The Student Body
Author: J. S. Borthwick
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 9780312926052
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
The campus of Maine's Bowmouth College looks like a picture postcard of New England-snow-covered lawns, students in colorful ski parkas, icicles dangling on the ivied halls. Sarah Deane-English Fellow with an honorary degree in sleuthing-expects to spend a quiet term here taking some graduate courses and doing a little teaching. But then Sarah finds that someone's organized an advanced course in murder. The first lesson comes when a woman student is found frozen into a prize-winning snow sculpture during Carnival weekend. The second is served up with a cozy cup of poisoned cocoa. And when the clues point straight to an English department already rife with rivalries, Sarah realizes that a little learning can be a very dangerous thing...

Awful Catastrophe
Author: Wen Shaoxian
Publisher: Everflow Publications
ISBN: 9628687395
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 419
Book Description
Awful Catastrophe is designed to reflect the entire process of the most turbulent years in the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in China. Awful Catastrophe employs two parallel developing threads: One to have the important political events in various periods run through the whole book, and the other to make various tragic stories of the characters develop by centering on the above political events throughout the novel. The two threads closely weave together as flesh and blood from beginning to end, setting off each other conspicuously, so as to enable the readers to have a strong sense of reality as if they placed themselves into the actual situation. It is a novel, of course, but one can also regard it as a history book about the Cultural Revolution in a certain sense. This book can be regarded as the walking encyclopedia of the Cultural Revolution. Concreteness and authenticity are the other characteristics that can make those writers who have no experience in the Cultural Revolution but want to write about it lose confidence and thus they might lay down their pen right away. During such a time of reversal, a lot of people were made fool of, many pure souls were stained with dust, many lofty ideas were shattered and the love between many lovers was strangled. The book also presents to the readers such things as distortion of human nature, inhumanity, ugly sides of human souls and so on. Simon Chan, the hero of the book, is a typical character of the Chinese intellectuals. His involvement in the torrential political waves to his missing precisely represents the tragic fate of the young intellectuals at that time. The novel, in addition to narrating every step of his political performance in this political storm in a deep going way, narrates his tender love and intimate relations with Flora and Gem with literary grace. The difference between this novel and the other literary works also reflecting the Cultural Revolution lies in the fact that it minutely narrates every step and the progress of the Cultural Revolution in a macroscopic and all-direction manner. It succeeds in depicting the very complicated relations among the characters from the high, medium and low strata in the most unbridled and most senseless days in this disastrous movement. No other literary works have been able to bring to light the complete picture of the Cultural Revolution so deep in length and so broad in scale so far in China or elsewhere in the world.

The Drama of Dictatorship
Author: Joseph Scalice
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501770497
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
The Drama of Dictatorship uncovers the role played by rival Communist parties in the conflict that culminated in Ferdinand Marcos's declaration of martial law in 1972. Using the voluminous radical literature of the period, Joseph Scalice reveals how two parties, the PKP and the CPP, torn apart by the Sino-Soviet dispute, subordinated the explosive mass struggles of the time behind rival elite conspirators. The PKP backed Marcos and the CPP, his bourgeois opponents. The absence of an independent mass movement in defense of democracy made dictatorship possible. The Drama of Dictatorship argues that the martial law regime was not fundamentally the outcome of Marcos's personal quest to remain in power but rather a consensus of the country's ruling elite, confronted with mounting social unrest, that authoritarian forms of rule were necessary to preserve their property and privileges. The bourgeois opponents of Marcos did not defend democracy but, like Marcos, plotted against it.

The Student's Life of Washington
Author: Washington Irving
Publisher: anboco
ISBN: 3736410824
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1076
Book Description
In condensing into one compact volume Mr. Irving's elaborate Life of Washington, care has been taken to retain, not only all the important facts connected with Washington's career, but also those circumstances and incidents which may be supposed to contribute to a full estimate of his character in all its aspects. Nor have any portion of the great events connected with the era in which he filled so grand and controlling a part been unduly neglected or subordinated. The work, in its present abbreviated form, still presents a continuous and complete record of American history during the period of Washington's official life. Mr. Irving's language, as a rule, has been retained; but in cases where a variation from his sentences has been necessary, in order to secure the requisite brevity, the paragraphs are enclosed in brackets.
