Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sentimental Journey begins in the 1950s in New York City, teeming with European immigrants who occupy sought-after apartments in a state of disrepair and ready to crumble around them. Author Nancy Carroll-Johnson learns of her parents’ plans to relocate to sunny California for a better life at the tender age of eleven. In this memoir, she offers a portrayal of a Scots-Irish family of six jammed into a 1952 Plymouth, pulling a U-Haul trailer carrying all their belongings across the United States. Born with a congenital heart defect, having undergone cutting-edge, life-saving open heart surgery at age three, the story of her progressive medical intervention appears in multiple prominent newspapers. Despite obvious contraindications, she has no choice but to breathe in the plumes of smoke exhaled as a result of her parents’ Philip Morris habit, along with her brother and two sisters, as they make their way to parts unknown. Through much laughter and tears, and more than one cross-country trip, the Carroll family arrives and stays put on the West Coast. At age sixteen, Nancy meets Drew, and they live on love for the rest of their lives. Sentimental Journey shares an honest and touching story of Carroll-Johnson’s journey through time.

Download or read book Airborne written by William F. Buckley Jr. and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-08-01 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airborne is how William F. Buckley, Jr. describes his sail across the wide Atlantic with his son and five friends. The trip, for fifteen years a dream, for fifteen months a planned operation, was always a risk: one doesn’t set out haphazardly in a small sailboat across 4,400 miles of ocean, and Buckley’s account of perils of the sea as experienced by himself since he acquired his first sailboat at age thirteen is at once graphic, instructive, and terrifying. But, we learn quickly, the concern is mostly for the prospect of thirty days and thirty nights away from the cosmopolitan jungle to which he and his friends are accustomed; their lair, so to speak. But it happened: notwithstanding vicissitudes amusing, annoying, and even dangerous, suddenly the schooner, and the entire trip, were airborne, and the experience resulted in a fusion of hopes, fears, ambitions, and pleasures that lifts the book from the category of mere chronicles of the sea, into a chronicle of our time, a passage of the spirit.
Download or read book Laurence Sterne s A Sentimental Journey written by W. B. Gerard and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-12 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laurence Sterne’s A Sentimental Journey through France and Italy continues to be as widely read and admired as upon its first appearance. Deemed more accessible than Sterne’s Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, and often assigned as a college text, A Sentimental Journey has received its share of critical attention, but—unlike Tristram Shandy—to date it has not been the subject of a dedicated anthology of critical essays. This volume fills that gap with fresh perspectives on Sterne’s novel that will appeal to students and critics alike. Together with an introduction that situates each essay within A Sentimental Journey’s reception history, and a tailpiece detailing the culmination of Sterne’s career and his death, this volume presents a cohesive approach to this significant text that is simultaneously grounded and revelatory.

Book excerpt: Finding Home: A Sentimental Journey is an account of my migration to a new place and a quest to determine whether the emotional content of fervor and affection for the land of my birth could be experienced elsewhere. Many years ago, in 1902, my great-grandmother had undertaken such a journey from her native land of Martinique to a Trinidad where she subsequently was married and raised a family. Often, we talked about where was home for the émigré and whether it was possible to experience home and homeland in two places. Was the notion of home to be confined only to the place of one's birth? A place infused with the memories of growing up and which accounts for the spiritual pull to return? This yearning to return she often described as the "homing instinct." Does homeland apply only to the land where one's parents are buried and the only place where one can obtain a birth certificate? Or is there such a concept as an adopted homeland? She wanted to know whether the homeland of her husband could be called her "adopted homeland." If so, can this give rise to feelings of disloyalty towards the land of her birth. She yearned to return to her beloved Martinique. But much to her chagrin, when she returned, she could not recognize the place. So much had changed over the years. My journey to the USA many years later was for a different reason but gave rise to similar questions and a determination to find the answers to my great-grandmother's quest. In essence, it turned out to be a journey that spanned many years, one which was ably guided by the multifaceted nature of love and commitment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Love is nothing without feeling. And feeling is still less without love.' Celebrated in its own day as the progenitor of 'a school of sentimental writers', A Sentimental Journey (1768) has outlasted its many imitators because of the humour and mischievous eroticism that inform Mr Yorick's travels. Setting out to journey to France and Italy he gets little further than Lyons but finds much to appreciate, in contrast to contemporary travel writers whom Sterne satirizes in the figures of Smelfungus and Mundungus. A master of ambiguity and double entendre, Sterne is nevertheless as concerned as his peers with exploring the nature of virtue; unlike other writers of sentimental fiction Sterne insists on the inseparability of desire and feeling. This new edition includes a selection from The Sermons of Mr Yorick, which shed light on the concerns of the Journey, The Journal to Eliza, which records Sterne's feelings as he languishes for the company of Eliza Draper, and A Political Romance, the satire on a local ecclesiastical squabble that was the catalyst for Sterne's literary career. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
