Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To desire something is to wish for it. To wish for it , to hope, Hope inspires faith. Faith influences family. Family fosters love. And love is our greatest desire.” By Mina P. Barry Imagine finding a story circa 1938, written by your deceased Mother when she was just 18 years old. Imagine reading it and discovering a novel so compelling, you forget who the author was and become immersed in a revelation of a family’s settlement years in the burgeoning West of the late 1800’s to the 1930’s. The charm of “The Jordans’ Journey”, a work of approximately 41,000 words, comes from its authenticity. The author, Mina Pruitt Barry, our mother, was a second-generation settler who was privy to the memories of her grandmother, Melissa Jordan Knight, who lived in Nebraska during our nation’s Westward Expansion. Mina was a talented writer when she penned this original piece, working at the same time as a journalist at a newspaper in Iowa, “The Daily Chief.” Upon reading her work, we, as educators, saw its merit and potential. We heard her “voice” and took the fledgling story to its present state. Synopsis Short Synopsis of “The Jordans’ Journey” by Susan Barry Burton and Patricia Barry Haggerty based on the work of Mina Pruitt Barry. In the beginning, the protagonists, Bruce and Vi Jordan, leave Illinois to pursue a new life in the Nebraska Territory. Can they successfully establish a viable life on the prairie? Can they overcome problems from their pasts?
Download or read book Every Day The River Changes written by Jordan Salama and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exhilarating travelogue for a new generation about a journey along Colombia’s Magdalena River, exploring life by the banks of a majestic river now at risk, and how a country recovers from conflict. "Richly observed." —Liesl Schillinger, The New York Times Book Review An American writer of Argentine, Syrian, and Iraqi Jewish descent, Jordan Salama tells the story of the Río Magdalena, nearly one thousand miles long, the heart of Colombia. This is Gabriel García Márquez’s territory—rumor has it Macondo was partly inspired by the port town of Mompox—as much as that of the Middle Eastern immigrants who run fabric stores by its banks. Following the river from its source high in the Andes to its mouth on the Caribbean coast, journeying by boat, bus, and improvised motobalinera, Salama writes against stereotype and toward the rich lives of those he meets. Among them are a canoe builder, biologists who study invasive hippopotamuses, a Queens transplant managing a failing hotel, a jeweler practicing the art of silver filigree, and a traveling librarian whose donkeys, Alfa and Beto, haul books to rural children. Joy, mourning, and humor come together in this astonishing debut, about a country too often seen as only a site of war, and a tale of lively adventure following a legendary river.
Download or read book Jordan s Point Virginia written by Martha W. McCartney and published by Virginia Department of Historic Resource. This book was released on 2011 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jordan's Point, a nearly triangular promontory in the James River, is situated in Prince George County, just east of the confluence of the James and Appomattox Rivers. A broad terrace overlooking the James, Jordan's Point is bounded by small streams, tidal marshes, and protective uplands that rise to a height of 100 feet or more. In 1607, when the first European colonists saw Jordan's Point, it was graced by the homes and cleared fields of natives they would call the Weyanoke. Virginia colonist Samuel Jordan established a community called Jordan's Journey around 1621, giving his name to what became known as Jordan's Point. In time, the settlement became a hub of social and political life. By 1660, Jordan's Point had come into the possession of the Blands, one of England's most important mercantile families. They leased their property to one or more of their agents, usually merchants and mariners involved in inter-colonial trade. Richard Bland I and his descendants developed Jordan's Point into a family seat and working plantation they retained until after the Civil War. At Jordan's Point enslaved men, women, and children toiled in the fields, enabling the Blands to prosper. Richard Bland IV went on to become a distinguished American patriot, and one of his sons became a physician. Featuring more than one hundred photos and illustrations, most in color, and intended for a general reader, Jordan's Point, Virginia: Archaeology in Perspective, Prehistoric to Modern Times tells the story of Jordan's Point, which spans thousands of years, through the cultural features that archaeologists have unearthed there. This is a book that will attract readers interested in Native American studies, Virginia and colonial history, and archaeology. Distributed for the Virginia Department of Historic Resources
Download or read book Journey Through Jordan written by Mohammed Amin and published by Interlink Publishing Group. This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacred Eroticism: Georges Bataille and Pierre Klossowski in the Latin American Erotic Novel addresses a neglected chapter in the field of Latin American literature: the influence of Georges Bataille and Pierre Klossowski's atheist mysticism in the Latin American erotic novel of the twentieth century. Combining a Lacanian analytical framework with an (inter)textual approach, Juan Carlos Ubilluz reveals how Julio Cort&3225;zar, Salvador Elizondo, Mario Vargas Llosa, and Juan García Ponce adopted Bataille and Klossowski's aesthetic and philosophical models as a point of departure to rearticulate the modern subject's buried dimension of the sacred through various innovations on the erotic novel's form. Ubilluz also examines the dialectical irruption of these literary experiments into their particular aesthetic, theoretical, and political contexts; showing, for instance, that Cortázar's Rayuela and Elizondo's Farabeuf reintroduce a Bataillean sense of tragedy into the secularist nouveau roman, that Garía Ponce exemplifies the Barthian death of the Author by 'copying' with originality the form and content of Klossowski's novels, and that Vargas Llosa's Los cuadernos de don Rigoberto gives an unbecoming neo-liberal spin to Bataille and Klossowski's anti-capitalist theorization of the sacred.

Download or read book Live from Jordan written by Benjamin ORBACH and published by AMACOM Div American Mgmt Assn. This book was released on 2007-04-30 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the eve of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Pittsburgh native and graduate student Ben Orbach traveled to the Middle East to experience the region first-hand. Despite having a degree in Middle Eastern studies, he was completely unprepared for what he discovered. Beyond the anti-American sentiment he expected, he found a complex, curious people whose lives were made even more difficult by an overwhelming feeling of powerlessness. Live from Jordan is the story, told via his letters home, of Orbach's one year trip through Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Palestine, and Turkey. As he begins his unforgettable journey which takes him from bustling bazaars to underground brothels, he meets all kinds of characters: a falafel cook who hates Americans because they "have no mercy," a kindly baker who wishes him "peace and blessings" every time he buys pita bread, and the curious, impassioned 21-year-old medical student with a penchant for debating U.S. foreign policy. From the angry streets of Cairo to the living rooms of ordinary people in Jordan and Palestine, Orbach offers an honest, balanced portrait of a region in turmoil and the vivid, misunderstood, and often welcoming people who inhabit it. With humor and wit, he sheds new light on a culture that few Americans understand. Engaging and evocative, Live from Jordan is a myth-breaking book that combines the lyricism of a travelogue with the insight of reportage.
