Download or read book The Centaur written by John Updike and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD AND THE PRIX DU MEILLEUR LIVRE ÉTRANGER The Centaur is a modern retelling of the legend of Chiron, the noblest and wisest of the centaurs, who, painfully wounded yet unable to die, gave up his immortality on behalf of Prometheus. In the retelling, Olympus becomes small-town Olinger High School; Chiron is George Caldwell, a science teacher there; and Prometheus is Caldwell’s fifteen-year-old son, Peter. Brilliantly conflating the author’s remembered past with tales from Greek mythology, John Updike translates Chiron’s agonized search for relief into the incidents and accidents of three winter days spent in rural Pennsylvania in 1947. The result, said the judges of the National Book Award, is “a courageous and brilliant account of a conflict in gifts between an inarticulate American father and his highly articulate son.”

Download or read book Peacocks Chameleons Centaurs written by Wayne Brekhus and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2003-10 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be a gay man living in the suburbs? Do you identify primarily as gay, or suburban, or some combination of the two? For that matter, how does anyone decide what his or her identity is? In this first-ever ethnography of American gay suburbanites, Wayne H. Brekhus demonstrates that who one is depends at least in part on where and when one is. For many urban gay men, being homosexual is key to their identity because they live, work, and socialize in almost exclusively gay circles. Brekhus calls such men "lifestylers" or peacocks. Chameleons or "commuters," on the other hand, live and work in conventional suburban settings, but lead intense gay social and sexual lives outside the suburbs. Centaurs, meanwhile, or "integrators," mix typical suburban jobs and homes with low-key gay social and sexual activities. In other words, lifestylers see homosexuality as something you are, commuters as something you do, and integrators as part of yourself. Ultimately, Brekhus shows that lifestyling, commuting, and integrating embody competing identity strategies that occur not only among gay men but across a broad range of social categories. What results, then, is an innovative work that will interest sociologists, psychologists, anthropologists, and students of gay culture.

Book excerpt: Cut off from the rest of the world, the island of Kabecka in the Indian Ocean is a haven to a veiled race of enigmatic and barbaric centaurs. Under the temper of an anticipated civil war between its two tribes, Bhama and Dhuni, every inhabitant is vigilant and wary. A disapproving Bhama is dealing with the impending change in rulership to the widely detested half-breed orphaned sisters, Mahika and Venya, notified to be the future Aahi and Danuwoa of the tribe by their waning king, Mihraan. Amidst the bedlam of their training with the Obaka, the towering formalities of the royal life, piling work at their home foundry, an ambush on Mahika’s engagement ceremony and a human intruder, the loathed sisters realize that they are not the only ones fostering ghastly secrets. The unforeseen poisoning of the Mataoka tree, whose enchantment protects them against humans, throws the sisters into a spiral of controversy and sabotage, as the duty of recovering the elements of the Svar falls unto them. From the apprehension of fighting the Pernicious Pixies, the trepidation of dealing with the Kabeckan Mers and the unfeasibility of bargaining with the unhinged Sorceress Hyma, while confronting their Irrikums, the centauresses tread a noxious path on a covert expedition to save the homeland founded by their great forefather, Raassa the Ruthless. From the author of the national bestselling Kalith series comes Centaurs of Kabecka : Mahika, the first book of the two-part Bhama Duology.
