The Sister Years (From "Twice Told Tales") by Nathaniel Hawthorne Pdf

With 'The Sister Years,' Nathaniel Hawthorne presents readers with a profound moral allegory nestled within his larger collection, 'Twice Told Tales.' Here, Hawthorne's dexterous literary style weaves a rich tapestry of symbolic language, exploring the nuanced relationship between the old year and the newborn one, personified as sisters. The work reflects Hawthorne's fascination with the passing of time, moments of transition, and the intermingling of joy and sorrow, thus situating itself thoughtfully within the tradition of American Transcendentalism and the broader context of 19th-century moralistic literature. Nathaniel Hawthorne, a luminary of 19th-century American literature, is known for his exploration of themes such as guilt, sin, and redemption. His Puritan New England heritage and experiences at the Brook Farm communal living project influenced his writing profoundly, driving him to contemplate the complexities of human nature and society. In 'The Sister Years,' Hawthorne distills these reflections, crafting a narrative that epitomizes his contemplative approach to the human condition and its temporal challenges. Scholars and enthusiasts of literature alike will appreciate the timeless quality of 'The Sister Years.' The story's exploration of themes such as change, tradition, and the continuity of life resonate just as powerfully today as they did in Hawthorne's time. This edition, carefully curated by DigiCat Publishing, is an essential addition to any collection honoring American literary tradition and offers a poignant reading experience for those seeking to delve into the philosophical musings of one of America's most insightful authors.

The Moon Sisters by Therese Walsh Pdf

This mesmerizing coming-of-age novel, with its sheen of near-magical realism, is a moving tale of family and the power of stories. After their mother's probable suicide, sisters Olivia and Jazz take steps to move on with their lives. Jazz, logical and forward-thinking, decides to get a new job, but spirited, strong-willed Olivia—who can see sounds, taste words, and smell sights—is determined to travel to the remote setting of their mother's unfinished novel to lay her spirit properly to rest. Already resentful of Olivia’s foolish quest and her family’s insistence upon her involvement, Jazz is further aggravated when they run into trouble along the way and Olivia latches to a worldly train-hopper who warns he shouldn’t be trusted. As they near their destination, the tension builds between the two sisters, each hiding something from the other, until they are finally forced to face everything between them and decide what is really important.

The Almost Legendary Morris Sisters by Julie Klam Pdf

A Washington Post best nonfiction book pick of 2021 “It is biography as an expression of love.” – The New York Times New York Times–bestselling author Julie Klam’s funny and moving story of the Morris sisters, distant relations with mysterious pasts. Ever since she was young, Julie Klam has been fascinated by the Morris sisters, cousins of her grandmother. According to family lore, early in the twentieth century the sisters’ parents decided to move the family from Eastern Europe to Los Angeles so their father could become a movie director. On the way, their pregnant mother went into labor in St. Louis, where the baby was born and where their mother died. The father left the children in an orphanage and promised to send for them when he settled in California—a promise he never kept. One of the Morris sisters later became a successful Wall Street trader and advised Franklin Roosevelt. The sisters lived together in New York City, none of them married or had children, and one even had an affair with J. P. Morgan. The stories of these independent women intrigued Klam, but as she delved into them to learn more, she realized that the tales were almost completely untrue. The Almost Legendary Morris Sisters is the revealing account of what Klam discovered about her family—and herself—as she dug into the past. The deeper she went into the lives of the Morris sisters, the slipperier their stories became. And the more questions she had about what actually happened to them, the more her opinion of them evolved. Part memoir and part confessional, and told with the wit and honesty that are hallmarks of Klam’s books, The Almost Legendary Morris Sisters is the fascinating and funny true story of one writer’s journey into her family’s past, the truths she brings to light, and what she learns about herself along the way.
