Book Description
Robert Pippin presents here the first detailed interpretation of J.M. Coetzee's "Jesus" trilogy as a whole. Pippin treats the three fictions as a philosophical fable. Everyone in the mythical land explored by Coetzee is an exile, removed from their homeland and transported to a strange new place. While discussing the social and psychological dimensions of the fable, Pippin also treats the literary aspects of the fictions as philosophical explorations of theimplications of a deeper kind of homelessness--a version that characterizes late modern life itself--and he treats the theme of forgetting as a figure for modern historical amnesia and indifference to reflection and self-knowledge.

Book Description
English by the by Nature Method. The aim of the natural approach is to develop communicative skills, and it is primarily intended to be used with beginning learners.It is presented as a set of principles that can apply to a wide range of learners and teaching situations, and concrete objectives depend on the specific context in which it is used.Terrell outlines three basic principles of the approach: "Focus of instruction is on communication rather than its form." "Speech production comes slowly and is never forced." "Early speech goes through natural stages (yes or no response, one- word answers, lists of words, short phrases, complete sentences.)"These principles result in classrooms where the teacher emphasizes interesting, comprehensible input and low-anxiety situations.

Book Description
An enchanting literary debut—already an international best-seller. At the height of Mao’s infamous Cultural Revolution, two boys are among hundreds of thousands exiled to the countryside for “re-education.” The narrator and his best friend, Luo, guilty of being the sons of doctors, find themselves in a remote village where, among the peasants of Phoenix mountain, they are made to cart buckets of excrement up and down precipitous winding paths. Their meager distractions include a violin—as well as, before long, the beautiful daughter of the local tailor. But it is when the two discover a hidden stash of Western classics in Chinese translation that their re-education takes its most surprising turn. While ingeniously concealing their forbidden treasure, the boys find transit to worlds they had thought lost forever. And after listening to their dangerously seductive retellings of Balzac, even the Little Seamstress will be forever transformed. From within the hopelessness and terror of one of the darkest passages in human history, Dai Sijie has fashioned a beguiling and unexpected story about the resilience of the human spirit, the wonder of romantic awakening and the magical power of storytelling.

Book Description
This annotated bibliography on the relations of literature and science is offered as a resource tool for literary scholars, historians of science, and historians of ideas who are working in this field, which has had a distinct identity in literary scholarship for over fifty years. This volume is organized to move from the general to the particular; that is, from studies of the general relations between literature and science to studies of their relations during the various historical periods from classical antiquity to the present. Each period is divided into general studies and surveys and studies of individual authors.
