Ernest Hemingway - Linda Wagner Martin - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Ernest Hemingway - Linda Wagner Martin - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Ernest Hemingway: A Literary Life includes new research on the best-known of the posthumous publications: A Moveable Feast, 1964 (and the 2009 A Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition) ; Islands in the Stream , 1970; and The Garden of Eden, 1986. Linda Wagner-Martin provides background and intertextual readings-particularly of the way Hemingway''s unpublished stories ("Phillip Haines was a writer") and his fiction from Men Without Women and Winner Take Nothing interface with the memoir. The revised edition also highlights and provides background on Hemingway''s treatment of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein, his life in Paris in the 1920s, and his connection to the poetry scene there-putting this in conversation with Mary Hemingway''s edits of A Moveable Feast . The new chapters also illuminate the reception of Islands in the Stream and a new way of understanding the role of gender and androgyny in The Garden of Eden . On a whole, the book draws from extensive archival research, particularly correspondence of all four of Hemingway''s wives.

Introduction to Buddhist Economics - Ernest C. H. Ng - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Introduction to Buddhist Economics - Ernest C. H. Ng - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Living in a market-driven economy where short-term profit and economic growth appear to be the ultimate goal, this book explores how Buddhist teachings could bridge the divide between our spiritual and material needs and reconcile the tension between doing good for social interest and doing well for financial success. This book serves as a pioneering effort to systematically introduce Buddhist Economics as an interdisciplinary subject to audience with limited background in either Buddhism or economics. It elaborates some core concepts in Buddhist teachings, their relevance to economics, and means of achieving sustainability for individuals, society and the environment with the cultivation of ethical living and well-being. Through scholarly research from relevant fields including Buddhist studies, economics, behavioral finance, cognitive science, and psychology, this book illustrates the relevance of Buddhist values in the contemporary economy and society, as well as the efficacy of Buddhist perspectives on decision-making in daily life.

Aging Masculinities in Contemporary U.S. Fiction - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book focuses on representations of aging masculinities in contemporary U.S. fiction, including shifting perceptions of physical and sexual prowess, depression, and loss, but also greater wisdom and confidence, legacy, as well as new affective patterns. The collection also incorporates factors such as race, sexuality and religion. The volume includes studies, amongst others, on Philip Roth, Paul Auster, Toni Morrison, Ernest Gaines, and Edmund White. Ultimately, this study proves that men''s aging experiences as described in contemporary U.S. literature and culture are as complex and varied as those of their female counterparts.

The Rites of Cricket and Caribbean Literature - Claire Westall - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Rites of Cricket and Caribbean Literature - Claire Westall - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book analyses cricket''s place in Anglophone Caribbean literature. It examines works by canonical authors - Brathwaite, Lamming, Lovelace, Naipaul, Phillips and Selvon - and by understudied writers - including Agard, Fergus, John, Keens-Douglas, Khan and Markham. It tackles short stories, novels, poetry, drama and film from the Caribbean and its diaspora. Its literary readings are couched in the history of Caribbean cricket and studies by Hilary Beckles and Gordon Rohlehr. C.L.R James'' foundational Beyond a Boundary provides its theoretical grounding. Literary depictions of iconic West Indies players - including Constantine, Headley, Worrell, Walcott, Sobers, Richards, and Lara - feature throughout. The discussion focuses on masculinity, heroism, father-son dynamics, physical performativity and aesthetic style. Attention is also paid to mother-daughter relations and female engagement with cricket, with examples from Anim-Addo, Breeze, Wynter and others. Cricket holds a prominent place in the history, culture, politics and popular imaginary of the Caribbean. This book demonstrates that it also holds a significant and complicated place in Anglophone Caribbean literature.

The Preface - Ross K. Tangedal - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Preface - Ross K. Tangedal - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Building on insights from the fields of textual criticism, bibliography, narratology, authorship studies, and book history, The Preface: American Authorship in the Twentieth Century examines the role that prefaces played in the development of professional authorship in America. Many of the prefaces written by American writers in the twentieth century catalogue the shifting landscape of a more self-consciously professionalized trade, one fraught with tension and compromise, and influenced by evolving reading publics. With analyses of Willa Cather, Ring Lardner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Robert Penn Warren, and Toni Morrison, Ross K. Tangedal argues that writers used prefaces as a means of expanding and complicating authority over their work and, ultimately, as a way to write about their careers. Tangedal''s approach offers a new way of examining American writers in the evolving literary marketplace of the twentieth century.

Hemingway and the Spanish Civil War - Gilbert H. Muller - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Hemingway and the Spanish Civil War - Gilbert H. Muller - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

During the 1930s, no event was more absorbing or galvanizing to Ernest Hemingway than the Spanish Civil War. Hemingway was passionately devoted to the cause of the democratically elected Spanish Republic and he spent much of the war reporting from its front lines, producing a deeply political body of work that illuminated the conflict and presaged the world war to come. In the end, his immersive journey into the turbulent world of the Spanish Civil War resulted in For Whom the Bell Tolls , a landmark in American political fiction. This book offers a fresh account of Hemingway''s adventures in Spain during the Civil War, stressing his embrace of radical political action and discourse in defense of the Republic against the forces of Fascism. On the eightieth anniversary of For Whom the Bell Tolls , Gilbert H. Muller reconsiders Hemingway as an engaged artist, political actor, and visionary.
