Author: Alison Leslie Gold
File Type: epub
A luminous memoir from the Holocaust writer, Alison Leslie Gold, told through a series of letters to the living and the dead. Alison Leslie Gold is best known for her works that have kept alive stories from the time of the Holocaust, stories of courage and survival - most famously herAnne Frank Remembered, co-authored with Miep Gies (who risked her life to protect the Frank family). She has never chosen to write about her own life or what made her into a gatherer of other peoples stories, until now, inFound and Lost. Starting with her childhood experience of running her primary school Lost and Found depot, Gold charts the origin of her need to save objects, stories, people - including herself - whom she has sensed to be on a road to perdition. After a series of deaths of people close to her (mother, lover, mentor, friend), she develops, though a series of letters, a meditation on aging, friendship, loss and the forces that link us to the dead. The letters tell of her early activism her descent into alcoholism and subsequent recovery and they tell of her discovery of the power of writing to give shape and meaning to a life.Found and Lostis both a tender memorial to the extraordinary people in her life, and a compelling tale of redemption.*ReviewLet us give recognition to Alison Gold. Without her and her talent, too, this poignant account, vibrating with humanity, would not have been written. Elie Wiesel on Anne Frank RememberedAbout the Author Alison Leslie Golds works include Anne Frank Remembered, written with Miep Gies, Memories of Anne Frank Reflections of a Childhood Friend, A Special Fate and Fiets Vase and Other Stories of Survival. Her non-fiction work has received numerous tributes including a Best of the Best Award, a Notable Book for a Global Society Award and a Christopher Award. She has also published fiction, including Clairvoyant and The Devils Mistress, the latter being nominated for a National Book Award. She divides her time between New York City and Greece.

WARFA
149094
Author: Hugh Kennedy
File Type: pdf
The Middle East has a poetic record stretching back five millennia. In this unique book, leading scholars draw upon this legacy to explore the ways in which poets, from the third millennium BC to the present day, have responded to the effects of war. They deal with material in a wide variety of languages including Sumerian, Hittite, Akkadian, biblical and modern Hebrew, and classical and contemporary Arabic and range from the destruction of Ur in 1940 BC to the poetry of Hamas and Hezbollah. Some poems are heroic in tone, celebrating victory and the prowess of warriors, others reflect keenly on the suffering that war causes. The result is a work that offers fresh insights into the poetry of the Middle East and provides a unique reflection of the ways in which this most violent and pervasive of human activities has been reflected in different cultures.

THE B
122227
Author: Scott Lucas
File Type: pdf
Since his death in 1950, George Orwell has been canonised as Englands foremost political writer, and the standard-bearer of honesty and decency for the honourable Left. In this controversial polemic, Scott Lucas argues that the exaltation of Orwell, far from upholding dissent against the State, has sought to quash such opposition. Indeed, Orwell has become the icon of those who, in the pose of the contrarian, try to silence public opposition to US and U K foreign policy in the War on Terror. Lucass lively and readable critique of public intellectuals including Christopher Hitchens, Michael Walzer, David Aaronovitch, and Johann Hari - who have all invoked Orwellian honesty and decency to shut down dissent - will appeal to anyone disillusioned with the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Lucas contends that these leading journalists and commentators have used Orwell to justify their own political transition from radicals to upholders of the establishment. All of them play influential roles in supporting the UK and US governments charge that opponents of war -- and those who question the motives behind American foreign policy and its implementation -- should be condemned as appeasers of mass murder. This controversial book shows how Orwell has been used since 911 to justify, in the guise of independent thought, the suppression of dissent. We must rescue ourselves from Orwell and from those who take on his guise so, as Lucas puts it, our silencing is. . . vital to a manufacture of consent for the wars which are supposedly being fought in our name and for our good.

POETR

Author: Mara Scanlon
File Type: pdf
Although common conceptions of poetry assume a voice that is solitary, personal, or authoritative -a monologue that readers can only overhear and accede to - this volume presupposes that poetry may be dialogic. The essays posit various foundations, gradations, and practices of poetic dialogism theorize a diverse scope and purpose of dialogic poetry, from secluded prayer to political activism and examine subgenres of poetry as well as discourses from the Bible to Amos n Andy. In doing so, they contribute to the field of ethics and literature as well, insisting that poetry may be even profoundly oriented toward an Other, whether that dialogism is traceable in speech acts in differentiated consciousnesses, ideologies, discourses, languages, or allusions in the rhythm, intonation, or formal devices that encode such exchange or in the production or reception of the poem. What does dialogic poetry look like - or is it the poetry weve known all along? **

PLATO

Author: Plato
File Type: pdf
First published in 2000, this translation of one of the great works of Western political thought is based on the assumption that when Plato chose the dialogue form for his writing, he intended these dialogues to sound like conversations - although conversations of a philosophical sort. In addition to a vivid, dignified and accurate rendition of Platos text, the student and general reader will find many aids to comprehension in this volume an introduction that assesses the cultural background to the Republic, its place within political philosophy, and its general argument succinct notes in the body of the text an analytical summary of the works content a full glossary of proper names a chronology of important events and a guide to further reading. The result is an accomplished and accessible edition of this seminal work, suitable for philosophers and classicists as well as historians of political thought at all levels.**
