Download or read book The Earth Is Weeping written by Peter Cozzens and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together Custer, Sherman, Grant, and other fascinating military and political figures, as well as great native leaders such as Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, and Geronimo, this “sweeping work of narrative history” (San Francisco Chronicle) is the fullest account to date of how the West was won—and lost. After the Civil War the Indian Wars would last more than three decades, permanently altering the physical and political landscape of America. Peter Cozzens gives us both sides in comprehensive and singularly intimate detail. He illuminates the intertribal strife over whether to fight or make peace; explores the dreary, squalid lives of frontier soldiers and the imperatives of the Indian warrior culture; and describes the ethical quandaries faced by generals who often sympathized with their native enemies. In dramatically relating bloody and tragic events as varied as Wounded Knee, the Nez Perce War, the Sierra Madre campaign, and the Battle of the Little Bighorn, we encounter a pageant of fascinating characters, including Custer, Sherman, Grant, and a host of officers, soldiers, and Indian agents, as well as great native leaders such as Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Geronimo, and Red Cloud and the warriors they led. The Earth Is Weeping is a sweeping, definitive history of the battles and negotiations that destroyed the Indian way of life even as they paved the way for the emergence of the United States we know today.

Download or read book The Weeping Love written by F. SHELTON GONKERWON and published by REVEREND CROWN PUBLICATIONS PRIVATE LIMITED. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Weeping Love entails a stimulating romance story which depicts some sad occurrences that often plague love regime and provoke unconscious disintegration in marital union. The book attempts to present love as an original instrument whose power works mechanically through the power of nature over which the human mind, heart, and soul have no absolute control. It essentially argues that the natural price for love is love and not luxury and other influential elements, including money, power, as is considered by many persons as a precondition for sustainable marital union. The book equates love to truth, which is never susceptible to falsehood. It presents the fact that love, like the sky, which is often defaced by dark cloud, love has its unavoidable share of temptation, frustration, tears and other vices. It maintains that sustained love, like long-lasting peace, results from social turbulence and conflict. Readers will realize that love that serves as long-lasting foundation in marital life is rarely earned on the silver platter; like gold, it is has its own processing fire, including temptation, disappointment and frustration. Indeed, marriage tested by these factors often enjoys endurance and blessings. Contained potentially with literary exposition, the book is also annexed by captivating poems and some philosophical expressions that are useful for a daily guide.

Book excerpt: This bestselling "lyrical, moving book: part essay, part memoir, part surprising cultural study" is an examination of why we cry, how we cry, and what it means to cry from a woman on the cusp of motherhood confronting her own depression (The New York Times Book Review). Heather Christle has just lost a dear friend to suicide and now must reckon with her own depression and the birth of her first child. As she faces her grief and impending parenthood, she decides to research the act of crying: what it is and why people do it, even if they rarely talk about it. Along the way, she discovers an artist who designed a frozen–tear–shooting gun and a moth that feeds on the tears of other animals. She researches tear–collecting devices (lachrymatories) and explores the role white women’s tears play in racist violence. Honest, intelligent, rapturous, and surprising, Christle’s investigations look through a mosaic of science, history, and her own lived experience to find new ways of understanding life, loss, and mental illness. The Crying Book is a deeply personal tribute to the fascinating strangeness of tears and the unexpected resilience of joy.

The portrait represented the children orphaned after the war. The prints made their way into the Uk and Europe and many house fires were blamed on the picture which came out unscathed.

It begins in 1915 when children go missing in a residential area of Deadwood in Pinestork. Soon a body of a man is found at his burnt down house with a painting which survived the fire which resembles one of the missing children. Many decades later the ghost of one of the missing children try's to warn a blind girl Rosie of an evil that lurks beyond the cursed painting of the Crying Boy.
Download or read book Death Without Weeping written by Nancy Scheper-Hughes and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When lives are dominated by hunger, what becomes of love? When assaulted by daily acts of violence and untimely death, what happens to trust? Set in the lands of Northeast Brazil, this is an account of the everyday experience of scarcity, sickness and death that centres on the lives of the women and children of a hillside "favela". Bringing her readers to the impoverished slopes above the modern plantation town of Bom Jesus de Mata, where she has worked on and off for 25 years, Nancy Scheper-Hughes follows three generations of shantytown women as they struggle to survive through hard work, cunning and triage. It is a story of class relations told at the most basic level of bodies, emotions, desires and needs. Most disturbing - and controversial - is her finding that mother love, as conventionally understood, is something of a bourgeois myth, a luxury for those who can reasonably expect, as these women cannot, that their infants will live.
