The Astral
Author: Kate ChristensenPublisher: Anchor
ISBN: 030747335X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
In the gentrifying neighborhood of Greenpoint, Brooklyn, rests a huge rose-colored apartment building called The Astral. For decades it was the happy home of the poet Harry Quirk, his wife, Luz, and their two children: Karina, now a fervent freegan, and Hector, now in the clutches of a cultish Christian community. But when Luz finds poems that ignite her long-simmering suspicions of infidelity, Harry is summarily kicked out, leaving him to reckon with the consequence of his literary, marital, and parental failures. With tremendous grace and acute perception, Kate Christensen details Harry’s floundering attempts to find his way back into Luz’s arms—and back to his better self—in a novel that is funny, bittersweet, and terrifically moving.

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
This book charts the life and times of Captain William Adams who lived in the period of 1564 to 1620. Adam himself wrote little; his letters and logs, while vivid and valuable, would convey too little about the eventful years between 1600 and 1620 on their own. Other sources, such as thevarious writings of other Europeans in Japan, complete the tale. Including mentions of significant historical events, for example in 1588 William Adams commands a supply ship, the ‘Richard Dygylde’, at the time of Philip II of Spain's attempted invasion of England, the Enterprise of England (the Spanish Armada) and in 1600 The first Dutch ship (Liefde) arrives in Japan. William Adams is taken before Tokugawa Leyasu and questioned;he explains that Holland and England are at war with Spain and Portugal. Leyasu declines the Portuguese suggestion that he execute the Liefde's crew.
