Oreo
Author: Fran Ross
Publisher: New Directions Publishing
ISBN: 081122323X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
A pioneering, dazzling satire about a biracial black girl from Philadelphia searching for her Jewish father in New York City Oreo is raised by her maternal grandparents in Philadelphia. Her black mother tours with a theatrical troupe, and her Jewish deadbeat dad disappeared when she was an infant, leaving behind a mysterious note that triggers her quest to find him. What ensues is a playful, modernized parody of the classical odyssey of Theseus with a feminist twist, immersed in seventies pop culture, and mixing standard English, black vernacular, and Yiddish with wisecracking aplomb. Oreo, our young hero, navigates the labyrinth of sound studios and brothels and subway tunnels in Manhattan, seeking to claim her birthright while unwittingly experiencing and triggering a mythic journey of self-discovery like no other.

Bohemian Legends and Other Poems (Classic Reprint)

Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
Excerpt from Bohemian Legends and Other Poems Tion, that history and heroism have furnished few sub jects for the Bohemian national songs, and, he says, is the more remarkable when they are compared or con trasted with those of other Slavonian races, especially the Servian and the Russian. But how should such songs exist - or rather if they ever existed, how should they be long preserved in a state of society where no man dares to be a Bohemian? That freedom of thought and expression which opens to the poet the great expanse of space and time - the whole field of the past and the future - which allows him to revel in all that is delight ful in recollection, and in all that is beautiful in anticipation - is denied to the minstrel of Bohemia. He may neither record the struggles of his ancestors for liberty, nor dream of the day when self-government shall give to his country whatever of happiness she is capable of enjoying. Love, of all the passions which he is permitted to sing, is that which allows the widest scope to his imagination - and love is the ever-ruling subject of his verse. And surely their popular poets have treated this subject with exquisite tenderness and effect. These are the opinions and words of two Englishmen, who trod before me thethorny path of Bohemian literature. Had their works been published in Austria, the same fate that met my book, Bohemian Legends and Ballads, would have met them. They would have been confiscated. Dr. John Bowring, speak ing of poor Hanka, says: It is to be hoped that no impediment will be thrown in his way, which one cannot but fear, from the arbitrary suppression of the fifth volume of his collection. It is not much to allow, that those who have no hope of the future may be permitted to indulge in the memories of the past. This sin I committed, and so my poor.

Author: Paul F. Bandia
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040045251
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Translation Classics in Context carefully considers the relationship between translation and the classics. It presents readers with revelatory and insightful case studies that investigate translations produced as part of nexuses of colonial resistance and liberation across Africa and in Ireland; translations of novels and folklore collections that influence not just other fictions, but stage productions and entire historical disciplines; struggles over Ukrainian and Russian literature and how it is shaped and transferred; and the role of the academy and the curriculum in creating notions of classic translations. Along the way it covers oral poetry, saints, scholars, Walter Scott and Jules Verne, not to mention Leo Tolstoy and the Corpse Bride making her way from folklore to Frankenstein and into the world of Disney animation. Contributors are all leading scholars, and the book is accessible and engaging, assuming no specialist knowledge.
