Download or read book Notes of a Son and Brother and The Middle Years written by Henry James and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2011-05-03 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a childhood divided between America and Europe, Henry James settled with his family in New England, first in what he regarded as an outpost of Europe, Newport, and later in Cambridge. The family letters (the initial inspiration for this autobiographical enterprise), many of which recount the early career of William James at Harvard and in Germany, also reveal Henry James Sr.’s views on the intellectual, philosophical, and social issues of the time. Henry Jr., aspiring to be "just literary," acknowledges his indebtedness to the widely cultured artist John La Farge, whose friendship he enjoyed during adolescence. The Civil War is recorded through the letters of his younger brother, Wilky, while Henry recalls a Whitmanesque longing for the Union soldiers he met and talked to. The death of a beloved cousin, Mary Temple, who would become the inspiration for some of his greatest fictional heroines, is documented through the passionate, questioning letters she wrote in her final year of life. In The Middle Years James, newly resident in London, gives his impressions of some of the literary "lions" of the time, most notably George Eliot and Tennyson. This first fully annotated critical edition of Notes of a Son and Brother and The Middle Years both offers the reader extensive support in appreciating the demands of James’s late prose and illuminates the context in which one of literature’s most influential figures developed a characteristic voice.

Book excerpt: Unless everything she knows about the afterlife is a lie, she’s about to fade for good. Karen Jarvis’s overthinking never stops, not even in death. To cope, the former child prodigy clings to the rules: ignore the visions when they intrude, or go crazy; don’t reach out to the living, or they die; tap the forty-two special points in her house in the same order every day, or fade. But when a voice from the past pushes her to question the know-it-all people-pleasing that left her friendless in life, she launches into a fit of adolescent rebellion long overdue—and discovers she’s been lied to all along. Piecing together the true extent of the deception, Karen’s off-the-chart IQ leads her to a weakness in her mentor’s ruthless scheme. Unfortunately, exploiting it means trusting in someone with an average at best IQ. Bad idea. So when her captor sets her up for an infernal checkmate, Karen faces a terrible choice: let her crippling fear of falling short undercut her one chance to save herself and the only friends she’s ever known, or out-think her tormentor’s every move. If you love heroic underdogs, pulse-pounding twists and turns, and endings that leave you on the edge of your seat, then you’ll love Kevan Dale’s gripping novel of psychological horror.

Download or read book The Waterfront written by Danny Martineau Jr. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While growing up, I was fascinated with the world around me. I had an admiration for animals and a love for both the food and culture of the time. Being raised on a campground in rural southern New England was exciting, but transitioning to city life was challenging. It was difficult for me to let go of the 1970s; I felt it was the best decade to be a kid. No matter what challenges the future would bring, I always found myself returning to the woods to find solitude. The vast campground teeming with wildlife manifests itself in both majestic beauty and eerie encounters. It is a splendid forum for the exploration of youngsters’ full of imagination. The waterfront is the defining feature of the campground, the epicenter of activity; like the sea, it is both aesthetic and haunting. Somehow, the waterfront possesses an intrinsic quality that is a crucial ingredient in both creating and preserving memories; it is truly the thread that binds the novel together . . .
