Download or read book Cries on the Wind written by Albert Megraw and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2021-11-19 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War sweeps across Europe. Jews are collected and sent to concentration camps. In 1940 Poland, a gypsy boy named Zack just had his family’s caravan bombed, killing his last living relative, his father. Two Jewish boys befriend Zack, so he tells them where they should jump their train before it reaches the concentration camp. They do what they must to survive. There is hope; there can be living with a smile. I sat here as frustration and anger ran rampant within me. I ask myself what of these chaotic, lived moments that can eat away at me, belittling my life, my drive, destroying the bright dreams and care that used to shine within me. Where bright golden smiles were once with me each and every moment of my loving day, where I caressed life with passion and love, with warm feelings of happiness permeating through my body, nurturing the soul that I am… My comfort now is anger, hate and resentment of the moments that made life worthwhile, for to be without these precious living moments and feelings are like dying and seeing no tomorrows. I push these things aside, grabbing at a straw of hope that I may once again feel comfortable within myself.
Download or read book Getting an Heir written by Ann Waltner and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2019-03-31 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for heirs in any traditional society is a compelling one. In traditional China, where inheritance and notions of filiality depended on the production of progeny, the need was nearly absolute. As Ann Waltner makes clear in this broadly researched study of adoption in the late Ming and early Ch'ing periods, the getting of an heir was a complex, even paradoxical undertaking. Although adoption involving persons of the same surname was the only arrangement ritually and legally sanctioned in Chinese society, adoption of persons of a different surname was a relatively common practice. Using medical and ritual texts, legal codes, local gazetteers, biography, and fiction, Waltner examines the multiple dimensions of the practice of adoption and identifies not only the dominant ideology prohibiting adoption across surname lines, but also a parallel discourse justifying the practice.

Download or read book We Created Ch vez written by Geo Maher and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since being elected president in 1998, Hugo Chávez has become the face of contemporary Venezuela and, more broadly, anticapitalist revolution. George Ciccariello-Maher contends that this focus on Chávez has obscured the inner dynamics and historical development of the country’s Bolivarian Revolution. In We Created Chávez, by examining social movements and revolutionary groups active before and during the Chávez era, Ciccariello-Maher provides a broader, more nuanced account of Chávez’s rise to power and the years of activism that preceded it. Based on interviews with grassroots organizers, former guerrillas, members of neighborhood militias, and government officials, Ciccariello-Maher presents a new history of Venezuelan political activism, one told from below. Led by leftist guerrillas, women, Afro-Venezuelans, indigenous people, and students, the social movements he discusses have been struggling against corruption and repression since 1958. Ciccariello-Maher pays particular attention to the dynamic interplay between the Chávez government, revolutionary social movements, and the Venezuelan people, recasting the Bolivarian Revolution as a long-term and multifaceted process of political transformation.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Polish Cinema written by Marek Haltof and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-02-02 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1902, scientist and inventor Kazimierz Prószyński made the first Polish narrative film, The Return of a Merry Fellow. Since then, the Polish film industry has produced a diverse body of work, ranging from patriotic melodramas and epic adaptations of the national literary canon to Yiddish cinema and films portraying the corrupt side of communism. Poland has produced several internationally known films, including Andrzej Wajda’s war trilogy, A Generation (1955), Kanal (1957), and Ashes and Diamonds (1958); Roman Polański’s Knife in the Water (1962); and Andrzej Munk’s The Passenger (1963). Often performing specific political and cultural duties for their nation, Polish filmmakers were well aware of their role as educators, entertainers, social activists, and political leaders. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Polish Cinema fills the gap in film scholarship, presenting an extensive factual survey of Polish film. Through a chronology; an introductory essay; appendixes, a bibliography; and over 300 cross-referenced dictionary entries on films, directors, actors, producers, and film institutions, a balanced picture of the richness of Polish cinema is presented. Readers with professional interest in cinema will welcome this new work, which will enhance senior undergraduate or postgraduate courses in film studies.

Download or read book Struggles and Triumphs written by P. T. Barnum and published by Standard Ebooks. This book was released on 2018-11-13T22:48:05Z with total page 846 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Struggles and Triumphs is the autobiography of P. T. Barnum, the celebrated American showman. Though subtitled Forty Years’ Recollections, it covers a period of over 60 years, from his birth in 1810, to the later years of his career in the 1870s. Barnum has an engaging style, and his autobiography is crammed with many amusing and interesting incidents as he tells how he learned to make money entertaining the public through circuses, “freak shows,” theatrical presentations, concert tours and the like. On the way he builds up an impressive fortune, only to lose it all through a fraudulous speculation perpetrated on him. Then he starts again, pays off his debts and builds up another, greater fortune. Though often labelled as a “humbug” or “a mere charlatan” it’s clear that the majority of his contemporary Americans held him in affectionate regard. However modern readers may be upset by Barnum’s rather cavalier treatment of the animals under his care in the various menageries and aquariums he created, and be distressed by the details of how they were lost in the several fires which destroyed Barnum’s Museums. Also of great interest are Barnum’s philanthropic endeavours: lecturing on teetotalism; supporting negro equality; and funding civic developments. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
