French novelist Colette is most famous for her portraits of childhood in the Claudine books and forGigi.

Download or read book My Mother s House and Sido written by Colette and published by Farrar Straus Giroux. This book was released on 1975-01-01 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "My Mother's House" and "Sido," Colette plays fictional variations on the themes of childhood, family, and, above all, her mother. Vividly alive, fond of cities, music, theater, and books, Sido devoted herself to her village, Saint-Saveur; to her garden, with its inhabitants and its animals; and, especially, to her children, particularly her youngest, whom she called Minet-Cheri. Unlike "Gigi" and "Cheri," which focus largely on sexual love and its repercussions, "My Mother's House" and "Sido "center on the compelling figure of a powerful, nurturing woman in late-nineteenth-century rural France, conveying the impact she had on her community and on her daughter -- who grew up to be a great writer.

Download or read book A Literary Review written by Soren Kierkegaard and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2001-10-25 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While ostensibly commenting on the work of a contemporary novelist, Kierkegaard used this review as a critique of his society and age. The influence of this short piece has been far-reaching. The apocalyptic final sections are the source for central notions in Heidegger's Being and Time. Later readers have seized on the essay as a prophetic analysis of our own time. Its concepts have been drawn into current debates on identity, addiction, and social conformity.

Download or read book Died in Long Beach written by Claudine Burnett and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-06-25 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long Beach was one of the many Southern California cities that grew out of the railroad fare wars of the late 1880s. It was built by men and women who toiled to make it the great metropolis it is today. These are the tales of those who died or are buried in Long Beach. Some were illustrious in their time, others just common folk with interesting stories to tell. Politicians, city founders, visitors, influenza victims, Civil War veterans and accident victims are all discussed here, as well as the hospitals, doctors, undertakers and others who cared for the dead and dying. But what makes Long Beachs Sunnyside and Municipal cemeteries different from all others is the question of whether the bodies said to be there still remain. The cemetery wars of the 1920s erupted when oil was discovered on Signal Hill. Oil and other debris ran over the graves and the promised mausoleum that many had already paid for was cast aside in favor of black gold. People were angry, barricading themselves by the cemeteries gates to prevent oil rigs from getting to the mausoleum site. Slant drilling caused headstones and markers to sink into the ground, graves were covered by the run off debris from the oil fields above. Many bodies were moved, their headstones left behind, with haphazard records kept of where the corpses were relocated. It would take a 10 year court case to determine if the dead still had rights. In this book you will learn about the fascinating history of Long Beachs unique cemeteries, the stories of those said to be buried in them, and whether Long Beachs cities of the dead may be haunted by angry souls whose final abode did not allow them to rest in peace.

Download or read book Polymorphous Domesticities written by Juliana Schiesari and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polymorphous Domesticities maps out the play of gender, sexuality, and alternative forms of domesticity in the works of four modern European and American writers—Edith Wharton, Djuna Barnes, Colette, and J. R. Ackerley. What these four writers have in common is a defiance of patriarchal paradigms in their lives as well as in their works. Not only did they live outside the norms of the heterosexual family unit, they also pursued and wrote about alternative lifestyles that prominently involved animals. Through close readings from a feminist perspective, Juliana Schiesari reconfigures the ways in which interspecies relationships inflect domestic spheres, reading the "Other" through the lens of gender, home, and family. As she explores how domestic life is refigured by the presence of animals, Schiesari challenges anthropocentric frames of reference and brings the very definition of "human" into question.
