Download or read book The House on Mango Street written by Sandra Cisneros and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A coming-of-age classic about a young girl growing up in Chicago • Acclaimed by critics, beloved by readers of all ages, taught in schools and universities alike, and translated around the world—from the winner of the 2019 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature. “Cisneros draws on her rich [Latino] heritage...and seduces with precise, spare prose, creat[ing] unforgettable characters we want to lift off the page. She is not only a gifted writer, but an absolutely essential one.” —The New York Times Book Review The House on Mango Street is one of the most cherished novels of the last fifty years. Readers from all walks of life have fallen for the voice of Esperanza Cordero, growing up in Chicago and inventing for herself who and what she will become. “In English my name means hope,” she says. “In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting." Told in a series of vignettes—sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes joyous—Cisneros’s masterpiece is a classic story of childhood and self-discovery and one of the greatest neighborhood novels of all time. Like Sinclair Lewis’s Main Street or Toni Morrison’s Sula, it makes a world through people and their voices, and it does so in language that is poetic and direct. This gorgeous coming-of-age novel is a celebration of the power of telling one’s story and of being proud of where you're from.

Download or read book A Concise Chinese English Dictionary for Lovers written by Xiaolu Guo and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2008-06-10 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of our most important contemporary Chinese authors: a novel of language and love that tells one young Chinese woman's story of her journey to the West—and her attempts to understand the language, and the man, she adores. Zhuang—or “Z,” to tongue-tied foreigners—has come to London to study English, but finds herself adrift, trapped in a cycle of cultural gaffes and grammatical mishaps. Then she meets an Englishman who changes everything, leading her into a world of self-discovery. She soon realizes that, in the West, “love” does not always mean the same as in China, and that you can learn all the words in the English language and still not understand your lover. And as the novel progresses with steadily improving grammar and vocabulary, Z's evolving voice makes her quest for comprehension all the more poignant. With sparkling wit, Xiaolu Guo has created an utterly original novel about identity and the cultural divide.

Download or read book Clean Up Your Room The Eternal Spotless Mind of Jordan Peterson written by Joe Dixon and published by Magus Books. This book was released on with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jordan Peterson imagines he has a spotless mind. In fact, it's filthy. This book deconstructs his worldview and shows how dirt-encrusted it is. If you want the Truth of reality, come inside and discover the real Truth. You won't like it, but Truth is under no obligation to be what you want it to be. Peterson claims that the Truth is "Darwinian". In fact, it is eternal. It is perfect, immutable and absolute. It has never evolved. It cannot evolve. It is what it is permanently and ineradicably. All Darwinian "truths" are lies. Evolution is not predicated on the promotion of Truth. It is all about survival and reproduction, regarding which lies have proved astoundingly effective, which is why all humans, whether they admit it or not, are consummate liars. The Lie is archetypally Darwinian: ever-mutating and constantly subject to natural selection, producing the survival of the "fittest" lies, the most adaptive and useful lies – lies for living.

Queen Ahhotep, meanwhile, has recaptured much of the south -- but at a terrible price: her husband has been killed in combat and her elder son, Kames, was mysteriously poisoned. Ahhotep refuses to be crowned pharaoh and prepares her second son, young Amose, to take power instead. Thanks to her, the Egyptians are now ready for the final battle. They lay siege to Avaris, the Hyksos capital -- and once the city is taken, nothing can stop them. After 100 years of occupation and thousands of violent deaths, it looks as though the Egyptian empire may at last rise from the ashes.
