At the end of the forties, an old road was replaced with a modern highway, and television sets partly replaced radios and books. Those events marked the end of a way of life in rural Michigan. The author looks back at the forties from a modern viewpoint and at her life in a family of schoolteachers, recalling small-town storekeepers, old-fashioned teachers, and a simpler way of life that emphasized education and the environment.
A vivid portrait of an extraordinary decade, capturing the essence of everyday life, from education to entertain; transportation to television; shopping to sports. Featuring - timelines highlight key events in each aspect of life in the '40s; special features offer in-depth insights into forties fashion, fast food, toys, and technology; period photographs and authentic ephemera evoke the atmosphere of the times.

I wake up in the hospital with no memory of the past six months. Now I live with a man who's practically a stranger, and I have no idea why. When my father died, I lost everything--family, career, friends, money, support. I remember the loss, not what came after, but evidently everything changed in the months I can't recall. Brilliant, scarred, aloof Arthur Worthing was nothing more than a friend of my dad's, but he must have felt sorry for me. He gave me a job and a place to live. He took care of me when no one else would. I know it's not that simple, however. There are secrets he won't tell me. There are truths hiding in the shadows of his two-hundred-year-old mansion. I'm feeling things I shouldn't feel for a completely inappropriate man, one who's spent his life putting up walls. If I'm not careful, I'll lose everything again. But certain things are inevitable. And amnesia isn't strong enough to hold back the heart, even if it means I fall in love with him twice.

REMEMBERING COMMUNISM by Maria Todorova,Augusta Dimou,Stefan Troebst Pdf
Remembering Communism examines the formation and transformation of the memory of communism in the post-communist period. The majority of the articles focus on memory practices in the post-Stalinist era in Bulgaria and Romania, with occasional references to the cases of Poland and the GDR. Based on an interdisciplinary approach, including history, anthropology, cultural studies and sociology, the volume examines the mechanisms and processes that influence, determine and mint the private and public memory of communism in the post-1989 era. The common denominator to all essays is the emphasis on the process of remembering in the present, and the modalities by means of which the present perspective shapes processes of remembering, including practices of commemoration and representation of the past.ÿ
This book brings together letters from 89 of Northrop Frye's students, friends, and acquaintances in which they record their recollections of him as a teacher and a person during the 1940s and 1950s. A number of the correspondents also provide their impressions of Victoria College at the time, where Frye taught for more than 50 years. The letters provide insights into Frye as a teacher that are not elsewhere available, and reveal a consistent portrait of an intellectually superlative, generous, and thoughtful man.
(Re)collecting the Past by Melissa A. Stewart,Nancy Vosburg Pdf
This collection explores the role of memoria histórica in its broadest sense, bringing together studies of narrative, theatre, visual expressions, film, television, and radio that provide a comprehensive overview of contemporary cultural production in Spain in this regard. Employing a wide range of critical approaches to works that examine, comment on, and recreate events and epochs from the civil war to the present, the essays gathered here bring together research and intercultural memory to investigate half a century of cultural production, ranging from “high culture” to more popular productions, such as television series and graphic novels. A testament to the conflation of multiple silencings – be they of the defeated, victims of trauma or women – this project is about hearing the voices of the unheard and recovering their muted past.
Best-selling author Aldous Huxley's American years have been a period literary historians discounted. His reputation suffered after his exile to California, which he undertook partly for the sake of his failing sight, partly out of disappointment with the European peace movement, and partly in search of new spiritual direction. With his move to California, Huxley became part of Hollywood's Golden Age, working alongside such noted figures as Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Bertolt Brecht and Christopher Isherwood. During this time Huxley published nineteen books. His writing and life underwent many transformations, and many crucial unanswered questions remained about his sojourn. Were the writings of the American years as self-indulgent as critics claimed? How did cinematic conventions influence his art? Did he ever reach that unitary mystical experience he sought throughout the last decades of his life? Prominent oral historian and biographer David Dunaway responds to these questions, using interviews with co-workers, family, and friends and an analysis of Huxley's FBI files and little-known scripts for 'Jane Eyre' and 'Pride and Prejudice,' to provide us with intimate glimpses into Huxley's development as an author and a man. For the oral and literary historian, an extended introduction and appendix describe in detail the methods, processes, and challenges of doing oral literary history research.
This fascinating book provides a first-hand account of the railway developments in Scotland and Canada, as told by the author, David Blyth Hanna, who was president of the Canadian National Railways in 1919.
