Download or read book The Picnic written by Walter Levy and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Picnics are happy occasions and have always been a diversion from every day cares. We think of the picnic as an outdoor meal, set on a blanket, usually in the middle of the day, featuring a hamper filled with tasty morsels and perhaps a bottle of wine, but historically picnics came in many forms, served any time of the day. This first culinary history reveals rustic outdoor dining in its more familiar and unusual forms, the history of the word itself, the cultural context of picnics and who arranged them, and, most important, the gastronomic appeal. Drawing on various media and literature, painting, music, and even sculpture, Walter Levy provides an engaging and enlightening history of the picnic.
Download or read book The Impossible Picnic written by Mark Tursi and published by Blazevox Books. This book was released on 2007 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. "Mark Tursi's IMPOSSIBLE PICNIC sets up camp not on grassy Romantic heights but on the astroturf of our mental backyards and interiors. In its wild juxtapositions and deadpan humor, one hears unsettling echoes emanating from the 'vapory camaraderie' of modernism. Here 'the world is all this, plus the world,' as the title propels us toward a super-abundance that only initially seems 'impossible.'--Elizabeth Willis. "Bold and clear words set in a bracing array of different forms. The poet's words capture backyard events and sweep across vast distances and great stretches of time. There are intense emotions here, longing and desolation, and exhilaration and hilarity; there are sarcastic and cruel reactions. Surges of longing and lust are devious and uncommitted. The reader is enriched by all the perplexities Mark Tursi's ravenous eyes churn up"-- Alphonso Lingis. "Mark Tursi is in the forefront of the young poets for whom the word 'poem' means an act of intelligence and of emotional investigation which can take any form and investigate any area of human suffering and joy. His work is tough, and, beautiful in a new engagement"--Bin Ramke.

Download or read book The Impossible Climb written by Mark Synnott and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER NEW YORK TIMES MONTHLY BESTSELLER One of the 10 Best Books of March, Paste Magazine A deeply reported insider perspective of Alex Honnold’s historic achievement and the culture and history of climbing. “One of the most compelling accounts of a climb and the climbing ethos that I've ever read.”—Sebastian Junger In Mark Synnott’s unique window on the ethos of climbing, his friend Alex Honnold’s astonishing free solo ascent of El Capitan’s 3,000 feet of sheer granite is the central act. When Honnold topped out at 9:28 A.M. on June 3, 2017, having spent fewer than four hours on his historic ascent, the world gave a collective gasp. The New York Times described it as “one of the great athletic feats of any kind, ever.” Synnott’s personal history of his own obsession with climbing since he was a teenager—through professional climbing triumphs and defeats, and the dilemmas they render—makes this a deeply reported, enchanting revelation about living life to the fullest. What are we doing if not an impossible climb? Synnott delves into a raggedy culture that emerged decades earlier during Yosemite’s Golden Age, when pioneering climbers like Royal Robbins and Warren Harding invented the sport that Honnold would turn on its ear. Painting an authentic, wry portrait of climbing history and profiling Yosemite heroes and the harlequin tribes of climbers known as the Stonemasters and the Stone Monkeys, Synnott weaves in his own experiences with poignant insight and wit: tensions burst on the mile-high northwest face of Pakistan’s Great Trango Tower; fellow climber Jimmy Chin miraculously persuades an official in the Borneo jungle to allow Honnold’s first foreign expedition, led by Synnott, to continue; armed bandits accost the same trio at the foot of a tower in the Chad desert . . . The Impossible Climb is an emotional drama driven by people exploring the limits of human potential and seeking a perfect, choreographed dance with nature. Honnold dared far beyond the ordinary, beyond any climber in history. But this story of sublime heights is really about all of us. Who doesn’t need to face down fear and make the most of the time we have?
