Download or read book Quicklet on James Joyce s Ulysses written by Nick Lindsey and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-07-30 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK James Joyce was most definitely an artist ahead of his time; and, as is so often the case with prophetic characters of any sort, his ideas and works were met with some resistance by the general public. This is particularly true of Joyce’s masterpiece, Ulysses. Beginning in March 1918, the first few episodes of Ulysses were serialized in the American journal, The Little Review. This continued until December 1920, when “members of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice were shocked by the novel’s masturbation scene and took it upon themselves to block U.S. publication of the full work” (About, Top 10 “Obscene” Literary Classics). For an audience still in many ways straddling the divide between the socially conservative sensibilities of the Victorian era and the newer notions of Modernism, Joyce’s novel must have seemed entirely scandalous, if not entirely incomprehensible. Throughout its pages, the narrative provides a detailed and persistent account of its protagonists’ activities over the course of a single day. It follows them wherever they go, whether it be to the beach, the brothel, a funeral, the newspaper office, the hospital, or the outhouse. The details regarding these locations, and especially the activities and events that occur at each, are presented unapologetically and candidly. In 1921, when the published chapters of Ulysses were taken to court in the United States, the material was officially declared obscene, and any future publication of the full-length novel in the U.S. was banned. Around this same time, the United Kingdom reached a similar conclusion, also barring publication of the novel. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK For an audience still in many ways straddling the divide between the socially conservative sensibilities of the Victorian era and the newer notions of Modernism, Joyce’s novel must have seemed entirely scandalous, if not entirely incomprehensible. Throughout its pages, the narrative provides a detailed and persistent account of its protagonists’ activities over the course of a single day.

Around this same time, the United Kingdom reached a similar conclusion, also barring publication of the novel. Responding to the legal injunctions forbidding the publication of Ulysses in either the U.S. or Great Britain, Joyce published his novel in Paris in 1922. After this initial publication, it took 11 more years before Joyce was able to publish openly and freely in other countries. In 1933, the American publishing company, Random House, along with prominent American lawyer, Morris Ernst, arranged to have a French copy of the novel sent to the United States, which would be seized by customs upon arrival. The seizure occurred according to their plan, and they immediately challenged the act, calling into question the legitimacy of the entire ban against Ulysses. On December 6, 1933, U.S. District Judge John M. Woolsey ruled that the novel was not pornographic, and therefore, was not obscene. This ruling was affirmed by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in 1934, and the ban on publication was lifted. Shortly thereafter, in 1936, the United Kingdom also lifted its ban... ...buy the book to read more!
Download or read book Quicklet On Victor Hugo s Les Miserables written by The Hyperink Team and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-02-08 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Despite the length of time elapsed between the first printing of Les Misérables in 1862 and my first experience reading the novel, the human needs and virtues of the characters captured my interest and emotions with ease. Hugo’s depictions of his characters in their struggles to live, find love, or simply become ‘good’ resonated with me on a deep level. The writing has a living quality, in addition to its richness and well-crafted structure. Les Misérables was written over a century ago, in a foreign language, and centers around a relatively small uprising in Paris – but Hugo’s subject, style, and skill bridge time and distance, and the work remains as beautiful today as when it was first published. MEET THE AUTHOR The Hyperink Team works hard to bring you high-quality, engaging, fun content. If ever you have any questions about our products, or suggestions for how we can make them better, please don't hesitate to contact us! Happy reading! EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Hugo’s novel takes place in France between 1815 and 1832, culminating in the 1832 June Rebellion in Paris. It follows the ex-convict Jean Valjean, imprisoned for a petty crime, as he tries to redeem himself and atone for his past. The novel’s 1862 publication followed over six months of rigorous advertisements and promotions. When the publisher released the first chapter, “Fantine,” copies sold out within hours in many cities. Les Misérables brought Hugo great financial and popular success. However, many of the eminent authors (such as Flaubert and Baudelaire) criticized it for overwhelming sentimentality and trying to achieve too much. The novel stemmed from Hugo’s desire to write about the social problems and issues of his day, and so he focused greatly on the plights of ordinary people. His descriptions of the living conditions of people from many different professions reveals the amount of research that went into his novel, which he began thinking about and planning almost 17 years in advance. The result was well worth his effort. Buy a copy to continue reading!
