Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the publication of his first novel and given the repercussions generated by it, the author continued the story with The Swallow's Song, a work that although it takes up a part of the previous novel, it has its own imprint. The story takes place at a time marked by revolutions, revolts and international struggles. And in the midst of this scenario, in a convulsed Argentina shaken by extreme political violence, that of the fifties, a woman tries to survive not only a reality marked by the pain and fear of an increasingly complex country but also the burden and monotony of an unhappy marriage and an empty, aimless life. The only possible solution will be to go out in search of "her purpose" and she will find it in a revolution that, although it does not belong to her, will give her the meaning she longs for. It is precisely this path that will lead her through the seeds of the Cuban revolution in the company of "Che" and Fidel Castro. Historical context A group of young revolutionaries, calling themselves the "Centennial Generation" and led by Fidel Castro, determined to overthrow Fulgencio Batista (de facto dictator between 1952 and 1959 in Cuba), tried to take over the Moncada Barracks and the Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Barracks in 1953, but failed in the attempt. Batista managed to stop this revolt, tried them and sent them to prison. After almost two years of being deprived of their freedom, Fidel Castro and his comrades were released through an amnesty. They did not take long to form the M-26-7, a movement to overthrow the dictator. They headed to Mexico to reorganize and establish connections with allies who were sympathetic to the cause. In 1956, together with a group of guerrillas including Ernesto Guevara, they set sail on the Granma until they ran aground in the mangroves of Playa Las Coloradas, Cuba. Disoriented and dispersed, they could not immediately fulfill their plans and had to take refuge in Sierra Maestra. It is there where The Swallow's Song will reach its climax and a completely unexpected outcome.

Download or read book The Song and the Swallow written by Matthew Anghelos March and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2022-07-27 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our need for meaning and substance is ubiquitous in the human condition, but how do we reliably find meaning? How are we susceptible to doing it the wrong way? What does this look like, what is produced, and why we should avoid it? Using archetypal themes found in Greek mythology, readers are challenged to contemplate how Medusa’s role as the devouring mother is relevant today. Whether in relationships between parent and child, significant others, or even government and citizens, how we care and fail to care authentically shapes our world. Thought-provoking and probing, this book encourages readers to examine, challenge, and reroute in the pursuit of “authentic love.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic ghost story with twists and turns: a spooky house, a malevolent spirit and two plucky heroines. In 1960s Toronto, two girls retreat to their attics to escape the loneliness and isolation of their lives. Polly lives in a house bursting at the seams with people, while Rose is often left alone by her busy parents. Polly is a down-to-earth dreamer with a wild imagination and an obsession with ghosts; Rose is a quiet, ethereal waif with a sharp tongue. Despite their differences, both girls spend their days feeling invisible and seek solace in books and the cozy confines of their respective attics. But soon they discover they aren't alone--they're actually neighbors, sharing a wall. They develop an unlikely friendship, and Polly is ecstatic to learn that Rose can actually see and talk to ghosts. Maybe she will finally see one too! But is there more to Rose than it seems? Why does no one ever talk to her? And why does she look so ... ghostly? When the girls find a tombstone with Rose's name on it in the cemetery and encounter an angry spirit in her house who seems intent on hurting Polly, they have to unravel the mystery of Rose and her strange family... before it's too late.
Download or read book Swallow written by Miranda Field and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2002-08-15 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the microcosmic wilderness of an overgrown back yard to the cool, glassed-in exhibits in a natural history museum, Swallow swoops and darts, tangling the lines we draw between the wild and the cultivated. In her debut collection, Miranda Field explores a world composed equally of shadow and substance, filled not just with beauty but also with a kind of savage experience. But Swallow is more than a crisscrossing of boundaries. It is an imperative, a dare: Go ahead, do as Eve did; let hunger take you wherever it will. According to James Longenbach, these poems are "too beautifully made to idealize freedom, too much in love with vicissitude to idealize beauty. Read these poems, enter them, and be hungry forever."
