Widowed Deborah Huntworth is elated when her tyrannical great-aunt dies. At last Deborah can pursue her dream of becoming an artist. Her first act of freedom will be a return to the island of Martinique to reunite with her child. She has no way of knowing the tragedies that await her or the price she will pay for her single-minded determination. With her only plan in tatters and nothing to take its place, Deborah resolutely travels to New York City. There, in spite of disasters and her own mistakes, she clings to the lifeline of her art. Against a backdrop of early 20th century historical events, Deborah resists every effort to hinder her as she seeks new, creative ways to express her gift.
“The intersection of fact and feeling is very important in my work. It drives my work in general, and in particular for Lennox Woods,” explains Deborah Paris. Having spent the past year physically and psychologically immersed in Texas’s northeast Lennox Woods, the state’s only remaining old-growth forest, Paris has forged a deeply intimate relationship with her subject matter.A veteran landscape painter and self-described artist-naturalist, Paris translates how Lennox Woods looks and how it feels, re-creating its live, three-dimensional environment on the two-dimensional picture plane. Through a convergence of literal observation and soulfulness, the artist-naturalist conveys the true essence of her subject matter to evoke the sublime. Thick with virgin timber and rare and endangered plant and animal species, Lennox Woods exists as tangible history, an example of how the land looked before the settlers arrived. This book represents the culmination of Deborah Paris’s eighteen-month “residency” in the 375-acre Lennox Woods Preserve.

Children's historical fiction, ages 9-12. Save on this all-in-one volume of all five historical children's books about colonial and revolutionary Massachusetts, by acclaimed author Lillie V. Albrecht: Susanna's Candlestick Susanna's strict Puritan father is determined to settle in the New World, where his family can worship God as they please. She has only one keepsake to bring to the remote, untamed New England of 1663: her silver candlestick. But when a gypsy foretells, "The light will show you the way," her candlestick seems very special indeed. Susanna carries it through a hard journey in a strange, wild land, until at last she finds in the gypsy's words an unexpected meaning. The Spinning Wheel Secret Joan's brothers didn't want a baby sister. So they called her Jo and never admitted that she was a girl. A properly-brought-up young Puritan girl in 1705 would never know all the useful skills, like fishing and swimming, that Jo learns from Dan and Sam, though when it comes to doing ordinary household tasks, she's hopeless. But when Indians attack and carry off Jo's mother, Jo will find her own resources and courage sorely tested. Hannah's Hessian Little Hannah has plenty to worry about in the spring of 1775-war, smallpox, storing enough food and firewood to last through the New England winters-and also school. But worst of all are the terrifying Hessians, soldiers hired to fight the American patriot army. And when Hessian prisoners pass through their own village, Hannah's greatest fear seems to be coming true...

Can she remain friends with Alice and Jack and still keep the vital secret of the grist mill?

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Komparatistik, Vergleichende Literaturwissenschaft, Note: 1,33, Universit t Kassel (Germanistik), Veranstaltung: Einf hrung in die Analyse epischer Texte am Beispiel dt.-j discher Literatur, Teil I, Grundstudium 2.3, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Sie die Frau] repr sentiert Vitalit t und Emotionalit t, ist aber auch furienhaftes Gesch pf, das durch seine Laster wie Gier, Neid und Wollust das m nnlich-patriarchalische Selbstverst ndnis und die g ttliche Weltordnung durcheinanderwirbelt und gef hrdet. Auf diese Weise charakterisiert Hans-J rgen Blanke die Darstellung der Frauen in Joseph Roths Roman "Hiob." Diese Ambivalenz soll zum Anlass genommen werden, sich n her mit den weiblichen Protagonisten in Roths Werk auseinander zu setzen und auch die allgemein bliche Stellung der Frauen im Judentum zu untersuchen. Hierbei soll vor allem der sozialgeschichtliche Hintergrund in Bezug auf Gesellschaft, Religion und Kultur eine gro e Rolle spielen. Nat rlich werden unweigerlich auch Aspekte der Gender Studies mit einflie en m ssen. Ob das Verhalten der beiden Frauen Deborah und Mirjam ein typisches ist, inwieweit die Handlung von ihnen abh ngt und beeinflusst wird und welche sozialgeschichtlichen Zusammenh nge bestehen, soll im Folgenden n her betrachtet und erl utert werden. Vordergr ndig st tzt sich die nachfolgende Betrachtung auf die Interpretation Hans- J rgen Blankes. Hier werden verschiedenen Aspekte und Interpretationsrichtungen aufgezeigt und erl utert, was einen tiefen Einblick in Roths Roman erm glicht.
Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1, University of Duisburg-Essen, course: Proseminar - Language and Gender, 4 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: 1. Introduction The reason why popular scientific books are very successful is probably that an overview of the topics of modern science and an understanding of the main ideas are of interest to most people. But scientific literature does not only use a style too complicated for the "ordinary," not academically educated person. It also is too extensive and contains many, at times confusing, details that are of no interest to a "normal" person. So for a person just trying to get the main drift of a scientific topic, it is on the one hand hard to deal with the scientific vernacular and on the other hand almost impossible to filter the information of real importance from other information that is not as important. Popular scientific books seem to be the solution for people not academically interested in a topic. Here the authors can concentrate on the basics and foundations of knowledge, going not too much into the unnecessary detail. They are not bound to the strict structures of scientific literature, but can explain simply with examples from real life. But more important is the fact that most people in our society want to be entertained rather than taught and find the academic side of science simply boring. The colloquial style of writing in popular scientific literature, the colourful examples that draw relations to the readers' own life and the sometimes humorous descriptions add to the pleasure of the audience and render this kind of literature not only informative but in the first place entertaining. Though it may be true that most people read popular scientific books only for entertainment, it is also true that with this literature the ideas and discoveries of modern sciences become more transparent not only for a smal
