The Scarlet Professor by Barry Werth Pdf

During his thirty-seven years at Smith College, Newton Arvin published groundbreaking studies of Hawthorne, Whitman, Melville, and Longfellow that stand today as models of scholarship and psychological acuity. He cultivated friendships with the likes of Edmund Wilson and Lillian Hellman and became mentor to Truman Capote. A social radical and closeted homosexual, the circumspect Arvin nevertheless survived McCarthyism. But in September 1960 his apartment was raided, and his cache of beefcake erotica was confiscated, plunging him into confusion and despair and provoking his panicked betrayal of several friends. An utterly absorbing chronicle, The Scarlet Professor deftly captures the essence of a conflicted man and offers a provocative and unsettling look at American moral fanaticism.

The Professor's House by Willa Cather Pdf

How do we continue with life when we no longer have anything to look forward to? Willa Cather ponders the time-old question in this short, intense novel. Professor Godfrey St. Peter leads a successful life. He has a wonderful wife, his two daughters recently married, and he was just awarded an esteemed literary prize. But when it’s time for his hard work to pay off and the Professor’s family is ready to move into their grand new home, he finds he doesn’t want to. He doesn’t want to leave his old house, his comforting study, or his happy memories. Soon he begins to question his reasons for being and wonders whether he has anything left to live for. Willa Cather’s quietly dark novel is split into three sections: ‘The Family’, ‘Tom Outland’s Story’, and ‘The Professor’. In the first section, Cather explores the cynical Professor’s relationships with his family, and it soon becomes evident that a deep grief hangs over them all. A favourite student of the Professor’s and his eldest daughter’s fiance, Tom Outland, passed away during World War I, and the second section explores his remarkable life through the Professor’s reminiscing mind. The final section rejoins the Professor as he considers the next stages of his life and his inevitable death. Originally published in 1925, The Professor’s House is now in a brand new edition, featuring an introductory essay by H. L. Mencken. Willa Cather fans should not miss this American literary classic.

The Professor's Daughter by Emily Raboteau Pdf

A daughter's future and her father's past converge in Emily Raboteau's explosive first novel exploring identity, assimilation, and the legacy of race "My father is black and my mother is white and my brother is a vegetable." When Emma Boudreaux's older brother, Bernie, winds up in a coma after a freak accident, it's as if she loses a part of herself. All their lives, he has served as her compass, her stronger, better half: Bernie was brilliant when Emma was smart, charismatic when she was awkward, and confident when she was shy. Only Bernie was able to navigate-if not always diplomatically-the terrain of their biracial identity. Now, as the chronic rash that's flared up throughout her life returns with a vengeance, Emma is sleepwalking through her first year at college, left alone to grow into herself. The key to Emma's self-discovery lies in her father's past. Esteemed Princeton professor Bernard Boudreaux is emotionally absent and secretive about his family history. Little does Emma know just how haunted that history is, how tortured the path from the Deep South town to his present Ivy League success has been. Though her father and brother are bound by the past, Emma might just escape. In exhilarating, magical prose, The Professor's Daughter traces the borderlands of race and family, the contested territory that gives birth to rage, confusion, madness, and invisibility. This striking debut marks the arrival of an astonishingly original voice that surges with energy and purpose.

Dream Interpretation Ancient and Modern by C. G. Jung Pdf

Jung's landmark seminar sessions on dream interpretation and its history From 1936 to 1941, C. G. Jung gave a four-part seminar series in Zurich on children's dreams and the historical literature on dream interpretation. This book completes the two-part publication of this landmark seminar, presenting the sessions devoted to dream interpretation and its history. Here we witness Jung as both clinician and teacher: impatient and sometimes authoritarian but also witty, wise, and intellectually daring, a man who, though brilliant, could be vulnerable, uncertain, and humbled by life's mysteries. These sessions open a window on Jungian dream interpretation in practice, as Jung examines a long dream series from the Renaissance physician Girolamo Cardano. They also provide the best example of group supervision by Jung the educator. Presented here in an inspired English translation commissioned by the Philemon Foundation, these sessions reveal Jung as an impassioned teacher in dialogue with his students as he developed and refined the discipline of analytical psychology. An invaluable document of perhaps the most important psychologist of the twentieth century at work, this splendid book is the fullest representation of Jung’s interpretations of dream literatures, filling a critical gap in his collected works.

