ISBN: 1630044393
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
Willi, a young Swiss geologist, and his wife Leny went to Indonesia in 1938. They lived on the tropical island of Borneo, learned the native language, and soon adjusted to their new exotic surroundings. In December 1941 the war broke out. They fled to the mountains of Java, but the Japanese invaded the island. The young family was unable to return to their homeland; they were stuck in the middle of a terrible war. A year later they moved to Bandung where Willi worked at the museum. The Japanese constantly watched them and reminded the Swiss that friends of the enemy were Japan’s enemy. Food was running out; each day was a struggle. Finally, at the end of 1945, about three months after the war ended, they were able to leave on a British battleship and return to Europe. After recuperating for several months they returned to Borneo for three more years.

The Evening News
Author: Tony Ardizzone
Publisher: University of Georgia Press
ISBN: 0820345709
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
Tony Ardizzone writes of the moments in our lives that shine, that burn in the dim expanse of memory with the intensity and vivid light of the evening news. The men and women in these stories tend to arrange their days, order their pasts, plan their futures in the light of such moments, finding epiphanies in the glowing memory of a father’s laugh or a mother’s repeated story, in a broken date or a rained-out ball game. Set mostly in Chicago’s blue-collar neighborhoods, these stories focus on subjects that concern us all: disease and death, vandalism and sacrilege, rape and infidelity, lost love. The husband and wife in the title story look at their pasts—his as an activist in the sixties and hers as a believer in reincarnation and the tarot—in light of the news stories they watch on television each evening and question whether they should bring a child into the world. And in “The Walk-On,” a bartender and former varsity pitcher for the University of Illinois Fighting Illini finds the actual events of the most cataclysmic day in his past unequal to their impact on his life and so rewrites them in his mind, adding an ill-placed banana peel, a falling meteor, and a careening truck in order to create a more fitting climax and finally to leave those memories behind him. Searching their pasts for clues to the present, searching the horizons of their days for love, the characters in The Evening News seek, and sometimes find, redemption in a world of uncertainty and brightly burning emotions.
