Angel of Oblivion
Author: Maja Haderlap
Publisher: Archipelago
ISBN: 0914671472
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Haderlap is an accomplished poet, and that lyricism leaves clear traces on this ravishing debut, which won the prestigious Bachmann Prize in 2011. The descriptions are sensual, and the unusual similes and metaphors occasionally change perspective unexpectedly. Angel of Oblivion deals with harrowing subjects - murder, torture, persecution and discrimination of an ethnic minority - in intricate and lyrical prose. The novel tells the story of a family from the Slovenian minority in Austria. The first-person narrator starts off with her childhood memories of rural life, in a community anchored in the past. Yet behind this rural idyll, an unresolved conflict is smouldering. At first, the child wonders about the border to Yugoslavia, which runs not far away from her home. Then gradually the stories that the adults tell at every opportunity start to make sense. All the locals are scarred by the war. Her grandfather, we find out, was a partisan fighting the Nazis from forest hideouts. Her grandmother was arrested and survived Ravensbrück. As the narrator grows older, she finds out more. Through conversations at family gatherings and long nights talking to her grandmother, she learns that her father was arrested by the Austrian police and tortured - at the age of ten - to extract information on the whereabouts of his father. Her grandmother lost her foster-daughter and many friends and relatives in Ravensbrück and only escaped the gas chamber by hiding inside the camp itself. The narrator begins to notice the frequent suicides and violent deaths in her home region, and she develops an eye for how the Slovenians are treated by the majority of German-speaking Austrians. As an adult, the narrator becomes politicised and openly criticises the way in which Austria deals with the war and its own Nazi past. In the closing section, she visits Ravensbrück and finds it strangely lifeless - realising that her personal memories of her grandmother are stronger. Illuminating an almost forgotten chapter of European history and the European present, the book deals with family dynamics scarred by war and torture - a dominant grandmother, a long-suffering mother, a violent father who loves his children but is impossible to live with. And interwoven with this is compelling reflection on storytelling: the narrator hoping to rid herself of the emotional burden of her past and to tell stories on behalf of those who cannot.

Astrology
Author: Hans Holzer
Publisher: Crossroad Press
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
(Originally published in 1975) What is astrology really: science, art, craft—or fraud? In a work of extraordinary range, an informed observer, Hans Holzer, has attempted to evaluate astrology's contribution to our lives. In the last decade, astrology has moved from a casual topic of conversation at cocktail parties to a major subject for serious discussion and academic inquiry. It has become, at its best, an important facet of human expression in the everyday life of millions and, at its worst, a vehicle for cold-blooded commercial exploitation. Astrology: What It Can Do for You includes: * interviews with a score of nationally known cosmic, mathematic, commercial, and esoteric astrologers * Gar Osten's remarkable chart of the United States, a sobering and challenging document that predicts the country's course through the year 2136 A.D. Soon to come: a thirty-year "period of trial," with the possibility of a major war or the beginning of the land breakup, * a list of simplified, easily understood astrological terms * a discussion of the possible influences of cosmic radiation on our lives * a realistic look at newspaper astrology columns * new, at-a-glance astrological charts showing the chief characteristics of the twelve birth signs of the zodiac and estimating their chances of getting along with each other While warning against excessive reliance on astrology, the author nevertheless sees it as a helpful tool in mapping the road ahead. And he tries to bring together the polarized camps of doubters and enthusiasts in a common quest: to grasp the nature of both the external and the internal universe.

Beyond the Good Death
Author: James W. Green
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 0812202074
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
In November 1998, millions of television viewers watched as Thomas Youk died. Suffering from the late stages of Lou Gehrig's disease, Youk had called upon infamous Michigan pathologist Dr. Jack Kevorkian to help end his life on his own terms. After delivering the videotape to 60 Minutes, Kevorkian was arrested and convicted of manslaughter, despite the fact that Youk's family firmly believed that the ending of his life qualified as a good death. Death is political, as the controversies surrounding Jack Kevorkian and, more recently, Terri Schiavo have shown. While death is a natural event, modern end-of-life experiences are shaped by new medical, demographic, and cultural trends. People who are dying are kept alive, sometimes against their will or the will of their family, with powerful medications, machines, and "heroic measures." Current research on end-of-life issues is substantial, involving many fields. Beyond the Good Death takes an anthropological approach, examining the changes in our concept of death over the last several decades. As author James W. Green determines, the attitudes of today's baby boomers differ greatly from those of their parents and grandparents, who spoke politely and in hushed voices of those who had "passed away." Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, in the 1960s, gave the public a new language for speaking openly about death with her "five steps of dying." If we talked more about death, she emphasized, it would become less fearful for everyone. The term "good death" reentered the public consciousness as narratives of AIDS, cancer, and other chronic diseases were featured on talk shows and in popular books such as the best-selling Tuesdays with Morrie. Green looks at a number of contemporary secular American death practices that are still informed by an ancient religious ethos. Most important, Beyond the Good Death provides an interpretation of the ways in which Americans react when death is at hand for themselves or for those they care about.
