The Laughing Matter
Author: William Saroyan
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1448214769
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
When Evan Nazarenus returns from a teaching post at the summer school in Nebraska, he cannot wait for a couple of blissful weeks spent with his wife and two children in Clovis, a small town where his brother has a summer house. But soon after they arrive for the long awaited holiday, Swan, Evan's wife, announces that she is expecting a child ... who is not fathered by Evan. This news shocks and hurts Evan deeply, but for his children's sake he decides to keep it to himself through the holidays they dreamt of for so long. But a family secret of such calibre is difficult to hide and the curious small-town neighbours begin to notice that something is amiss with the couple. The Laughing Matter, first published in 1953, is a disturbing family drama set against the landscape of a small Californian town, with a close-knit community who embrace new-comers with the curiosity of those hungry for gossip. William Saroyan draws his characters with immense sensitivity for human erring and self-inflicted suffering.

The Life of Sir Ernest Shackleton
Author: Hugh Robert Mill
Publisher: Read Books Ltd
ISBN: 1473386918
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
Hugh Robert Mill's tells the Exceptional life story of Sir. Ernest Shackleton. There are no simple words to describe Sir. Ernest Shackleton. He was a man with a unique, extraordinarily unique mind, to be able to lead his men in one of the most dismal situations ever. A situation that would have been easiest to buckle to self defeat and surrender; but he was a man that didn't believe in giving up. Shackleton and his men made it because he believed in them and they believed in him.

Rembrandt Studies
Author: Julius Samuel Held
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780691040776
Category : Painters
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
This richly illustrated collection of essays represents the fruit of a life-long occupation with Rembrandt on the part of one of the foremost authorities on Dutch and Flemish art. Concentrating on either a single painting or an iconographically related group of paintings, Julius S. Held examines the processes, some perhaps even unconscious, that underlie Rembrandt's highly personal works. To his previously published essays--"Aristotle," "The "Polish' Rider," "Juno," "Rembrandt and the Book of Tobit," and "Rembrandt: Truth and Legend"--the author adds an essay on the theme of the Beggar, another one on subjects involving words spoken, and a new introduction discussing some current trends in Rembrandt criticism. From reviews of the previous edition: "There is a freshness of approach in Professor Held's writing, and his concern with interpretation rather than connoisseurship succeeds in stimulating the reader to think about the paintings, however familiar they may be to us." --Christopher White, Apollo "To look at [these paintings] under Held's very expert guidance is to penetrate more deeply into the problems of Rembrandt's oeuvre than if we plough through the bulkier monographs." --E. H. Gombrich, The New York Review of Books
