Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Dick Benack intermeshes historic biblical personalities with modern social leaders in fourteen short stories with captivating snap endings. ---------- Prism, Arel and Me is a Monsignor’s reluctant revelation of how a strange meeting in Bethlehem resulted in changes to Diocesan Parish Christmas celebrations on Long Island. Beth portrays the final two days of a young’s Nun’s departure to meet the Man she loves. Father Bernard’s Hummers were a band of teenage Brooklyn girls led into maturity by a studious priest who introduced them to a world they didn’t know. Upside, Downside is a tale of love woven by a young expatriate German bank executive frustrated when his promise to his wife is ending on a New York-bound commuter train. Jeremy Witcomb and the Jefferson Mortgage weaves a ladder of learning to a suburbanite professional who crosses ethnic lines he always avoided. A lady with Style reveals the truism that growing old does not come easy and growing old with no recourses can be terminal. Who is the Priest? Too many years in Diocesan Chancery assignments can lock priestly minds until a fresh approach to service of people is revealed in the words of youth. Abram was his Name introduces the most worldly-renowned youth whose historic contribution to Christian history is told everywhere. Seventeen Miles to Jericho is known as “The Road of Blood” and a daring local resident explains why to a passerby who might remember. Father Blimp’s Affair is one recipient’s testimony to long forgotten contributions made by an elderly priest and forgotten in current exultation by current youth. Is Goodnight Enough? A doctor, called after midnight to confirm the death of his strong-willed parent, must choose between lifetime feelings before daybreak. The Roman Outpost at Cana and events occurring there are thought to be found in a little known shop of trivia in Rome and some scribblings are thought to confirm events there. One Sparrow, One Hawk portrays loving disparity between a Brooklyn boy and a suburban estate girl, both attorneys in Manhattan, and a lifetime of envious competition. Monsignor Commissioner, Pastor Hildreth, a community leader in upscale Mulberry Downs, knows from the first words on his incoming mobile phone whether he is about to adjudicate a religious, political or criminal event.

Download or read book Shake Terribly the Earth written by Sarah Beth Childers and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sarah Beth Childers grew up listening to stories. She heard them riding to school with her mother, playing Yahtzee in her Granny’s nicotine cloud, walking to the bowling alley with her grandfather, and eating casseroles at the family reunions she attended every year. In a thoughtful, humorous voice born of Appalachian storytelling, Childers brings to life in these essays events that affected the entire region: large families that squeezed into tiny apartments during the Great Depression, a girl who stepped into a rowboat from a second-story window during Huntington’s 1937 flood, brothers who were whisked away to World War II and Vietnam, and a young man who returned home from the South Pacific and worked his life away as a railroad engineer. Childers uses these family tales to make sense of her personal journey and find the joy and clarity that often emerge after the earth shakes terribly beneath us.
Download or read book Nabokov and the Question of Morality written by Michael Rodgers and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-31 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first collection to address the vexing issue of Nabokov’s moral stances, this book argues that he designed his novels and stories as open-ended ethical problems for readers to confront. In a dozen new essays, international Nabokov scholars tackle those problems directly while addressing such questions as whether Nabokov was a bad reader, how he defined evil, if he believed in God, and how he constructed fictional works that led readers to become aware of their own moral positions. In order to elucidate his engagement with aesthetics, metaphysics, and ethics, Nabokov and the Question of Morality explores specific concepts in the volume’s four sections: “Responsible Reading,” “Good and Evil,” “Agency and Altruism,” and “The Ethics of Representation.” By bringing together fresh insights from leading Nabokovians and emerging scholars, this book establishes new interdisciplinary contexts for Nabokov studies and generates lively readings of works from his entire career.

Download or read book Deathbird Stories written by Harlan Ellison and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masterpieces of myth and terror about modern gods from technology to drugs to materialism—“fantasy at its most bizarre and unsettling” (The New York Times). As Earth approaches Armageddon, a man embarks on a quest to confront God in the Hugo Award–winning novelette, “The Deathbird.” In New York City, a brutal act of violence summons a malevolent spirit and a growing congregation of desensitized worshippers in “The Whimper of Whipped Dogs,” an Edgar Award winner influenced by the real-life murder of Queens resident Kitty Genovese in 1964. In “Paingod,” the deity tasked with inflicting pain and suffering on every living being in the universe questions the purpose of its cruel existence. Deathbird Stories collects these and sixteen more provocative tales exploring the futility of faith in a faithless world. A legendary author of speculative fiction whose best-known works include A Boy and His Dog and I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream—and whose major awards and nominations number in the dozens, Harlan Ellison strips away convention and hypocrisy and lays bare the human condition in modern society as ancient gods fade and new deities rise to appease the masses—gods of technology, drugs, gambling, materialism—that are as insubstantial as the beliefs of those who venerate them. In addition to his Nebula, Hugo, World Fantasy, Bram Stoker, Edgar, and other awards, Ellison was called “one of the great living American short story writers” by the Washington Post—and this collection makes it clear why he has earned such an extraordinary assortment of accolades. Stories include: “Introduction: Oblations at Alien Altars” “The Whimper of Whipped Dogs” “Along the Scenic Route” “On the Downhill Side” “O Ye of Little Faith” “Neon” “Basilisk” “Pretty Maggie Moneyeyes” “Corpse” “Shattered Like a Glass Goblin” “Delusion for a Dragon Slayer” “The Face of Helene Bournouw” “Bleeding Stones” “At the Mouse Circus” “The Place with No Name” “Paingod” “Ernest and the Machine God” “Rock God” “Adrift Just Off the Islets of Langerhans: Latitude 38° 54' N, Longitude 77° 00' 13" W” “The Deathbird”

Download or read book Trauma and Attachment in the Kindertransport Context written by Iris Guske and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume is the result of an interdisciplinary oral history research project, which was carried out at the Centre for German-Jewish Studies at the University of Sussex. It focuses on the Kindertransport, the British rescue operation saving 10,000 predominantly German-Jewish children from Nazi Germany, and is based on in-depth case studies of five child survivors of the Holocaust. Looking at human development over the life cycle as mediated by intervening trauma was at the heart of the project, which examined the making and breaking of a child's close ties to significant others, processes of identity formation under acculturative stress as well as the creation and recall of traumatic memories. The study is thus one of the few in the field of attachment research which sheds light on the lifelong influence which early attachment has on coping with massive cumulative trauma. The former child refugees' narratives are enriched by letters, diaries, or articles written by them and their (host) families as well as by interviews conducted with family members and friends. Consequently, we can look at individual lives and collective destinies from more than one perspective as we are provided with rich, multi-layered accounts of people's whole-life trajectories. While each Holocaust survivor's developmental story is unique, it is, however, linked to the others' by the common experience of negotiating an identity between two countries, cultures, and religions against the background of unparalleled political upheavals, and as such also sheds light on, and offers ways out of, the traumata suffered in present-day contexts of enforced migration and displacement.
