Book Description
After years of absence, Pedrinho de Oliveira, the character "Pedrinho" from Monteiro Lobato's stories, was surprised by an unexpected invitation that took him back to the farm, causing him to revisit his memories and face the truth that had long been hidden. Now an adult, he could walk around the place recounting his childhood adventures. Despite the pain, he would face his fears and memories, which for years deceived him with distorted memories. The truth surrounding the farm is darker than he remembered, with negative forces and the melancholy of a true "study in yellow." -- The book "A Study in Yellow" is an extension of the original text "Saci," providing a reinterpretation of the events of that night of terror. The notes and memories reveal that Saci was truly a dangerous creature, Cuca was a woman expelled from the community for a scaly skin disease, Narizinho's depression was real, and Grandma Anastácia was wasting away with Alzheimer's. Discover the truth behind Tio Barnabé and the creatures that inhabited the children's imagination in that terrifying forest. -- "A Study in Yellow" is an escape from the atmosphere of playfulness, leaving in its place a deep and dark drama.

The Yellow Book

ISBN: 9781948587150
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
Literary Nonfiction. Asian & Asian American Studies. THE YELLOW BOOK, a cross-genre meditation on what it means to be Korean/American and write, begins with a moment of doubt, in which the speaker, forced into speech by his interlocutor, is no longer sure he is who he is: You sure you're not Jackie Chan? [...] Honestly, I say, I don't even know. The speaker opts for camouflage, transformation, and evasion. The book, similarly, aims to elude identification, to contradict itself. It moves broken-tongued, between memoir and essay and poem, between body and footnote, between Korean memory and English utterance, between remembrance and forgetfulness, between history and fiction. Populated by a varied cast of characters--a god, a bear, a tiger, Mr. Miyagi, Jack London, a fictionalized version of Civil War general Franz Sigel, and a non-fictitious chihuahua--THE YELLOW BOOK is a travelogue, a picaresque, a mythology, a catalog of grievances, an act of revenge, an apology, a joke book, a defiance, an obeisance, a performance, a slander, a love letter, a manifesto, a refutation.

The Yellow Demon of Fever
Author: Manuel Barcia
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300215851
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
A pathbreaking history of how participants in the slave trade influenced the growth and dissemination of medical knowledge As the slave trade brought Europeans, Africans, and Americans into contact, diseases were traded along with human lives. Manuel Barcia examines the battle waged against disease, where traders fought against loss of profits while enslaved Africans fought for survival. Although efforts to control disease and stop epidemics from spreading brought little success, the medical knowledge generated by people on both sides of the conflict contributed to momentous change in the medical cultures of the Atlantic world.

Art of the Yellow Springs
Author: Wu Hung
Publisher: Reaktion Books
ISBN: 1861897189
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
We might think the Egyptians were the masters of building tombs, but no other civilization has devoted more time and resources to underground burial structures than the Chinese. For at least five thousand years, from the fourth millennium B.C.E. to the early twentieth century, the Chinese have been building some of the world’s most elaborate tombs and furnishing them with exquisite objects. It is these objects and the concept of the tomb as a “treasure-trove” that The Art of the Yellow Springs seeks to critique, drawing on recent scholarship to examine memorial sites the way they were meant to be experienced: not as a mere store of individual works, but as a work of art itself. Wu Hung bolsters some of the new trends in Chinese art history that have been challenging the conventional ways of studying funerary art. Examining the interpretative methods themselves that guide the study of memorials, he argues that in order to understand Chinese tombs, one must not necessarily forget the individual works present in them—as the beautiful color plates here will prove—but consider them along with a host of other art-historical concepts. These include notions of visuality, viewership, space, analysis, function, and context. The result is a ground-breaking new assessment that demonstrates the amazing richness of one of the longest-running traditions in the whole of art history.
