The Tunnel
Author: A. B. Yehoshua
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin
ISBN: 1328622630
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
From the award-winning, internationally acclaimed Israeli author, a suspenseful and poignant story of a family coping with the sudden mental decline of their beloved husband and father--an engineer who they discover is involved in an ominous secret military project Until recently, Zvi Luria was a healthy man in his seventies, an engineer living in Tel Aviv with his wife, Dina, visiting with their two children whenever possible. Now he is showing signs of early dementia, and his work on the tunnels of the Trans-Israel Highway is no longer possible. To keep his mind sharp, Zvi decides to take a job as the unpaid assistant to Asael Maimoni, a young engineer involved in a secret military project: a road to be built inside the massive Ramon Crater in the northern Negev Desert. The challenge of the road, however, is compounded by strange circumstances. Living secretly on the proposed route, amid ancient Nabatean ruins, is a Palestinian family under the protection of an enigmatic archaeological preservationist. Zvi rises to the occasion, proposing a tunnel that would not dislodge the family. But when his wife falls sick, circumstances begin to spiral . . . The Tunnel--wry, wistful, and a tour de force of vital social commentary--is Yehoshua at his finest.

Crossing Under the Hudson
Author: Angus Kress Gillespie
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 0813550831
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
Crossing Under the Hudson takes a fresh look at the planning and construction of two key links in the transportation infrastructure of New York and New Jersey--the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels. Writing in an accessible style that incorporates historical accounts with a lively and entertaining approach, Angus Kress Gillespie explores these two monumental works of civil engineering and the public who embraced them. He describes and analyzes the building of the tunnels, introduces readers to the people who worked there--then and now--and places the structures into a meaningful cultural context with the music, art, literature, and motion pictures that these tunnels, engineering marvels of their day, have inspired over the years. Today, when new concerns about global terrorism may trump bouts of simple tunnel tension, Gillespie's Crossing Under the Hudson continues to cast a light at the end of the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels.

The Light at the End of the Tunnel
Author: Shawn Harper
Publisher: Publishamerica Incorporated
ISBN: 9781424141982
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 157
Book Description
The Light at the End of the Tunnel is a poetic journey that allows the reader into the dark and sorrowful world of the author. The poems in the beginning are sad, depressive, self-loathing, and often bitter and angry. Here the author shares her most personal moments of heartache, depression, self-loathing, and suicide attempts. It is not for the weak of heart. The book then moves into a gray area that is more exploratory of the authors soul. She ponders the color of the sky to the power in the color of a childs eyes and the hold they have over her. Finally, we begin to see a glimmer of hope. There is a light up ahead and she follows it. The reader follows along with the author through love poems and admiration of nature, music, and art to the final poem where, at last, she finds where she belongs.
