Meet Ruth Hilton, a young seamstress who captures the heart of Henry Bellingham, a charming gentleman. But their whirlwind romance turns into a nightmare when he abandons her, leaving Ruth shattered and alone. On the brink of destruction, she's offered a second chance by a kind-hearted community who embrace her with love and respect, unaware of her dark secret - an illegitimate child. When Henry reappears, Ruth faces an impossible choice: conform to societal expectations or stand by her personal pride. In 'Ruth', Elizabeth Gaskell boldly challenges Victorian norms with a compassionate and unflinching portrayal of a 'fallen woman', sparking a powerful exploration of sin, redemption, and the true meaning of love.

Erilainen rakkaustarina 1800-luvun Skotlannista.Ruth syntyi 1800-luvun puolivälissä Edinburghissa perheeseen, jossa oli ennestään kolme lasta. Hän oli syntyessään kauttaaltaan karvainen ja hänestä kasvoi maailman karvaisin nainen. Hän alkoi jo varhaisteini-iässä elättää itseään kiertävässä sirkuksessa esiintyvänä taiteilijana. Se oli luonnollista poikkeavan näköisille ihmisille noina aikoina, kun Britannian viihde-elämä alkoi kukoistaa vauhdikkaan teollistumisen vanavedessä.Sirkuksessa Ruth tutustuu Josephiin, jolla on kolme kättä. Joseph on hurmaava nuori mies, jonka kanssa Ruth saa kasvaa aikuisuuteen ja itsensä hyväksymiseen. Nuoret friikit huomaavat rakastuvansa toisiinsa päätä pahkaa. 1886 astuu voimaan laki, joka kieltää friikkien käyttämisen sirkuksissa vetonauloina. Rakastavaiset ovatkin valmiita ottamaan yhteisen askeleen ja perustamaan perheen.Sirkuksen johtaja, herra Trump, tekee kaikkensa erottaakseen rakastavaiset toisistaan. Hänelläkin on suunnitelmia viehättäväluonteisen ja toimeliaan Ruthin suhteen. Pia Tervo on Seinäjoella asuva kirjailija, jonka omaäänisiä tarinoita on ilmestynyt esimerkiksi Joulukalenteri-antologioissa. Pia on kirjoittanut myös oppaan Vihdoinkin nukun hyvin, jossa hän kertoo, miten selätti pitkäaikaisen unettomuuden.

Ruth Maier's Diary

Ruth Maier's Diary

pokkari
Ruth Maier was born into a middle-class Jewish family in interwar Vienna. Following the Anschluss of Austria in March 1938, her world collapsed. In early 1939, her sister having left for England, Ruth emigrated to Norway and lived with a family in Lillestrøm, near Oslo. Although she loved many things about her new country and its people, Ruth became increasingly isolated until she met a soulmate, Gunvor Hofmo, who was to become a celebrated poet. When Norway became a Nazi conquest in April 1940, Ruth's effort to join the rest of her family in Britain became ever more urgent.Ruth Maier kept a diary from 1934 until she was deported to Auschwitz in 1942 at the age of twenty-two. Although she was only in her teens, she shows a sophisticated understanding of the political forces shaping Europe. Ruth is lyrical, witty and incisive and explores universal themes of isolation, identity, love, friendship, desire and justice. Most of all, she seeks what it means to be a human being.

PENGUIN BOOKS LTD

In Ruth Hall, one of the bestselling novels of the 1850s, Fanny Fern drew heavily on her own experiences: the death of her first child and her beloved husband, a bitter estrangement from her family, and her struggle to make a living as a writer. Written as a series of short vignettes and snatches of overheard conversations, it is as unconventional in style as in substance and strikingly modern in its impact.

In Ruth Page: The Woman in the Work, the Chicago ballerina emerges as a highly original choreographer who, in her art, sought the iconoclastic as she transgressed boundaries of genre, gender, race, class, and sexuality. Author Joellen A. Meglin shows how her works were often controversial and sometimes censored even as she succeeded in roles usually reserved for men in the ballet world: choreographer, artistic director, and impresario. From extensive dramaturgical analysis of her most famous ballets — La Guiablesse, Frankie and Johnny, Billy Sunday, Revenge, The Merry Widow, Camille, Carmina Burana, and Alice — to embodied re-imagining of an avant-garde solo performed in a "sack" designed by Isamu Noguchi, this biography follows the global reach of Ruth Page's career spanning the greater part of the twentieth century. In the process of discovering the woman in the work, one encounters an international cast of dancers (Anna Pavlova, Harald Kreutzberg, Frederic Franklin, Alicia Markova), composers (William Grant Still, Aaron Copland, Jerome Moross, Darius Milhaud), visual artists (Noguchi, Pavel Tchelitchew, Antoni Clavé), and companies (Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, Ballets des Champs-Elysées, London Festival Ballet). Disrupting notions that New York was the only cradle of the American ballet, and George Balanchine, its exponent to eclipse all others, Ruth Page explores the woman's unique sensibility, corporeal praxis, and collaborative ethos to reveal her Chicago-centered network of creativity.

Ruth Crawford Seeger (1901-1953) is frequently considered the most significant American female composer in this century. Joining Aaron Copland and Henry Cowell as a key member of the 1920s musical avant-garde, she went on to study with modernist theorist and future husband Charles Seeger, writing her masterpiece, String Quartet 1931, not long after. But her legacy extends far beyond the cutting edge of modern music. Collaborating with poet Carl Sandburg on folk song arrangements in the twenties, and with the famous folk-song collectors John and Alan Lomax in the 1930s, she emerged as a central figure in the American folk music revival, issuing several important books of adaptations (transcriptions and arrangements) and pioneering the use of American folk songs in children's music education. Radicalized by the Depression, she spent much of the ensuing two decades working aggressively for social change with her husband and stepson, the folksinger Pete Seeger. This engrossing new biography emphasizes the choices Crawford Seeger made in her roles as composer, activist, teacher, wife and mother. The first woman to win a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in music composition, Crawford Seeger nearly gave up writing music as the demands of family, politics, and the folk song movement intervened. It was only at the very end of her life, with cancer sapping her strength, that she returned to composing. Written with unique insight and compassion, this book offers the definitive treatment of a fascinating twentieth-century figure.

By weaving discussions of the personal and professional writings of Ruth Benedict (1887-1948), Margaret Mead offers a deeply insightful portrait of a woman who overcame the barriers of sexism to become one of the most compelling intellectual figures in twentieth-century American life. In this work, Mead defends Benedict's humanistic approach to anthropology and considers her most important works. Benedict's work is also presented in the context of her personal life. Benedict was a shy young woman who felt alienated from her conservative family and society's expectations. Ultimately, she defined her life through her extraordinary work in anthropology and a commitment to public service. Benedict believed that anthropology should speak to contemporary ethical and political questions. In addition to a selection of Benedict's anthropological writings, this edition includes new forewords by two leading Benedict scholars.
