Book excerpt: Perhaps the most admired childhood memoir ever written in Japan, The Silver Spoon is a sharp detailing of life at the end of the Meiji period (1912) through the eyes of a boy as he grows into adolescence. Innocence fades as he slowly becomes aware of himself and others, while scene after scene richly evokes the tastes, lifestyles, landscapes, objects, and manners of a lost Japan. Kansuke Naka (1885–1965) was a Japanese poet, essayist, and novelist. He was a student of the great novelist Soseki Natsume, who lavishly praised the “freshness and dignity” of Naka’s prose and encouraged the first publication of The Silver Spoon. Hiroaki Sato is a writer, reviewer, and translator with over forty works of classical and modern Japanese poetry, prose, and fiction published in English. He has received the PEN American Center Translation Prize and the Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission Prize for the Translation of Japanese Literature.

Download or read book The Struggle written by Mehr Bani and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a story about a girl who stumbles upon love and finds that her heart and brain are no longer in tandem with each other. It is a regular love story but not so regular narration as it is relayed directly by a huwoman brain that invariably cannot remain simple. The conversation between this girl, the protagonist, and the boy she loves is typical like any modern-day love story, but the parallel conversation she is having between her heart and brain is rather unique. The story weaves both these conversation together and proceeds to a point when the decision to marry for love or to marry for honor can no longer be avoided. She questions if love is actually what everyone claims it is or is it just a figment of imagination. The suspense in the story is as predictable as a womans mind, which follows a pattern but denies its path. Like all relationships, this story also follows a predictable journeyadmiration, fondness, admittance, love, dependence, expectation, complaint, compliance, and immediately after, more complaint. However, whether the two settle in love or in an arranged settlement is for the reader to find out.

Alex, the stunted son of a pantyhose magnate, is struggling to break away and find himself, but is soon thrust into an arena way over his head where the stakes are all or nothing.

Download or read book Words of Conflict Words of War written by Fathali M. Moghaddam and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-05-05 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This highly insightful and cohesive group of studies reveals the power of political narratives to create conflict and peace. Words of Conflict, Words of War: How the Language We Use in Political Processes Sparks Fighting is a fascinating exploration of the narratives leaders use to position both themselves and others in the course of political processes that lead to peace or conflict. Drawing on the relatively new field of "positioning theory," expert essays provide insights into the ways words position us—for better or worse—and influence our intended results. The focus on narratives, from the interpersonal to the international, leads to a better understanding of political processes and conflict resolution. Part one of the study deals with micropolitics and personal positioning. Part two explores positioning by political parties and factions. Links between micro and macro are illustrated by leadership studies of individuals such as President Barak Obama, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President George W. Bush, Governor Sarah Palin, and the Reverend Ian Paisley. The focus throughout is on how a leader can use language to redirect collective politics in support of conflict or of peace.
