Private Lawrence sees the world differently from those around him. Unfortunately, those around him are the British Army. To Dr. Pennyworth, Private Henry Lawrence appears to be just another wounded soldier but slowly he begins to realise that Lawrence experiences the world in a unique and inexplicable manner. From the chaos of The Great War, Lawrence begins to create order. And Physics is struggling to keep up. Pennyworth and Dr. Caroline Charteris, a Cambridge mathematician, widowed by the war, work together to unlock the mysterious mind of Henry Lawrence and to determine how he intends to use it. Then, they must decide whether to assist him or stop him. The story of Henry Lawrence is told here through the correspondence, private papers and published works of those who knew him.
Hamida and Hamido are twins, grown from a single embryo inside one womb. Violently parted, they search the city in the darkening circles of a dream, only to find, lose and find each other, each time as if it were the first. Their journey -- terrifying and exact -- leads to an unbroken cycle of corruption and brutality. With a precise and hypnotic intensity, Circling Song pursues the conflicts of sex, class, gender and military violence deep into the psyche. -- Back cover.
Hamida dan Hamido adalah saudara kembar yang tumbuh dari embrio tunggal di dalam satu rahim. Karena dipisahkan secara paksa, mereka menyusuri kota dalam lingkaran yang menggelapkan dalam sebuah harapan, hanya untuk menemukan saling kehilangan dan merasakan setiap waktu seakan-akan rasa itu baru pertama kali mereka rasakan. Perjalanan yang mereka tempuh sangat mengerikan dan benar-benar mengarah pada lingkaran korupsi dan brutalitas yang tidak putus-putusnya di kalangan pegawai pemerintah di negeri mereka. Pada suatu hari pakaian sekolah Hamida menjadi sempit. Hanya dengan bersusah payah ia dapat memasukkan tubuhnya ke dalam pakaian itu, terutama sekali dari arah depan, di atas perutnya. Melihat suatu kenyataan aneh yang belum pernah dilihat Hamida sebelumnya, mata ibunya terpaku melihat perutnya. Pandangan itu muram menakutkan yang menjadikan seluruh tubuhnya gemetar. Jari ibunya yang besar-besar itu mencengkam di sekitar tangan Hamida yang kurus itu. ‘Buka pakaian sekolahmu!’ Hamida patuh. Ia mengenakan gallabiyya dan bersandar ke dinding, sambil menemukan suatu tumpak cahaya mentari lalu duduk. Pada waktu senja, anak-anak laki-laki dan perempuan di lingkungannya akan berkumpul di sekelilingnya. Mereka akan berlarian ke jalan dan bermain petak umpat, atau main koboi-koboian, atau ‘ular sudah pergi, pergi’ atau ‘sebutir garam’, atau‘ Hamida mempunyai seorang bayi.’ Bagaimana dengan Hamido? Apa yang terjadi pada dirinya? Dengan suatu ketepatan dan intensitas hipnotis, Nawal El Saadawi menelusuri konflik-konflik seksualitas, kelas dalam masyarakat, gender, dan kekerasan yang dilakukan oleh pihak militer, semua ini begitu mendalam sampai ke lubuk jiwa. Ditulis dalam bentuk sinematik pada realisme magis, The Circling Song adalah novelnya yang sangat orisinil.
Nawal El Saadawi has been pilloried, censored, imprisoned and exiled for her refusal to accept the oppressions imposed on women by gender and class. In her life and in her writings, this struggle against sexual discrimination has always been linked to a struggle against all forms of oppression: religious, racial, colonial and neo-colonial. In 1969, she published her first work of non-fiction, Women and Sex ; in 1972, her writings and her struggles led to her dismissal from her job. From then on there was no respite; imprisonment under Sadat in 1981 was the culmination of the long war she had fought for Egyptian women's social and intellectual freedom. A Daughter of Isis is the autobiography of this extraordinary woman.

The Encyclopedia of the Novel is the first reference book that focuses on the development of the novel throughout the world. Entries on individual writers assess the place of that writer within the development of the novel form, explaining why and in exactly what ways that writer is importnant. Similarly, an entry on an individual novel discusses the importance of that novel not only form, analyzing the particular innovations that novel has introduced and the ways in which it has influenced the subsequent course of the genre. A wide range of topic entries explore the history, criticism, theory, production, dissemination and reception of the novel. A very important component of the Encyclopedia of the Novel is its long surveys of development of the novel in various regions of the world.

Put Your Hands on Your Hips and Act Like a Woman by Gale P. Jackson Pdf
In a gathering of griot traditions fusing storytelling, cultural history, and social and literary criticism, Put Your Hands on Your Hips and Act Like a Woman “re-members” and represents how women of the African diaspora have drawn on ancient traditions to record memory, history, and experience in performance. These women’s songs and dances provide us with a wealth of polyphonic text that records their reflections on identity, imagination, and agency, providing a collective performed autobiography that complements the small body of pre-twentieth-century African and African American women’s writing. Gale P. Jackson engages with a range of vibrant traditions to provide windows into multiple discourses as well as “new” and old paradigms for locating the history, philosophy, pedagogy, and theory embedded in a lineage of African diaspora performance and to articulate and address the postcolonial fragmentation of humanist thinking. In lyrically interdisciplinary movement, across herstories, geographies, and genres, cultural continuities, improvisation, and transformative action, Put Your Hands on Your Hips and Act Like a Woman offers a fresh perspective on familiar material and an expansion of our sources, reading, and vision of African diaspora, African American, and American literatures.
Vocal translation is an old art, but the interpretive feeling, skill and craft have expanded into a relatively new area in translation studies. Vocal translation is the translation of the poetic discourse in the hybrid art of the musicopoetic (or poeticomusical) forms, shapes and skills. This symbiotic construct harmonizes together the conflicting roles of music and language in face-to-face singing performances. The artist sings in an accurate but free flow, but sung in a language different from the original lyrics. Vocal translation is a living-together community of composer and poet and translator; they work together though separately in time and place, through the structure and meaning of the vocalized verbal language. The meaning of the songs is influenced by the elements of musical expression: melody, impulse, pitch, duration, loudness, timbre and dynamics, each of which is governed by its own rules and emotions. The movement of the lyrics is an essential and meaningful attribute of the musical rhythms, pauses, pitches, stresses and articulations of the entire songs. The presence of the original and translated song structures its sounds, senses and gestures to suggest semiotic meaningfulness. In opera, folksong, hymn and art song, as well as in operetta, musical song and popular song, we have musical genres allied to a libretto with lyrical text. A libretto is a linguistic text which is a pre-existing work of art, but is subordinated to the musical text. The essays in Song and Significance: Virtues and Vices of Vocal Translation provide interpretive models for the juxtaposition of different orders of the singing sign-events in different languages, extending the meaning and range of the musical and literary concepts, and putting the mixed signs to a true-and-false test.
