Book Description
Extravagant, absurd, and self-aware, The Revolutionaries Try Again plays out against the lost decade of Ecuador's austerity and the stymied idealism of three childhood friends—an expat, a bureaucrat, and a playwright—who are as sure about the evils of dictatorship as they are unsure of everything else, including each other. Everyone thinks they're the chosen ones, Masha wrote on Antonio's manuscript. See About Schmidt with Jack Nicholson. Then she quoted from Hope Against Hope by Nadezhda Mandelstam, because she was sure Antonio hadn't read her yet: Can a man really be held accountable for his own actions? His behavior, even his character, is always in the merciless grip of the age, which squeezes out of him the drop of good or evil that it needs from him. In San Francisco, besides the accumulation of wealth, what does the age ask of your so called protagonist? No wonder he never returns to Ecuador. Mauro Javier Cardenas grew up in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and graduated with a degree in Economics from Stanford University. Excerpts from his first novel, The Revolutionaries Try Again, have appeared in Conjunctions, the Antioch Review, Guernica, Witness, and BOMB. His interviews and essays on/with László Krasznahorkai, Javier Marias, Horacio Castellanos Moya, Juan Villoro, and Antonio Lobo Antunes have appeared in Music & Literature, San Francisco Chronicle, BOMB, and the Quarterly Conversation.

Get Up and Try Again
Author: Margaret Melinda Henderson
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1662401353
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
There are many ways to deal with the disappointments that people face from day to day. The giving-up stage is the easy part. The determination to succeed is the hard and sometimes scary part but will be worth the fight. Some people choose to shut down, give up, and hide themselves from others. From the beginning of time, people have been conditioned to keep going with the promise and reassurance of something better to come, thereby realizing that if you give up, you will never know what could have been. Therefore, getting up and trying to find a solution instead of accepting defeat at the benefit of others will make the rise from the fall worthwhile. Therefore, no matter how small or great the problem, a resolution must be acquired that you can live with and makes you happy. This book depicts the life of one person who, when all the odds seemed against her, dug down and fought harder to gain and contain her status by renewing her strength and keeping her faith in God. This books describes how every time she was knocked down, she picked herself up, brushed off the dirt, and persevered until she made her situation work for her. People will try to discourage someone from reaching a goal they have set for themselves. The worst of that is that they lose out on what they could have accomplished. But those people who were waiting for you to fail laugh will carry on to the next stage. The best way to deal with trials and tribulations is to know that they are to test you, not degrade you. They are to prepare you for what’s to come with a reward that is far greater than you would or could ever imagine.
