How have the great inventions of history shaped their lives? How do the ideas they hold dear dictate the world they live in?

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 69
Book Description
I will love your soul in every body In the olden days it was a custom to never say her name, to never even mention her existence in any way. Because whenever someone did, great misfortunes would plague the land and its people. There was one person who said her name without fear, without anger, without disgust. Will that person stay by her side, or will she leave her like many others have? Even if her name was never to be spoken again and her tales never to be told, she would still prevail the test of time. For the one who will still be here when we are all gone and forgotten, is Venida Osmund, and this is her one true tale.

Narratives of Nothing in 20th-Century Literature
Author: Meghan Vicks
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1501331965
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
The concept of nothing was an enduring concern of the 20th century. As Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre each positioned nothing as inseparable from the human condition and essential to the creation or operation of human existence, as Jacques Derrida demonstrated how all structures are built upon a nothing within the structure, and as mathematicians argued that zero ? the number that is also not a number ? allows for the creation of our modern mathematical system, Narratives of Nothing in 20th-Century Literature suggests that nothing itself enables the act of narration. Focusing on the literary works of Vladimir Nabokov, Samuel Beckett, and Victor Pelevin, Meghan Vicks traces how and why these writers give narrative form to nothing, demonstrating that nothing is essential to the creation of narrative ? that is, how our perceptions are conditioned, how we make meaning (or madness) out of the stuff of our existence, how we craft our knowable selves, and how we exist in language.
