Описание: American Odysseys is an anthology of twenty-two novelists, poets, and short-story writers drawn from the shortlist for the 2011 Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Literature. Including Ethiopian-born Dinaw Mengestu, the recipient of the Prize; Yugoslavian-born Tea Obreht, the youngest author to receive the Orange Prize in Fiction; and Chinese-born Yiyun Li, a MacArthur Genius grantee, what these authors all have in common and share with US Poet Laureate Charles Simic, who has contributed a foreword is that they are immigrants to the United States, now excelling in their fields and dictating the terms by which future American writing will be judged by the world. Running the gamut from desperate realism to whimsical fantasy from Miho Nonaka s poetry, inspired by fourteenth-century Noh theater, to Ismet Prcic s wrenching stories set in the aftermath of the Bosnian war American Odysseys is proof, if any be needed, that the heterogeneity of American society is its greatest asset."

The Book of Ruth is one of the greatest short stories ever written, and it is one of the most beautiful as well. It is quite simple in structure, but it is written in a most appealing manner. The story is set in the ancient time of the Judges and involves a group of individuals who are destined to share an integral role in the ancestry of King David. The principal character in the book is a Moabite woman named Ruth. The hero of the story is Boaz. The son of Boaz and Ruth becomes the grandfather of King David.The story is a compelling development and blending of history, religious tradition, mystery and romance. It is significant that concepts, principles and facts presented in the book have relevance for the exercise of religious faith in our time. This is especially true of the Christian faith.
Автор: James O`Neill, Charles Royster Название: Garrison Tales from Tonquin: An American`s Stories of the French Foreign Legion in Vietnam in the 1890s ISBN: 0807171751 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780807171752 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 25080.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The thought of enlisting in the French Foreign Legion held a tantalizing allure for young nineteenth-century American boys in search of adventure. Born in Bridgeport, Connecticut, James O'Neill enlisted in the legion in 1887, at the age of twenty-seven. In 1890, deployed to Tonquin in French Indochina (more familiar today as Tonkin, Vietnam), O'Neill faced tropical heat, infectious disease, and sudden death. Like his contemporary Stephen Crane, O'Neill's ability to recount an engaging story and his keen sense for telling details provide a unique record of his time in this exotic world. In these thirteen ""tales,"" O'Neill shows—with surprising subtlety—that France's efforts to conquer and govern Indochina were foolhardy. Although the only American in his stories is the narrator, it is clear the tales are aimed at readers in the United States and intended to caution against the construction of empires abroad. Far from polemical tirades, these absorbing, unadorned stories read as remarkably contemporary in both style and substance. Historian Charles Royster provides a short biography of O'Neill and the text of two long-forgotten essays O'Neill published in magazines of the time, one a description of a Buddhist temple in Hanoi and the other an appreciation of the Hungarian novelist Maurus Jókai. Whether read for historical value, literary merit, or political insights, Garrison Tales from Tonquin is a true discovery.
