In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the publication of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, this beautiful biography of Maya Angelou describes how she rose above a childhood of trauma and emotional pain to become one of the most inspiring voices of our lifetime.
Writer, activist, trolley car conductor, dancer, mother, and humanitarian--Maya Angelou's life was marked by transformation and perseverance. In this comprehensive picture-book biography geared towards older readers, Bethany Hegedus lyrically traces Maya's life from her early days in Stamps, Arkansas, through her work as a freedom fighter to her triumphant rise as a poet of the people.
A foreword by Dr. Angelou's grandson Colin Johnson, describes how a love of literature and poetry helped young Maya overcome childhood trauma and turn adversity into triumph. Coupled with Tonya Engel's metaphorical and emotive illustrations, this biography beautifully conveys the heartaches and successes of this truly phenomenal woman, and in a powerful tribute to the written word.

Описание: "So effective is the author's treatment . . . that he manages to bring home in a remarkable manner the suffering of the homosexual. . . . It took real courage to write this story, plus a profound insight into human feelings and sensitivities." - Frank G. Slaughter, New York Times "A sad, serious first novel called The Heart in Exile cannot fairly be ignored. . . . Its detached picture of barren tragic love and desire in a furtive fantastic 'underground' sector of London can arouse no disgust but only a deep pity coupled with a new understanding." - Marghanita Laski, The Observer "An extremely important book." - Truth "A completely honest story of homosexual life in London. . . . It makes no attempt to defend or condemn. A well-written work." - John Betjeman, Daily Telegraph "Written with great competence." - Walter Allen, New Statesman Julian Leclerc, a handsome and talented young barrister, has been found dead of an apparent overdose of sleeping pills. The verdict is accidental death, but his fianc e, Ann Hewitt, suspects there's something more to the story. As the grieving woman recounts the details of Julian's tragic end to psychiatrist Dr. Tony Page, he listens with acute interest - but not for the reason she thinks. Years earlier, he and Julian had been lovers, and now, disturbed by the circumstances of his friend's demise, Tony sets out to uncover the truth. His quest will take him from the parties and pubs of the gay underworld of 1950s London to Scotland Yard and the House of Commons as he uses his shrewd and penetrating insight to find who or what was responsible for Julian's death. But he may discover more than he bargained for - about Julian, and himself. . . . First published in 1953, Rodney Garland's noir thriller The Heart in Exile is both a groundbreaking classic of gay fiction and the first gay detective story. Long unavailable, Garland's famous novel returns to print at last in this edition, which features a new introduction by Neil Bartlett.
Mit dem frisch erschienenen Band 'Small Language, What Now...?' beabsichtigen die Herausgeber die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Einheit von Lehre und Forschung im Humboldtschen Sinne zu lenken. Den Kern des Studienbandes bilden die Vortr?ge der gleichnamigen Konferenz, in denen die ausgewogene Wechselwirkung von Theorie und Praxis eindeutig verwirklicht wird. Im Mittelpunkt der einzelnen Studie steht der funktional-kognitive Ansatz, der in der ungarischen Linguistik tief verwurzelt ist. Die Aufdeckung des Funktionierens der sogenannten "kleinen Sprachen" bietet eine unersch?pfliche Schatzkammer f?r die Forschung. Der Aufbau einer nicht indo-europ?ischen Sprache sichert einen ?usseren Beobachtungspunkt, von dem sich das dynamische Zusammenspiel von Funktion und Struktur unbefangen beschreiben l?sst. Die auf den Grundlagen der Konferenzvortr?ge basierenden Aufs?tze werden mit weiteren, themenspezifischen Studien von Experten dieses Gebietes erg?nzt.
