Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is fiction dealing with common social milieus and priorities prevalent in Bangladesh for protecting and carrying on family traditions and values. This has been ubiquitous in Bangladesh for quite some time, more so in rural areas, notwithstanding an evident declining trend. In most negotiated marriage relationships, the emphasis manifestly still is on family aristocracy, traditions, and good names. In the social milieu of British India, heightened by the decline in Muslim inhabitants power and authority with the evident waning of wealth and standing, preservation of family prestige and locus gained earlier took prominence. Such families may inwardly suffer from all negativities, but outwardly, they are to put up an aristocratic bearing. House of Twenty-Two Buffalos is such a story. It deals with the sustained effort of a recent affluent family trying to climb the ladder of aristocracy while a prominent aristocratic house was burdened by tradition-laden specifics. The former was basking in current financial affluence but had the frustration of having mundane background generations before. The latter was trapped to false pronouncements of earlier generations and carry over pride to the present, ignoring bliss, passion, and feelings. Both the families however suffered from a common proclivity to resist changes in social and family lives even though both the families eventually submitted to those. The palpable loss was the years passed by and the deprivation of time and tenderness during the intervening period. The story deals with varied characters in relevant sociopolitical context of the time. However, all of them remain relevant in the broader context of present social setting. The character of Qulsum, born in a most vexing situation and growing up in rumored settings, portrays the best outcome of discreet desire in tandem with supportive and warm care of a husband and an avowed mind-set of a younger brother-in-law. Their progressions reside and epitomize the struggle of the new gene to break through that burden with decency. Poris personality and character reflect that knowledge and wisdom are not just limited to books and affluence. The traits of Kalon Master and Rushni expose true and committed characters whose commitment, contribution, and sacrifice largely influenced the outcome of the Bangladesh War of Liberation and the sustenance of those ideals. Similarly, Sher Didar Khan brings out the innocent inner feelings hidden within a big physique contrary to ruthless reflection of the authority of his official position.

This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africa is a complicated place, and the Peace Corps Volunteers who have worked in 43 African nations have seen it all: from public executions to public celebrations to life in a time of AIDS. This heartfelt collection is the first of its kind to chronicle 50 years of Peace Corps service. Stories range from poignant to hilarious, involve political intrigue and cultural missteps, illuminating the joys and agony of volunteering abroad and representing the United States in the process. Sixty stories provide a broad overview and give readers a glimpse into the life and times of these brave volunteers, who each learned at least one new language and went to work in the villages and cities from Morocco to South Africa. They worked hard, too. But in these stories you will see that they also danced, faced death by elephant, and witnessed unbearably grim events. One is admired for her “big butt,” another reminded that he had taught proper police procedure in a time of civil unrest. Saying “I was there” is sometimes a bittersweet declaration.

Download or read book Twenty Five Years among the Indians and Buffalo written by William D. Street and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2015-12-02 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearing 60, William D. Street (1851–1911) sat down to write his memoir of frontier life. Street's early years on the plains of western Kansas were both ordinary and extraordinary; ordinary in what they reveal about the everyday life of so many who went out to the western frontier, extraordinary in their breadth and depth of historical event and impact. His tales of life as a teamster, cavalryman, town developer, trapper, buffalo hunter, military scout, and cowboy put us squarely in the middle of such storied events as Sheridan's 1868–1869 winter campaign on the southern Plains and the Cheyenne Exodus of 1878. They take us trapping beaver and hunting buffalo for hides and meat, and driving cattle on the Great Western Cattle Trail. They give us insight into his evolving understanding of his multi-decade relationship with the Lakota. And they give us a front-row seat at the founding and development of Jewell and Gaylord, Kansas, and a firsthand look at the formation of Jewell's "Buffalo Militia." In later life Street rose to prominence as a newspaper publisher, state legislator, and regent of the Kansas State Agricultural College. At the time of his death—noted in the New York Times—he was still at work on his memoir. Handed down through his family over the past century and faithfully transcribed here, Street's story of frontier life is as rich in history as it is in character, giving us a sense of what it was to be not just a witness to, but a player in, the drama of the plains as it unfolded in the late nineteenth century. Edited by Street's great-grandson, with an introduction by Richard Etulain, a leading scholar of the West, this memoir is history as it was lived, recalled in sharp detail and recounted in engaging prose, for the ages.

Book excerpt: Buffalo's appreciation for a frosty pint stretches back more than a century before anyone enjoyed a cold one with a basket of wings. By the middle of the 1800s, the industrial hub counted malt and beer among its most vital and satisfying products. Operations like Simon Pure Beer, Iroquois Beverage and the Magnus Beck Brewing Company brought Buffalo's world-class ales to the rest of the country. Prohibition saw a thriving business in black market hooch, though it all but killed the city's historic breweries. A few survivors struggled to recover. Today, a new batch of breweries like Community Beer Works and Big Ditch Brewing Company are crafting a beer revolution in the Queen City. Historian Michael Rizzo and brewer Ethan Cox explore the sudsy story of Buffalo beer.
