Download or read book Alice I Have Been written by Melanie Benjamin and published by Delacorte Press. This book was released on 2010-01-12 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BONUS: This edition contains an Alice I Have Been discussion guide and an excerpt from Melanie Benjamin's The Autobiography of Mrs. Tom Thumb. Few works of literature are as universally beloved as Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Now, in this spellbinding historical novel, we meet the young girl whose bright spirit sent her on an unforgettable trip down the rabbit hole–and the grown woman whose story is no less enthralling. But oh my dear, I am tired of being Alice in Wonderland. Does it sound ungrateful? Alice Liddell Hargreaves’s life has been a richly woven tapestry: As a young woman, wife, mother, and widow, she’s experienced intense passion, great privilege, and greater tragedy. But as she nears her eighty-first birthday, she knows that, to the world around her, she is and will always be only “Alice.” Her life was permanently dog-eared at one fateful moment in her tenth year–the golden summer day she urged a grown-up friend to write down one of his fanciful stories. That story, a wild tale of rabbits, queens, and a precocious young child, becomes a sensation the world over. Its author, a shy, stuttering Oxford professor, does more than immortalize Alice–he changes her life forever. But even he cannot stop time, as much as he might like to. And as Alice’s childhood slips away, a peacetime of glittering balls and royal romances gives way to the urgent tide of war. For Alice, the stakes could not be higher, for she is the mother of three grown sons, soldiers all. Yet even as she stands to lose everything she treasures, one part of her will always be the determined, undaunted Alice of the story, who discovered that life beyond the rabbit hole was an astonishing journey. A love story and a literary mystery, Alice I Have Been brilliantly blends fact and fiction to capture the passionate spirit of a woman who was truly worthy of her fictional alter ego, in a world as captivating as the Wonderland only she could inspire.
Download or read book You Made Me Love You written by John Edgar Wideman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful and “stunning” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) selection of the best of John Edgar Wideman’s short stories over his fifty-year career, representing the wide range of his intellectual and artistic pursuits. When John Edgar Wideman won the PEN Malamud Award in 2019, he joined a list of esteemed writers—from Eudora Welty to George Saunders—all of whom are acknowledged masters of the short story. Wideman’s commitment to short fiction has been lifelong, and here he gathers a representative selection from throughout his career, stories that “have a wary, brooding spirit, a lonely intelligence…[and] air the problem of consciousness, including the fragile contingency of our existence” (The New York Times). Wideman’s stories are grounded in the streets and the people of Homewood, the Pittsburgh neighborhood of his childhood, but they range far beyond there, to the small western towns of Wyoming and historic Philadelphia, the contemporary world and the ancient past. He explores the interior lives of his characters, and the external pressures that shape them. These stories are as intellectually intricate as they are rich with the language and character. “Wideman has been compared to William Faulkner and James Baldwin…[these] prove that he is every bit as masterful a cartographer of the American spirit as his forebears" (Esquire). Comprised of thirty-five stories drawn from past collections (American Histories, Briefs, God’s Gym, All Stories Are True, Fever, and Damballah), and an introductory essay by the National Book Critics Circle board member and scholar Walton Muyumba, this volume of Wideman’s selected stories celebrates the lifelong significance of this major American writer’s essential contribution to a form—illuminating the ways that he has made it his own. “If there were any doubts Wideman belongs to the American canon, this puts them to bed” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

Download or read book Ish written by Peter H. Reynolds and published by Candlewick Press. This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Features an audio read-along! A creative spirit learns that thinking “ish-ly” is far more wonderful than “getting it right” in this gentle new fable from the creator of the award-winning picture book The Dot. Ramon loved to draw. Anytime. Anything. Anywhere. Drawing is what Ramon does. It¹s what makes him happy. But in one split second, all that changes. A single reckless remark by Ramon's older brother, Leon, turns Ramon's carefree sketches into joyless struggles. Luckily for Ramon, though, his little sister, Marisol, sees the world differently. She opens his eyes to something a lot more valuable than getting things just "right." Combining the spareness of fable with the potency of parable, Peter Reynolds shines a bright beam of light on the need to kindle and tend our creative flames with care.
Download or read book Caterpillars Can t Fly written by Coleen Lindgren and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is full of allegories and parables, and Caterpillars Can't Fly was written as one more allegory to excite the imagination and inspire young readers to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of God by learning more about the creation. The Bible states that the invisible things of God are revealed by the visible world. God has been striving through the centuries to show himself to us in many ways, and this book is intended to be one of those varied ways God reveals Himself. Life is a journey, different and yet somehow the same for everyone. We start out as self-centered babies with an array of emotions that mothers and fathers love with differing degrees of unconditional love. As the world trains us to control our emotions and rely more on our minds, our identities change from that of helpless and dependent babies to that of men and women with some form of autonomy and control. But life on this earth is short, and the "control" stage of life inevitably comes to an end as we find ourselves slipping back into a helpless and dependent stage of life, this time usually without the unconditional love of a mother and father. Isaiah 60:17 states: "For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness." (KJV) That verse promises that God will replace whatever we lose with something of superior value. God's ultimate plan for us is that we establish a right relationship with Him based on trust in His unfailing love and fortified by a belief that He will reward those who diligently seek Him. Psalms 105:3b states: "Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord." (KJV)
