Beschreibung

In "Red Pepper Burns," Grace S. Richmond intricately weaves a narrative that explores the tensions between aspiration and reality within a small-town community. The protagonist, Red Pepper, is a passionate and idealistic young man who grapples with his artistic ambitions against the backdrop of mundane yet vivid town life. Richmond's literary style is imbued with rich descriptions and a keen psychological insight into her characters, effectively capturing the pulse of early 20th-century America, while also reflecting the culture's evolving notions of success and identity. The book navigates the complexities of friendship, love, and ambition with an intimate and often humorous tone, illustrating the universal quest for meaning in the human experience. Grace S. Richmond, hailed as an influential figure in American literature, often drew from her own experiences in family life and small-town dynamics to shape her narratives. Born in 1870, Richmond emerged into a literary landscape characterized by rapid societal change, which undoubtedly informed her compelling portrayal of characters struggling with their own desires and societal expectations. Her deep connections to her community provided the authentic backdrop for "Red Pepper Burns," illustrating her keen understanding of interpersonal relationships. Richmond's "Red Pepper Burns" is a profound exploration that resonates with anyone who has ever felt the burning desire to pursue their dreams while facing the constraints of societal norms. Recommended for readers who enjoy character-driven narratives filled with emotional depth and social commentary, this work is both a poignant reflection on personal growth and a vivid depiction of the American spirit.

    Volume 2 in The Dung Beetles of Liberia series. In April of 1979, Ken Verrier and his wife, Sam, return to Liberia to buy diamonds. They did not return to get caught up in a rice riot and a coup de'etat. But that's what happens. Ken witnesses and unwittingly participates in a period of Liberia's tumultuous yet poorly documented history---the overthrow of the Tolbert presidency and ultimately the end of the Americo-Liberian one hundred thirty-three years of political and social dominance. Details of President Tolbert's assassination are sketchy, but through Ken's association with his Americo friends from the past, the CIA agents he meets, and the Liberian military he is forced to deal with, a believable scenario emerges. While describing the once beautiful country and a kind and generous people, Meier intertwines terrifying tales of the atrocities committed that account for the future pain of an entire nation.

    Ethan Frome is Edith Wharton’s masterful tale of isolation, duty, and forbidden longing set against the stark backdrop of rural New England. In the frozen town of Starkfield, Massachusetts, the quiet and physically broken Ethan Frome toils through a bleak existence alongside his cold, hypochondriac wife, Zeena. When her cousin Mattie Silver arrives to help care for Zeena, Ethan finds himself drawn to her warmth and vitality. As their connection deepens, an impossible choice brews beneath the surface—between passion and obligation, between escape and sacrifice. 
    Told through the eyes of an unnamed outsider who uncovers the tragic story piece by piece, Ethan Frome explores the crushing power of social expectations and the irreversible consequences of a single decision. With its haunting atmosphere and poignant psychological insight, this novella remains one of Wharton’s most enduring and heartbreaking works.
