Book Description
The night I met Bree, she was beaten and broken. I saw her pain and fear, but I also saw her strength. I was drawn to her right from the start. But her sister’s in love with my brother. We all live in the same building, and I was very expressly warned to keep my hands to myself. In other words, Cara told me she’d cut off my balls if I went there. But when Declan asks me to spend time with Bree so he can convince her sister to move in with him, I can’t say no. I can do this. I can be her friend. I can ignore her lush lips, her killer curves and just be there for her, any way she needs me. I’m doing it too, never crossing that line…until she knocks on my door at midnight. Now I want to make her mine, but I’m not just up against our family, I’m also fighting Bree’s demons. And I’m pretty sure her sister runs faster than me, even in her stilettos.

The Oxford Encyclopedia of American Literature
Author: Jay Parini
Publisher:
ISBN: 0195156536
Category : American literature
Languages : en
Pages : 2273
Book Description
This set treats the whole of American literature, from the European discovery of America to the present, with entries in alphabetical order. Each of the 350 substantive essays is a major interpretive contribution. Well-known critics and scholars provide clear and vividly written essays thatreflect the latest scholarship on a given topic, as well as original thinking on the part of the critic. The Encyclopedia is available in print and as an e-reference text from Oxford's Digital Reference Shelf.At the core of the encyclopedia lie 250 essays on poets, playwrights, essayists, and novelists. The most prominent figures (such as Whitman, Melville, Faulkner, Frost, Morrison, and so forth) are treated at considerable length (10,000 words) by top-flight critics. Less well known figures arediscussed in essays ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 words. Each essay examines the life of the author in the context of his or her times, looking in detail at key works and describing the arc of the writer's career. These essays include an assessment of the writer's current reputation with abibliography of major works by the writer as well as a list of major critical and biographical works about the writer under discussion.A second key element of the project is the critical assessments of major American masterworks, such as Moby-Dick, Song of Myself, Walden, The Great Gatsby, The Waste Land, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Death of a Salesmanr, or Beloved. Each of these essays offers a close reading of the given work,placing that work in its historical context and offering a range of possibilities with regard to critical approach. These fifty essays (ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 words) are simply and clearly enough written that an intelligent high school student should easily understand them, but sophisticatedenough that a college student or general reader in a public library will find the essays both informative and stimulating.The final major element of this encyclopedia consists of fifty-odd essays on literary movements, periods, or themes, pulling together a broad range of information and making interesting connections. These essays treat many of the same authors already discussed, but in a different context; they alsogather into the fold authors who do not have an entire essay on their work (so that Zane Grey, for example, is discussed in an essay on Western literature but does not have an essay to himself). In this way, the project is truly "encyclopedic," in the conventional sense. These essays aim forcomprehensiveness without losing anything of the narrative force that makes them good reading in their own right.In a very real fashion, the literature of the American people reflects their deepest desires, aspirations, fears, and fantasies. The Oxford Encyclopedia of American Literature gathers a wide range of information that illumines the field itself and clarifies many of its particulars.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
Not everyone gets to grow up in a small farming town like Yorktown, Indiana, but Greg Phillips did. What's more, he made the best of it by never really leaving. Greg's fate was sealed before his birth, when his father opened his own pattern shop. Phillips Patterns opened for business as a wood pattern manufacturer on a small plot of land that belonged to Greg's grandfather. Decades later, it still remains a family business. As a boy, along with two friends-Bill Webb and Mark Zurlino-Greg began a lifelong love affair with cars. Together, the three boys took risks, raced toward danger, and enjoyed every minute of being pals during the 1960s, 1970s, and up to the present day. Greg relished working on and racing fast cars, but life would have meant nothing without the love of his wife, Stacy, and the rest of his family. In Surviving the 70s, he recalls sports, pranks, outdoor adventures, cruising streets on summer nights, family tragedies, and living life to the fullest no matter what happens.
