It also ensured that the books were shelved near those of Brian Jacques, an author that the writers, collectively known as "the Erins", liked. Victoria Holmes chose the name Erin because she liked the name, and Hunter because it matched the theme of feral cats. The pseudonym is used so that the individual novels in the series would not be shelved in different places in libraries. The series was written by Erin Hunter, a pseudonym used by authors Cherith Baldry, Kate Cary, Tui Sutherland, and series editor Victoria Holmes. Though the novels have appeared on the New York Times Bestseller List and have been nominated for several awards, none of the novels in Warriors: The New Prophecy has won a significant literary award. The arc's major themes deal with forbidden love, the concept of nature versus nurture, and characters being a mix of good and bad. The New Prophecy details the Clans' journey to a new home when humans (called Twolegs by the Clans) destroy their original territories. The novels are published by HarperCollins under the pseudonym Erin Hunter, which refers to authors Kate Cary and Cherith Baldry and plot developer/editor Victoria Holmes. The arc comprises six novels which were published from 2005 to 2006: Midnight, Moonrise, Dawn, Starlight, Twilight, and Sunset. Warriors: The New Prophecy is the second arc in the Warriors juvenile fantasy novel series about cats, who live in four established clans and follow a code to keep the peace between them from breaking apart completely. Katherine Wright first flew with her brothers for their demonstration flights in France in 1909. In remembering the financial and moral support she provided to them, her brother Wilbur said, "If ever the world thinks of us in connection with aviation, it must remember our sister." If we accept the premise that the first machine-powered flight by humans occurred on December 17, 1903, with the Wright Brothers, it is appropriate to begin with an almost forgotten contributor to that great event: their sister Katharine Wright. Instead of inducting the normal number of women or groups into our Pioneer Hall of Fame, we paid tribute to 100 Women Who Made a Difference in the first 100 years of aviation. In honor of the Centennial of Flight on December 17, 2003, Women in Aviation International selected a unique celebration. You preface both your novels with epigraphs from Southern rappers and the Bible. Finally, I wrote about the storm because I was dissatisfied with the way it had receded from public consciousness. I was also angry at the people who blamed survivors for staying and for choosing to return to the Mississippi Gulf Coast after the storm. It was terrifying and I needed to write about that. Why did you want to write about Hurricane Katrina? She teaches at the University of South Alabama. Ward, the first person in her family to attend college, received her MFA from the University of Michigan and was a Stegner Fellow at Stanford University. Bois Sauvage, also the setting of her first novel Where the Line Bleeds, was modeled on Ward’s hometown of De Lisle, Mississippi. Her alcoholic and abusive father readies the house for the storm her brother Randal dreams of a basketball scholarship her brother Skeetah obsesses over China, his prize pit bull and Junior, the youngest, clamors for attention. It centers on Esch-fourteen years old and pregnant-and Esch’s family in the aftermath of her mother’s death in childbirth. Jesmyn Ward’s second novel, Salvage the Bones, is set in the fictional Mississippi Gulf town of Bois Sauvage in the days leading up to Hurricane Katrina. In the tradition of Michael Ondatjee's Anil's Ghost and Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things, Island of a Thousand Mirrors is an emotionally resonant saga of cultural heritage, heartbreaking conflict and deep family bonds. But her dreams for the future are abruptly stamped out when she is arrested by a group of Sinhala soldiers and pulled into the very heart of the conflict that she has tried so hard to avoid – a conflict that, eventually, will connect her and Yasodhara in unexpected ways. Saraswathie is living in the active war zone of Sri Lanka, and hopes to become a teacher. But Yasodhara's life has already become intertwined with a young Tamil girl's… Yasodhara's family escapes to Los Angeles. As a child in idyllic Colombo, Yasodhara's and her siblings' lives are shaped by social hierarchies, their parents' ambitions, teenage love and, subtly, the differences between the Tamil and Sinhala people-but this peace is shattered by the tragedies of war. Yasodhara tells the story of her own Sinhala family, rich in love, with everything they could ask for. A stunning literary debut of two young women on opposing sides of the devastating Sri Lankan Civil War-winner of the Commonwealth Book Prize for Asia, longlisted for the Man Asian Literary Prizeīefore violence tore apart the tapestry of Sri Lanka and turned its pristine beaches red, there were two families. Cline’s story is largely weighted in favour of those cultures