However, once inside the marketplaces, Aislinn realizes it’s not just a case of tracking down the person selling the videos.

Download or read book Night Memorial Edition written by Elie Wiesel and published by Hill and Wang. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A memorial edition of Elie Wiesel’s seminal memoir of surviving the Nazi death camps, with tributes by President Obama and Samantha Power When Elie Wiesel died in July 2016, the White House issued a memorial statement in which President Barack Obama called him “the conscience of the world.” The whole of the president’s eloquent tribute serves as a foreword to this memorial edition of Night. “Like millions of admirers, I first came to know Elie through his account of the horror he endured during the Holocaust simply because he was Jewish,” wrote the president. In 1986, when Wiesel received the Nobel Peace Prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wrote, “Elie Wiesel was rescued from the ashes of Auschwitz after storm and fire had ravaged his life. In time he realized that his life could have purpose: that he was to be a witness, the one who would pass on the account of what had happened so that the dead would not have died in vain and so the living could learn.” Night, which has sold millions of copies around the world, is the very embodiment of that conviction. It is written in simple, understated language, yet it is emotionally devastating, never to be forgotten. Born in the town of Sighet, Transylvania, Wiesel was a teenager when he and his family were deported to Auschwitz and then Buchenwald. Night is the shattering record of his memories of the death of his mother, father, and little sister, Tsipora; the death of his own innocence; and his despair as a deeply observant Jew confronting the absolute evil of man. “Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night,” writes Wiesel. “Never shall I forget . . . even were I condemned to live as long as God Himself.” These words are etched into the wall of the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington. Far more than a chronicle of the sadistic realm of the camps, Night also addresses many of the philosophical and personal questions implicit in any serious consideration of the Holocaust. In addition to tributes from President Obama and Samantha Powers, this memorial edition of Night includes the unpublished text of a speech that Wiesel delivered before the United Nations General Assembly on the sixtieth anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, entitled “Will the World Ever Know.” These remarks powerfully resonate with Night and with subsequent acts of genocide.
Download or read book Self portraits written by Andrea Peterson and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1915 Vera Brittain began to wonder whether it was possible to 'make a book out of the very essence of one's self'. In this study, the author moves away from Brittain's already well-documented political passions - socialism, feminism and pacifism - to discuss her enduring fascination with philosophy and the problems surrounding the literary representation of subjectivity. Using the psychoanalytical, philosophical and literary theories known to Brittain as well as some more recent and pertinent theoretical developments, the author examines not only Brittain's explicitly autobiographical writings, but also all of her published novels, The Dark Tide (1923), Not Without Honour (1924), Honourable Estate (1936), Account Rendered (1945) and Born 1925 (1948). This insightful and accessible book details Brittain's innovative writing methods and re-evaluates her contribution to the development of the novel during the early twentieth century. The author offers a new and interesting perspective on one of the most popular writers of the First World War.

The book is a provocation and a challenge to the art of writing, presented in non-chronological order and grouped by content, time, and space. Each chapter is carefully sequenced to unburden ideas and create contrasts, inviting readers to explore and reflect. The initial chapters collect experiences that touch the soul, celebrating the beauty and misery of our existence. Certain themes prompt introspection amidst lived contradictions, obliging us to recognize ourselves in every human circumstance. The following chapters of the book lead us to recognize solidarity, fraternity, kindness, generosity, and amazement in the environment and human condi- tion. Others lead us to contemplation, intellectual curiosity, and the search for our destiny through other thoughts or stories, within the context of a society often subjugated by arrogance and imposition. Subsequently, the poems gather lost absences, compassion, romantic dreams, and anguish - experiences that are common to many of us. The collection concludes with reflections on technology, which has the potential to replace Homo sapiens, but can also redeem us with a different and regulated logic. The purpose of this work is to contribute to the preservation of poetry in a world dominated by technology and hyper-consumption. As the French philosopher Lipovesky stated in his work THE ERA OF VACUUM, 'The ascetic ideal is no longer the cultural reference but consumption.'

Download or read book Buried Dreams written by Hadena James and published by Hadena James. This book was released on 2020-12-27 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some American cities thrive on the gilded dreams of young hopefuls. An endless stream of beautiful naïve woman, barely out-of-school ebb and flow through their streets, providing a smorgasbord for predators. Few of these women will see their names in lights, the grim realities of city life forcing them to find alternative income sources; improving their chances of being victimized. Rarely do these missing women get noticed. But when over a dozen of these women disappear in a short time to never reappear, even law enforcement notices. The FBI arrives first on the scene, but no bodies leaves the agents impotent. They pass the case along to the Serial Crimes Tracking Unit. Aislinn Cain instantly realizes there are two major difficulties for her and her team: The victims are prostitutes, and most people don’t care if someone is murdering prostitutes, and without bodies it is impossible to make a case that they have become prey for a serial killer. However, after looking through the case files assembled on the missing women, she knows in her bones that Nashville, Tennessee, has a serial killer stalking the streets at night. This case will test Aislinn Cain as she struggles against people who consider themselves morally superior to the victims and work with academics to invent new search techniques to discover their victims’ remains. This will be the first time she’s using the new investigative skills she’s learned, along with trusting her intuition and knowledge of the killers that hunt in the dark.
Download or read book Protestant Boy written by Geoffrey Beattie and published by Granta Books. This book was released on 2013-02-07 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geoffrey Beattie grew up in the notorious 'murder triangle' in North Belfast, where during thirty years of the Troubles more than six hundred people were killed. Many of his childhood friends ended up dead or in prison, while Beattie himself moved to England, at first to study and eventually to build a highly successful career as a psychologist. On a visit home to see his ailing mother, Beattie begins to explore his Ulster Protestant ancestry and to reflect on the unfashionable and little understood Protestant community. His search takes him to the trenches of the Somme, to the Plantation villages of Ulster, and to Drumcree for the Orange march. And it also takes him deeper into his mother's character: at the heart of the book is an extraordinarily vivid portrait of this opinonated, witty, exasperating Ulsterwoman. Protestant Boy is an honest, beautifully written book about the stories that families and cultures tell themselves, and about the silences that they leave behind.

Download or read book Heimat A German Dream written by Elizabeth Boa and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2000-09-21 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discourse of Heimat, meaning homeland or roots, has been a medium of debate on German identity between region and nation for at least a century. Four phases parallel Germany's discontinuous history: Heimat literature as a response to modernization and to regional tensions before the First World War; the inter-war period when Heimat divided into racist ideology, left-wing opposition, and inner resistance to the Third Reich; a post-war dialectic between escapist 1950s Heimat films and right-wing claims to the lost lands in the East to which anti-Heimat theatre and films in the 1960s and 1970s were a response, with the urban Heimat in GDR films adding a socialist twist; regionalism and green politics in the 1980s and German identity beyond Cold War divisions. A key point of reference in current debates on German history, Heimat looks likely to continue in postmodern and multicultural mode.
