Download or read book Washington Irving written by Brian Jay Jones and published by Skyhorse Publishing Inc.. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brian Jay Jones crafts a deft biography of the author of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and “Rip van Winkle”: quintessential New Yorker, presidential confidant, diplomat, lawyer, and fascinating charmer. The first American writer to make his pen his primary means of support, Washington Irving rocketed to fame at the age of twenty-six. In 1809 he published A History of New York under the pseudonym Diedrich Knickerbocker, to great acclaim. The public’s appetite for all things Irving was insatiable; his name alone guaranteed sales. At the time, he was one of the most famous men in the world, a friend of Dickens, Hawthorne, and Longfellow, as well as Astor, van Buren, and Madison. But his sparkling public persona was only one side of this gentleman author. In brilliant, meticulous strokes, Brian Jay Jones renders Washington Irving in all his flawed splendor—someone who fretted about money and employment, suffered from writer’s block, and doggedly cultivated his reputation. Jones offers a very human portrait of the often contrasting public and private lives of this true American original.

Book excerpt: A storyteller examines Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and the lore that inspired it, as well as other local legends of the Hudson Valley. The story of Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman is one of America's best-known fables, but what other stories does the Hudson Valley hold? Imps cause mischief on the Hudson River, a white lady haunts Raven Rock, Major Andre’s ghost seeks redemption and real headless Hessians search for their severed skulls. These mysterious and spooky tales from the region’s past inspired Irving and continue to captivate the imagination to this day. “Kruk has been enchanting audiences with his dramatic, enticing storytelling ability for 20 years.” —Suzanne Rothberg, Tarrytown-Sleepy Hollow Patch

Book excerpt: A literary event—twenty short stories by the late Maeve Brennan, one of The new Yorker's most admired writers. Five are set in the author's native Dublin, a city, like Joyce's, of paralyzed souls and unexpressed love. the others are set in and around her adopted Manhattan, which she once called "the capsized city—half–capsized, anyway, with the inhabitants hanging on, most of them still able to laugh as they cling to the island that is their life's predicament." Some of the stories are quietly tender, some ferociously satirical, some unique in their chilly emotional weather. All are Maeve Brennan at her incomparable best.

Book excerpt: Logline: In a town enamored with its own "Unhallowed Horseman" legend, a distraught teenage boy must come to terms with his own demons and perhaps the Horseman himself. Synopsis: Set in small-town picturesque America, during All Hallow's Eve, against the backdrop of a seemingly peaceful place with an iconic past, the psychological thriller "The Unhallowed Horseman" follows the coming-of-age of Vincent; A distraught and troubled young man, and his descent into his own mind.As the title suggests, some things about the town and its inhabitants aren't quite as they seem. In fact, generations of families have been living there, with a deep and dark secret, on the verge of reincarnating itself once again. With the help of his newfound love for the innocent Lorraine, Vincent navigates the treacherous obstacles of authority figures throughout his life. Whether it be the overbearing no-holds-barred Sheriff, his own tempestuous mother, or the holier-than-thou townsfolk, Vincent seems to be under constant bombardment from prying eyes. What's more, Lorraine's overprotective father, Deputy Constance, suspects Vincent may have committed some very heinous crimes. Only after uncovering the town's history does Vincent begin to unravel its complex mystery, and that of the people living there, including that of his very own ancestors. We will see if he can do it in time to save the people he truly loves, or if he, like the others, will simply fall prey to an age-old curse passed down through the centuries. The town prepares for the return of a killer legend, while one young man prepares to take on his own innermost demons. "THE UNHALLOWED HORSEMAN" is a contemporary reimagining based on characters of the American classic, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Washington Irving, the Father of American Literature.

Download or read book A Journey Through Literary America written by Thomas R. Hummel and published by Val de Grace. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 304 page coffee table book takes a look at 26 of America s great authors and the places that inspired them. Unique to this book of literary biography is the element of the photograph. With over 140 photographs throughout, the images add mood and dimension to the writing and they are often shockingly close to what the featured authors described in their own words. Lushly illustrated, and beautifully designed, the book is as much of a pleasure to look at as it is to read. Rags to riches. Forbidden loves. Supernatural experiences. Narrow escapes. Some of the greatest stories of American literature are the stories of the scribes themselves and of the places that sparked their imaginations. In 2007, writer Thomas Hummel and photographer Tamra Dempsey set out in search of the sources of inspiration for 26 of this country's greatest authors. Two years and twenty thousand miles later, the result is A Journey Through Literary America -- a literary pilgrimage in photography and prose. In the words of one reviewer, "this is a beautiful and necessary book."
