Sinopse

In "Rainbow Valley," L. M. Montgomery continues the beloved story of Anne Shirley and her family, weaving a narrative rich with themes of childhood, community, and the passage of time. Set within the idyllic backdrop of Avonlea, the novel captures the innocence of youth through the lens of the Blythe children and their lively encounters with the new settlers, the Merediths. Montgomery's characteristic lyrical prose and vivid descriptions breathe life into Prince Edward Island's landscapes, intricately exploring the emotional lives of her characters while intertwining humor with poignant moments of personal growth and moral lessons. This installment serves not only as a continuation of Anne's life but also delves into the vibrant community dynamics that shape the children's experiences. L. M. Montgomery, born on November 30, 1874, in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, drew inspiration from her own childhood experiences and the rich tapestry of her local environment. Her personal challenges, including her struggle with isolation and familial duty, influenced her depiction of character relationships and the quest for belonging in "Rainbow Valley." Writing in the early 20th century, Montgomery was attuned to the shifting societal structures and the emergence of rural Canadian identity, themes that resonate throughout her works. Readers of all ages will find "Rainbow Valley" a delightful exploration of friendship, adventure, and the unbreakable bonds of family. This charming novel offers profound insights wrapped in an engaging narrative that invites contemplation on the joys and trials of growing up. Montgomery's timeless storytelling continues to resonate, making this book a must-read for anyone seeking solace and inspiration in the enchanting world of Anne of Green Gables.

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.