The Castle of the Scarlet Ghost by James E. Anthony Pdf

Professor Carlton Jones, of Celtic Affairs at the Southeastern University in Atlanta, is taking a sabbatical leave to study castles in Wales. He is an expert on Welsh castles and, in particular, wants to study the Castle of the Scarlet Ghost, little known today, but dating back to King Henry IV of England. He arrives at a bed and breakfast house, which adjoins the ruins of the old castle. Anxious to get started, though it is late in the afternoon and stormy weather, he starts up the hill towards the castle. A blast of lightning and a broken tree bough knocks him to the ground, unconscious. He awakens in a strange mansion in the Fourteenth Century attended by a beautiful girl. The mansion belongs to the wealthy and powerful master, Owain Glyndwr, who becomes the greatest hero of Wales. Although Glyndwr is, at first, skeptical of the professor's story, they soon become good friends. Glyndwr organizes a resistance to the cruel English masters, and Jones, his assistant, does not reveal what history will produce. Eventually everything is lost, and in the last chapter, the castle gains its name. Along the way, Glyndwr rescues Lady Margaret from the Tower of London. Many battles are fought, won and lost, and Professor Jones and the beautiful Siriz fall in love. Although Glyndwr is Wales' greatest hero, little is known of his life. I have researched his history and visited Wales twice. There is an article on Owain Glyndwr in the 2001 April/May issue of British Heritage. It indicates the interest that the public has in Owain Glyndwr.

Scarlet A by Katie Watson Pdf

Winner of the NCTE George Orwell Award for Distinguished Contribution to Honesty and Clarity in Public Language Although Roe v. Wade identified abortion as a constitutional right in1973, it still bears stigma--a proverbial scarlet A. Millions of Americans have participated in or benefited from an abortion, but few want to reveal that they have done so. Approximately one in five pregnancies in the US ends in abortion. Why is something so common, which has been legal so long, still a source of shame and secrecy? Why is it so regularly debated by politicians, and so seldom divulged from friend to friend? This book explores the personal stigma that prevents many from sharing their abortion experiences with friends and family in private conversation, and the structural stigma that keeps it that way. In public discussion, both proponents and opponents of abortion's legality tend to focus on extraordinary cases. This tendency keeps the national debate polarized and contentious, and keeps our focus on the cases that occur the least. Professor Katie Watson focuses instead on the cases that happen the most, which she calls "ordinary abortion." Scarlet A gives the reflective reader a more accurate impression of what the majority of American abortion practice really looks like. It explains how our silence around private experience has distorted public opinion, and how including both ordinary abortion and abortion ethics could make our public exchanges more fruitful. In Scarlet A, Watson wisely and respectfully navigates one of the most divisive topics in contemporary life. This book explains the law of abortion, challenges the toxic politics that make it a public football and private secret, offers tools for more productive private exchanges, and leads the way to a more robust public discussion of abortion ethics. Scarlet A combines storytelling and statistics to bring the story of ordinary abortion out of the shadows, painting a rich, rarely seen picture of how patients and doctors currently think and act, and ultimately inviting readers to tell their own stories and draw their own conclusions. The paperback edition includes a new preface by the author addressing new cultural developments in abortion discourse and new legal threats to reproductive rights, and updated statistics throughout.

31 Days by Barry Werth Pdf

In 31 Days, acclaimed historian Barry Werth takes readers inside the White House during the tumultuous days of August 1974, following Richard Nixon's resignation and the swearing-in of America's "accidental president," Gerald Ford. The Watergate scandal had torn the country apart. In a dramatic, day-by-day account of the new administration’s inner workings, Werth shows how Ford, caught between political expedience, the country’s demands for justice, and his own moral compass, struggled valiantly to restore the nation’s tarnished faith in its leadership. With deft and refreshing analysis Werth illuminates how this unprecedented political upheaval produced new fissures and battle lines, as well as new opportunities for political advancement for ambitious young men such as Donald Rumsfeld, who had been Nixon’s ambassador to NATO, and Dick Cheney, already coolly efficient as Rumsfeld’s former deputy. A superbly crafted presidential history with all of the twists and turns of a thriller, 31 Days sheds new light on the key players and political dilemmas that reverberate in today’s headlines.
