Download or read book The Last Journey of Ago Ymeri written by Bashkim Shehu and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2007-04-17 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a remote Albanian village, a place of banishment, a stranger appears, claiming to be Viktor Dragoti and looking for his long-lost love. That Viktor Dragoti has been dead for nine years, killed by the Albanian coast guard while trying to swim to freedom, only adds to the stranger's mystery--and to the suspense of this curiously real and yet otherworldly work by one of Albania's most distinguished writers. With echoes of The Return of Martin Guerre and Kafka's The Trial, with allusions to The Odyssey and the Albanian folktale of Ago Ymeri, a legendary hero released from the underworld for one day, Shehu's novel blends the autobiographical and the historical, the personal and the political into a powerful tale--a story that conveys the terrors, small and large, of a totalitarian state while capturing all that is surreal and even lyrical in life in such a deeply distorted world.

Download or read book Soutine s Last Journey written by Ralph Dutli and published by Seagull Library of German. This book was released on 2023-07-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a biographical novel that tells the story of Chaim Soutine, a Jewish painter from Belorussia who had to be smuggled back to Paris in 1943. August 6, 1943. Chaim Soutine, a Jewish painter from Belorussia and a contemporary of Chagall, Modigliani, and Picasso, is hidden in a hearse that's traveling from a small town on the Loire towards Nazi-occupied Paris. Suffering from a stomach ulcer, he urgently needs a life-saving operation. But the hearse must avoid the occupiers' checkpoints, and it becomes increasingly likely that he will not survive the journey. In a stream of extraordinary images, the morphine-induced artist hallucinates and remembers his life. He dreams of his childhood in Smilovichi near Minsk; his beginnings as a painter in Vilna; his arrival in 1913 in the art capital of the world, Paris, where he befriends Modigliani; and his survival of years of struggle and finding sudden success, only to be persecuted and forced into hiding when the Nazis invade. Back in the present, the painter believes that the power of milk is the only possible remedy for his ulcer. In his mind, he is traveling to a "white paradise"--a strange clinic where a "god in white" declares him healed but forbids him to paint. But for Soutine, neither paradise nor salvation exists if he cannot paint. So, he begins to paint again in secret, willing to pay the price of discovery. A brilliant biographical novel about childhood, longing, friendship, bodily pain, and the wounds of exile, Ralph Dutli's Soutine's Last Journey is ultimately an exploration of language and the power of art.

Download or read book Livingstone s Last Journey written by Sir Reginald Coupland and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Reginald Coupland was widely regarded as an authority on David Livingstone, a Scottish Congregationalist pioneer medical missionary and an explorer in Africa, who was one of the most popular national heroes of late-19th-century in Victorian Britain. Coupland’s previous works on African history include Kirk on the Zambesi (1928) and The Exploitation of East Africa, 1856-1890 (1939). Intended as a sequel to Kirk on the Zambesi, Livingstone’s Last Journey was written several years prior to its first publication in 1945, but was then laid aside while Coupland undertook a full-scale study of East African history. It then became due and ready for completion in the autumn of 1939, but was further delayed by the outbreak of World War II. This postponement proved profitable however, as in the course of the war new and valuable documentary material—in particular the Kirk and Waller Papers—became available and were thus able to be included in its eventual publication. A remarkable biographical account by an exceptional historian. “One of the soundest and best-balanced English biographies that I have had the satisfaction of reading for a very long time. It is a remarkable book.”—Peter Grenwell in Daily Mail “It is a noble book about a very noble man; it describes a period of British and European history in which man’s struggles and problems greatly resembled our own.”—Sir John Squire in Illustrated London News “This is a book which Englishmen may be proud to read.”—London Quarterly

The story begins with Marcus Omofuma and his fellow detention inmates having a lively discussion of African politics, in prison. Marcus has a premonition of doom and discloses it to his comrades. The premonition comes true while he is been deported back to Nigeria on board a Balkan Airline fl ight. He got killed....
