Описание:

Updike is Adam Begley's masterful, much-anticipated biography of one of the most celebrated figures in American literature: Pulitzer Prize-winning author John Updike--a candid, intimate, and richly detailed look at his life and work.

In this magisterial biography, Adam Begley offers an illuminating portrait of John Updike, the acclaimed novelist, poet, short-story writer, and critic who saw himself as a literary spy in small-town and suburban America, who dedicated himself to the task of transcribing "middleness with all its grits, bumps and anonymities."

Updike explores the stages of the writer's pilgrim's progress: his beloved home turf of Berks County, Pennsylvania; his escape to Harvard; his brief, busy working life as the golden boy at The New Yorker; his family years in suburban Ipswich, Massachusetts; his extensive travel abroad; and his retreat to another Massachusetts town, Beverly Farms, where he remained until his death in 2009. Drawing from in-depth research as well as interviews with the writer's colleagues, friends, and family, Begley explores how Updike's fiction was shaped by his tumultuous personal life--including his enduring religious faith, his two marriages, and his first-hand experience of the "adulterous society" he was credited with exposing in the bestselling Couples.

With a sharp critical sensibility that lends depth and originality to his analysis, Begley probes Updike's best-loved works--from Pigeon Feathers to The Witches of Eastwick to the Rabbit tetralogy--and reveals a surprising and deeply complex character fraught with contradictions: a kind man with a vicious wit, a gregarious charmer who was ruthlessly competitive, a private person compelled to spill his secrets on the printed page. Updike offers an admiring yet balanced look at this national treasure, a master whose writing continues to resonate like no one else's.

Описание: An examination of the Conservative Party`s period in opposition between 1974 and 1979, focusing on policy development, which argues that the short term political context of the time best explains why Conservative policy did not change as much as might be expected, and draws wider conclusions about Thatcherism and Britain in the 1970s. -- .

Why buy this book?

This charming & beautifully illustrated book is a useful reader for preteen social science discussions, where the key focus points in this book are bullying, friendship, and self-esteem.

The Main Story

This endearing book is excellent at outlining the importance of friendship and teaches young readers especially preteens to talk about their issues if they have been bullied. It also offers an opportunity to talk about when we could be bullies ourselves.

Flappy is a pigeon who is outcast after the group decides his flapping wings are an embarrassment to the community. Alone and despondent, he decides to do his best when he hears that the princess has been kidnapped by dragons. It is the very fact that his wings flap so loudly that frightens away the dragons and he can save the princess.

For his efforts, the King of the Claddagh awards him with a medal for bravery and he goes to live with his new friend. He realizes that the very reason everyone bullied him was in fact, the reason he became a hero.

The Premise of this Story

This book covers issues such as bullying, kindness, friendship as well as finding the strength within. The talking points at the end of the story help stimulate discussion around these topics. In addition, there are fun facts about pigeons to get detailed insights about the animals.
