Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scores of publications have examined and expounded on the African American experience. In his debut collection of essays, speeches, and poems, Tim Etson reflects on racial injustice, Christian leadership, and the power of love. His compilation of inspirational, social, and political writings celebrates African American leaders of the past while exhorting todays generation to honor its heritage and build on that foundation for the future. He weaves biblical themes throughout his commentaries, reminding us that with freedom comes responsibility and that the road to success involves sacrifice, courage, and sometimes resistance to the popular view. He calls on the black community to nurture its youth, set positive examples, and teach children never to give up in spite of obstacles. From slavery to Jim Crow to anti-affirmative action laws, Etson points out hypocrisies of an American society in which inequities still exist. In Inner Strength, Quiet Resolve, Etson expresses hope in the inner strength and resilience that have brought African Americans thus far and will continue to propel people forward in the twenty-first century.

Download or read book A Man of Many Parts written by Barbara Rawlinson and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2006 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive study of George Gissing's short stories and related non-fiction is essential reading for students of nineteenth-century realism. For the first time readers will be able to follow the development which transformed Gissing's unremarkable early stories into the very individual tales that elevated his work to the vanguard of realistic short fiction. Gissing's American period is notable for its accumulation of themes that were repeatedly refined and adapted for his later work, causality emerging as the dominant voice. On his return to England, shifting political and philosophical beliefs expressed in his non-fiction had a vital impact on his second phase of short fiction, and the part played by realism in the author's short stories and his writings on Charles Dickens added further dimensions to his work as a whole. By the final phase of Gissing's remarkable development, it is evident that his interest in the concept of causality as the major force in his short work had been replaced by a more challenging preoccupation with the human psyche. This introduced philosophical, sociological and psychological dimensions to Gissing's work that established him in the field of short fiction as a leading exponent of late nineteenth-century realism

Download or read book My Loving Life written by Javeed MD and published by OrangeBooks Publication. This book was released on 2024-10-12 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the intricate tapestry of existence, there are moments when the threads of love, loss, joy, and sorrow weave together to form a pattern that is both beautiful and bewildering. This book delves into the heart of such a life—a life filled with love that seems to envelop everything, yet leaves an inexplicable void where the essence of self should reside. From the outside, the protagonist's life appears idyllic: surrounded by loved ones, blessed with opportunities, and graced by moments of sheer bliss. Friends and family see a person who is constantly giving, always there to lend a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on. However, beneath this facade lies a profound struggle, a search for an identity that feels perpetually out of reach. "My Loving Life" is a poignant exploration of this paradox. It captures the essence of living in a world replete with affection and connection, while grappling with an internal landscape marked by confusion and disorientation. Each chapter peels back layers of experience, revealing the complexities of a soul in search of itself amid the labyrinth of relationships and expectations. This narrative is not just a personal account; it is a universal reflection on the human condition. It invites readers to ponder their own lives, to question whether they, too, have ever felt lost in the midst of abundance. It challenges the notion that external validation and love from others can fully compensate for a lack of self-understanding and acceptance. Through a series of intimate vignettes, the reader is invited to walk alongside the protagonist, experiencing the highs and lows, the moments of clarity and the episodes of doubt. The prose is both lyrical and raw, capturing the beauty of fleeting moments and the pain of enduring questions. As the pages turn, there is an undeniable pull to uncover whether the protagonist will find the missing piece of their puzzle. Will the love that surrounds them finally lead to a discovery of self, or will the search continue, an endless quest for an elusive sense of belonging?
