Genji is the favorite son of the emperor but also a man of dangerously passionate impulses. The Heian era (794-1185) is recognized as one of the very greatest periods in Japanese literature, and The Tale of Genji is not only the unquestioned prose masterpiece of that period but also the most lively and absorbing account we have of the intricate, exquisite, highly ordered court culture that made such a masterpiece possible. In the early eleventh century Murasaki Shikibu, a lady in the Heian court of Japan, wrote what many consider to be the world’s first novel, more than three centuries before Chaucer. ![]() ![]() ![]() He later remarked that he considered Gandhi to be “the greatest Christian of the modern world ” (King, 23 June 1962). ![]() King situated Gandhi’s ideas of nonviolent direct action in the larger framework of Christianity, declaring that “Christ showed us the way and Gandhi in India showed it could work ” (Rowland, “2,500 Here Hail Boycott Leader ”). In 1950, King heard Mordecai Johnson, president of Howard University, speak of his recent trip to India and Gandhi’s nonviolent resistance techniques. In a talk prepared for George Davis’ class, Christian Theology for Today, King included Gandhi among “individuals who greatly reveal the working of the Spirit of God ” ( Papers 1:249). King first encountered Gandhian ideas during his studies at Crozer Theological Seminary. A testament to the revolutionary power of nonviolence, Gandhi’s approach directly influenced Martin Luther King, Jr., who argued that the Gandhian philosophy was “the only morally and practically sound method open to oppressed people in their struggle for freedom ” ( Papers 4:478). Gandhi protested against racism in South Africa and colonial rule in India using nonviolent resistance. Gandhi was hailed by the London Times as “the most influential figure India has produced for generations” (“Mr. Bob Fitch photography archive, © Stanford University Libraries ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Many of these attacks questioned Buck's authenticity and entitlement, arguing that no matter how long Pearl Buck lived in China or how well she knew the culture, she was still a foreigner, and thus not entitled to render judgements on Chinese ways. From small details such as how tea is made in China, to larger topics such as the relationship between slaves and masters, many disputed the novel's accuracy. Some Chinese critics of the book disapproved of Buck's portrayal of China. ![]() The saga is written in a simple style, which belies the complex nature of the work. Thus, its impact was felt not only in the United States, where it was published, but also in China. It speaks of family, of values, of politics, of tradition. The appeal of The Good Earth lies in its wide array of topics and themes. The Good Earth was based on a short story the author had published in an issue of Asia magazine entitled: "The Revolutionist." The story introduced the character of Wang Lung and vague outlined the novel's eventual structure. Buck won the Pulitzer Prize for this work in 1932. The novel has been translated into more than thirty different languages. ![]() It was an immediate hit and has remained Buck's most well-known text. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lois took time from her busy promotional schedule to answer questions from Rose City Reader.

She is a regular contributor to Disunion, the New York Times coverage of the sesquicentennial of the Civil War, and her poetry and essays have appeared in numerous books, literary journals, and on NPR. ![]() A confirmed book geek, Lois earned degrees in history and literature from Harvard, the University of Southern California, and UCLA, and taught at UCLA and at Reed College. The book was released this week, to glowing reviews in The Oregonian and others (see here, here, and here, for example).ĪUTHOR BIO: Award-winning author Lois Leveen dwells in the spaces where literature and history meet. ![]() Based on true events, this is the remarkable story of a former slave who spied on the Confederates during the Civil War.

In this delightfully charming teen spin on You've Got Mail, the one guy Bailey Rydell can't stand is actually the boy of her dreams - she just doesn't know it yet.Ĭlassic movie buff Bailey "Mink" Rydell has spent months crushing on a witty film geek she only knows online by "Alex." Two coasts separate the teens until Bailey moves in with her dad, who lives in the same California surfing town as her online crush.įaced with doubts (what if he's a creep in real life - or worse?), Bailey doesn't tell Alex she's moved to his hometown. ![]() ![]() ![]() Knowing how stubborn and proud Suzanne is, Ryder is aware that it won’t be an easy task. Now all he has to do is convince her of that. From the moment he first met her six years before, he knew she was the one for him and even though they constantly bickered, he enjoyed being married to her. After all, he still has a thing for her and always has. Ryder doesn’t take the news that he and Suzanne are still married as hard as she does. ![]() Suzanne did not need this on top of the stress of planning a wedding that will take place the following month-right before Christmas. Except she and Ryder discover that they’re not really divorced! Apparently, Ryder missed a long ago court appearance, so they are still legally married. The only drawbacks being that the bride is a brainless twit and the best man is Suzanne’s ex-husband. Luckily, she is immediately offered the chance to plan a prestigious wedding, which includes a hefty advance. After realizing she is flat broke, Suzanne gives up her beloved charity work to return to the wedding planning business. ![]() The two have since remained on friendly terms as they have so many mutual friends in the race car industry. Two years ago, Suzanne and Ryder Jefferson’s marriage fell apart and the couple divorced after four years of marriage. ![]() ![]() (Shortform note: Owens doesn’t mention the NRA’s institution of a separate and lower wage scale for Black workers. ![]() For example, power was given to unions that arbitrarily refused Black workers, and skill mandates for minimum wages kept Black workers from being hired even by companies who were willing to have them. The National Recovery Administration (NRA) enacted several policies, including a minimum wage, that effectively barred Black workers from employment. Owens explains that the enactment of a minimum wage counterintuitively hurt Black employment. His New Deal was seen as an early success: Between FDR’s first election in 1932 and his re-election in 1936, unemployment rates as a whole dropped from 24.9% to 16.9%.) ![]() (Shortform note: The 1936 election between FDR and Republican candidate Alf Landon was a landslide victory, in no small part to the 71% of Black voters who decided to vote Democrat. ![]() ![]() ![]() Even with her sharp half-Fae hearing, she couldn’t make out much beyond the iron door save for the occasional banging fist. With no exterior windows, the gallery’s extensive surveillance equipment served as her only warning of who stood beyond its thick walls. ![]() ![]() “You’d know if you ever picked up a book, Danika.” Glad for the break in what had been a morning of tedious research, Bryce smiled as she rose from the desk. She wiped at it with a filthy hand, smearing the black liquid splattered there. “What the fuck does rootling mean?” Danika hopped from foot to foot, sweat gleaming on her brow. Tucking a strand of her wine-red hair behind a pointed ear, she asked into the intercom, “Why are you covered in dirt? You look like you’ve been rootling through the garbage.” Seated at the desk in the modest gallery showroom, Bryce smirked and pulled up the front door’s video feed. A heartbeat later, a female voice barked, half-muffled through the steel, “Open the Hel up, B. The heavy metal door to Griffin Antiquities thudded with the impact of the wolf’s fist-a fist that Bryce knew ended in metallic-purple painted nails in dire need of a manicure. Which meant it must be Thursday, which meant Bryce had to be really gods-damned tired if she relied on Danika’s comings and goings to figure out what day it was. ![]() ![]() ![]() Stream & download with: Hoopla (ebook), Media on Demand & Libby (ebook)įind all available formats in the catalog » Red at the Bone by Jacqueline Woodson ![]() Why you should try it: While Larsen's most famous novel, Passing, is most closely related to The Vanishing Half, all of her stories explore themes of race and finding one's place in the world.ĭescription: Gathers three stories and two novels by Larsen, an influential writer of the Harlem Renaissance, including Passing, about a light-skinned beauty who has spent years passing as white, and Quicksand, in which a young mulatto searches for a place she can call home. ![]() The Vanishing Half read-alikes The Complete Fiction of Nella Larsen by Nella Larsen Don’t fret!
