Download or read book Overwriting Chaos written by Richard Tempest and published by Academic Studies PRess. This book was released on 2019-12-17 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Tempest examines Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s evolution as a literary artist from his early autobiographical novel Love the Revolution to the experimental mega-saga The Red Wheel, and beyond. Tempest shows how this author gives his characters a presence so textured that we can readily imagine them as figures of flesh and blood and thought and feeling. The study discusses Solzhenitsyn’s treatment of Lenin, Stalin, and the Russian Revolution; surprising predilection for textual puzzles and games à la Nabokov or even Borges; exploration of erotic themes; and his polemical interactions with Russian and Western modernism. Also included is new information about the writer’s life and art provided by his family, as well as Tempest’s interviews with him in 2003-7.

Download or read book A Violent Peace written by Christine Hong and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Violent Peace offers a radical account of the United States' transformation into a total-war state. As the Cold War turned hot in the Pacific, antifascist critique disclosed a continuity between U.S. police actions in Asia and a rising police state at home. Writers including James Baldwin, Ralph Ellison, and W.E.B. Du Bois discerned in domestic strategies to quell racial protests the same counterintelligence logic structuring America's devastating wars in Asia. Examining U.S. militarism's centrality to the Cold War cultural imagination, Christine Hong assembles a transpacific archive—placing war writings, visual renderings of the American concentration camp, Japanese accounts of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, black radical human rights petitions, Korean War–era G.I. photographs, Filipino novels on guerrilla resistance, and Marshallese critiques of U.S. human radiation experiments alongside government documents. By making visible the way the U.S. war machine waged informal wars abroad and at home, this archive reveals how the so-called Pax Americana laid the grounds for solidarity—imagining collective futures beyond the stranglehold of U.S. militarism.

Download or read book Trusting Ourselves written by Karen Johnson and published by Atlantic Monthly Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Definitive and comprehensive, Trusting Ourselves is the only book to cover every aspect of psychology as it applies to women. This groundbreaking work will empower its readers to understand and make decisions about their psychological well-being and treatment in much the same way Our Bodies, Ourselves redefined women's health care. In a radical reversal of the usual approach to psychological care, which assumes that only the professional understands the problem. Johnson strongly believes that women and their values, perspectives, and biases have merit, and that most patients understand why they're not happy with their lives. Trusting this self-knowledge and taking action on one's own behalf provide a foundation for all the information in this book. It is time to revise psychotherapy to incorporate a woman's perspective.

That was forty years previous. Now, upon the death of their childhood buddy, they are on the quest to discover why many dying people are once again gasping out the word Anima with their last breath. Their journey includes visits to the library and to a real estate office for information, where they run into someone whom they believe knows something about what is going on. They visit a church that is painted black, with red trim. They think that this place may be central to their quest. Interspersed amid their travels are the causes of the word Anima. Peoples souls are being removed from them. The description of the soul removal operation is this: Suddenly, his hearing begins to disappear. When it is completely gone, immediately he hears a slurping sound like a straw sucking the last of a liquid from the bottom of a can. It ends with a hollow echoing sound. His eyes go blank like a dead mans eyes. If Matthew and Luther had looked at him at that moment, they would have seen his eyes grow blank and empty as if in a dead man. The persons collecting the souls are Geist Esserssoul eaters. They look like ordinary people dressed like anyone else. For good reason, they are ordinary people like you and me. Matthew, who is a theological professor at the college, weaves pertinent theological insight, helping Luther to better understand what is going on and, more importantly, why. As the boys accumulate clues and evidences, they eventually end up in the climactic scene at the black church. Two hundred Geist Essers assemble to deliver their accumulated cache of souls, which they carry in big stainless-steel bowls. One by one, they dump the contents of the bowls into a large vat at the front of the church.
