Sonnets from the Crimea - Enriched edition

Adam Mickiewicz

Beschreibung

In "Sonnets from the Crimea," Adam Mickiewicz presents a poignant exploration of love, nature, and the complexities of the human experience against the backdrop of the tumultuous Crimean landscape. Written during a period of personal loss and national upheaval, these sonnets intertwine lyrical beauty with profound emotional depth, employing a rich tapestry of imagery that reflects both Romantic ideals and a unique sense of place. The collection is marked by an interplay of light and shadow, capturing the duality of conflict and peace that defines the Crimean region's history. Mickiewicz, a central figure of Polish Romanticism, draws upon his experiences as an expatriate and a passionate advocate for Polish independence to infuse his poetry with a sense of longing and nostalgia. His travels to Crimea not only inspired these sonnets but also resonate with the broader themes of displacement and identity that permeate his oeuvre. With influences from classic poets and an acute awareness of the sociopolitical climate of his time, Mickiewicz melds personal reflections with universal truths. Readers seeking a rich, evocative exploration of love and longing will find "Sonnets from the Crimea" to be an indispensable addition to their literary repertoire. Its masterful blend of emotional resonance and cultural context offers insights into both the individual soul and national identity, making it a compelling read for lovers of poetry and history alike.

Tender Buttons

Gertrude Stein

A classic work of experimental poetry by a titan of modernist literatureTender Buttons, Stein’s first published work of poetry, debuted in 1914 as a volume of powerful avant-garde expression. This meditation on ordinary living is presented in three compelling sections—“Objects,” “Food,” and “Rooms”—through which Stein delights in experiments with language. Emphasizing rhythm and sonority over traditional grammar, Stein’s wordplay has garnered praise from readers and critics alike. In “A Piece of Coffee,” for example, Stein plays with conventional language and cubist imagery to produce a stunningly original literary effect:A single image is not splendor. Dirty is yellow. A sign of more is not mentioned. A piece of coffee is not a detainer. The resemblance to yellow is dirtier and distincter. The clean mixture is whiter and not coal color, never more coal color than altogether.   This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

A Hole in the Story - A Novel

Ken Kalfus

At his desk one day, prominent Washington commentator Adam Zweig receives a text message. "Btw want to give you a heads-up abt some breaking news," it reads. "Call soonest." These are the early rumblings of an eventual media storm generated by small-town reporter Valerie Iovine, who has gone public with her account of sexual harassment at the hands of esteemed editor and liberal icon Max Lieberthol. Twenty years have passed since the incident, and though Adam wasn't directly involved, he quickly finds himself implicated and entangled, his career under imminent threat. 
 
Adam has never forgotten his history with Valerie: as former colleagues, their workplace collaboration had gradually tipped into a mutual romantic attraction. Or so he believed. Confronted by the claims against his former boss and a growing awareness of rampant sexism in his industry, Adam, who had always thought of himself as progressive, is forced to challenge his own assumptions over the years. What once seemed incidental becomes sinister; what once seemed like a blundering encounter helped derail a young woman's promising career. 
 
Sly and ironic, A Hole in the Story explores one imperfect man's dilemmas as he tries to keep his feet in a shifting moral landscape.
