Uncle Jim: 101 Selected
Author: Caldwell Davis
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1462872239
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
Uncle Jim is a composite character based on people, their personalities, actions, and adventures in Wayne County, Tennessee, especially in the town of Clifton. I mainly knew these people during my childhood or when I was a young adult. Most of the Uncle Jim stories have some semblance of truth, some more than others, of course, but very few of the stories are totally fictional. If asked what these stories are about, I would mention the love of the outdoors as shown by Corey Ford, the feeling of being lost as reflected in the Nick Adams stories by Ernest Hemingway, and the ironic humor found in the writings of Mark Twain and O. Henry. But, as the reader will discover, regardless of the influences, Uncle Jim is his own man. These stories were originally published in the WAYNE COUNTY NEWS and CLIFTON LEDGER (defunct since 1980). A special “thank you” is extended to the Gillham Foundation.

Publisher:
ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
Ichabod Crane is the teacher of the community of Tarrytown, in Sleepy Hollow (literally "Hollow of Dream"), a valley on the banks of the Hudson. His antagonist is Bran Bones, a big rude man, who is also his rival in love with Katrina Van Tassel, the only daughter of a wealthy landowner. Ichabod believes he will achieve glory the day that Van Tassel invites him to a party in his "castle" ... but what he does not know is that what awaits him there is damnation, because in the enchanted forests of the "region of the Slumber "wanders the specter of the Headless Horseman," a Hessian cavalryman beheaded by a cannonball in some nameless battle of the Revolutionary War "and Ichabold will have an encounter with him that will change his fate. The classic Arthur Rackham illustrations that accompany this edition brilliantly evoke its charm, mystery and irony and were largely the visual inspiration for Tim Burton's 1999 film adaptation.

Haunting History
Author: Ethan Kleinberg
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 1503603423
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
This book argues for a deconstructive approach to the practice and writing of history at a moment when available forms for writing and publishing history are undergoing radical transformation. To do so, it explores the legacy and impact of deconstruction on American historical work; the current fetishization of lived experience, materialism, and the "real;" new trends in philosophy of history; and the persistence of ontological realism as the dominant mode of thought for conventional historians. Arguing that this ontological realist mode of thinking is reinforced by current analog publishing practices, Ethan Kleinberg advocates for a hauntological approach to history that follows the work of Jacques Derrida and embraces a past that is at once present and absent, available and restricted, rather than a fixed and static snapshot of a moment in time. This polysemic understanding of the past as multiple and conflicting, he maintains, is what makes the deconstructive approach to the past particularly well suited to new digital forms of historical writing and presentation.
