Book Description
Upon publication in 1895, Gabriele Reuter's From a Good Family (Aus guter Familie) became something of a cultural event, making its author one of Germany's most talked-about women of letters. Set in the first two decades of the Second German Reich, this story of a Prussian bureaucrat's daughter caught between conformity and rebellion struck at the core of the class that upheld the empire, revealing the hypocrisy and misery at the very heart of the bourgeois family. It recorded the conflicted and ultimately interminable adolescence of a middle-class girl who failed to fulfill the destiny prescribed for her by her gender and class, a young woman who, despite an incipient high-spiritedness and independence of mind, internalized the attitudes of her culture to the point of lethal self-censorship. Gabriele Reuter (1859-1941) began writing in her teens but did not experience a literary and commercial breakthrough until the publication of From a Good Family in 1895. This success enabled her finally to live as a freelance writer. In addition to a string of popular novels she wrote essays and sketches for German and Austrian newspapers; in the 1920s and 1930s she regularly reviewed German books for the New York Times. Lynne Tatlock is Hortense and Tobias Lewin Distinguished Professor of Humanities at Washington University in St. Louis.

Book Description
For more than 337years, the world has suffered the effects of inhumanity. Man, against man. Peoples of color from everywhere, yellow, brown, red and black were branded and used by the imperial and colonial forces. Aiyeko-ooto follows the path of history, seeking redemption, reparations and reintegration. Some still claim the fallacy of superior white race. Yes! Let's go there! Do we look on, when some rhetoric of current day; remain like those of the hateful past? Is it possible for man to forgive and live together in harmony, despite our grave human errors? There are lessons to be learned from memories that ache and reasons to accommodate. In 5 movements: Our journey is short; roaming the winds; we?re better than that; in swamps and marshes and on a note of laughter, Aiye-ko ooto delivers 50 pungent poems to capture the past, present and future!
