A Shadow on the Household: One Enslaved Family`s Incredible Struggle for Freedom

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The extraordinary story of one couple’s determination to free themselves and their children from slavery and make a new life in CanadaPrior to abolition in 1865, as many as 40,000 men, women, and children made the perilous trip north from enslavement in the United States to freedom in Canada. Many were aided by networks that came to be known as the Underground Railroad. And the stories that emerge from the past about these journeys are truly remarkable. In A Shadow on the Household, Bryan Prince, a descendant of slaves, brings to life the heart-wrenching story of the Weems family and their struggle to liberate themselves from slavery. John Weems, a man who purchased his own freedom, paid the owner of his enslaved wife and eight children an annual fee to keep them together at one plantation. But when that owner died, the Weemses were cruelly separated and scattered throughout the South. Heartbroken and desperate, John resolved to raise the money to buy his family’s freedom and reunite… [detailed...]

A Shiver of Wonder: A Life of C. S. Lewis

Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionHe was an atheist who became the best-selling Christian author in history. He was an intellectual snob who was transformed into a man who had a mind and heart awake to holiness. He had no children, but few men in history have been so deeply loved by children. He was a mirror reflecting another Face. He was an Oxford Don and a Cambridge Professor. He was an expert in Medieval and Renaissance English who gripped the imagination of millions through his wartime broadcasts of Christian truth for the BBC. These broadcasts later became his famous book, Mere Christianity, through which more people were converted to faith than through any other Christian book in the 20th Century. His involvement in Oxford University?s Socratic Club became the highlight of many a student?s University days. He was C. S. Lewis, and his name is synonymous with legendary kindness, intellectual rigour, a love of nature and perhaps his greatest creations, Aslan and the land… [detailed...]

Anthony W. Lee
A Shoemaker`s Story: Being Chiefly about French Canadian Immigrants, Enterprising Photographers, Rascal Yankees, and Chinese Cobblers in a Nineteenth-Century Factory Town

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: On a June morning in 1870, seventy-five Chinese immigrants stepped off a train in the New England factory town of North Adams, Massachusetts, imported as strikebreakers by the local shoe manufacturer. They threaded their way through a hostile mob and then--remarkably--their new employer lined them up along the south wall of his factory and had them photographed as the mob fell silent. So begins A Shoemaker`s Story. Anthony Lee seeks to understand the social forces that brought this now-famous photograph into being, and the events and images it subsequently spawned. He traces the rise of photography as a profession and the hopes and experiences of immigrants trying to find their place in the years following the Civil War. He describes the industrialization of the once-traditional craft of shoemaking, and the often violent debates about race, labor, class, and citizenship that industrialization caused. Generously illustrated with many extraordinary photographs, A Shoemaker`s Story… [detailed...]

A Short History of Myth (Myths, The)

Description: This brilliant, readable synthesis of the history of mythology and the function it serves to humanity is the launch title of the groundbreaking publishing event, The Myths . `Human beings have always been mythmakers.` So begins Karen Armstrong`s concise yet compelling investigation into myth: what it is, how it has evolved, and why we still so desperately need it. She takes us from the Paleolithic period and the myths of the hunters right up to the `Great Western Transformation` of the last five hundred years and the discrediting of myth by science. The history of myth is the history of humanity, our stories and beliefs, our curiosity and attempts to understand the world, which link us to our ancestors and each other. Myths help us make sense of the universe. Heralding a major series of retellings of international myths by authors from around the world, Armstrong`s characteristically insightful and eloquent book serves as a brilliant and thought-provoking introduction to myth in… [detailed...]

Her choice echoes in the stories of her descendants interwoven throughout: a brilliant daughter who tries to escape the burden of her mother`s infamy by immigrating to America just after World War I to begin a career in science, a niece who chooses a conventional path -- marriage, children, suburban domesticity -- only to find herself disillusioned with her husband of fifty years and engaged in heartbreaking and futile antiwar protests, a great-granddaughter who wryly articulates the free-floating anxiety of the times while getting drunk on a children`s playdate in post-9/11 Manhattan.

Description: The extremes of American eating-our separate-but-equal urges to stuff and to starve ourselves-are easy to blame on the excesses of modern living. But Frederick Kaufman followed the winding road of the American intestine back to that cold morning when the first famished Pilgrim clambered off the Mayflower, and he discovered the alarming truth: We`ve been this way all along. With outraged wit and an incredible range of sources that includes everything from Cotton Mather`s diary to interviews with Amish black-market raw-milk dealers, Kaufman offers a highly selective, take-no-prisoners tour of American history by way of the American stomach. Travel with him as he tracks down our earliest foodies, discovers the secret history of Puritan purges, introduces diet gurus of the nineteenth century, such as William Alcott, who believed that nothing ought to be mashed before it is eaten, traces extreme feeders from Paul Bunyan to eating-contest champ Dale Boone (descended from Daniel, of course),… [detailed...]

A Short History of the Shadow

1999 y.
Publisher: Reaktion Books
Description: This provocatively `short` history of the shadow opens with a reappraisal of the contribution to the subject that can be teased out from comments by Pliny the Elder and Plato. Pliny`s myth of the origin of art, which identifies the birth of artistic representation as having taken place in a Corinth potter`s home, and Plato`s myth of knowledge, set forth by the philosopher in the celebrated allegory of the cave, both deal with the shadow - the dark spot that by its presence confirms an absence. But the shadow can also be understood to be the present `other` of the body, a fact enforced by the rule of light, so that the shadow can even be seen to be a form of self-representation. Indeed, according to J.C.Lavatar in the 18th century, it was the shadow of the face, not the face itself, that was the soul`s true reflection. Формат: 15,5 см x 23,5 см. [detailed...]
