Now with a new afterword, this edition stands as an invaluable contribution to American social history. "The genius of Like a Family lies in its effortless integration of the history of the family--particularly women--into the history of the cotton-mill world.--Ira Berlin, New York Times Book Review "Like a Family is history, folklore, and storytelling all rolled into one. It is a living, revelatory chronicle of life rarely observed by the academe. A powerhouse.--Studs Terkel "Here is labor history in intensely human terms. Neither great impersonal forces nor deadening statistics are allowed to get in the way of people. If students of the New South want both the dimensions and the feel of life and labor in the textile industry, this book will be immensely satisfying.--Choice

Download or read book Three Centuries written by M.C. Van Hall and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three Centuries is the captivating and once in awhile intense story about eight members of the Van Hall family, who, from father to son, narrate their experiences. It starts in 1660 around Arnhem; then Leiden and Vianen. And finally Amsterdam, where Maurits Cornelis (1768 – 1858), the patriarch of the Amsterdam Van Halls, settled in 1787. It becomes clear to the reader why Maurits van Hall, although initially a Patriot in the battle against Napoleon, started to consider Orange as the symbol of our national unity and liberation. This does not apply to his oldest brother Adriaan Teyler van Hall because, he with his friend Engel van de Stadt, became pirates. He stayed anti-English and anti-Orange. A persistent legend is settled that Jan Dereck baron van Capelle was murdered by a poison letter sent to him by a high placed political opponent. Years later Government-Minister Floris van Hall was also accused of getting rid of opponents through this method, but he was never charged. A separate chapter is devoted to the Réveil and the Separatists. Jointly with Anne Maurits Cornelis (1818 – 1844) we first meet Da Costa, Koenen, Capadose and de Clercq and later Reverend Scholte and Reverend Budding. The shameful persecution of the Separatists was forcefully denounced by Anne Maurits. Later, in the classic liberal period, the reader is taken along to grand parties in the curve of the Herengracht. Dinners with twelve courses! This a lovely period in the history of the family. Only a few of them realized at that time that the origins of the liberal period contained the seeds of it’s dissolution and that change was coming soon. This brings us to World War Two and Walraven van Hall (1906 – 1945), the “Oiler” and ultimately the Minister – President of the Dutch Resistance. In 2018 a movie was made about his life “Resistance Banker” available on Netflix. There is also a chapter devoted to the city of Hattem, where in the beginning of the century the various revolutions had not yet arrived and life had the imprint of the Middle Ages. ?As is often the case, the “little” personal histories win out from the official historiography. In particular because the Van Halls are entertaining story tellers who do not take themselves all the time too seriously, although it is funny to read how they could get all excited about events, that in the framework of history was of little or no significance.

Download or read book Family Happiness written by Laurie Colwin and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-11-18 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If anyone wrote eloquently and magnificently about affairs of the heart, it was Laurie Colwin.” —San Francisco Chronicle At first glance, Polly Solo-Miller Demarest appears to have it all. The only daughter of a distinguished and close-knit family, she marries a handsome lawyer named Henry (just like her father and brother) and has two adorable and well-behaved children, Pete and Dee-Dee. She lives in a comfortable Park Avenue apartment, works three days a week in a rewarding job at the Board of Education, and spends every August in Maine. People regularly tell her, with admiration and envy, that she has life aced. What no one suspects is that this perfect daughter, wife, and mother, always so eager to see to the happiness of others, would be willing to risk everything for love. From the moment she encounters his beautiful portraits in a group show, Polly cannot get Lincoln Bennett out of her mind. Soon she and the solitary, kindhearted painter are wrapped up in a deep and thrilling romance, and Polly has never felt more euphoric—or more terrified. Previously she divided women into two groups—those who have affairs and those who do not—and placed herself firmly in the latter category. How could she have been so wrong? And what does her passion for Lincoln say about the genuine pleasure she takes in her marriage and her family? A sophisticated, sincere, and ultimately hopeful novel about the search for fulfillment, Family Happiness is a testament to the clarity of Laurie Colwin’s vision and the elegance of her craft. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Laurie Colwin including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.
