Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The White Hound is the second book of Andrei Zamfir and it is divided into two major parts: The Grey Skies and The Bleak Life in Modern Times.The first part focuses on the odyssey of Alfred Spears through time as he reflects on ancient mythology and the duality between nature and human nature in a novel embedded in 19th and 20th-century motifs and themes. The Grey Skies stretches from the Victorian prose in the likes of Charles Dickens to the bleak fatalism of H. P. Lovecraft. Furthermore, it incorporates the author's own views on contemporary life, thus, conceiving a mercilessly mosaic of chivalry and despair doubled by creativity and literary craft.

Download or read book White Dog written by Romain Gary and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2004-12 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both a personal memoir and a French novelist's encounter with American reality, White Dog is an unforgettable portrait of racism and hypocrisy. Set in the tumultuous Los Angeles of 1968, Romain Gary's story begins when a German shepherd strays into his life: "He was watching me, his head cocked to one side, with that unbearable intensity of dogs in the pound waiting for a rescuer." A lost police canine, this "white dog" is programmed to respond violently to the sight of a black man and Gary's attempts to deprogram it—like his attempts to protect his wife, the actress Jean Seberg; like her endeavors to help black activists; like his need to rescue himself from the "predicament of being trapped, lock, stock and barrel within a human skin"—lead from crisis to grief. Using the re-education of this adopted pet as a metaphor for the need to quash American racism, Gary develops a domestic crisis into a full-scale social allegory.

Download or read book Verbal Visual Configurations in Postcolonial Literature written by Birgit Neumann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-23 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining a range of contemporary Anglophone texts, this book opens up postcolonial and transcultural studies for discussions of visuality and vision. It argues that the preoccupation with visual practices in Anglophone literatures addresses the power of images, vision and visual aesthetics to regulate cultural visibility and modes of identification in an unevenly structured world. The representation of visual practices in the imaginative realm of fiction opens up a zone in which established orders of the sayable and visible may be revised and transformed. In 12 chapters, the book examines narrative fiction by writers such as Michael Ondaatje, Derek Walcott, Salman Rushdie, David Dabydeen and NoViolet Bulawayo, who employ word-image relations to explore the historically fraught links between visual practices and the experience of modernity in a transcultural context. Against this conceptual background, the examination of verbal-visual relations will illustrate how Anglophone fiction models alternative modes of re-presentation that reflect critically on hegemonic visual regimes and reach out for new, more pluralized forms of exchange.

Download or read book The Knights of the Round Table written by Daniel Mersey and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Knights of the Round Table were the original knights in shining armour, and this book is for anyone who is interested in fantastical tales of bravery or the actual history behind the stories. In medieval Arthurian tradition, Arthur often takes a back seat in the most exciting stories, appearing at the beginning and end of each to set the scene and conclude the tale. The central character is instead one of the Knights of the Round Table, each of whom is confronted with a wide variety of challenges and quests ranging from fighting monstrous creatures and rescuing damsels in distress to coping with courtly love and intrigue. Although Arthur is the best-known character from these stories his key knights – including Lancelot, Gawain, Perceval, and Tristan – are almost equally well known. This volume provides a collection of the most famous and interesting tales of the Knights of the Round Table, including the historical and literary background to the stories.
