Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rodney Anderson was a common man, but for a common man he lived an adventurous life. His adventures started during the depression in the irrigation canals of Southern Idaho. For nine years his adventures sent him down the "River of No Return" as a guide for the Boy Scouts of America. He found himself working with dynamite and helicopters to build trails and bridges in some of the remotest mountain regions of the United States. His adventures left him stranded in Alaska above the Arctic Circle and living on remote islands in the South Pacific. Through all these adventures he had time to raise five children, invent a paper cooking pot, and learn to tie doggy bows. If you consider yourself a common man or woman, reading about the life of Rodney Anderson will make you see your own life differently.

Download or read book The Common Man written by Maurice Manning and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2010-04-09 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Common Man, Maurice Manning’s fourth collection, is a series of ballad-like narratives, set down in loose, unrhymed iambic tetrameter, that honors the strange beauty of the Kentucky mountain country he knew as a child, as well as the idiosyncratic adventures and personalities of the oldtimers who were his neighbors, friends, and family. Playing off the book’s title, Manning demonstrates that no one is common or simple. Instead, he creates a detailed, complex, and poignant portrait—by turns serious and hilarious, philosophical and speculative, but ultimately tragic—of a fast-disappearing aspect of American culture. The Common Man’s accessibility and its enthusiastic and sincere charms make it the perfect antidote to the glib ironies that characterize much contemporary American verse. It will also help to strengthen Manning’s reputation as one of his generation’s most important and original voices.

His historical romances of frontier and Indian life in the early American days created a unique form of American literature. Before embarking on his career as a writer, Cooper served in the U.S. Navy as a Midshipman, which greatly influenced many of his novels and other writings. The novel that launched his career was The Spy, a tale about counterespionage set during the Revolutionary War. He also wrote numerous sea stories, and his best-known works are five historical novels of the frontier period known as the Leatherstocking Tales. Among his most famous works is the Romantic novel The Last of the Mohicans, often regarded as his masterpiece.

Download or read book Understanding the Lord of the Rings written by Rose A. Zimbardo and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2004 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Publisher's description: When first published, The Lord of the Rings stood far from the mainstream: no one had seen anything like it for decades. Tolkien's almost stridently antimodern tale needed valiant defenders, vocal admirers who understood its sources and relished its monumental scale. While such champions of modernism as Edmund Wilson mocked Tolkien's archaic structure and language, W.H. Auden -- a great modernist poet in his own right -- rose to his defense with a spirited essay on the true nature of the Hero Quest. Edmund Fuller's essay collected here discusses the nature of the fairy tale, returning to the roots of the term to remove the treacle of Disney and restore the value of realistic enchantment. Tolkien's friend C.S. Lewis takes up the question of why, if you have a serious comment to make about real life, you would drape it in a never-never land of your own. He shrewdly argues that it is because real life does have mythic and heroic qualities -- in abundance. This collection also includes, among others, essays by Marion Zimmer Bradley, Verlyn Flieger, Paul Kocher, Jane Chance, and each of the editors, as well as a brand-new essay by Tom Shippey that shows us how to process all this vast learning, adding to it the many delights of the film versions of Tolkien's epic masterpiece, so we can relish his achievement all the more.

Download or read book Cheap Print and Street Literature of the Long Eighteenth Century written by David Atkinson and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2023-09-04 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This deeply researched collection offers a comprehensive introduction to the eighteenth-century trade in street literature – ballads, chapbooks, and popular prints – in England and Scotland. Offering detailed studies of a selection of the printers, types of publication, and places of publication that constituted the cheap and popular print trade during the period, these essays delve into ballads, slip songs, story books, pictures, and more to push back against neat divisions between low and high culture, or popular and high literature. The breadth and depth of the contributions give a much fuller and more nuanced picture of what was being widely published and read during this period than has previously been available. It will be of great value to scholars and students of eighteenth-century popular culture and literature, print history and the book trade, ballad and folk studies, children’s literature, and social history.
