Locked Door and Other Stories
Author: Rosario de Guzman Lingat
Publisher: Bughaw is
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
The Locked Door and Other Stories collects Rosario de Guzman-Lingat's short stories chosen for the various ways they explore the female experience in all its complexity. They feature women as protagonists who, despite life's numerous blows, refuse to give in, as they strive mightily to make sense of their lives fraught with difficulties. There are no happy endings in Lingat's fiction. There is only a steadfast, clear-eyed view of what it means to live in an unjust system where women find themselves victims. The "locked door" is symptomatic of the almost impenetrable barrier that women must force open to gain their freedom.

Pages : 158
Book Description
When a door is bolted shut, it is locked to either keep someone else out or to keep someone in. It is a door that represents secrets, shame, guilt, lies, cover-ups, and devastation. The longer we don't face what is behind the door, the longer it owns us through fear and shame. Together, let's unbolt some old corroded doors in our lives and find the freedom on the other side. My book is perfect for anyone who has ever felt silenced by their shame, and ridden with guilt that was never theirs to carry. Beginnings and endings are the bookends to every life story. And the journey itself IS the chapters in between. We ALL have a story to tell. No one should ever carry the weight of a secret burden that crushes their soul and cripples their journey. No one should ever feel their story is not worth telling or not worth hearing. If you need some hope; if you need to be reminded of your worth and value; if you need YOUR story to also be heard, then this book is for you. I wrote it for me/ for you and for ALL of us that have ever felt shut out and shut down. There IS hope beyond the bolted doors in our lives.

Red Cavalry and Other Stories
Author: Isaac Babel
Publisher: Penguin UK

Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
Throughout his life Isaac Babel was torn by opposing forces, by the desire both to remain faithful to his Jewish roots and yet to be free of them. This duality of vision infuses his work with a powerful energy from the earliest tales including 'Old Shloyme' and 'Childhood', which affirm his Russian-Jewish childhood, to the relatively non-Jewish world of his collection of stories entitled 'Red Cavalry'. Babel's masterpiece, 'Red Cavalry' is the most dramatic expression of his dualism and in his simultaneous acceptance and rejection of his heritage heralds the great American-Jewish writers from Henry Roth to Saul Bellow and Philip Roth.