which left substantial archives of cuneiform-inscribed clay tablets, some of which were apparently fired inadvertently in the destruction of the cities in which they were made, and therefore preserved. Apart from the Mycenaeans, the Minoans of Crete, and of course the Egyptians, other civilisations make their appearances, including the Hittites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Mitanni, Ugarites, Hyksos, and others. Many of the names featuring in this cast of players will be familiar to anyone moderately literate in ancient history. But what we learn from 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed, Cline’s slim volume (there are 55 pages of citations and notes and bibliography to 185 pages of text, a few illustrations, and maps, which my inner scholar is very pleased with), is a sometimes tantalising look at the world of some three-and-a-half millennia ago, from the 14th to the 12th centuries BCE (Before Common Era*) a time known to historians and archaeologists as the Late Bronze Age. Readers would expect there to be some problems with trying to reconstruct the cultural landscape of the world of 3,000-plus years ago, and they would not be wrong. Cline (Princeton University Press, 2014)Īlmost 150 years later, Eric Cline has taken up that baton to give readers his version of the current state of understanding of that long-ago world, so recent in terms of geologic time, but so very remote from us. 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed, by Eric H. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Readers with little feet and big feet will fall head over heels for Larf. Ashley Spires once again shows her chops for creating irresistible, quirky characters and laugh-aloud stories and illustrations. What?! That must mean he's not the only sasquatch in the world! Excited by the prospect of having a friend to share hair grooming tips with (and let's face it, teeter-tottering alone is no fun), Larf disguises himself as a city slicker and heads for Hunderfitz - where he's in for a couple enormous surprises. But everything changes one morning when Larf discovers that another sasquatch is scheduled to make an appearance in the nearby city of Hunderfitz. He has a very pleasant, and very private, life in the woods, where on any given day he might be found jogging, gardening or walking Eric, his pet bunny. Larf, you see, is a sasquatch, the only sasquatch in the world (or so it seems). No one believes Larf exists, and he likes it that way. /rebates/2fLarf2fbook2f23269387&.

Brief Summary of Book: Wolf Spell (Wolf Trilogy, #1) by M.R. “I am going to see my grand-mamma, and carry her a girdle-cake, and a little pot of butter, from my mamma.” The poor child, who did not know that it was dangerous to stay and hear a Wolf talk, said to him: As she was going thro’ the wood, she met with Gaffer Wolf, who had a very great mind to eat her up, but he durst not, because of some faggot-makers hard by in the forest. Little Red Riding-Hood set out immediately to go to her grand-mother, who lived in another village. “Go, my dear, and see how thy grand-mamma does, for I hear she has been very ill, carry her a girdle-cake, and this little pot of butter.” One day, her mother, having made some girdle-cakes, said to her: This good woman got made for her a little red riding-hood which became the girl so extremely well, that every body called her Little Red Riding-Hood. Her mother was excessively fond of her and her grand-mother doated on her much more. Once upon a time, there lived in a certain village, a little country girl, the prettiest creature was ever seen.

Taken up in these works of art and literature, the freak serves as a metaphor for fundamental questions about self and other, identity and difference, and provides a window onto a once vital form of popular culture. With this history in mind, Adams turns from live entertainment to more mediated forms of cultural expression: the films of Tod Browning, the photography of Diane Arbus, the criticism of Leslie Fiedler, and the fiction Carson McCullers, Toni Morrison, and Katherine Dunn. begins by revisiting the terror and fascination the original freak shows provided for their audiences, as well as exploring the motivations of those who sought fame and profit in the business of human exhibition. Empty of any inherent meaning, the freak's body becomes a stage for playing out some of the twentieth century's most pressing social and political concerns, from debates about race, empire, and immigration, to anxiety about gender, and controversies over taste and public standards of decency. Freak shows, she contends, have survived because of their capacity for reinvention. , images of the freak show, with its combination of the grotesque, the horrific, and the amusing, stubbornly reappeared in literature and the arts. But as Rachel Adams reveals in Sideshow U.S.A. A staple of American popular culture during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the freak show seemed to vanish after the Second World War. |
