Benjamin Markovits is a leading Anglo-American novelist with a varied and ambitious body of work, ranging from a trilogy of historical fictions on the life of Lord Byron (Imposture, 2007; A Quiet Adjustment, 2008; Childish Loves, 2011) to an award-winning portrayal of a gentrification project in Obama-era Detroit (You Don’t Have to Live Like This, 2015) to intimate studies of contemporary family life (A Weekend in New York, 2018; Christmas in Austin, 2019). Prolific and unpredictable, Markovits is one of the most interesting realist writers working today. Featuring contributions from emerging and established scholars, this collection provides fresh perspectives on Markovits’s place in the contemporary literary field, as well as offering a detailed survey of his work to date. The collection begins with Markovits’s early ‘campus novel’, The Syme Papers (2004), before exploring his celebrated ‘Byron Trilogy’, and the 2005 story cycle, Either Side of Winter. Contributors consider Markovits’s best-known book, You Don’t Have to Live Like This, which won the James Tait Memorial Prize, as well as his more recent fictions focusing on the trials and tribulations of the Essinger family. Taken together, this authoritative collection brings to light the many preoccupations of Markovits’s singular oeuvre—from Byron to basketball, from race relations to real estate. It also includes a frank and wide-ranging interview with the author.The collection will be a first port of call for students and scholars in search of a comprehensive introduction to the work of one of our most exciting contemporary novelists.

Benjamin, Au Rythme Du Tonnerre

Scholastic
2024
nidottu
See below for English description.Benjamin aime la pluie. Il adore patauger dans les flaques avec ses bottes jaune vif et regarder les couleurs de l'arc-en-ciel dans l'eau qui ondule sous ses pieds. Mais surtout, Benjamin adore le tonnerre. Pour lui, le tonnerre - piy siwak - ressemble au bruit que fait le tambour de son grand-p re. Cette musique l'interpelle, comme les chansons que joue son grand-p re pendant que son p re et d'autres danseurs de pow-wow tournent et bougent au rythme du tambour. Alors que Benjamin entend le tonnerre gronder au-dessus de sa t te, il s'imagine tre un danseur de pow-wow. Il tourne, tape des pieds et l ve les genoux. Il virevolte de plus en plus vite, ravi et empli du rythme du piy siwak. Cette histoire, crite par la talentueuse autrice prim e Melanie Florence, c l bre la fois les joies de jouer sous la pluie et les liens avec les traditions familiales qui nous centrent et nous enracinent. Des l ments de la culture du pow-wow cri et des mots cris pour d signer les couleurs et le temps qu'il fait sont int gr s l'histoire, avec un guide de prononciation. Les illustrations vibrantes et accrocheuses de Hawlii Pichette, inspir es par les paysages du nord de l'Ontario, ajoutent l'int r t de ce livre. Cet album illustr attrayant constitue une lecture parfaite pour les journ es pluvieuses, ainsi qu'une excellente introduction aux traditions culturelles cries, aux communaut s locales et la d couverte de la nature.Benjamin loves the rain. He loves splashing through puddles in his bright yellow rain boots and watching the colours of a rainbow in the water as they ripple around his feet. But most of all, Benjamin loves thunder. To him, thunder -- piy siwak -- sounds like his grandfather's drum. It calls to him, like the songs his grandfather plays while his father and other powwow dancers spin and step in time to the drumbeat. As Benjamin hears the thunder rumble overhead, he imagines himself as a powwow dancer. He spins, he taps his feet and he lifts his knees. Faster and faster he twirls, delighted by and filled with the rhythm of piy siwak. This artfully written story from award-winning author Melanie Florence celebrates both the universal joys of playing in the rain and the connections to family traditions that centre and ground us. Elements of Cree powwow culture and Cree words for colours and weather are interwoven into the story, with a pronunciation guide in the back matter. The vibrant and eye-catching art by Hawlii Pichette, inspired by the scenery of northern Ontario, adds drama to the pages. Original title: Benjamin's Thunderstorm

Benjamin and Adorno on Art and Art Criticism

Benjamin and Adorno on Art and Art Criticism

Thijs Lijster

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
nidottu
This book brings together two of the most important figures of twentieth-century criticism, Walter Benjamin and Theodor Adorno, to consider a topic that was central to their thinking: the place of and reason for art in society and culture. Thijs Lijster takes us through points of agreement and disagreement between the two on such key topics as the relationship between art and historical experience, between avant-garde art and mass culture, and between the intellectual and the public. He also addresses the continuing relevance of Benjamin and Adorno to ongoing debates in contemporary aesthetics, such as the end of art, the historical meaning of art, and the role of the critic.

Benjamin Franklin Lib/E

Benjamin Franklin Lib/E

Kathleen Krull

Blackstone Publishing
2020
cd
Sure, almost all kids know Benjamin Franklin as one of America's Founding Fathers, a man with a hand in both the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. And they may even have some vague idea that he once flew a kite during a lightning storm. What Kathleen Krull sets out to do in this very different biography is show Ben Franklin as the "natural philosopher" (the term for scientists back in the 1700s), whose experiments led to important discoveries about the nature of electricity--including his famous demonstration that electricity and lightning were one and the same.As always, this much-lauded series presents a true Giant of Science in a juicily anecdotal way. This is social history at its best ... who knew that Franklin became such a megastar that Paris shops sold Ben dolls, Ben ashtrays, and even Ben wallpaper?Witty and engaging, this is a worthy addition to the Giants of Science series.

Benjamin Franklin on Immigration to America, Slavery, and Other Papers Descriptive of Early America

Benjamin Franklin on Immigration to America, Slavery, and Other Papers Descriptive of Early America

Benjamin Franklin

Independently Published
2019
pokkari
Collected here in this short volume are eight pieces written by Benjamin Franklin during the later years of his life. The first three articles-on immigration, Native Americans, and the general state of the new nation-were written and published around 1784 while Franklin was still in residence in France. The later three articles-all dealing with slavery-are among the last public statements Franklin made before his death in Philadelphia in 1790. Two other pieces compare America and Britain in the aftermath of the revolution and contain Franklin's final comments at the Constitutional Convention in 1787. Throughout his life, Franklin maintained an optimistic view of human nature. The goodness he saw in humankind was no different in black slaves or Native Americans than in whites. He lived and died as the truly virtuous citizen he urged others to be, as close as any to achieving the full potential of the human spirit. His vision for society and the country he worked so hard to establish shine through in these eight short papers-a vision still relevant and much needed in modern America. This volume includes an introduction by American history scholar Eric J. Miller, adding background to Franklin's story, the circumstances at the time of publication of the works included, and additional commentary on their relevance and significance even today.
