The Seven or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna

The Seven or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna

Juliet Grames

Harper Large Print
2019
nidottu
From Calabria to Connecticut: a sweeping family saga about sisterhood, secrets, Italian immigration, the American dream, and one woman's tenacious fight against her own fateFor Stella Fortuna, death has always been a part of life. Stella's childhood is full of strange, life-threatening incidents--moments where ordinary situations like cooking eggplant or feeding the pigs inexplicably take lethal turns. Even Stella's own mother is convinced that her daughter is cursed or haunted.In her rugged Italian village, Stella is considered an oddity--beautiful and smart, insolent and cold. Stella uses her peculiar toughness to protect her slower, plainer baby sister Tina from life's harshest realities. But she also provokes the ire of her father Antonio: a man who demands subservience from women and whose greatest gift to his family is his absence.When the Fortunas emigrate to America on the cusp of World War II, Stella and Tina must come of age side-by-side in a hostile new world with strict expectations for each of them. Soon Stella learns that her survival is worthless without the one thing her family will deny her at any cost: her independence.In present-day Connecticut, one family member tells this heartrending story, determined to understand the persisting rift between the now-elderly Stella and Tina. A richly told debut, The Seven or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna is a tale of family transgressions as ancient and twisted as the olive branch that could heal them."Witty and deeply felt." --Entertainment Weekly (New and Notable)"The Seven or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna achieves what no sweeping history lesson about American immigrants could: It brings to life a woman that time and history would have ignored." --Washington Post

The Ballad of Ben and Stella Mae

The Ballad of Ben and Stella Mae

Matthew Cecil

University Press of Kansas
2016
sidottu
On August 25, 1938, twenty-five-year-old Ben Dickson and his fifteen-year-old wife Stella Mae robbed the Corn Exchange Bank in Elkton, South Dakota, making off with $2,187.64. Two months later they hit a bank in nearby Brookings for $17,593-after waiting two hours for the vault's time-lock to open while the bank's manager went on processing loans for customers. Unfortunately for these two small-time outlaws, the FBI was in short supply of public enemies at the time, and a newly minted Bonnie and Clyde was exactly what J. Edgar Hoover needed to stoke the agency's public relations machine.Retrieving the Dicksons from the fog of history and the hype of the FBI's ""Most Wanted"" narrative, The Ballad of Ben and Stella Mae tells the story of a damaged small-town girl and her petty criminal husband whose low-key crime spree became, as True magazine proclaimed, ""The Crimson Trail of Public Enemies One and Two."" The book follows Stella Mae and Ben from their troubled beginnings in Topeka through the desperate adventure that the FBI recast as a dangerous rampage, stirring a media frenzy and a nationwide manhunt that ended in betrayal and bloodshed: Ben dead, shot in the back outside of a hamburger joint in Forest Park, Missouri, and Stella Mae, a juvenile, put away for ten years.The Dicksons first captured Matthew Cecil's imagination as a teenager in his hometown of Brookings, where their bank robbery remains the stuff of legend. When, many years later, their file turned up in his research into the FBI, the tale of their exploits-and exploitation at the hands of J. Edgar Hoover-proved irresistible. Readers of this Depression-era story, retold here in all its grit and tarnished glory, will find it no less compelling.

Philip Sidney’s Astrophil and Stella

Philip Sidney’s Astrophil and Stella

Derek Soles

PETER LANG PUBLISHING INC
2024
sidottu
This book will help readers understand and appreciate the sonnets and songs that make up Philip Sidney’s Astrophil and Stella, widely regarded as one of the greatest sonnet collections in English literary history. The author provides commentary on each of the 108 sonnets and 11 songs, explaining how each poem contributes to the plot of the story—a compelling tale of a love that is at once beautiful, true, heartfelt, frustrating, stressful, and unrequited. The author illustrates how Sidney riffs brilliantly on the sonnet form, fills his poetry with striking and inventive imagery and metaphor, and uses rhythms and forms rarely used before in English poetry. He discusses the story’s historical, cultural, and biographical contexts, highlighting those sonnets and songs that indicate Astrophil is modelled on Sidney himself, and Penelope on Lady Penelope Devereux, the beautiful daughter of the Earl of Essex and Maid of Honor in the Court of Queen Elizabeth I.
