Download or read book A String of Flowers Untied written by Murasaki Shikibu and published by Stone Bridge Press. This book was released on 2001-12-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expressions of passion and heartbreak, written by Murasaki Shikibu 1,000 years ago, transcend time and culture in this new translation of the poetry in the first 33 chapters of The Tale of Genji. It is the relationship between the novel's characters and the poetry that creates the beauty and sustained erotic tone of Lady Murasaki's story. For the first time, these 400+ poems are presented in the increasingly popular format of tanka (5-7-5-7-7), along with extended notes that reveal the hidden details and depth of meaning in Murasaki's real and fictional worlds.
Download or read book The Novel An Alternative History written by Steven Moore and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Encyclopedic in scope and heroically audacious, The Novel: An Alternative History is the first attempt in over a century to tell the complete story of our most popular literary form. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the novel did not originate in 18th-century England, nor even with Don Quixote, but is coeval with civilization itself. After a pugnacious introduction, in which Moore defends innovative, demanding novelists against their conservative critics, the book relaxes into a world tour of the pre-modern novel, beginning in ancient Egypt and ending in 16th-century China, with many exotic ports-of-call: Greek romances; Roman satires; medieval Sanskrit novels narrated by parrots; Byzantine erotic thrillers; 5000-page Arabian adventure novels; Icelandic sagas; delicate Persian novels in verse; Japanese war stories; even Mayan graphic novels. Throughout, Moore celebrates the innovators in fiction, tracing a continuum between these pre-modern experimentalists and their postmodern progeny. Irreverent, iconoclastic, informative, entertaining-The Novel: An Alternative History is a landmark in literary criticism that will encourage readers to rethink the novel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the shadow of COVID-19, a new threat emerged. Scientists are tantalizingly close to creating Super-Plants for the benefit of mankind. But bad decisions and an unforeseen act of nature turns celebration into despair. Somehow the impossible occurred. Grounded in accepted and speculative science, INSECTi(cide) takes you on a fascinating journey with as many twists, turns, and terrifying moments as the Coney Island Cyclone. It’s about a rogue plant whose characteristics are derived from tinkering with the common dandelion. Events are told through the voices of two teenage boys—one a Kiwi from Christchurch, the other an indigenous Nenet from Siberia—and a twenty-something New Jersey molecular biologist with streaked blond hair and a killer recipe for cranberry chutney. The intrigue stays true right up until the end.

Download or read book The Tanka Anthology written by Michael McClintock and published by Weatherhill. This book was released on 2003 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The tanka anthology is a compendium of more than 800 poems by nearly 70 poets from around the world, the foremost practitioners of the ancient and modern genre of tanka. While poets continue to experiment, the contemporary tanka in English may be described as typically an untitled free-verse short poem having anywhere from about twelve to thirty-one syllables arranged in words and phrases over five lines, crafted to stand alone as a unitary, aesthetic whole - a complete poem. Excepting those written in a minimalist style, a tanka is about two breaths in length when read aloud. During the last thirty years, it has emerged as a robust short form that is identifiable as a distinct verse type while being extremely variable in its details."--BOOK JACKET.
