, and Estebanico remakes himself as an equal, a healer, and a remarkable storyteller. His tale illuminates the ways in which our narratives can transmigrate into history—and how storytelling can offer a chance at redemption and survival.

Download or read book The Moor of Venice written by Giovanni Battista Giraldi and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work from which the plot and story of Shakspere's 'Othello' are taken, belongs to that class of Italian novels which arose out of the popularity of Boccaccio's Decamerone, and was fostered by the taste prevalent in Italy during the fifteenth and sixtcenth centuries. Although occasionally we meet with a tale of merit or interest, and a certain charm in style and language, these but partially atone for a coarse licentiousness, a reflection of the times, which, notwithstanding that it received the seal and license of the Inquisitor, who proclaims them consonos sanctæ Ecclesiœ et ab Apostolica Fide non abhorrere, offend the moral sense of a purer age. This story of the Moor of Venice may be taken as a favourable specimen of the better class: it is contained in a collection of a hundred tales, entitled, 'Gli Hecatommithi,' by Giovan Battista Giraldi Cinthio,—a work which has been rescued from oblivion simply by the accident of its having furnished the muse of Shakspere with the plot and incidents of his 'Othello.' The author was a nobleman of Ferrara, and a professor of philosophy in that city: it is somewhat amusing to read the terms in which he speaks of the composition of his work, in connection with his "grave studies of philosophy,"—"by the light of which, the fount and origin of laudable habits, and of all honest discipline, and likewise of every virtue, I have sought to perfect my work, which is wholly directed, with much variety of examples, to censure vicious actions and to praise honest ones,—to make men fly from vice and embrace virtue." What could the reader expect after this proem, (which is found totidem verbis in all the books of this school,) but a work of untarnished purity and morality?—all I can say is, he would be disappointed.

Download or read book Miriam A Tale of Pole Moor and the Greenfield Hills written by D. F. E. Sykes and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fiction presents a thrilling murder mystery connecting the lead characters to The Burn Platts, an area above Slaithwaite near Pole Moor where some Romanies lived around the time of an incident that occurred in 1832, at the Moorcock Inn, on the border of the bleak moorland above Greenfield near Saddleworth. At this isolated pub, the landlord and his gamekeeper son were brutally murdered. This quest to find the murders is worth reading. The gripping plot, memorable characters, and unique writing style make this work enjoyable. This work includes significant portions of the dialect used at that time in the region when Greenfield was a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. The local Saddleworth author, D. F. E. Sykes, has tried to reproduce this phonetically using the traditional alphabet. This work is a must-read for anyone curious about this dialect and, of course, all the murder mystery lovers.
