Letters from Europe and Africa, 1924-1926
Author: Harold S Meyer
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781671991347
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
In the winter of 1924, two teenagers from the American Midwest set sail for Europe, bound for Hamburg, Germany where they would live with relatives and go to school. Their mother kept all the letters and postcards they wrote home and years later transcribed and copied them. This is a collection of all their letters, illustrated with their own photographs and postcards they bought while abroad. It's an intimate look at Weimar-era Germany from the perspective of two curious and observant young men. In addition to detailed descriptions of everyday life with their extended family in Hamburg, the letters also describe travels around Germany, and one of the brothers' additional visit to Casablanca, in French-ruled Morocco.

Book Description
Excerpt from Letters From Abroad A few miles from the former place, we passed a picturesque gorge, which forms the present frontier between France and Italy. Characteristic differences soon appear, not in the country, as I have said, but in the prevalence of the Italian language in the notices on the walls and the names of the shops. The French authorities are doing all they can to banish the Italian from the annexed provinces. They will allow the celperz'ezcm, for instance, a license to sell Protestant bibles in French, but not in Italian.

The Quorum
Henry Alsberg
Author: Susan Rubenstein DeMasi
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476626014
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
During the Great Depression, Henry Alsberg, a journalist with a passion for social justice, directed the Federal Writers' Project, a New Deal program of the Works Progress Administration. Under his guidance, thousands of unemployed writers were hired. Despite attacks from the House Committee on Un-American Activities, the Project produced more than 1,000 publications from 1935 to 1939, including the still highly acclaimed American Guide series. Some writers, such as Richard Wright, went on to storied careers. Alsberg led the Project's collection of more than 10,000 oral histories from ex-slaves, immigrants and others. Alsberg was also a leader in the struggle to save Jewish pogrom survivors in Eastern Europe. Later, he initiated the first major effort to assist international political prisoners. His friends included anarchist revolutionary Emma Goldman and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter. This book brings Alsberg to light as an important but forgotten figure of the 20th century.

Rabindranath Tagore
Author: Dr. S. Radhakrishnan
Publisher: Sahitya Akademi
ISBN: 9788172013325
Category : TAGORE, RABINDRANATH-BIOGRAPHY.
Languages : en
Pages : 532
Book Description
This Volume Was An Offering To The Memory Of Rabindranath Tagore On The Occasion Of The Centenary Of His Birth. If The Best Homage To A Great Man Is To Be Paid Through An Understanding Of The Significance Of His Life And Work, This Publication Should Help Inspire Such A Homage Of Understanding. This Reprint Of The Book; Undertaken To Mark The 125Th Birth Anniversary Of The Poet, Will Bring Once Again To The Collective Consciousness Of A New Generation Of Men And Women The Memory Of A Greatness Which Was Amazing In Its Versality And Universal In Its Integrated Vision Of Life. Rabindranath Has Not Only Been A One-Man Synthesis Of The Old And The New, The Ancient And Modern, But He Has Also Been, Because Of His Extra-Ordinary Catholicity Of Mind, A Leading Light To The World Struggling To Be Reborn Into Sanity. Great Poets, It Is Said, Are For Ever Our Contemporaries And Some Of The Essays In This Volume Should Hopefully Drive Home The Relevance Of Rabindranath And All That He Stood For, As A Corrective To Our Age Of Cynic Despair. The Volume Contains Valuable Studies On The Many Aspects Of TagoreýS Personality And Genius Contributed By Eminent Writers And Scholars From Many Parts Of The World. There Are, Besides, A Full And Comprehensive Chronicle Of The PoetýS Life, From Year To Year, And A Bibliography Of His Publications In Bengali And English. Reproductions In Colour Of Some Famous Portraits Of The Poet By Distinguished Artists Add To The Value Of This Publication Which Is As Much A Tribute To The Genius Of Tagore As A Guide To Its Comprehension.
