Book Description
This extraordinary novel is part of Grigory Kanovich’s “Litvak saga,” his tribute to Jewish life before the Holocaust. Set in a small Lithuanian town in the late nineteenth century, the story begins with the arrival of a stranger who sets everyone on edge and seems to know their secrets. Is he a messenger from God, a long-lost son, a saint, or a madman? As the stranger in the velvet yarmulke makes his rounds, we meet an unforgettable cast of characters—Rabbi Uri, the aged rabbi; Itsik Magid, the strapping young woodcutter; Golda, the resourceful widow; Markus Fradkin, the wealthy timber merchant, and his beautiful daughter Zelda; Yeshua Mandel, the tavern keeper, his troubled son Simeon, and Morta, their devoted servant girl. A work of realism as well as a parable, Kanovich’s novel illuminates the most intimate fears, dreams, and longings of the shtetl’s inhabitants.

The Fools of Shakespeare

Category : Fools and jesters in literature

Pages : 280
Book Description
I have found occasion in several instances, to differ with some of the well known Shakespearean scholars; but it must always be remembered that I speak from the viewpoint of the actor, for whom, and for whom alone the plays were written. I have not entered the literary dissecting room, nor invaded the realm of psychology. The line of demarcation between humor and imbecility, folly and insanity, I leave to the professional alienist. I have taken the characters as they appear in the plays and as I conceive the author intended them, with due reference to their relation to the other characters. - Preface.

Pages : 245
Book Description
A toast to curly fries, hot dogs, and hard-shell tacos, Aimee Macpherson’s guide to the bars and restaurants of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul celebrates the critically acclaimed shows’ fusion of Albuquerque’s real and imagined food and drink. The restaurants and bars featured in Macpherson’s compendium show us glimpses of Walter White’s and Jimmy McGill’s Albuquerque. From the Dog House to Savoy Bar and Grill, from Tuco’s Hideout to Los Pollos Hermanos and every pit stop in between, Macpherson takes us on a tour of the Duke City’s dreamscape of edible artifacts, connecting us to the on-screen heroes and villains we love and admire. Show by show, season by season, Macpherson reveals how restaurants and bars undergo hours of painstaking transformations before appearing on the small screen. Colorful photography and descriptions of the food and drink accompany Macpherson’s insider show analysis.