Download or read book Quicklet on F Scott Fitzgerald The Great Gatsby written by Hayley Igarishi and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2011-12-14 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK F. Scott Fitzgerald's grand story about disillusionment and hopeless love has charmed generations of readers and critics, but perhaps The Great Gatsby's greatest fan was its author. He told his editor, “I think my novel is about the best American novel ever written. So Fitzgerald is not the most humble man, but as the author of a novel which both chastises and celebrates humanity's vices, that fact should not come as such a surprise. The Great Gatsby, though a rather slender book, expounds upon larger-than-life flaws and mistakes of its characters. It is a story of more than just people, but of a country and a society lost amidst their own wealth, searching for their individuality and salvation. MEET THE AUTHOR Hayley Igarashi is a student at UC Davis preparing to graduate this summer with a degree in both history and philosophy. She has been writing fictional short stories since she was a child, and a couple of her pieces have even been published in small online magazines. Only recently has she discovered how nice writing about real life can be, a realization that took surprisingly long considering her background in history. She likes to read and at the moment is most inspired by the writings of Kurt Vonnegut, Jonathan Safran Foer, Kazuo Ishiguro, and because everyone needs a guilty pleasure, George R. R. Martin. When not studying for school, she enjoys doing normal things like hanging out with friends and family and watching movies. Items on her bucket list include sky-diving, running a marathon, writing a full-length novel, and learning how to cook something that tastes good.

Download or read book Quicklet on Ernest Hemingway s To Have and Have Not written by LeAnne Bagnall and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-04-04 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Based on his personal experiences and observations from living in Key West and Cuba, Hemingway composed the non-stop adventures of the indefatigable yachtsman Harry Morgan, an ex-policeman struggling to survive the Great Depression in the depths of Cuban revolutionary waters. The Morgan story was originally intended to be published in three separate short stories (Baker xvi)a narrative genre which Hemingway himself was redefining at the time. Hemingway had already published the first and second stories of Harry Morgan in Cosmopolitan and Esquire magazines (1934, 1935), and decided to revise all the tales into one novel. Yet the melding of the three stories, along with the intervening story of Richard Gordon, created a novel lacking in unity. Hemingway even admitted that To Have and Have Not was a procedural error (Baker xv), and his least gratifying book (Baker 205). The novel was crafted during a time in Hemingways life that experts describe as an interim period of artistic regression between his better glory days (Baker xvi). The start of the Spanish Civil War also influenced Hemingways time and focus on the novel, in that the main character as an individual comes to share the same fate as the oppressed proletarians of his society (Meyers 267). Hemingway worked and reworked with the manuscript, even relying on the unbiased editorial eyes of trusted friends (Mellow 485), until its final publication by Scribner in 1937. It opened to critical reviews which considered the work to be an anti-capitalist stance against the U.S. government with Marxist undertones, and as a novel divided against itselftelling multiple stories which just didnt cohere as a single novel (Mellow 488; Baker 205, 206). MEET THE AUTHOR LeAnne Bagnall is a professional Los Angeles-based writer and editor who specializes in American literature, culture, lifestyle, health, and community. LeAnne has been writing on topics of charity, philanthropy, health and wellness, and current events for a number of publications over the past five years. She earned a BA in English from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a Specialization in American Cultures and Global Contexts in 2006, and is trained in non-profit board management. She enjoys writing fiction, reading 20th century American and non-Western literature, swing dancing, watching classic film, collecting antiques, volunteering to support veterans, and spending her free time appreciating classic car culture. