Описание: Memories Are Made of These... is an autobiographical account by Jack Dawes of his boyhood and his formative years as a young adult. Growing up in the sixties and early seventies, this really is another country, particularly the account of his schooldays which will have the reader rolling about with mirth. It's hard to imagine these types of antics taking place in the politically correct schoolroom of today. The author chronicles his schooldays, his time at College, a particularly funny episode spent working for the Tax Inspectorate followed by his first foray into life as a secondary school teacher in Liverpool. Each chapter is so redolent of the time, a blissful pre internet age when human relationships and interactions were all. More than a little nostalgic but without any element of rose tint, this charming account is evocative and funny and really does capture the essence of a bygone time. The reader will definitely be looking for the sequel.
This is the limited hardcover anthology edition of New Generation African Poets: A Chapbook Box Set (SABA)
Praise for the chapbook series: "Dawes and Abani have taken on the vital project of publishing short collections by contemporary poets from Africa, packaged together in beautiful boxed sets." --New York Times Magazine "An ambitious, vital project that delivers exactly what it promises...As a group, the chapbooks dispel stereotypes about African writing. They also illustrate what editors Dawes and Abani note about the many ways poets can understand or redefine their ties to Africa. These insights are poignant and valuable, especially at a time when millions around the globe find themselves somewhere between new countries and ancestral lands they've left behind." --Washington Post "A collection pulsing with fresh talent in a series that poetry lovers worldwide should be grateful for." --Shelf Awareness The limited-edition box set is a project started in 2014 to ensure the publication of up to a dozen chapbooks every year by African poets through Akashic Books. The series seeks to identify the best poetry written by African poets working today, and it is especially interested in featuring poets who have not yet published their first full-length book of poetry. The eleven poets included in this box set are: Michelle Angwenyi, Afua Ansong, Adedayo Agarau, Fatima Camara, Sadia Hassan, Safia Jama, Henneh Kyereh Kwaku, Nadra Mabrouk, Nkateko Masinga, Jamila Osman, and Tryphena Yeboah.
Behind all descriptions of historical events are the stories of real people. This is the extraordinary true story of a citizen soldier and the girl he loves, as both become embroiled in the cauldron of our nation's Civil War.
Rufus R Dawes will emerge from a troubled family background to become an officer in a famous unit thrust into horrific battles in the eastern theater. But before those stirring war scenes, there is the early life of a proud and intelligent descendant of leading Revolutionary War figures, ancestors who helped form the United States, the Northwest Territory, and the state of Ohio.
Rufus will meet beautiful and vibrant Mary Beman Gates and fall in love. But there is separation due to distance and social standing, apparently little reciprocal feeling, and competition by others better situated than he. Can it ever become more than infatuation? The outbreak of war intervenes. Faced with the doubt of his own survival, is it possible to fulfill any dream of a life with Mary?
Mary is a girl with a loving family who becomes a young woman while witnessing many acquaintances and suitors, along with an only brother, march off to war. Tragic battle losses soon mount. Will she--should she--become involved with a soldier whose life is in daily jeopardy far away?
The drama unfolds upon Rufus and Mary, and upon family members and soldiers who experience their own battles, trying to survive while patriotically performing their duty to the nation. Based on many letters and diary entries, most never published, this is a timeless story of love and courage.

Описание: In this new masterpiece of social history, a young girl's autograph album of the late 1880s is reproduced in facsimile, with meticulously researched biographies of everyone who signed it. Like many middle-class Boston girls of the late nineteenth century, Annie McFarlane kept an autograph album, in which her schoolmates, family, and neighbors wrote messages of friendship and scraps of sentimental verse. This keepsake, with its stamped and colored binding, was passed down through McFarlane's family to her great-grandson, the independent scholar Theodore Dawes. Fascinated by the faded inscriptions in so many varied hands--from the spiky script of Andrew McFarlane ("Father") to the labored cursive of young Flossie L. Law--Dawes undertook an arduous course of archival research aimed at uncovering the identity and biographical details of everyone who signed the album. The result is this book, in which each page of Annie McFarlane's autograph album is reproduced in facsimile, along with the biography of the person who signed it. Together these brief yet telling portraits reveal the texture of life in Boston circa 1890, as well as in Vanceboro, Maine, where the McFarlanes had a summer home. United in the leaves of Annie's album are the McFarlanes themselves, a family of Irish and Scottish extraction who achieved a modest prosperity in the linen trade; the Rothenbergs, owners of the legendary Boston department store of that name; the Kellys, stolid Maine farmers; and many others from every walk of life. Particularly striking are the voices of those too frequently omitted from our historical narratives: servants, laborers, and, of course, children. Autograph Album is a landmark in the social history of New England. For the specialist, it will shed light on questions of class, ethnicity, gender, and popular literacy; for the general reader, it is a rich and poignant reminder of the worlds that lie hidden in a family heirloom. Publisher's note: The above description was written before the author submitted his final manuscript. We are publishing this book only to fulfill the terms of our contract with its financial sponsor, the New American Society for Historical Research.

This collection aims to restore conservatism as it existed before the Cold War - that is, before traditionalists entered into a disastrous alliance with classical liberals and libertarians; before those with a humble appreciation for society got mixed up with ideology.
Timely perspectives on the present crisis draw from the timeless wisdom of the Western canon. The authors decry radical individualism in favour of strong communities.
Автор: Kwame Dawes Название: Nebraska: Poems ISBN: 1496221230 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781496221230 Издательство: Wiley EDC Рейтинг: Цена: 18290.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Kwame Dawes is not a native Nebraskan. Born in Ghana, he later moved to Jamaica, where he spent most of his childhood and early adulthood. In 1992 he relocated to the United States and eventually found himself an American living in Lincoln, Nebraska.
In Nebraska, this beautiful and evocative collection of poems, Dawes explores a theme constant in his work—the intersection of memory, home, and artistic invention. The poems, set against the backdrop of Nebraska’s discrete cycle of seasons, are meditative even as they search for a sense of place in a new landscape. While he shovels snow or walks in the bitter cold to his car, he is engulfed with memories of Kingston, yet when he travels, he finds himself longing for the open space of the plains and the first snowfall. With a strong sense of place and haunting memories, Dawes grapples with life in Nebraska as a transplant.
