Download or read book Nemesis written by Philip Roth and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-10-04 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Set in a close-knit Newark neighborhood during a terrifying polio outbreak in 1944, a “book [that] has the elegance of a fable and the tragic inevitability of a Greek drama” (The New Yorker)—from the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of American Pastoral. Bucky Cantor is a vigorous, dutiful twenty-three-year-old playground director during the summer of 1944. A javelin thrower and weightlifter, he is disappointed with himself because his weak eyes have excluded him from serving in the war alongside his contemporaries. As the devastating disease begins to ravage Bucky’s playground, Roth leads us through every inch of emotion such a pestilence can breed: fear, panic, anger, bewilderment, suffering, and pain. Moving between the streets of Newark and a pristine summer camp high in the Poconos, Nemesis tenderly and startlingly depicts Cantor’s passage into personal disaster, the condition of childhood, and the painful effect that the wartime polio epidemic has on a closely-knit, family-oriented Newark community and its children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freedom and Economic Order is the second of three volumes comprising a comprehensive study of freedom and American society.

Volume III, Limited Government and the Death of God, explores the historical rise of freedom in the West and various modern and postmodern threats to the preservation and vitality of the free society.

Download or read book The Imagined Civil War written by Alice Fahs and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2010-03-15 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking work of cultural history, Alice Fahs explores a little-known and fascinating side of the Civil War--the outpouring of popular literature inspired by the conflict. From 1861 to 1865, authors and publishers in both the North and the South produced a remarkable variety of war-related compositions, including poems, songs, children's stories, romances, novels, histories, and even humorous pieces. Fahs mines these rich but long-neglected resources to recover the diversity of the war's political and social meanings. Instead of narrowly portraying the Civil War as a clash between two great, white armies, popular literature offered a wide range of representations of the conflict and helped shape new modes of imagining the relationships of diverse individuals to the nation. Works that explored the war's devastating impact on white women's lives, for example, proclaimed the importance of their experiences on the home front, while popular writings that celebrated black manhood and heroism in the wake of emancipation helped readers begin to envision new roles for blacks in American life. Recovering a lost world of popular literature, The Imagined Civil War adds immeasurably to our understanding of American life and letters at a pivotal point in our history.

Download or read book Abraham Lincoln written by John Albertson Ingham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: An Address Delivered at the Commencement Exercises of the Irvington High School in the Town Hall, Irvington, N. Y., Thursday Evening, June 26, 1902 This address was prepared for the Commencement Exercises of the Class of 1902 of the Irvington High School, the allusion in the first paragraph being to the motto of the graduating class, "Out of the life of the school into the school of life." Save for the omission of some introductory remarks relating to the occasion, rather than the subject, of the address, the manuscript is followed, substantially as first written, including some portions which were passed over in speaking for lack of time. In the preparation of the address free use was made of Miss Tarbell's Life of Lincoln, published by McClure, Phillips, & Co.; of Lincoln's Complete Works, edited by Nicolay and Hay, and published by the Century Company; of Lincoln in Story, by S. G. Pratt, published by D. Appleton & Co.; and of Six Months at the White House, by F. B. Carpenter (now out of print). Grateful acknowledgment is due to Miss Tarbell, Mrs. Carpenter, and the several publishers named, for their courteous permission to print extracts from the works mentioned above. The printing of this address is due to no conviction of the author's that he has thrown new light upon Lincoln's character or said anything new upon a theme of perennial interest and significance for 'Americans, but rather to the gratifying and generous interest of the esteemed friends to whom the dedication refers.
