Download or read book The Reluctant Fundamentalist written by Mohsin Hamid and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2009-06-05 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the award-winning Moth Smoke comes a perspective on love, prejudice, and the war on terror that has never been seen in North American literature. At a café table in Lahore, a bearded Pakistani man converses with a suspicious, and possibly armed, American stranger. As dusk deepens to night, he begins the tale that has brought them to this fateful meeting. . . Changez is living an immigrant’s dream of America. At the top of his class at Princeton, he is snapped up by Underwood Samson, an elite firm that specializes in the “valuation” of companies ripe for acquisition. He thrives on the energy of New York and the intensity of his work, and his infatuation with regal Erica promises entrée into Manhattan society at the same exalted level once occupied by his own family back in Lahore. For a time, it seems as though nothing will stand in the way of Changez’s meteoric rise to personal and professional success. But in the wake of September 11, he finds his position in his adopted city suddenly overturned, and his budding relationship with Erica eclipsed by the reawakened ghosts of her past. And Changez’s own identity is in seismic shift as well, unearthing allegiances more fundamental than money, power, and perhaps even love. Elegant and compelling, Mohsin Hamid’s second novel is a devastating exploration of our divided and yet ultimately indivisible world. “Excuse me, sir, but may I be of assistance? Ah, I see I have alarmed you. Do not be frightened by my beard: I am a lover of America. I noticed that you were looking for something; more than looking, in fact you seemed to be on a mission, and since I am both a native of this city and a speaker of your language, I thought I might offer you my services as a bridge.” —from The Reluctant Fundamentalist

Download or read book Sleepy Hollow Birth of the Legend written by Gary Denis and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-16 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" a true story? Is Sleepy Hollow a real place? Were Ichabod Crane and Katrina Van Tassel real people? Did Ichabod really encounter the ghost of a Headless Hessian? (Or someone masquerading as one?) Almost as soon as "The Legend" was first published in the spring of 1820, readers began trying to guess the "true identities" of the characters in the story. Many of their theories evolved into "local traditions" passed down through many generations - but which, if any, are correct? (And which are nonsense ) This work is the result of more than seven years studying Irving's stories, correspondence and journals, as well as contemporary news and magazine articles, church records, genealogies, etc. The author uses the evidence gathered to sort fact from fiction, debunking a few long-standing "traditions" while validating others. Where did Irving find his Ichabod, Katrina and Brom? And exactly how much of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is true? Come inside and find out!
