Download or read book The Doll Funeral written by Kate Hamer and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[Evokes] both Jeanette Winterson and Ian McEwan . . . an elegiac and uplifting novel about the indissoluble bonds between mothers and daughters, and a reminder of how the imagination can set you free.” — The Guardian On Ruby’s thirteenth birthday, a wish she didn’t even know she had suddenly comes true: the couple who raised her aren’t her parents at all. Her real mother and father are out there somewhere, and Ruby becomes determined to find them. Venturing into the forest with nothing but a suitcase and the company of her only true friend—the imaginary Shadow Boy—Ruby discovers a group of siblings who live alone in the woods. The children take her in, and while they offer the closest Ruby’s ever had to a family, Ruby begins to suspect that they might need her even more than she needs them. And it’s not always clear what’s real and what’s not—or who’s trying to help her and who might be a threat. Told from shifting timelines, and the alternating perspectives of teenage Ruby; her mother, Anna; and even the Shadow Boy, The Doll Funeral is a dazzling follow-up to Kate Hamer’s breakout debut, The Girl in the Red Coat, and a gripping, exquisitely mysterious novel about the connections that remain after a family has been broken apart.

Book excerpt: Is there an alternative to popular images of Spain – sun, sea, sand and sangria, a hectic night life, art in Madrid, Las Fallas in Valencia, a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, running with bulls in Pamplona, flamenco in Sevilla and tomato hurling in La Tomatina? Yes, a different Spain! Can you imagine being a Celt, a Roman or a Moor, or life as a peasant farmer, or a modern-day politician squandering EU grants? Imagine… gnarled fishermen on the wild Coast of Death, people toiling in fields growing lavender and saffron, or Cervantes wandering around La Mancha gazing at Consuegra windmills, or an athlete standing on a faded Olympic diving board.

Covering relics of old times, medieval towns, recent and new abandoned locations, OUT OF SIGHT SPAIN shows the way to cool, unusual, often well-hidden remains. Hike on a remote scary trail, or go underground to homes, salt mines and sewers, or stand watching the sunset at Worlds End. Contemplate fascinating artifacts of land, sea and air. Visit vestiges of the Civil War and WW2. Find different perspectives on the big cities of Spain. Reflect on the future of old village bars, rural hamlets at a crossroad, Sergio Leone’s film locations, modern day visionaries, heroes, painters and sex workers, enjoying some traditional gastronomy along the way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currawongs appearing at the Manor in vast numbers had come to portend one thing... Death was on its way. When photographer Elizabeth Thorrington is invited to document the history of Currawong Manor for a book, she is keen to investigate a mystery from years before: the disappearance of her grandfather, the notorious artist Rupert Partridge, and the deaths of his wife, Doris, and daughter, Shalimar. For years, locals have speculated whether it was terrible tragedy or a double murder, but until now, the shocking truth of what happened at the Manor that day has remained a secret. Relocating to the manor, Elizabeth interviews Ginger Flower, one of Rupert's life models from the seventies, and Dolly Shaw, the daughter of the enigmatic 'dollmaker' who seems to have been protected over the years by the Partridge family. Elizabeth is sure the two women know what happened all those years ago, but neither will share their truths unconditionally. And in the surrounding Owlbone Woods, a haunting presence still lurks, waiting for the currawongs to gather... An evocative tale set in the spectacular Blue Mountains, Currawong Manor is a mystery of art, truth and the ripple effects of death and deception.

Download or read book Handbook of Polish Czech and Slovak Holocaust Fiction written by Elisa-Maria Hiemer and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-06-21 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Polish, Czech, and Slovak Holocaust Fiction aims to increase the visibility and show the versatility of works from East-Central European countries. It is the first encyclopedic work to bridge the gap between the literary production of countries that are considered to be main sites of the Holocaust and their recognition in international academic and public discourse. It contains over 100 entries offering not only facts about the content and motifs but also pointing out the characteristic fictional features of each work and its meaning for academic discourse and wider reception in the country of origin and abroad. The publication will appeal to the academic and broader public interested in the representation of the Holocaust, anti-Semitism, and World War II in literature and the arts. Besides prose, it also considers poetry and theatrical plays from 1943 through 2018. An introduction to the historical events and cultural developments in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Czech, and Slovak Republic, and their impact on the artistic output helps to contextualise the motif changes and fictional strategies that authors have been applying for decades. The publication is the result of long-term scholarly cooperation of specialists from four countries and several dozen academic centres.
Download or read book Communist Propaganda at School written by Joanna Wojdon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-10 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communist Propaganda at School is based on an analysis of reading primers from the Soviet bloc and recreates the world as presented to the youngest schoolchildren who started their education between 1949 and 1989 across the nine Eastern European countries. The author argues that those first textbooks, from their first to last pages, were heavily laden with communist propaganda, and that they share similar concepts, techniques and even contents, even if some national specificities can be observed. This volume reconstructs the image of the world presented to schoolchildren in the first books they were required to read in their school life, and argues that the image was charged with communist propaganda. The book is based on the analysis of over sixty reading primers from nine countries of the Soviet bloc: Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia from the period. Written with simplicity and straightforwardness, this book will be a valuable resource, not only to international academics dealing with the issues of propaganda, censorship, education, childhood and everyday life under communism in Eastern and Central Europe, but can also academics dealing with education under communism or with the content of primary education. It also brings educational experiences of the Soviet bloc to international researchers, in particular to researchers of education under totalitarian and authoritarian regimes.
Download or read book Memory and Fabrication in East Asian Visual Culture written by Dennitza Gabrakova and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-18 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines four contemporary sites of visual culture in East Asia through the poetic prism of the “ruinous garden.” Framing destroyed, discarded, and displaced material objects within a rhetoric of development and relating this to the experience of ethnic/national culture, the book presents succinct analyses of visual works, as well as cultural criticisms, centered on space in metropolitan Japan and Hong Kong, China. These analyses are placed in dialog with approaches from postcolonial texts, addressing development and fractures in representation. Additionally, the book suggests graphic design as a form of retrospective cultural thinking, encompassing visual and invisible modernity, as well as an attachment to disappearing space. Offering a unique and thorough analysis of Japanese visual culture, combining discussion on photography, installation art, and graphic design, as well as integrating material from Hong Kong visual culture in discussions of identity, this book will appeal to students and scholars of visual culture in East Asia, environmental art, and environmental humanities.
Download or read book Narrative Design and Authorship in Bloodborne written by Madelon Hoedt and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2019-11-06 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the vein of their cult-classic dark fantasy titles Demon's Souls (2009) and the Dark Souls franchise (2011, 2014, 2016), game developers FromSoftware released the bleak Gothic horror Bloodborne in 2015. Players are cast in the role of hunters in a hostile land, probing the shadowy city of Yharnam in search of "paleblood." The game achieved iconic status as both a horror and an action title for its rich lore and for the continuity of story elements through all aspects of game design. This first full-length study examines Bloodborne's themes of dangerous knowledge and fatal pride and its aesthetics in the context of other works on game studies, horror and the Gothic. The book's three parts focus on lore and narrative, the game's nightmarish world, and its mechanics.
