![]() The novel surrounds the lives of pacifist Mennonites in Saskatchewan during World War II. Wiebe has also published the novels First and Vital Candle ( 1966), The Scorched-Wood People ( 1977), The Mad Trapper ( 1980), and My Lovely Enemy ( 1983) the short-story volumes Where Is the Voice Coming from? ( 1974) and The Angel of the Tar Sands and Other Stories ( 1982) Playing Dead ( 1989), ‘a contemplation concerning the Arctic’ and a novel for children. Peace Shall Destroy Many is the first novel by Canadian author Rudy Wiebe. The Temptations of Big Bear ( 1973), regarded by many as his finest novel to date, is another large-scale work, centred on the figure of a late nineteenth-century Cree Indian chief who defied central Canadian authority. The Blue Mountains of China ( 1970) surveys the experience of the Mennonite diaspora in the Soviet Union, Paraguay, and Canada. ![]() His first novel, Peace Shall Destroy Many ( 1962), is about a young Mennonite torn between the traditions of his community and religion and a yearning for a more individual existence. Most of his work is about Prairie minorities and demonstrates a strong regional commitment to questioning conventionally accepted versions of Canadian cultural identity. ![]() Raised in a tightly knit Mennonite community, Wiebe has remained a staunch Christian throughout his adult life, teaching at the Mennonite Brethren Bible College, Goshen College, Indiana, and at the University of Alberta, while also pursuing a career as a writer of post-modernist fictions. ![]() Canadian novelist, born in Northern Saskatchewan, educated at the Universities of Alberta and Tübingen. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The level of spookiness is just right for young mystery readers. As in the previous book, all of the answers are discovered fairly easily. Additionally, they want to know what a mysterious boy is searching for on the beach, as well as the reason behind the housekeeper's grouchy behavior. Once again, Sam's (somewhat unfounded) suspicions lead Beth and Jennie to discover a hidden tunnel beneath the Levinskys' rented house. The second mystery takes place while Jennie and her family are vacationing on Lake Ontario. Luckily for Sam, McIver likes dogs more than he likes people. Sam becomes convinced that a spooky house owned by a man named McIver is haunted, and they discover the root of the unusual happenings at his home. Jennie's friend Beth joins them, and the excitement begins. A partnership is formed, and Jennie discovers that she can hear Sam's thoughts in her head. The pup mopes around the house until a neighbor, 10-year-old Jennie Levinsky, is hired to walk her. Samantha moves to a new town, and she's sure there's not going to be any excitement. ![]() Gr 3-5-A series featuring a mystery-solving sheepdog. ![]() ![]() This has not happened before now for the very simple reason that, until now, Americans were able to prevent it from happening. This electoral contest, taking place in an arena which is, presently, at the very center of the troubled world, seems to have invested the black vote with a power, and exhibits toward it a respect, which the black vote has never, in the memory of the living, had before. Certainly a bell is tolling now for all that the Western peoples imagined would last forever. ![]() Created here in pain and darkness, remnant of slaughter, his hour may, at last, and in mysterious, unprecedented ways, have begun to strike. ![]() What most significantly fills this void, or threatens to, is the presence, in America, of the world’s first genuine black Westerner. There is a carefully muffled pain and panic in the nation, which neither candidate, neither party, can coherently address, being, themselves, but vivid symptoms of it. One is tempted to say that it could scarcely have come at a more awkward time - what with the conventions, the exhibition of candidates, the dubious state of this particular and perhaps increasingly dubious union, and the American attempt, hopelessly and predictably schizophrenic, of preventing total disaster, for white people and for the West, in South Africa.

