Book excerpt: La vera Bela 'Joe' ( Ĝo ) estis mezgranda, bruna kaj miksrasa hundo. Li estis origine posedata de viraĉo de la urbo Meaford, en Ontario, Kanado, kiu kruele misuzis lin kaj eĉ fortranĉis liajn orelojn kaj voston. Walter Moore savis la hundon en 1890 de probabla morto, perforta kaj dolora. En 1892, Margaret Marshall Saunders (1861–1947), unue eksciis pri 'Bela JOE' kiam ŝi vizitis sian fraton kaj lian edzinon, Louise Moore. Saunders estis tiel kortuŝata de la parola informo pri Joe, ke ŝi decidis verki longan rakonton en formo de aŭtobiografio. Ŝi volis ke 'Bela Joe' rakontu kortuŝe siajn vivospertojn per sia propra hunda voĉo. Kiam ŝi legis pri literatura konkurso de la 'Usona Humana Eduka Societo', Marshal Saunders alilokigis la lokon de la rakonto al la usona ŝtato Maine ( Mejn ) kaj ŝanĝis la nomon de la familio de Moore al Morris. La romano gajnis la unuan lokon kaj estis eldonita en 1893 kiam alia rakonto el vidpunkto de besto 'Nigra Belulino' ( Black Beauty ) de Anna Sewell jam fariĝis klasika verko kiu simile permesis al la leganto eniri la menson de la besto kaj senti pli da simpatio ol priskribo prezentita laŭ rekta dokumenta maniero. Ĝis 1900, pli ol 800,000 vendiĝis en Usono, 40,000 en Kanado kaj 100,000 en Britio.

Book excerpt: A young girl struggles to realise her dreams when her life is derailed - from the Sunday Times bestselling author Val Wood. --------------------- Holderness, 1846. For reliable, thirteen-year-old Bella, life isn't turning out quite as she'd hoped. She lives at the Woodman Inn - an ancient hostelry run by her family in the Yorkshire countryside - with her parents and siblings, but when she learns not only that her father is seriously ill, but that her mother is expecting a fifth child, her dreams of leaving home to become a schoolteacher are quickly dashed. Times are hard, and when their father dies Bella also has to take on the role of mother to her baby brother. Her days are brightened by the occasional visit from Jamie Lucan - the eighteen-year-old son of a wealthy landowning neighbour. Also grieving the loss of a parent, Jamie has more in common with Bella than she thinks. When her mother announces out of the blue that she wants to move the family to Hull, Bella is forced to leave the only home she has ever known. They arrive to find that the public house they are now committed to buying is run-down and dilapidated. Could things get any worse? Or could this move turn out to be a blessing in disguise for Bella? If you've liked books by Dilly Court and Katie Flynn, you'll love Val Wood's heartwarming stories of triumph over adversity. --------------------- Praise for Val Wood: 'A heart-warming story filled with compelling action' Rosie Goodwin 'Hull's answer to Catherine Cookson' BBC Radio 4's Front Row 'Wonderfully fully-fleshed characters are the mainstay of [Val Wood's] stories' Peterborough Telegraph
Download or read book Ruth First and Joe Slovo in the War Against Apartheid written by Alan Wieder and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ruth First and Joe Slovo, husband and wife, were leaders of the war to end apartheid in South Africa. Communists, scholars, parents, and uncompromising militants, they were the perfect enemies for the white police state. Together they were swept up in the growing resistance to apartheid, and together they experienced repression and exile. Their contributions to the liberation struggle, as individuals and as a couple, are undeniable. Ruth agitated tirelessly for the overthrow of apartheid, first in South Africa and then from abroad, and Joe directed much of the armed struggle carried out by the famous Umkhonto we Sizwe. Only one of them, however, would survive to see the fall of the old regime and the founding of a new, democratic South Africa. This book, the first extended biography of Ruth First and Joe Slovo, is a remarkable account of one couple and the revolutionary moment in which they lived. Alan Wieder’s deeply researched work draws on the usual primary and secondary sources but also an extensive oral history that he has collected over many years. By weaving the documentary record together with personal interviews, Wieder portrays the complexities and contradictions of this extraordinary couple and their efforts to navigate a time of great tension, upheaval, and revolutionary hope.

Download or read book Jean Pierre and Luc Dardenne written by Joseph Mai and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For well over a decade, Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne have produced highly original and ethically charged films that immerse their audiences in an intense and embodied viewing experience. Their work has consistently attracted international recognition, including the rare feat of two Palmes d'Or at Cannes. In this first book-length study of the Belgian brothers, Joseph Mai delivers sophisticated close analyses of their directorial style and explores the many philosophical issues dealt with in their films (especially the ethics of Emmanuel Levinas). Mai discusses the Dardennes' varied and searching career from its inception in the late 1970s, starting with the working-class political consciousness and lost utopias of their documentary period; passing through their transition toward fictional narrative, experimental techniques, and familial themes; and finishing with a series of in-depth and philosophically informed interpretations of the brothers' more recent work. In such highly influential films such as La promesse, Rosetta, The Son, and The Child, the brothers have recast filmmaking through what Mai calls a "sensuous realism"--realism capable of touching the audience with the most compelling problems and moral dilemmas of contemporary society. This volume also features an interview in which the Dardennes discuss their approach to film production and the direction of actors.

Download or read book The Queen of Steeplechase Park written by David Ciminello and published by Forest Avenue Press. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Queen of Steeplechase Park is the absolutely, positively, practically, almost-true story of infamous burlesque queen and magic meatball maker Belladonna Marie Donato. Pregnant at fifteen after gleefully losing her virginity to pansexual neighborhood strongman Francis Anthony Mozzarelli, Bella is robbed of her baby by a pack of nefarious nuns and her embittered papa has her sterilized without her consent (legal in 1935). With the help of a besotted Francis, her newfound family of queercentric outcasts, and a top-secret meatball recipe, a devastated Bella embarks on a riotous quest through Depression-era Coney Island sideshows, the tawdry world of peekaboo striptease routines, a doomed mob marriage, and a tasty collection of wisdom-filled recipes to find her lost child, herself, and maybe even true love. It all leads Bella back home, to the scene of her original sin, where she boldly faces matters of life and death, questions of forgiveness, and a holy mess only the healing properties of great Italian cooking can fix.
