Letters from Max
Author: Sarah Ruhl
Publisher: Milkweed Editions
ISBN: 157131976X
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
A real professor and her student forge a friendship through correspondence as they discuss love, art, life, cancer, and death. In 2012, Sarah Ruhl was a distinguished author and playwright, twice a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Max Ritvo, a student in her playwriting class at Yale University, was an exuberant, opinionated, and highly gifted poet. He was also in remission from pediatric cancer. Over the next four years—in which Ritvo’s illness returned and his health declined, even as his productivity bloomed—the two exchanged letters that spark with urgency, humor, and the desire for connection. Reincarnation, books, the afterlife as an Amtrak quiet car, good soup: in Ruhl and Ritvo’s exchanges, all ideas are fair, nourishing game, shared and debated in a spirit of generosity and love. “We’ll always know one another forever, however long ever is,” Ritvo writes. “And that’s all I want—is to know you forever.” Studded with poems and songs, Letters from Max is a deeply moving portrait of a friendship, and a shimmering exploration of love, art, mortality, and the afterlife. Praise for Letters from Max “An unusual, beautiful book about nothing less than the necessity of art in our lives. Two big-hearted, big-brained writers have allowed us to eavesdrop on their friendship: jokes and heartbreaks, admiration, hard work, tender work.” —Elizabeth McCracken, author of Bowlaway “Immediate comparisons will be made to Rainer Maria Rilke’s Letters to a Young Artist . . . this book is a nuanced look at the evolution of an incredible talent facing mortality and the mentor, never condescending, who recognizes his gift. Their infectious letters shine with a love of words and beauty.” —The Observer “Deeply moving, often heartbreaking. . . . A captivating celebration of life and love.” —Kirkus Reviews “Moving and erudite . . . devastating and lyrical . . . Ruhl draws a comparison between their correspondence and that between poets Robert Lowell and Elizabeth Bishop, and indeed, with the depth and intelligence displayed, one feels in the presence of literary titans.” —Publishers Weekly

Book Description
More than two decades of letters from one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century—the author of The Metamorphosis and The Trial—to the people in his life, from his years as a student in Prague in the early 1900s to his final months in the sanatorium near Vienna where he died in 1924.

Max Havelaar
Author: Multatuli
Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 1681372630
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
A fierce indictment of colonialism, Max Havelaar is a masterpiece of Dutch literature based on the author's own experience as an adminstrator in the Dutch East Indies in the 1850s. A brilliantly inventive fiction that is also a work of burning political outrage, Max Havelaar tells the story of a renegade Dutch colonial administrator’s ultimately unavailing struggle to end the exploitation of the Indonesian peasantry. Havelaar’s impassioned exposé is framed by the fatuous reflections of an Amsterdam coffee trader, Drystubble, into whose hands it has fallen. Thus a tale of the jungles and villages of Indonesia is interknit with one of the houses and warehouses of bourgeois Amsterdam where the tidy profits from faraway brutality not only accrue but are counted as a sign of God’s grace. Multatuli (meaning “I have suffered greatly”) was the pen name of Eduard Douwes Dekker, and his novel caused a political storm when it came out in Holland. Max Havelaar, however, is as notable for its art as it is for its politics. Layering not only different stories but different ways of writing—including plays, poems, lists, letters, and a wild accumulation of notes—to furious, hilarious, and disconcerting effect, this masterpiece of Dutch literature confronts the fixities of power with the protean and subversive energy of the imagination.

Death Is Not "The End"
Author: Mandy Berlin
Publisher: Abbott Press
ISBN: 1458217086
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
On December 23, 2003, as death released her beloved husband, Max, from the ravages of cancer, Mandy Berlins life also changed. Soon after her husband passed away, Mandy began to experience uncanny, even miraculous happenings. As a retired scientist, she approached the mystery the way she had been trained to do--through empirical observation and analysis. She kept meticulous records of the astounding sights and sounds she witnessed. Her documentation also included the stories of stunned loved ones who called her in the days after Max passed. The result is Death Is Not The End, the detailed account of her journey from grief to hope and faith. An agnostic in the years before her husbands death, she knew that these amazing experiences challenged her lack of belief. Time and again, a synchronistic melody would play as an uncanny episode presented itself to awestruck Mandy and others. Here, she invites readers into detailed accounts of more than fifty experiences beyond natural explanation. On the one-year anniversary of her beloved Maxs departure, another life-changing event opened Mandys eyes to a startling promise, and a new way of living/being. Was Max really gone forever? One year after he died, just minutes before the time recorded on her husbands death certificate, Mandy witnessed a mind-numbing event that had the effect of solidifying her awe-inspiring experiences. She now embraces a new understanding of life, death, and the subtle boundaries between, and shares it all in this memoir.
