Middlesex
Author: Jeffrey Eugenides
Publisher: Vintage Canada
ISBN: 0307401944
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 546
Book Description
Spanning eight decades and chronicling the wild ride of a Greek-American family through the vicissitudes of the twentieth century, Jeffrey Eugenides’ witty, exuberant novel on one level tells a traditional story about three generations of a fantastic, absurd, lovable immigrant family -- blessed and cursed with generous doses of tragedy and high comedy. But there’s a provocative twist. Cal, the narrator -- also Callie -- is a hermaphrodite. And the explanation for this takes us spooling back in time, through a breathtaking review of the twentieth century, to 1922, when the Turks sacked Smyrna and Callie’s grandparents fled for their lives. Back to a tiny village in Asia Minor where two lovers, and one rare genetic mutation, set our narrator’s life in motion. Middlesex is a grand, utterly original fable of crossed bloodlines, the intricacies of gender, and the deep, untidy promptings of desire. It’s a brilliant exploration of divided people, divided families, divided cities and nations -- the connected halves that make up ourselves and our world.

Marriage to Death
Author: Rush Rehm
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691194475
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
The link between weddings and death—as found in dramas ranging from Romeo and Juliet to Lorca's Blood Wedding—plays a central role in the action of many Greek tragedies. Female characters such as Kassandra, Antigone, and Helen enact and refer to significant parts of wedding and funeral rites, but often in a twisted fashion. Over time the pressure of dramatic events causes the distinctions between weddings and funerals to disappear. In this book, Rush Rehm considers how and why the conflation of the two ceremonies comes to theatrical life in the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophokles, and Euripides. By focusing on the dramatization of important rituals conducted by women in ancient Athenian society, Rehm offers a new perspective on Greek tragedy and the challenges it posed for its audience. The conflation of weddings and funerals, the author argues, unleashes a kind of dramatic alchemy whereby female characters become the bearers of new possibilities. Such as formulation enables the tragedians to explore the limitations of traditional thinking and acting in fifth-century Athens. Rehm finds that when tragic weddings and funerals become confused and perverted, the aftershocks disturb the political and ideological givens of Athenian society, challenging the audience to consider new, and often radically different, directions for their city. Rush Rehm is Assistant Professor of Drama and Classics at Standford University and a free-lance theater director. He is the author of Greek Tragic Theatre (Routledge) and Aeschylus' Oresteia: A Theatre Vision (Hawthorn). Originally published in 1994. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Book Description
A New York Times Notable Book of 2011 A Publisher's Weekly Top 10 Book of 2011 A Kirkus Reviews Top 25 Best Fiction of 2011 Title One of Library Journal's Best Books of 2011 A Salon Best Fiction of 2011 title One of The Telegraph's Best Fiction Books of the Year 2011 It's the early 1980s—the country is in a deep recession, and life after college is harder than ever. In the cafés on College Hill, the wised-up kids are inhaling Derrida and listening to Talking Heads. But Madeleine Hanna, dutiful English major, is writing her senior thesis on Jane Austen and George Eliot, purveyors of the marriage plot that lies at the heart of the greatest English novels. As Madeleine tries to understand why "it became laughable to read writers like Cheever and Updike, who wrote about the suburbia Madeleine and most of her friends had grown up in, in favor of reading the Marquis de Sade, who wrote about deflowering virgins in eighteenth-century France," real life, in the form of two very different guys, intervenes. Leonard Bankhead—charismatic loner, college Darwinist, and lost Portland boy—suddenly turns up in a semiotics seminar, and soon Madeleine finds herself in a highly charged erotic and intellectual relationship with him. At the same time, her old "friend" Mitchell Grammaticus—who's been reading Christian mysticism and generally acting strange—resurfaces, obsessed with the idea that Madeleine is destined to be his mate. Over the next year, as the members of the triangle in this amazing, spellbinding novel graduate from college and enter the real world, events force them to reevaluate everything they learned in school. Leonard and Madeleine move to a biology Laboratory on Cape Cod, but can't escape the secret responsible for Leonard's seemingly inexhaustible energy and plunging moods. And Mitchell, traveling around the world to get Madeleine out of his mind, finds himself face-to-face with ultimate questions about the meaning of life, the existence of God, and the true nature of love. Are the great love stories of the nineteenth century dead? Or can there be a new story, written for today and alive to the realities of feminism, sexual freedom, prenups, and divorce? With devastating wit and an abiding understanding of and affection for his characters, Jeffrey Eugenides revives the motivating energies of the Novel, while creating a story so contemporary and fresh that it reads like the intimate journal of our own lives.

Harlequin Presents brings you four full-length stories in one collection! Experience the glamorous lives of royals and billionaires, where passion knows no bounds. Be swept into a world of luxury, wealth and exotic locations. This box set includes: BABY WORTH BILLIONS (A The Diamond Club novel) by USA TODAY bestselling author Lynne Graham Raj Belanger has everything money can buy, but something he never desired – the responsibility for his orphaned baby niece, Pansy. His wretched upbringing convinces him she’s best with her aunt, artist Sunshine Barker. Until bohemian Sunny upends his carefully controlled life… Little Pansy is Sunny’s world. Yet, her magnetic attraction to Raj and their explosive night together shakes her to the core. Six weeks later, Sunny discovers she’s expecting. And Raj’s solution is the biggest shock of all – he’ll claim his child by claiming Sunny as his bride! HEIR ULTIMATUM (A The Diamond Club novel) by Michelle Smart When waitress Layla’s attempts to contact Sebastiano Russo after their spontaneous, desire-fueled encounter go unanswered, she has no choice. Her plan? Wait until she finally sees him again three months later, convince him to lower his guard…then handcuff him and deliver her bombshell. She’s pregnant. Supporting her unborn child is Layla’s top priority, so demanding a small share of Sebastiano’s billions seems reasonable enough. Then he gives her an ultimatum of his own—double or nothing if, to distract the world from some inconvenient business headlines, she’ll marry him in Sicily… HIS RUNAWAY ROYAL (A The Diamond Club novel) by Clare Connelly Two years ago, Princess Amelia ran away to protect her family from scandal. Now, her brother has tasked his best friend, billionaire Benedetto to bring her home on his superyacht. He’ll stop at nothing to succeed – not even kidnap...

Then a thrill-seeking expedition leaves Trip missing, presumed dead… Weeks later, Trip stuns everyone with his return—and an engagement announcement! To stabilize his position as CEO, he urgently requires a wife. He’s confident he can persuade Lily his proposal is mutually beneficial, especially as time apart has only stoked their hunger. But when Lily reluctantly agrees, Trip can’t ignore how real their ring ruse feels… For more stories filled with passion and drama, look for Harlequin Presents August 2024 Box Set – 2 of 2
