Truth & Beauty A Friendship


Free Download Ann Patchett, "Truth & Beauty: A Friendship"
English | 2005 | pages: 273 | ISBN: 0060572159, 0060572140 | PDF | 1,2 mb
Ann Patchett and the late Lucy Grealy met in college in 1981, and, after enrolling in the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, began a friendship that would be as defining to both of their lives as their work. In Grealy’s critically acclaimed memoir, Autobiography of a Face, she wrote about losing part of her jaw to childhood cancer, years of chemotherapy and radiation, and endless reconstructive surgeries. In Truth & Beauty, the story isn’t Lucy’s life or Ann’s life, but the parts of their lives they shared. This is a portrait of unwavering commitment that spans twenty years, from the long winters of the Midwest, to surgical wards, to book parties in New York. Through love, fame, drugs, and despair, this is what it means to be part of two lives that are intertwined . . . and what happens when one is left behind.

Melville, Beauty, and American Literary Studies An Aesthetics in All Things


Free Download Cody Marrs, "Melville, Beauty, and American Literary Studies: An Aesthetics in All Things "
English | ISBN: 0192871722 | 2023 | 168 pages | PDF | 2 MB
When people think about Herman Melville, they often think about experiences of madness, horror, and the sublime. But throughout his life, Melville was deeply and persistently interested in beauty. In this fascinating book, Cody Marrs retraces Melville’s engagements with beauty and provides a revisionary account of Melville’s philosophy, aesthetics, and literary career. In writings such as Moby-Dick, Timoleon, and Weeds and Wildings, Melville reflects on the nature, origins, and effects of beauty, and the ways in which beauty is inexorably bound up with considerations of religion, science, ecology, art, literature, and metaphysics. Melville’s writing indicates that beauty is, ultimately, an experience of non-sovereignty, a felt recognition of the self’s interdependence.

Inventing Niagara Beauty, Power, and Lies


Free Download Ginger Strand, "Inventing Niagara: Beauty, Power, and Lies"
English | 2009 | pages: 362 | ISBN: 141654657X, 1416546561 | EPUB | 0,9 mb
Americans call Niagara Falls a natural wonder, but the Falls aren’t very natural anymore. In fact, they are a study in artifice. Water diverted, riverbed reshaped, brink stabilized and landscape redesigned, the Falls are more a monument to man’s meddling than to nature’s strength. Held up as an example of something real, they are hemmed in with fakery – waxworks, haunted houses, IMAX films and ersatz Indian tales. A symbol of American manifest destiny, they are shared politely with Canada. Emblem of nature’s power, they are completely human-controlled. Archetype of natural beauty, they belie an ugly environmental legacy still bubbling up from below. On every level, Niagara Falls is a monument to how America falsifies nature, reshaping its contours and redirecting its force while claiming to submit to its will.
