Download or read book Random Thoughts written by Prabhat K. Singh and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-04 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Random Thoughts is a collection of fifteen essays in literary criticism, some revised, improved and reprinted, and others in print for the first time. These essays are the outcome of the author’s intensive reading and revaluation of a wide variety of Indian, British, African, Singaporean and Pakistani writers and their works in English. Ranging from William Shakespeare to Rabindranath Tagore, from Edward Said to Salman Rushdie, from Chinua Achebe to Edwin Thumboo, from Shiv K. Kumar to K. N. Daruwalla, from Shashi Deshpande to Cyrus Mistry, they are the evidence of exercises in critical intelligence. In addition, there are essays focused on the nature and function of transparency in autobiography, theoretical perceptions about the author-text relationship, Indian feminism, Indian English children’s literature, the Buddhist vision in English literature, and Pakistani poetry in English. The book, thus, addresses the works of different literary genres – poetry, fiction, drama, memoir, and translation – sensitively and with a freshness of approach. Since these writers mostly figure in the university syllabi in India and abroad, the book is a valuable contribution to the body of literary criticism, and is especially useful for students, teachers, researchers and readers with an interest in English literature.

Download or read book The Trust of Old Men written by A. L. Provost and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-10-14 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our saga began with a mysterious hit-and-run accident on a narrow, snow-swept highway in eastern North Carolina at 7:15 p.m. on December 20, 1920. It ended three months later in a hail of gunfire on the fourth-deck passageway of a Panama-bound steamship in Baltimore harbor. Could these two seminal events relate to the presumed accidental deaths of seventeen elderly residents of five rural North Carolina Coastal Plain counties, each of whom just happened to be the last surviving member of his or her line? The authorities were mystified. Perhaps the reader should not expect a happy ending. Interesting? Immensely. Predictable? Absolutely not. Another page-turner? Most assuredly.

Download or read book Heard But Not Seen written by Daniel Morganstern and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the principal cellist of the Chicago Lyric Opera and as the principal cellist of the American Ballet Theatre orchestra, Daniel Morganstern spent more than four decades performing virtually every cello solo in the opera and ballet repertoire from the orchestral pits of the Metropolitan Opera House in New York and the Civic Opera House in Chicago. He was often heard on radio and television broadcasts accompanying great singers like Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, Joan Sutherland, Samuel Ramey, and Renee Fleming, and great dancers like Mikhail Baryshnikov, Natalia Makarova, and Rudolph Nureyev, but he was never seen by the audience. Following his retirement from the Lyric Opera in 2012, Mr. Morganstern assembled a retrospective of his career, beginning with his musical coming of age during the early 1960s, a true golden age of opportunity for musicians in America. He offers a lively picture of the times, gives candid portraits of his teachers, particularly Leonard Rose, and presents human sides of the many conductors he worked closely with during his long career.

Book excerpt: Nomas, a curious inquisitive boy of fourteen summers, sought out the people who passed through his community in a caravan. He had a unique skill that would help him with a job that the Elders in his community were desperate for him to carry out. He needed to find out where these mysterious people lived and how they stayed hidden from the rest of the world. They had possessions that the Elders wanted for the Community—security, technology, wealth, and food. Nomas discovers the world is a very different place than his very ordered and controlled life in the Community. Nomas struggles to survive as he travels, fighting off wild dogs in the valley, escaping renegades on the roads, avoiding marauders in the devasted city, and going through a putrid forest. He finds shelter and friendship in the hidden Village. Gilia, the red-haired girl with a small dog, shows Nomas that life can have joy and happiness even if hard things happen. Nomas travels with the Villagers to a wild trading Bazaar and a city that is run by the AI machines. Nomas, once afraid of anything new or unknown, uses his unique abilities to fight an evil that rules the people in a shattered world.
