Book Description
“Every child has dreams and aspirations to achieve success”. However, making those dreams a reality can often seem far fetched and distant for some children due to the circumstances by which they were brought into this world. Due to what society deems as ideal or proper foundations for success many of today’s youth are deterred from pursuing their goals. Faith, confidence and support are all factors which are integral in the ability of a child to realize their potential and transform dreams into reality. “Swift Enough to Endure” delivers a compelling message to today’s youth and adults alike that early less than favorable demographics have no determination on an individual’s ability to pursue a destiny of success. This literary work chronicles the life of a little boy from the Delta who defied the odds and reached unimaginable educational goals through unwavering faith, confidence and support from his grandmother who raised him. It details the battles and struggles that the two of them encountered and overcame along the arduous journey to produce the present day Dr. Andronica S. M. Handie, Foot and Ankle Surgeon. The story navigates you through his early life as an infant and child in an impoverished sector of rural Arkansas. It then carries you through his years as an adolescent where he conjures a dream that would come to fruition in adulthood simply through “The Power of a Grandmother’s Love”. Through the telling and heartfelt accounts of his life Dr. Handie links the unrelenting love his grandmother provided him with to become steadfast on a quest for educational success. His life story epitomizes how unimaginable dreams of a child can be accomplished with love and an adage to remain “Swift Enough to Endure” the hardships along the voyage.

Swift and Others
Author: Claude Rawson
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1316298574
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
Jonathan Swift's influence on the writings and politics of England and Ireland was reinforced by a combination of contradictory forces: an authoritarian attachment to tradition and rule, and a vivid responsiveness to the disorders of a modernity he resisted and yet helped to create. He was, perhaps even more than Pope, a dominant voice of his times. The rich variety of the literary culture to which he belonged shows the penetration of his ideas, personality and style. This is true of writers who were his friends and admirers (Pope), of adversaries (Mandeville, Johnson), of several who became great ironists in his shadow (Gibbon, Austen), and of some surprising examples of Swiftian afterlife (Chatterton). Claude Rawson, leading scholar of the works of Swift, brings together recent essays, as well as classic earlier work extensively revised, to offer fresh insights into an era when Swift's voice was a pervasive presence.

Jonathan Swift

ISBN: 1611496071
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 823
Book Description
Jonathan Swift: Irish Blow-in (along with its companion, Jonathan Swift: Our Dean) aspires to be the most accurate and engaging critical biography of Jonathan Swift ever published. It builds on the thorough research of Irvin Ehrenpreis’s highly regarded 1962–1983 three-volume biography, but reinterprets Swift’s life and works by reassessing his childhood, stressing his exuberance, honestly portraying his intense affection for Esther Johnson (he called her “saucebox” and not “Stella” when she was in her twenties), and not projecting Swift’s later-in-life angry behavior back onto his first forty-seven years.

Book Description
Writers Talk includes interviews with Kate Atkinson, Pat Barker, Jonathan Coe, Jim Crace, Toby Litt, Graham Swift, Matt Thorne, David Mitchell, AlanWarner, and Will Self. "Is it a good time to be a writer in the time of The Da Vinci Code? It's not necessarily good time to be a literary writer."-Kate Atkinson "The best novels allow us to rehearse the world ahead of us, to play out the battle before we fight it, to experience disaster before we encounter it, to practice grief before it flattens us. Narrative is useful. It confers advantages on us as a species." -Jim Crace Why do writers write? How do they react to criticism of their work? What inspires them and how do go about working? Does fiction have any political, ethical or spiritual significance? Can we learn more about a book from its author? This collection of interviews with contemporary British novelists offers a fascinating insight into bestselling authors' views on fiction today; their influences and themes; readers and critics; why they write and their writing process; and provides a snapshot of the reality of living as a writer.
