Download or read book A Raisin in the Sun written by Lorraine Hansberry and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-11-02 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Never before, in the entire history of the American theater, has so much of the truth of Black people's lives been seen on the stage," observed James Baldwin shortly before A Raisin in the Sun opened on Broadway in 1959. This edition presents the fully restored, uncut version of Hansberry's landmark work with an introduction by Robert Nemiroff. Lorraine Hansberry's award-winning drama about the hopes and aspirations of a struggling, working-class family living on the South Side of Chicago connected profoundly with the psyche of Black America—and changed American theater forever. The play's title comes from a line in Langston Hughes's poem "Harlem," which warns that a dream deferred might "dry up/like a raisin in the sun." "The events of every passing year add resonance to A Raisin in the Sun," said The New York Times. "It is as if history is conspiring to make the play a classic."

Download or read book Everything Explained That Is Explainable written by Denis Boyles and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything Explained That Is Explainable is the audacious, utterly improbable story of the publication of the Eleventh Edition of the legendary Encyclopædia Britannica. It is the tale of a young American entrepreneur who rescued a dying publication with the help of a floundering newspaper, and in so doing produced a series of books that forever changed the face of publishing. Thanks to the efforts of 1,500 contributors, among them a young staff of university graduates as well as some of the most distinguished names of the day, the Eleventh Edition combined scholarship and readability in a way no previous encyclopedia had (or ever has again). Denis Boyles’s work of cultural history pulls back the curtain on the 44-million-word testament to the age of reason that has profoundly shaped the way we see the world.

Download or read book Further Genealogical Notes on the Tyrrell Terrell Family of Virginia and Its English and Norman French Progenitors written by Edwin Holland Terrell and published by . This book was released on 1909 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This examination of the Tyrrell-Terrell clan stretches back to the Middle Ages, finding and explaining references to ancestors who resided in Europe several centuries ago. Although brief, this book's contents are the result of deep researches into archival data undertaken at the beginning of the 20th century. The enquiry resulted in the discovery of the family founder, who was connected with the Counts of the Vexin - a group of nobles who ruled lands in a time predating the Norman Conquest of England in the 11th century. From here, we are taken through the various manifestations of Tyrrell/Terrell ancestors, often recorded under a variety of different spellings due to inconsistent records keeping of the distant past. Later in the enquiry, we see various Tyrrell family members appear as émigrés in colonial North America, with records found in the archives of both New York and Boston. Mentions of notable family members and their progeny also appear, that readers can trace the lineages over the centuries. Descendants as well as genealogy enthusiasts will find this research illuminating, both in the sense of what was uncovered, as well as the limitations present in sources from long ago.
