On his first visit to Israel since 1919, a veteran of World War I remembers a long-ago encounter with Jewish refugees. When a gang of revolutionaries press a pistol to a general’s neck, he dies in a fit of laughter. Working in the jungles of Argentina, a mechanic is surprised to discover himself falling in love. These are the tales that Geoffrey Household likes to tell. Some are funny; some are sad. Together, they span the oceans of the world. Including the novellas “The Salvation of Pisco Gabar” and “The Case of Valentin Lecormier,” this remarkable collection of short fiction shows that whether writing about war or love, Geoffrey Household understood what it meant to be human.

Download or read book Tropic of Capricorn written by Henry Miller and published by Random House. This book was released on 2015-06-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cult modern classic, Tropic of Capricorn is as daring, frank and influential as Henry Miller first novel, Tropic of Cancer A story of sexual and spiritual awakening, Tropic of Capricorn shocked readers when it was published in 1939. A mixture of fiction and autobiography, it is the story of Henry V. Miller who works for the Cosmodemonic telegraph company in New York in the 1920s and tries to write the most important work of literature that was ever published. Tropic of Capricorn paints a dazzling picture of the life of the writer and of New York City between the wars: the skyscrapers and the sewers, the lust and the dejection, the smells and the sounds of a city that is perpetually in motion, threatening to swallow everyone and everything. 'Literature begins and ends with the meaning of what Miller has done' Lawrence Durrell 'The only imaginative prose-writer of the slightest value who has appeared among the English-speaking races for some years past' George Orwell 'The greatest American writer' Bob Dylan Henry Miller (1891-1980) is one of the most important American writers of the 20th century. His best-known novels include Tropic of Cancer (1934), Tropic of Capricorn (1939), and the Rosy Crucifixion trilogy (Sexus, 1949, Plexus, 1953, and Nexus, 1959), all published in France and banned in the US and the UK until 1964. He is widely recognised as an irreverent, risk-taking writer who redefined the novel and made the link between the European avant-garde and the American Beat generation.

Download or read book Postcolonial Astrology written by Alice Sparkly Kat and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tapping into the political power of magic and astrology for social, community, and personal transformation. In a cross-cultural approach to understanding astrology as a magical language, Alice Sparkly Kat unmasks the political power of astrology, showing how it can be channeled as a force for collective healing and liberation. Too often, magic and astrology are divorced from their potency and cultural contexts: co-opted by neoliberalism, used as a force of oppression, or distilled beyond recognition into applications that belie their individual and collective power. By looking at the symbolic and etymological histories of the sun, moon, Saturn, Venus, Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter, we can trace and understand the politics of magic--and challenge our own practices, interrogate our truths, and reshape our institutions to build better frameworks for communities of care. Fearless, radical, and fresh, Sparkly Kat's Postcolonial Astrology ushers in a new wave of astrology revival, refusing to apologize for its magickism and connecting its power to the spirituality and politics we need now. Intersectional, inclusive, and geared towards queer and POC communities, it uses our historical and collective constructs of the planets, sun, and moon to re-chart our subconscious history, redefine the body in the world, and assert our politics of the personal, in astrology and all things.

Book excerpt: Capricorn has invited the most powerful rulers across the four corners of creation to his Court to celebrate the coming-of-age of his precious daughter. However, tensions run high and old grudges start to resurface when all signs point to a hidden agenda amongst both the host and the guests. Will the Court of Capricorn remain a garden of sanctuary and peace, or will it turn into a place of judgement and trial-by-fire? Far deep into the East, Cancer stands in her abode, contemplating the letter in her hand in the light of the dawn, the same dawn that will soon come to all. Turning to her handmaiden who is already at work on the loom at the early hour, "Come, it is time to see your father," she says to the young women who stares back blankly. Up in the North, Libra stands aloft on the balcony of her high tower. Surrounded by countless stories and books from her library, she stands intrigued, for the first time in ages,in what she just read. Speaking to herself, "My, my, my... Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to touch base with that old goat. Things have been a bit dry as of late." She lets go of the letter as it glides gently to the streets far below. Aries surveys the field of the West, savoring the sweet taste of victory of his most recent "merger. "On the horizon, a lone horseman can be seen heading in his direction, carrying some sort of message, no doubt. As with all things, the recent high of his victory was already passing, and thrills of his next exploit were beginning to swell inside him. Crumbling the letter in his fist, he drops it to the ground. "Brother, what are you planning now?" The Court of Capricorn is a play on words about the hidden magic behind language. Filled with a cast of distinguished and unforgettable characters, prepare for a story that even the stars themselves pay heed to.
