Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2,3 (B), http://www.uni-jena.de/ (Institut für Anglistics/American Studies), language: English, abstract: “A Worn Path” written by Eudora Welty was first published within her volume of short stories “A Curtain of Green” in 1941.1 It is a story about life in its purest naturalism. Welty ́s main character is the old Negro woman Phoenix Jackson. With her tremendous self-sacrifice and the love for her little grandson she frequently goes on an adventurous journey from the old Natchez Trace into town to get some medicine for her grandchild who swallowed lye some years ago and is frequently suffering from sore throat. But more than one could think of the story is a metaphor for the way of life that everyone of us has to go. The story ́s path expresses the hard journey of life – the journey, even Eudora Welty speaks about when being asked about the unsolved fate of the grandson: “But it is the journey, the going of the errand, that is the story, and the question is not whether the grandchild is in reality alive or dead.”2 This can be easily compared to the path of life and to the fact that it ́s result is less important than the path itself. 1 Kreyling, Michael.

Book Description
"From the publishers of a popular series of building books comes Small Homes, which is highly relevant for these times. Getting smaller, rather than larger. Some 75 builders share their knowledge of building and design, with artistic, practical, and/or economical homes in the United States, Canada, England, Scotland, France, Germany, Spain, New Zealand and Lithuania. This is the seventh in a series of highly-graphic books on homemade building, all of which are interrelated. The series, "The Shelter Library Of Building Books," include Shelter, Shelter II (1978), Home Work (2004), Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008), Tiny Homes (2012), and Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Each of these books has over 1,000 photos, and each 2-page spread is carefully laid out with respect to balance of graphics and clarity of information. A running theme with them is that people have been inspired by one book to build their own home, and this will be included in a subsequent book. For example, many of the homes in Home Work were inspired by Shelter. And so on. The underlying theme with Shelter's books, which has continued for over 40 years, is that it's possible for you to create your own home with your own hands, using natural materials. Some of these homes are in the country, some in small towns, and some in large cities"--
