Publisher: —
Description: At the turn of the twentieth century, American popular literary magazines and journals pulsed with local color fiction, seeking to satisfy a national hunger for American identity. Anxiety over increasing numbers of new stock immigrantsa??and the changing face of an industrializing Americaa??gave rise to greater popular interest in stories with a simple focus on localized folk culture and old stock immigrant tradition. In the footsteps of writers like Harriet Beecher Stowe and Sarah Orne Jewett, the Pennsylvania German writings of Elsie Singmaster emerged to great popularity and acclaim.Born and raised in the Pennsylvania German tradition, Elsie Singmaster wrote extensively over the first half of the twentieth century.

Heart Songs

2009 y.
Publisher: Fourth Estate
Description: In the remote settlements of New England, life revolves around hunting. On the high, wooded hillsides there are deer to be stalked, upriver there are quiet pools of trout to be caught, grouse to be shot and traplines to be laid for fur. But the old ways are threatened and the community is forced to face inevitable change. Whether they`re out-of-towners who think that country life is improving, or natives who know that it isn`t, the men and women of these stories are all searching for something better. These are people who dream useless dreams - and go on dreaming, whatever the disappointments. Tough, tender and irresistibly humorous, `Heat Songs` takes the reader on a trail through the great outdoors to the innermost places of the heart. Формат: 13 см х 19,5 см. [detailed...]

Description: Carolyn Jourdan, an attorney on Capitol Hill, thought she had it made. But when her mother has a heart attack, she returns home—to the Tennessee mountains, where her father is a country doctor and her mother works as his receptionist. Jourdan offers to fill in for her mother until she gets better. But days turn into weeks as she trades her suits for scrubs and finds herself following hazmat regulations for cleaning up bodily fluids, maintaining composure when confronted with a splinter the size of a steak knife, and tending to the loquacious Miss Hiawatha, whose daily doctor visits are never billed. Most important, though, she comes to understand what her caring and patient father means to her close-knit community. With great humor and great tenderness, Heart in the Right Place shows that some of our biggest heroes are the ones living right beside us. [detailed...]

Joseph Conrad
Heart of Darkness &, Other Stories

2005 y.
Publisher: Wordsworth Editions Limited
Description: Generally regarded as the pre-eminent work of Conrad`s shorter fiction, Heart of Darkness is a chilling tale of horror which, as the author intended, is capable of many interpretations. Set in the Congo during the period of rapid colonial expansion in the nineteenth century, the story deals with the highly disturbing effects of economic, social and political exploitation on European and African societies and the cataclysmic behaviour this induced in some individuals. The other two stories in this book - Youth and The End of the Tether - concern the sea and those who sail upon it, a genre in which Conrad reigns supreme. [detailed...]

Description: Joseph Conrad (1857-1924), a British author born in Poland (as Jozef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski), is celebrated for his tales of the sea and exotic climes in which men`s personalities are subjected to extreme physical and psychological trials. After some twenty years as a seaman, he became an established writer in 1894. `Heart of Darkness`, written in 1898 and 1899 and first published in 1902, is cited in the 15th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica as Conrad`s `most famous, finest, and most enigmatic story`. It reflects his own unsettling experiences in Belgium`s exploitative `Congo Free State` in 1890, which affected his health severely for the remainder of his life. [detailed...]

Heart of Spain: Robert Capa`s Photographs of the Spanish Civil War

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Considered by many to be the greatest war photographer, Robert Capa first gained recognition for images he made during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). This volume is the first to be devoted entirely to these photographs. In 1936, the rebellion of monarchists and fascists led by General Franco, in alliance with Hitler and Mussolini, mobilized anti-fascists all over the world, among them Robert Capa. During the entire period of the civil war, Capa traveled throughout the Loyalist-held areas of Spain, photographing battles, cities under siege, and the chaos of a modern nation at war with itself. One series of images documents the heroic Loyalist defense of Madrid, another the mass exodus of Catalonians from Barcelona to the French border. His iconic photograph of a Loyalist militiaman who has just been shot shocked the world with its brutal immediacy. Capa`s pictures not only illuminated the strength and courage of the soldiers who carried on… [detailed...]
