Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is considered the greatest American novel, but it has long faced two problems in reaching new readers: a distasteful racial slur, and the lack of the sort of genre elements that draw in today's young readers. Here we offer you the full text of the book, with just a single word change allowing us to bring you exciting passages like:Strange zombies would stand with their mouths open and look him all over, same as if he was a wonder.I see it warn't no use wasting words—you can't learn a zombie to argue. So I quit.Children was heeling it ahead of the mob, screaming and trying to get out of the way; and every window along the road was full of women's heads, and there was zombie boys in every tree...So Tom turns to the zombie, which was looking wild and distressed, and says, kind of severe: “What do you reckon's the matter with you, anyway?”“Good gracious! anybody hurt?”“No'm. Killed a zombie.”

Book excerpt: Es gibt kein besseres Zuhause als ein Floß, denn dort erwischen dich die Monster nicht. Zumindest nicht so leicht ... Endlich frei! Huckleberry Finn und sein bester und totester Freund, Zombie Jim, haben den Anker gelichtet, um sich in ein neues Abenteuer zu stürzen. Doch diesmal sind Klapperschlangen, Betrüger und Räuber ihr geringstes Problem. Die in ganz Amerika wütende Tuberkulose tötet Menschen und bringt sie bösartiger und hungriger denn je zurück, und niemand vermag, die Untoten in ihrer Gier zu stoppen. Huck kann zwar nicht wirklich sicher sein, ob ihn seine Freundschaft zu Jim davor bewahren wird, irgendwann als dessen Mahlzeit zu enden, doch da auf Jim ein Kopfgeld für einen Mord an Huck ausgesetzt ist, den der selbst vorgetäuscht hat, bleibt ihnen nichts anderes übrig, als sich und den Launen des mächtigen Mississippi zu vertrauen und sich auf eine halsbrecherische Flucht zu begeben ...

Download or read book Books of the Dead written by Tim Lanzendörfer and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2018-08-08 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The zombie has cropped up in many forms—in film, in television, and as a cultural phenomenon in zombie walks and zombie awareness months—but few books have looked at what the zombie means in fiction. Tim Lanzendörfer fills this gap by looking at a number of zombie novels, short stories, and comics, and probing what the zombie represents in contemporary literature. Lanzendörfer brings together the most recent critical discussion of zombies and applies it to a selection of key texts including Max Brooks’s World War Z, Colson Whitehead’s Zone One, Junot Díaz’s short story “Monstro,” Robert Kirkman’s comic series The Walking Dead, and Seth Grahame-Smith’s Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Within the context of broader literary culture, Lanzendörfer makes the case for reading these texts with care and openness in their own right. Lanzendörfer contends that what zombies do is less important than what becomes possible when they are around. Indeed, they seem less interesting as metaphors for the various ways the world could end than they do as vehicles for how the world might exist in a different and often better form.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of the Zombie written by June Michele Pulliam and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-06-19 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating read for anyone from general readers to hardcore fans and scholars, this encyclopedia covers virtually every aspect of the zombie as cultural phenomenon, including film, literature, folklore, music, video games, and events. The proliferation of zombie-related fiction, film, games, events, and other media in the last decade would seem to indicate that zombies are "the new vampires" in popular culture. The editors and contributors of Encyclopedia of the Zombie: The Walking Dead in Popular Culture and Myth took on the prodigious task of covering all aspects of the phenomenon, from the less-known historical and cultural origins of the zombie myth to the significant works of film and literature as well as video games in the modern day that feature the insatiable, relentless zombie character. The encyclopedia examines a wide range of significant topics pertaining to zombies, such as zombies in the pulp magazines; the creation of the figure of the zuvembie to subvert decades of censorship by the Comics Code of Authority; Humans vs. Zombies, a popular zombie-themed game played on college campuses across the country; and annual Halloween zombie walks. Organized alphabetically to facilitate use of the encyclopedia as a research tool, it also includes entries on important scholarly works in the expanding field of zombie studies.

Download or read book Textual Transformations in Children s Literature written by Benjamin Lefebvre and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-04 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers new critical approaches for the study of adaptations, abridgments, translations, parodies, and mash-ups that occur internationally in contemporary children’s culture. It follows recent shifts in adaptation studies that call for a move beyond fidelity criticism, a paradigm that measures the success of an adaptation by the level of fidelity to the "original" text, toward a methodology that considers the adaptation to be always already in conversation with the adapted text. This book visits children’s literature and culture in order to consider the generic, pedagogical, and ideological underpinnings that drive both the process and the product. Focusing on novels as well as folktales, films, graphic novels, and anime, the authors consider the challenges inherent in transforming the work of authors such as William Shakespeare, Charles Perrault, L.M. Montgomery, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and A.A. Milne into new forms that are palatable for later audiences particularly when—for perceived ideological or political reasons—the textual transformation is not only unavoidable but entirely necessary. Contributors consider the challenges inherent in transforming stories and characters from one type of text to another, across genres, languages, and time, offering a range of new models that will inform future scholarship.
