The Untold Journey
Author: Natalie Robins
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231544014
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 482
Book Description
A biography of a famed 20th century, Jewish New York author and literary and social critic who struggled in the shadow of her husband. Diana Trilling’s life with Columbia University professor and literary critic Lionel Trilling was filled with secrets, struggles, and betrayals, and she endured what she called her “own private hell” as she fought to reconcile competing duties and impulses at home and at work. She was a feminist, yet she insisted that women’s liberation created unnecessary friction with men, asserting that her career ambitions should be on equal footing with caring for her child and supporting her husband. She fearlessly expressed sensitive, controversial, and moral views, and fought publicly with Lillian Hellman, among other celebrated writers and intellectuals, over politics. Diana Trilling was an anticommunist liberal, a position often misunderstood, especially by her literary and university friends. And finally, she was among the “New Journalists” who transformed writing and reporting in the 1960s, making her nonfiction as imaginative in style and scope as a novel. The first biographer to mine Diana Trilling’s extensive archives, Natalie Robins tells a previously undisclosed history of an essential member of New York City culture at a time of dynamic change and intellectual relevance. “Meticulously researched and documented, the biography is a detailed foray into the lives of a generation of writers and into the mind of literary critic, writer and intellectual Diana Trilling.”—Ms. “Robins does a solid job of rehabilitating a significant literary and cultural figure of the 20th century, a woman who spent much of her career in her husband’s shadow.”—Kirkus Reviews

Book Description
William J. Havlicek's new and revealing book is based largely on Vincent van Gogh?s astonishing letters of which over 900 exist. This important work?the result of over 15 years of research?provides new insight into the artist's true character nurtured from his abiding faith, the influence of family, and the tender solicitude he felt for mankind. The book also dispels much of the myth that has come to surround Vincent?s tumultuous life. In the words of the author, the book illuminates instead ?...an unknown, adventurous, deeply compassionate man whose essence seems to have been lost in the dramatic and often apocryphal stories surrounding his illness and early death. My effort is to resurrect an unknown aspect of Vincent?one that is even heroic and certainly praiseworthy...?.

The Journey

Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
For Antonatie Jemwa, The Journey, “...depicts the reality of events that each individual can relate to; it points out to positivity in the grand experience of life as it unfolds each chapter, just as each season, in a lifetime.” Informed by faith, the poems have a common theme of love, of how enhancing and revitalising it can be, and yet at the same time so fragile. Grouped under headings like ‘Family’, ‘Dreams’, ‘Character’ and ‘Gone’, Jemwa shines a light on our interactions with the world, both metaphysical and real, which make The Journey a lottery that perhaps can only find an understanding through faith. The Journey is a meditation, a sensitive look at our condition through the instrument of poetry.

Book Description
The author has arranged this book in such a way as to divide it into categories so that the readers will get the maximum benefit and experience of it. First, the enormous grief and pain during times of betrayal, divorce, and broken homes that affect all members of the family. This first part of grief highly focuses on relationships where there is dysfunction and abuse and, overall, love that has been lost. Volume 2 will focus on issues of struggle with time and with money, issues that we face in this life such as death, the overall character of the man, his body, his talents, his gifts, and where Jesus comes in to place in his life. Issues of morality, the world, and justice are also touched upon. Heroes and the thirst for righteousness as well as overall prayers and supplications to the Almighty will be addressed in the second volume. There will also be prayers and short poems that are brief but, in their brevity, stress a main point. Finally, in the third volume of the book will be a collection and compilation of current events and all-time favorites of the poet’s choosing, representing the mastery, skill, and talent that has been bestowed on the writer. One’s senses will be heightened and enlightened with effortless enjoyment experienced by the readers. It is highly advised that the readers purchase all three volumes to get the maximum effect of the whole process so they can better relate to each poem. The readers will be taken upon a journey first of betrayal, lost love, sorrow, and death, and in a sense, dying of oneself. The next volume will focus on encouragement and prayers, even though some do not understand why they are going on their specific journey. The grace in volume 2 cannot be denied and can only be dealt once the grief is experienced. It is so blatant that it seems to jump off the pages with healing power. And finally, volume 3 is the pinnacle of God’s glory demonstrated by a compilation of all-time favorites chosen by the poet herself as well as all the troubling current events that are occurring in the world at this time. It is the author’s desire that the persons reading this compilation of poems focus on all the volumes because each has immense beauty and meaning. It is for this reason that it would be her honor and desire that you purchase all three to get the maximum benefit of the process, keeping the end result in mind.

The Long Journey Home

Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
The Long Journey Home is the story of how a diverse group of post-millennial students rediscovered their local history and truly understood the cost of war. They went beyond the leaning objectives and developed relationships with the mothers and fathers, aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters, and friends of twenty-five fallen soldiers. Black and white, single and married, these soldiers were farm boys, construction workers, mechanics, bus boys, college students, and business managers who deployed to the jungles of Southeast Asia never to return. Like other teenagers of their time, these soldiers enjoyed hunting, fishing, singing, surfing, baseball, ham radios, and riding motorcycles. The Long Journey Home is the story of tears and sadness, patriotism and sacrifice, heroism and comradery. The high school students who engaged in this project will never be the same. Interacting with the Gold Star families forever sculpted them emotionally and intellectually. May we always remember that sacrifice without remembrance is meaningless!

The Lusiads
Author: Luis Vaz de Camões
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0141962461
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
First published in 1572, The Lusiads is one of the greatest epic poems of the Renaissance, immortalizing Portugal's voyages of discovery with an unrivalled freshness of observation. At the centre of The Lusiads is Vasco da Gama's pioneer voyage via southern Africa to India in 1497-98. The first European artist to cross the equator, Camoes's narrative reflects the novelty and fascination of that original encounter with Africa, India and the Far East. The poem's twin symbols are the Cross and the Astrolabe, and its celebration of a turning point in mankind's knowledge of the world unites the old map of the heavens with the newly discovered terrain on earth. Yet it speaks powerfully, too, of the precariousness of power, and of the rise and decline of nationhood, threatened not only from without by enemies, but from within by loss of integrity and vision.
