Download or read book Oreo written by Fran Ross and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pioneering, dazzling satire about a biracial black girl from Philadelphia searching for her Jewish father in New York City Oreo is raised by her maternal grandparents in Philadelphia. Her black mother tours with a theatrical troupe, and her Jewish deadbeat dad disappeared when she was an infant, leaving behind a mysterious note that triggers her quest to find him. What ensues is a playful, modernized parody of the classical odyssey of Theseus with a feminist twist, immersed in seventies pop culture, and mixing standard English, black vernacular, and Yiddish with wisecracking aplomb. Oreo, our young hero, navigates the labyrinth of sound studios and brothels and subway tunnels in Manhattan, seeking to claim her birthright while unwittingly experiencing and triggering a mythic journey of self-discovery like no other.
Download or read book The Face and the Mask Classic Reprint written by Robert Barr and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-10 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Face and the Mask Lurine, was pretty, petite, and eighteen. She had a nice situation at the Pharmacie de Siam, in the Rue St. Honore. She had no one dependent upon her, and all the money she earned was her own. Her dress was of cheap material perhaps, but it was cut and fitted with that daintiness of perfection which seems to be the natural gift of the Parisienne, so that one never thought of the cheapness, but admired only the effect, which was charming. She was book-keeper and general assistant at the Pharmacie, and had a little room, of her own across the Seine, in the Rue de Lille. She crossed the river twice every day - once in the morning when the sun was shining, and again at night when the radiant lights along the river's bank glittered like jewels in a long necklace. She had her little walk through the Gardens of the Tuileries every morning after crossing the Pont Royal, but she did not return through the gardens in the evening, for a park in the morning is a different thing to a park at night. On her return she always walked along the Rue de Tuileries until she came to the bridge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Quest of the Ring Classic Reprint written by Paul Swigart Brallier and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Quest of the Ring As Philmon grew, the years of Timon became many. The hair at his temples whitened, his steps 'were slower, his'eyes were duller, his face more wrinkled than in the days of the boy's childhood. Thus it was that when he was grown, Philmon tilled the fields alone just as his father had tilled them before him, hearkening in all things unto his father's counsel and advice. Timon, also, told him of the things that had been, told him of the beginning of all things, and of the great men who had beenbefore him; taught him the signs of the stars, the old_folk songs and legends and all the many things he had learned in the years of his life; and to all this Philmon listened diligently, so that none was wiser than he in the knowledge that came from living. Now it so happened that one summer's day, as Philmon was working in his father's fields, he became wearied, and laid him down in the shade of a great oak tree to rest. The fragrance of green, growing things came to him, the lazy hum of tiny Winged creatures sounded in his ears, patches of a too brilliant sky made him half close his eyes, and the unbroken peaceful ness of all things about him brought over him such a drowsiness that in a short while he fell into a deep sleep. Shadows flitted before his eyes, shapes of things that he could not distinguish; all that he could un derstand was that they were happy with a happiness that he had never known. Then. There came strains of music, faint at first, but growing more and more distinct, rising and falling in a melody so sweet that all the cares and the longings of his heart seemed to flee away; and in the midst of the music there were words, - words so wonderful that while he understood them not, yet he felt that he should understand; words that he had known once long since, but had strangely forgotten. The music stopped; there was a hush, a deep silence, and in the mist there appeared a Ring of the purest gold, burnished until it shonelike the sun, so that it was impossible to look upon it steadily. For a moment it hung there, and then just as suddenly as it had come, so it vanished; and a voice, - soft, low, allur ingly sweet, - called.

Download or read book Tormented Master written by Arthur Green and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 1979 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If Hasidism begins in the life-enhancing spirituality of the Baal Shem Tov, it concludes in the tortuous, elitist and utterly fascinating career of Nahman of Bratslav (1722–1810) whose biography and teaching Arthur Green has set forth in his comprehensive, moving, and subtle study, Tormented Master. “Arthur Green has managed to lead us through the thickets of the Bratslaver discourse with a grace and facility thus far unequaled in the English language literature on Hasidism. Tormented Master is a model of clarity and percipience, balancing awed respect and honor for its subject with a ruthless pursuit of documented truth. . . . Tormented Master is sufficiently open to the agonies of religion in general and the issues of modern religion in particular to make Nahman a thinker utterly relevant to our time. “Nahman of Bratslav is unique in the history of Judaism, Green emphasizes, for having made the individual’s quest for intimacy with God the center of the religious way. He was a Kierkegaard before his time, believing in the utter abandon of the life of faith and the risk of paradoxicality. . . . He was, more than all others, the predecessor of Kafka, whose tales, like Nahman’s, have no explicit key and rankle, flush and irritate the spirit, compelling us—even in our failure to understand—to acknowledge their potency and challenge.” —New York Times

We talked of the grave things of this life, and even of those of the life to come: we spoke of authors with reference to what their writings inculcated, quite as much as to the fictitious laws of artistic skill, and I went away instructed, and comforted, regretting the end of the evening, and feeling that this was some realization of my dream of what intellectual intercourse should be.

To his valuable aid, we are indebted, for the true light of the Scriptures, concerning this glorious name yahweh-elohim. In his Pha nerosis, we find these words: The Memorial Name, exhibited in Moses' writings, is not Simply a word of four letters, given to an abstraction, as men give names to their children: but a name memorial of a future manifestation of the Eternal Spirit: which manifestation will not be of One, through One only: but of one in and through ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands: that the Name covers them all; and consequently, the thousands of thousands are but One Yahweh (p.
