The Never End
Author: John Reed
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9819907659
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
This book presents full history of the origin of Orwell’s Animal Farm, as well as a translation of the Russuian/Ukranian source work. Has George Orwell lost his saintly luster? In The Never End, rabble-rouser, dogged investigator, and consummate literary stylist John Reed collects two decades of subject-Orwell findings previously published in Pank, Guernica, Literary Hub, The Brooklyn Rail, The Rumpus, The New York Press, The Believer, Harper’s Magazine and The Paris Review. Reed’s treatment of Orwell is corrective and peerlessly contemporary; he views Orwell in a twenty-first century global context, considering Orwell’s collaboration with Cold War intelligence operations—US and UK—with unfaltering objectivity. It’s hard to imagine that Orwell—in our own moment of global doublethink—wouldn’t have wanted his devotion to contrariety applied to the literary legacy he left behind. The Never End is at once a hatchet job and a celebration. Animal Farm, based on a previously unknown Russian short story? Animal Farm, deployed by the CIA, MI6 and the Congress for Cultural Freedom? Orwell, turning over blacklists in a McCarthy-esque act of betrayal? The Cold War? Does it last forever? Russia, the “Axis of Evil,” and now China? But. Orwell. Course syllabi. Literary laurels. Snitch. Why do we keep coming back? For the wrong reasons? Or because we know Old Benjamin would want us to know the truth?

Pages : 81
Book Description
My final poetry book took a sharp turn that was not expected but did happen. An amazing revelation of a mystery unveils while in the middle of compiling the book at hand. The image portrayed here is that of the impact we have on each other. I felt compelled to share this with everyone reading this book. Being an author is not based on the number of books one has written but rather, the impact you have and had on others. The book contains some interesting moments that will give you credit. I must say, there are some moments of pain, especially when some of us remember the shooting that happened a few years ago at Dawson College. I must say that I saw all the good memories that were left by the girl who was short to death. It is through her that I realized the previously stated statement that portrays an author. The most wonderful thing that you will get from reading this book or the previous ones is, you will be spiritually up lifted, encouraged, inspired, motivated and blessed beyond measure. Above all, you will see God’s love and grace for you.

A Council that Will Never End
Author: Paul Lakeland
Publisher: Liturgical Press
ISBN: 0814680666
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Lumen Gentium, Vatican II's Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, changed how the church thinks about the laity, holiness, baptism, and even the nature and purpose of the church itself. In A Council That Will Never End, the highly regarded ecclesiologist Paul Lakeland marks the fiftieth anniversary of this document's promulgation by taking up three major themes of the constitution, analyzing the text, and identifying some of the questions with which it leaves us. Lakeland is convinced that Lumen Gentium leaves much unfinished business (as any historical document must), that attending to it will take us beyond much of the now sterile ecclesial divisions, and that the ecclesiology of humility it implies marks the way that theology must guide the church in the years ahead.

Why Some Wars Never End
Author: Joseph Cummins
Publisher: Quarto Publishing Group USA
ISBN: 1610593863
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
Fourteen of history’s longest-running military conflicts, from the Greco-Persian Wars to the Sudanese Civil War. Sometimes the causes of war are so intractable, the opponents so unyielding, and the rivalries so deep-rooted that the combat continues for years, decades, even centuries. And often when it does abate, the resentments still smolder, so that the slightest spark might reignite the conflagration. An at once captivating and unsettling volume, Why Some Wars Never End shines a spotlight on fourteen of history’s longest-running conflicts. They range from the almost century-long Punic Wars, which saw ancient Rome achieve dominance over the Mediterranean and lay the foundations of its world-changing empire, to the seventy years of uprisings and bloody encounters that triggered the Jewish Diaspora in the second century CE, to the nineteenth-century Seminole Wars, which virtually wiped out the Seminole Indians, to the violent British suppression of Afghan self-rule that set the stage for that nation’s distressing contemporary plight. Each of these wars had consequences and influences far beyond its source and the reach of its battles, not only redrawing political boundaries, but also coloring the worldview of generations of participants and bystanders, and thereby refashioning entire cultures. And all demonstrate, in harrowing fashion, why violence still stains our modern world, and why warfare shows no sign of ending any time soon. Praise for Joseph Cummins “This book is worthy of a place in the libraries of historians and politicians alike. Its stories of the past warn us about the future. Recommended.” —Armchair General on The World’s Bloodiest History “Gripping stories and lively writing.” —Library Journal on History’s Greatest Untold Stories

The Summer Nights Never End... Until They Do
Author: Robert James Waller
Publisher: Traders Press
ISBN: 1934354252
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
You may know Robert James Waller as the man who brought the world to Iowa's storied covered bridges. What you may not realize is that before and since becoming an internationally acclaimed novelist, Waller has grappled with a very real puzzle: How can an individual, a group, and/or a society cut through the confusion of everyday life to successfully navigate its pitfalls and traps? Through intense reflection, shrewd reasoning, and not a little trial and error, the reclusive author has developed a unique and inventive paradigm for thinking clearly and logically. In The Summer Nights Never End Until they Do, Waller shares a methodology can be applied to everything from governmental gaffs and immigration reform to losing weight and financial freedom. Like so many things that make sense, Waller's words are complex in their simplicity, turn from the madness of short-term, quick fixes and toward time-tested, reasonable goals. The devil is in the details. So, too, are the answers.

The Book That Never Ends is designed to help form a bridge between you and your goals. We live in a time where the importance of our work drives out the concern for human need. In our work-consumed lives, many things become objects of worship instead of a reminder of whom to worship. This illusory ideology has fooled us into thinking that false idols will grant us joy. Earthly satisfactions have consumed our complex brains with simplicity and mediocrity. Therefore, those who yearn for substance; this book is dedicated to you. This book will provide you with something more precious than silver and gold. Proverbs 16:16 - How much better to get wisdom than gold and good judgment than silver! (New Living Translation)
