Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: “Tales of the Jazz Age - The Original 1922 Edition” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Tales of the Jazz Age (1922) is the second collection of short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald, published in 1922. It includes two masterpieces as well as several other stories from his earlier career. The story "May Day" depicts a party at a popular club in New York that becomes a night of revelry during which former soldiers and an affluent group of young people start an anti-Bolshevik demonstration that results in an attack on a leftist newspaper office. "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz" is a fantastic satire of the selfishness endemic to the wealthy and their undying pursuit to preserve that way of life. All of these stories, like his best novels, meld Fitzgerald's fascination with wealth with an awareness of a larger world, creating a subtle social critique. Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (1896 – 1940) was an American author of novels and short stories, whose works are the paradigmatic writings of the Jazz Age, a term he coined. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century.

Download or read book Tender is the Night The Original 1934 Edition written by Francis Scott Fitzgerald and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-20 with total page 4301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Tender is the Night', Francis Scott Fitzgerald delves into the glamorous and turbulent world of the American expatriates in the 1920s. The novel follows the lives of Dick and Nicole Diver, exploring the complexities of marriage, mental health, and the destructive impact of wealth and status. Fitzgerald's beautiful prose captures the essence of the Jazz Age while simultaneously providing a poignant commentary on human nature and the effects of societal expectations. The novel's structure, with its non-linear narrative and intricate character development, showcases Fitzgerald's literary prowess and ability to create a vivid and immersive story. 'Tender is the Night' stands as a classic example of American literature, showcasing the author's keen insight into the human condition and skillful storytelling. Francis Scott Fitzgerald himself led a troubled life marked by personal struggles and the pursuit of societal success. His own experiences with wealth and excess likely informed the themes present in 'Tender is the Night', making the novel a deeply personal and introspective work. Fitzgerald's reputation as a literary giant of the 20th century further solidifies the importance of 'Tender is the Night' in the realm of American literature. I recommend 'Tender is the Night' to readers looking for a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant novel that explores the complexities of human relationships and societal expectations. Fitzgerald's masterful storytelling and profound insights make this novel a must-read for anyone interested in classic literature.

Download or read book The Origin of Table Manners written by Claude Lévi-Strauss and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1990-11-08 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Origin of Table Manners is the third volume of a tetralogy devoted to American Indian mythology. Unlike the first two volumes (The Raw and the Cooked, From Honey to Ashes), which are devoted to South American myths, the present one establishes relations with North America, which is the subject of the fourth (The Naked Man). . . . In the course of the analysis, the myths link up with ideas of more general interest. Thus, we find discussions of numeration, of morals, and of the origin of the novel. . . . The Origin of Table Manners is thus of special interest to students of American Indian mythology, although it contains ideas of interest to other fields and even to the general reader."—Daniel C. Raffalovich, American Anthropologist "An immense anthropological erudition is here wielded by one of the world's finest minds, and the myths themselves have never been taken more seriously. . . . [Lévi-Strauss] raises issues and then resolves them with the suspenseful cunning of a mystery novelist."—John Updike, New Yorker

Download or read book The Origin of Evil written by Stephen N Berberich and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Origin of Evil A group of well-intentioned geneticists in charge of the first designer baby project at a fertility clinic in Southern California were on the brink of an incredible discovery. Their arrogance ultimately led to a critical error in judgment. The dire consequences of that blunder wouldnt be evident for years to come. Unfortunately, by then, it was too late. Vatican Citytwenty years later Pope Peter II, the first American pontiff, began having nightmares so vivid and realistic that on the last night of each month, he was unable to sleep. The night frights were always the same. Horrific evil was spreading through population centers like an aggressive cancer. Worse yet, these nightmares had escaped the boundaries of the popes dreams and invaded reality. Father Kevin McCarthy, a noted American geneticist, was urgently summoned to Vatican City to investigate these strange happenings. What he and his colleague, Meighan Cole, found would join science and religion at the hip and then turn each discipline on its respective ear. They discovered that pure evil had its ancestral roots in human DNA and those individuals missing a prime gene, and their names were replete in the annals of history. But what Kevin found while drilling even deeper into this matter was more alarming. This new and burgeoning generation of evil, led by Daman Leonard and his master plan, was not the product of classical evolution, but one created in a laboratory using a computer and a petri dish. This evil, if not confronted quickly, was destined to change the nature of man and turn the human race into an advanced species with no genetic soul.

Download or read book Image Politics of Climate Change written by Birgit Schneider and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific research on climate change has given rise to a variety of images picturing climate change. These range from colorful expert graphics, model visualizations, photographs of extreme weather events like floods, droughts or melting ice, symbols like polar bears, to animated and interactive visualizations. Climate change graphics have not only increased knowledge about the subject, they have begun to influence popular awareness of global weather events. The status of climate pictures today is particularly crucial, as global climate change as a long-term process cannot be seen. When images are widely distributed, they are able to shape how the world is thought about and seen. It is this implicit basic assumption of the power of images to influence reality that this book addresses: today's images might become the blueprint for tomorrow's realities. »Image Politics of Climate Change« combines a wide interdisciplinary range of perspectives and questions, treated here in sixteen interdisciplinary case studies. The author's specializations include both visual practice and theory: in the fields of climate sciences, computer graphics, art, curating, art history and visual studies, communication and cultural science, environmental and science & technology studies. The close interlinking of these viewpoints promotes in-depth insights into issues of production and analysis of climate visualization.
