Anguish
Author: Graciliano Ramos
Publisher: CONVIVIVM EDITORIAL
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
"Anguish" is a novel written by Graciliano Ramos, in which the narrator, Luís da Silva, a frustrated public servant and writer, turns to the past to deal with his anguish caused by the end of his engagement to Marina, who is now committed to Julião Tavares. The story shows how the permanent dissatisfaction with the present leads Luís to do a self-analysis and focus on his memories, which include a childhood of distant affections, sexual and professional frustrations. The narrative shows Luis's struggle to achieve professional and romantic success, but it is marked by constant disillusionment and lack of perspective. As connections with other characters grow, a drama unfolds inside the narrator's mind, leading to an outcome that will reflect in the narrator's frenzied thoughts. Memories and reality change from line to line. The reader should pay attention, as the stream of consciousness, in a chaotic inner monologue, sometimes seems like a mess, but it is not. The thread is there. The narration mixes past and present in the same paragraph and even in the same sentence. One moment, walking on the street, something he sees reminds him of something from childhood, and off we go, to then read a dialogue with someone in the present.

Pages : 343
Book Description
Growing up in a tiny shack in the Dominican Republic, Felipe Alou never dreamed he would be the first man born and raised in his country to play and manage in Major League Baseball—and also the first to play in the World Series. In this extraordinary autobiography, Alou tells of his real dream to become a doctor, and an improbable turn of events that led to the pro contract.

Alou played seventeen years in the Major Leagues, accumulating more than two thousand hits and two hundred home runs, and then managed for another fourteen years—four with the San Francisco Giants and ten with the Montreal Expos, where he became the winningest manager in franchise history. Alou’s pioneering journey is embedded in the history of baseball, the Dominican Republic, and a remarkable family.

Moses and Monotheism
Author: Sigmund Freud
Publisher: Leonardo Paolo Lovari
ISBN: 8898301790
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
The book consists of three essays and is an extension of Freud’s work on psychoanalytic theory as a means of generating hypotheses about historical events. Freud hypothesizes that Moses was not Hebrew, but actually born into Ancient Egyptian nobility and was probably a follower of Akhenaten, an ancient Egyptian monotheist. Freud contradicts the biblical story of Moses with his own retelling of events, claiming that Moses only led his close followers into freedom during an unstable period in Egyptian history after Akhenaten (ca. 1350 BCE) and that they subsequently killed Moses in rebellion and later combined with another monotheistic tribe in Midian based on a volcanic God, Jahweh. Freud explains that years after the murder of Moses, the rebels regretted their action, thus forming the concept of the Messiah as a hope for the return of Moses as the Saviour of the Israelites. Freud said that the guilt from the murder of Moses is inherited through the generations; this guilt then drives the Jews to religion to make them feel better.