And so I followed her, watched her through her bedroom window, broke into her apartment, and held her as she slept. Now, ten years later, all of humanity had been stripped from me, all the emotion and empathy that I’d once felt taken away until I was nothing more than the beast who craved blood and had far too many kills tallied up.īut they could never take her away from me. She was the only one who could look at my bruises and wounds and see I wasn’t a total waste of space.īut I was ripped away from her, thrust into the underground world of violence and fighting, molded and shaped to be the ultimate killing machine for the Bratva. She was the only good and right thing in my painful, brutal life. But that didn’t stop a bond, a friendship to form between us. ![]() ![]() ![]() Fans of Becky Albertalli, Adam Silvera, and Stephen Chbosky.Parents and educators looking for realistic historical fiction for teens.Readers who want stories centering gay boys coming of age. ![]() And Michael has to decide what he's willing to risk to be himself. A boy who, unlike seemingly everyone else in New York City, is interested in him and not James. Then he meets Gabriel, a boy who actually sees him. ![]() To pass the time before graduation, Michael hangs out at The Echo where he can dance and forget about his father's angry words, the pressures of school, and the looming threat of AIDS, a disease that everyone is talking about, but no one understands. Plus, his brother, Connor, has already been kicked out of the house for being gay and laying low seems to be Michael's only chance at avoiding the same fate. Michael is content to live in the shadow of his best friends, James and Becky. From "the queen of heartbreaking prose" ( Paste) Helene Dunbar, We Are Lost and Found is a young adult realistic fiction novel in the vein of The Perks of Being a Wallflower about three friends coming-of-age against the backdrop of the AIDS crisis in the early 1980s. ![]() ![]() ![]() Songs of Innocence-the title of the first part, which appeared by itself in 1789- might seem a fairly innocuous title, like the famous Songs and Sonnets which begin the full title of Tottel’s Miscellany (1557 Shakespeare has Falstaff refer to it that way). ![]() The title itself has had an enormous effect on ways of thinking about poetry. The book, beautifully and delicately illustrated by Blake, has been vastly influential, determining, for example, the opening poems in William Butler Yeats’s book The Rose (1893), which contrasts “The Song of the Happy Shepherd” with “The Sad Shepherd:” (The second Song of Innocence is called “The Shepherd.”) The contrast, and the very idea of the song, harkens back to Blake. Songs of Innocence and of Experience contain William Blake’s best-known and most widely read works, including what is perhaps his most famous poem, The Tyger.

She and her siblings and their cousins from the farm across the way played as hard as they worked, running barefoot through the fields, as free and wild as they dared. She had caring grandparents who possessed-and valiantly tried to impose-all the pioneer virtues of their forebears, teachers who inspired and befriended her, and a barnyard full of animals ready to be tamed and loved. Kalish counts herself among the lucky of that era. This, however, is not a tale of suffering. With her father banished from the household for mysterious transgressions, five-year-old Mildred and her family could easily have been overwhelmed by the challenge of simply trying to survive. So begins Mildred Kalish's story of growing up on her grandparents' Iowa farm during the depths of the Great Depression. So, partly in response to the basic human instinct to share feelings and experiences, and partly for the sheer joy and excitement of it all, I report on my early life. For many years I have had the urge to describe that treasure trove, lest it vanish forever. I tell of a time, a place, and a way of life long gone. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Many of the actual objects, from a hearing-aids to a mechanical dog, are recast as failed innovations. Mintox (pictured above): spectacularly unsuccessful and therefore largely unknown, at least until this museum ‘retrospective’. I responded with the character of an imaginary inventor, Henry A. While the Odditoreum wandered randomly from medieval canonballs to genetrically engineered moths, Helen’s idea for the Oopsatoreum involved more of an overarching narrative, with some emphasis on mechanical objects and accidents. ![]() A little bit more insight into the development of the exhibition can be found on the website of the author who came up with the fictional world for the exhibit, Shaun Tan:įollowing on from the successful exhibition of curiosities, The Odditoreum, Sydney Powerhouse Museum Program’s Producer Helen Whitty approached me with a concept for another show involving fictional histories of real (but often quite strange) objects from their archives. ![]() ![]() It was with that perspective that I read The $12 Million Shark: The Curious Economics of Contemporary Art by Don Thompson. “How could that be considered art, let alone be worth that much money?!?” In fact, when one of these pieces changes hands for staggering sums I’m much more prone to indignation or ridicule. Paintings, sculptures, and multimedia installations that seem designed to provoke, rather than inspire. On the other hand, what I don’t tend to think of is contemporary or modern art pieces by Damien Hirst, Andy Warhol, or Jeff Koons. They are in fact, priceless, and we all generally seem to take that for granted. ![]() These are rare, beautiful objects that can never be replaced. Though “immeasurable value” isn’t correct, as once in awhile one of these paintings comes up for auction and, while we might gawk at the price, no one ever seems to question it. Breathtaking masterpieces with seemingly immeasurable value that hang in museums for all to enjoy. ![]() When I think of art, paintings by Rembrandt, Monet, and Van Gogh come to mind. ![]() |