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK You know how it is there early in the morning in Havana with the bums still asleep against the walls of the buildings; before even the ice wagons come by with ice for the bars? Most likely, you do not knowand could not possibly even knowwhat it would be like to see this scenario, yet this is the world into which Hemingway plunges his reader at the start of To Have and Have Not. The novel is ultimately about the perils of the Haves and Have Nots trying to survive the economic crisis of the Great Depression within the locale of Key West and Havana. It is a tumultuous political and social climate; the desperate and helpless population (especially those Cubans running their political revolution) are forced to take any means of income available to them, including the black market, murder, robbery, and smuggling. This is the world to which Harry Morgan, the storys main character, belongs as well. Harry is a tough, bold, cynical, and exceptionally smart yachtsman with a wife and three daughters living in Key West. Harry is forced to run contraband as well as human smuggling on his boat to make a living and survive the societal decay of the region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK The story of Odysseus in Homer’s Odyssey is the quintessential story of the hero. The struggles that plague Odysseus are symbols for the sufferings all humans encounter and endure. Odysseus’ encounters with gods and monsters reinforce the idea that facing challenges is part of the human condition. His psychological and physical battles illuminate the necessity to rise above things such as greed, fear, temptation, and selfishness to focus on what is really important: the love of family. Like Odysseus, humans are at their best when we are able to stay strong in times of crisis, resisting the urge to give in to darker thoughts or feelings. Even today, the values upheld in the Odyssey serve as a beacon for those struggling to face life’s challenges. MEET THE AUTHOR Kent Page McGroarty is a freelance writer. She is a frequent lifestyle contributor to online magazine EDGE Publications and Demand Media sites LIVESTRONG.com, eHow Home and Garden and Local.com. She has a B.A. in English from Saint Joseph's University. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK In addition to leaving behind wife Penelope, Odysseus has missed the childhood of his son, Telemachus, who was a baby when his father left for war. In the first book, Odysseus’s palace has been overrun by suitors who wish to marry Penelope and subsequently rule his kingdom of Ithaca. The now-grown Telemachus desperately wants to get rid of the suitors who eat Penelope’s food, drink her wine, and continually pester her to pick one of them, as they believe Odysseus to be deader than dead. Luckily for Odysseus, his wife is about as clever as he is, and finds ways to avoid their “affections.” She remains faithful to Odysseus, though one of the suitors, Antinous, plans to murder Telemachus, whom he views as his only threat to the throne of Ithaca. Greek goddess Athena, disguised as old family friend Mentes, descends upon Ithaca to inform Telemachus that his father is still alive. Odysseus is imprisoned on an island with Calypso, a beautiful nymph in love with the hero. The goddess prepares Telemachus for a quest to find his father, as Odysseus no longer has a ship or crew with which to leave Calypso’s island. Telemachus sets out to look for Odysseus, and through his visits with Greek kings Nestor and Menelaus the reader learns more about Odysseus’s journey. Odysseus himself also tells of his adventures after washing up on the shores of Phoenicians after the messenger god Hermes, sent by Zeus, convinces Calypso to free Odysseus. He is found by the beautiful princess of the Phoenicians and partakes of great hospitality from her parents, the king and queen of the Phoenicians... Buy a copy to keep reading!

Book excerpt: Hèléne Cixous -- author, playwright and French feminist theorist -- is a key figure in twentieth-century literary theory. Stigmata brings together her most recent essays for the first time. Acclaimed for her intricate and challenging writing style, Cixous presents a collection of texts that get away -- escaping the reader, the writers, the book. Cixous's writing pursues authors such as Stendhal, Joyce, Derrida, and Rembrandt, da Vinci, Picasso -- works that share an elusive movement in spite of striking differences. Along the way these essays explore a broad range of poetico-philosophical questions that have become characteristic of Cixous' work: * love's labours lost and found * feminine hours * autobiographies of writing * the prehistory of the work of art Stigmata goes beyond theory, becoming an extraordinary writer's testimony to our lives and times.
