Download or read book Speak Silence written by Carole Angier and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-08-19 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-awaited first biography of W. G. Sebald 'The best biography I have read in years' Philippe Sands 'Spectacular' Observer 'A remarkable portrait' Guardian W. G. Sebald was one of the most extraordinary and influential writers of the twentieth century. Through books including The Emigrants, Austerlitz and The Rings of Saturn, he pursued an original literary vision that combined fiction, history, autobiography and photography and addressed some of the most profound themes of contemporary literature: the burden of the Holocaust, memory, loss and exile. The first biography to explore his life and work, Speak, Silence pursues the true Sebald through the memories of those who knew him and through the work he left behind. This quest takes Carole Angier from Sebald's birth as a second-generation German at the end of the Second World War, through his rejection of the poisoned inheritance of the Third Reich, to his emigration to England, exploring the choice of isolation and exile that drove his work. It digs deep into a creative mind on the edge, finding profound empathy and paradoxical ruthlessness, saving humour, and an elusive mix of fact and fiction in his life as well as work. The result is a unique, ferociously original portrait.

Book excerpt: Back cover: "With selections from Elizabeth Bishop, William Blake, Lewis Carroll, Marianne Moore, Frank O'Hara, Sappho, WIlliam Carlos Williams, and many others, "Singing school" offers a bold new approach to writing (and reading) poetry based on great poetry of the past.

Download or read book When the Sky Fell on Splendor written by Emily Henry and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read and People We Meet on Vacation, comes a gripping story about a group of friends in a small town who find themselves dealing with unexpected powers after a cosmic event. Almost everyone in the small town of Splendor, Ohio, was affected when the local steel mill exploded. If you weren't a casualty of the accident yourself, chances are a loved one was. That's the case for seventeen-year-old Franny, who, five years after the explosion, still has to stand by and do nothing as her brother lies in a coma. In the wake of the tragedy, Franny found solace in a group of friends whose experiences mirrored her own. The group calls themselves The Ordinary, and they spend their free time investigating local ghost stories and legends, filming their exploits for their small following of YouTube fans. It's silly, it's fun, and it keeps them from dwelling on the sadness that surrounds them. Until one evening, when the strange and dangerous thing they film isn't fiction--it's a bright light, something massive hurtling toward them from the sky. And when it crashes and the teens go to investigate...everything changes.

Book excerpt: "Rhymes and carols form and important source of folk wisdom and a vital link with the world we have lost. What was originally composed for adults was changed by prudish monks and Victorian collectors of nursery nonsense. The familiar rhymes we know today are travesties of the ancient, powerful songs. Restored to their original meanings, the rhymes and carols express the patterns of social and sexual behaviour in a pre-Christian world."--Inside front cover.

Download or read book On the Border written by Annemarie Austin and published by Bloodaxe Books. This book was released on 1993 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annemarie Austin's richly imaginative, unsettling poems are like paintings in which what is seen is held as it is about to happen, or as it has just happened. They evoke thresholds or border states in which (as Augustine observed) the present does not exist because it is instantly past, stepping off into other experiences, from dark into light, present into past, life into death, land into sea, from 'the beach at dusk under a squally wind'. In Snowcase a woman is buried alive for eight days in a snowdrift; in So, 'I found at the heart of each of his paintings/ an opening left for me to enter, his air or ground/ or water slipping backwards beneath my walking eyes.'
