Meg Wolitzer
The Ten-Year Nap

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The New York Times bestselling novel that woke up critics, book clubs, and women everywhere. For a group of four New York friends the past decade has been defined largely by marriage and motherhood, but it wasn?t always that way. Growing up, they had been told that their generation would be different. And for a while this was true. They went to good colleges, and began high-powered careers. But after marriage and babies, for a variety of reasons, they decided to stay home, temporarily, to raise their children. Now, ten years later, they are still at home, unsure how they came to inhabit lives so different from the ones they expected?until a new series of events begins to change the landscape of their lives yet again, in ways they couldn?t have predicted. Written in Meg Wolitzer?s inimitable, glittering style, The Ten-Year Nap is wickedly observant, knowing, provocative, surprising, and always entertaining, as it explores the lives of its women with candor, wit, and generosity.

Anne Bronte
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

2001 y.
Publisher: Wordsworth Editions Limited
Description: `The Tenant of Wildfell Hall` is a powerful and sometimes violent novel of expectation, love, oppression, sin, religion and betrayal. It portrays the disintegration of the marriage of Helen Huntingdon, the mysterious `tenant` of the title, and her dissolute, alcoholic husband. Defying convention, Helen leaves her husband to protect their young son from his father`s influence, and earns her own living as an artist. Whilst in hiding at Wildfell Hall, she encounters Gilbert Markham, who falls in love with her. On its first publication in 1848, Anne Bronte`s second novel was criticised for being `coarse` and `brutal`. `The Tenant of Wildfell Hall` challenges the social conventions of the early nineteenth century in a strong defence of women`s rights in the face of psychological abuse from their husbands. Anne Bronte`s style is bold, naturalistic and passionate, and this novel, which her sister Charlotte considered `an entire mistake`, has earned Anne a position in English literature… [detailed...]

Sanford Sternlicht
The Tenement Saga: The Lower East Side and Early Jewish American Writers

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Nearly two million Jewish men, women, and children emigrated from Eastern Europe between 1882 and 1924 and settled in, or passed through, the Lower East Side of New York City. Sanford Sternlicht tells the story of his own childhood in this vibrant neighborhood and puts it within the context of fourteen early twentieth-century East Side writers. Anzia Yezierska, Abraham Cahan, Michael Gold, and Henry Roth, and others defined this new `Jewish homeland` and paved the way for the later great Jewish American novelists. Sternlicht discusses the role of women, the Yiddish Theater, secular values, the struggle between generations, street crime, politics, labor unions, and the importance of newspapers and periodicals. He documents the decline of Yiddish culture as these immigrants blended into what they called `The Golden Land.` [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: One of the world’s most celebrated authors, Margaret Atwood has penned a collection of smart and entertaining fictional essays, in the genre of her popular books Good Bones and Murder in the Dark , punctuated with wonderful illustrations by the author. Chilling and witty, prescient and personal, delectable and tart, these highly imaginative, vintage Atwoodian mini-fictions speak on a broad range of subjects, reflecting the times we live in with deadly accuracy and knife-edge precision. In pieces ranging in length from a mere paragraph to several pages, Atwood gives a sly pep talk to the ambitious young, writes about the disconcerting experience of looking at old photos of ourselves, gives us Horatio`s real views on Hamlet, and examines the boons and banes of orphanhood. “Bring Back Mom: An Invocation” explores what life was really like for the “perfect” homemakers of days gone by, and in “The Animals Reject Their Names,”… [detailed...]

Laura Marcus
The Tenth Muse: Writing about Cinema in the Modernist Period

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `The Tenth Muse: Writing about Cinema in the Modernist Period` explores writings on the cinema in the first decades of the twentieth century. Laura Marcus examines the impact of cinema on early twentieth-century literary and, more broadly, aesthetic and cultural consciousness, by bringing together the study of the terms and strategies of early writings about film with literary engagement with cinema in the same period. She gives a new understanding of the ways in which early writers about film - reviewers, critics, theorists - developed aesthetic categories to define and accommodate what was called `the seventh art` or `the tenth muse` and found discursive strategies adequate to the representation of the new art and technology of cinema, with its unprecedented powers of movement. In examining the writings of early film critics and commentators in tandem with those of more specifically literary figures, including H.G.Wells and Virginia Woolf, and in bringing literary texts into… [detailed...]

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe Terministic Screen: Rhetorical Perspectives on Film examines the importance of rhetoric in the study of film and film theory. Rhetorical approaches to film studies have been widely practiced, but rarely discussed until now. Taking on such issues as Hollywood blacklisting, fascistic aesthetics, and postmodern dialogics, editor David Blakesley presents fifteen critical essays that examine rhetoric?s role in such popular films as The Fifth Element, The Last Temptation of Christ, TheUsual Suspects, Deliverance, The English Patient, Pulp Fiction, The Music Man, Copycat, Hoop Dreams and A Time to Kill. This unique volume is about seeing and interpreting, about visual rhetoric and making meaning, about film as a symbolic form of expression. The essayists convey an approach to film as a set of well-grounded theoretical perspectives including psychoanalytic, semiotic, hermeneutic, phenomenological, and cultural discourses. Aided by sixteen illustrations, these… [detailed...]

The Terror

2008 y.
Publisher: Bantam
Description: As advanced an enterprise as had ever set forth, Sir John Franklin`s 1845 expedition in search of the fabled North-West Passage had every expectation of triumph. But for almost two years his ships Terror and Erebus have been trapped in the Arctic ice. Coal and provisions are running low. Yet the real threat isn`t from the constantly shifting landscape, the flesh-numbing temperatures or the vessels being slowly crushed by the unyielding, frozen ocean. No, the real threat is far more terrifying. There is something out there in the frigid darkness, stalking the ships, snatching men - mutilating, devouring. A nameless thing, at once nowhere and everywhere, this terror has become the expedition`s nemesis. When Franklin meets a terrible death, it falls to Captain Francis Crozier of HMS Terror to take command and lead the surviving crew on a last, desperate attempt to escape south. As scurvy, starvation and madness take their toll, so the terror on the ice becomes ever more… [detailed...]

Robb Walsh
The Texas Cowboy Cookbook: A History in Recipes and Photos

2007 y.
Publisher: Broadway
Description: Texas cowboys are the stuff of legend - immortalized in ruggedly picturesque images from Madison Avenue to Hollywood. Cowboy cooking has the same romanticized mythology, with the same oversimplified reputation (think campfire coffee, cowboy steaks, and ranch dressing). In reality, the food of the Texas cattle raisers came from a wide variety of ethnicities and spans four centuries. Robb Walsh digs deep into the culinary culture of the Texas cowpunchers, beginning with the Mexican vaqueros and their chile-based cuisine. Walsh gives overdue credit to the largely unsung black cowboys (one in four cowboys was black, and many of those were cooks). Cowgirls also played a role, and there is even a chapter on Urban Cowboys and an interview with the owner of Gilley`s, setting for the John Travolta-Debra Winger film. Here are a mouthwatering variety of recipes that include campfire and chuckwagon favorites as well as the sophisticated creations of the New Cowboy Cuisine: … [detailed...]
