Download or read book My Robin written by Frances Hodgson Burnett and published by Book Jungle. This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frances Hodgson Burnett, (1849 - 1924) was an English-American playwright and author. She is best known for her children's stories, The Secret Garden, A Little Princess, and Little Lord Fauntleroy. After her father's death in 1854 her family lived in poverty in the Victorian slums of Manchester. After moving to Tennessee her mother died in 1867, which made Frances the sole support of the younger children. It was at this point that she began to write. My Robin begins with a personal note from the author as follows "There came to me among the letters I received last spring one which touched me very closely. It was a letter full of delightful things but the delightful thing which so reached my soul was a question. The writer had been reading "The Secret Garden" and her question was this: "Did you own the original of the robin? He could not have been a mere creature of fantasy. I feel sure you owned him." I was thrilled to the centre of my being. Here was some one who plainly had been intimate with robins-- English robins. I wrote and explained as far as one could in a letter what I am now going to relate in detail." From the first words the reader is drawn into the story of the hunchback "The little hunchback Zia toiled slowly up the steep road, keeping in the deepest shadows, even though the night had long fallen. Sometimes he staggered with weariness or struck his foot against a stone and smothered his involuntary cry of pain. He was so full of terror that he was afraid to utter a sound which might cause any traveler to glance toward him. This he feared more than any other thing--that some man or woman might look at him too closely. If such a one knew much and had keen eyes, he or she might in some way guess even at what they might not yet see."

Download or read book Southern Writers written by Joseph M. Flora and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2006-06-21 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of Southern Writers assumes its distinguished predecessor's place as the essential reference on literary artists of the American South. Broadly expanded and thoroughly revised, it boasts 604 entries-nearly double the earlier edition's-written by 264 scholars. For every figure major and minor, from the venerable and canonical to the fresh and innovative, a biographical sketch and chronological list of published works provide comprehensive, concise, up-to-date information. Here in one convenient source are the South's novelists and short story writers, poets and dramatists, memoirists and essayists, journalists, scholars, and biographers from the colonial period to the twenty-first century. What constitutes a "southern writer" is always a matter for debate. Editors Joseph M. Flora and Amber Vogel have used a generous definition that turns on having a significant connection to the region, in either a personal or literary sense. New to this volume are younger writers who have emerged in the quarter century since the dictionary's original publication, as well as older talents previously unknown or unacknowledged. For almost every writer found in the previous edition, a new biography has been commissioned. Drawn from the very best minds on southern literature and covering the full spectrum of its practitioners, Southern Writers is an indispensable reference book for anyone intrigued by the subject.

Download or read book The Nutcracker and the Mouse King written by E.T.A. Hoffmann and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-19 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E.T.A. Hoffmann's The Nutcracker and the Mouse King is a timeless masterpiece that weaves together elements of fantasy, romance, and adventure. Written in the early 19th century, this novella combines fairy tale elements with deeper philosophical themes, providing readers with a rich and enchanting narrative. The story follows young Marie, who embarks on a magical journey with her beloved Nutcracker prince to defeat the evil Mouse King. Hoffmann's intricate storytelling and vivid imagery create a surreal world that captivates the imagination of readers. The Nutcracker and the Mouse King has been adapted into numerous forms, including the famous ballet by Tchaikovsky, making it a beloved classic for all ages. E.T.A. Hoffmann, a German writer and composer, drew inspiration from his own experiences and dreams to create this enchanting tale. His background in music and law influenced his unique writing style, characterized by its blend of Gothic themes and fantastical elements. Hoffmann's exploration of the subconscious mind and the blurred lines between reality and fantasy is evident throughout the novella, adding depth to the narrative. I highly recommend The Nutcracker and the Mouse King to readers who appreciate timeless fairy tales and enjoy being transported to magical realms filled with wonder and adventure.
