Though both Willa Cather and E. M. Forster have been alternately praised as progressives and criticized as conservatives, the novels of both writers embody the tenets of liberal humanism, while at the same time reflecting the tensions associated with modernism (though both of these terms have come under intense critical scrutiny in recent years.) And while a few critics have offered brief comparisons of individual works or particular tendencies of Cather and Forster, none has provided the systematic comparative analysis of the relationship between liberal humanist/modernist tensions and the search for transcendence in their work that this book aims to provide. The principal aims of the present study are to locate the imagined alternatives to the "lamentable present" embodied in the novels of both writers and to explore how literature and the arts might assist in transcending the deficiencies and disunities of life in the modern era.

I'll Tell You When I'm Home: A Memoir

Hala Alyan

Simon Schuster Audio
2025
cd
The rich and deeply personal debut memoir by award-winning Palestinian American poet and novelist Hala Alyan, whose experience of motherhood via surrogacy forces her to reckon with her own past, and the legacy of her family's exile and displacement, all in the name of a new future.After a decade of yearning for parenthood, years marked by miscarriage after miscarriage, Hala Alyan makes the decision to use a surrogate. In this charged time, she turns to the archetype of the waiting woman--the Scheherazade who tells stories to ensure another dawn--to confront her own narratives of motherhood, love, and inheritance. As her baby grows in the body of another woman, in another country, Hala finds her own life unraveling--a husband who wants to leave; the cost of past traumas and addictions threatening to resurface; the city of her youth, Beirut, on the brink of crisis. She turns to family stories and communal myths: of grandmothers mapping their lives through Palestine, Kuwait, Syria, Lebanon; of eradicated villages and invading armies; of places of refuge that proved only temporary; of men that left and women that stayed; of the contradictions of her own Midwestern childhood, and adolescence in various Arab cities. Meanwhile, as the baby grows from the size of a poppyseed to a grain of rice, then a lime, and beyond, Hala gathers the stories that are her legacy, setting down the ones that confine, holding close those that liberate. It is emotionally charged, painstaking work, but now the stakes are higher: how to honor ancestors and future generations alike in the midst of displacement? How to impart love for those who are no longer here, for places one can no longer touch? A stunningly lyrical and brutally honest quest for motherhood, selfhood, and peoplehood, I'll Tell You When I'm Home is a powerful story of unraveling and becoming, of destruction and redemption, and of homelands lost and recreated.

After a decade of yearning for parenthood, years marked by miscarriage after miscarriage, Hala Alyan makes the decision to use a surrogate. In this charged time, she turns to the archetype of the waiting woman – the Scheherazade who tells stories to ensure another dawn – to confront her own narratives of motherhood, love and inheritance.

Israel: Das ist eine Herzensangelegenheit - und sie polarisiert. Kaum jemand kann ohne Emotionen an dieses Thema herangehen. Entweder man ist Israel-Gegner oder Bef rworter. Israel-Gegner treten oft scheinheilig auf. Sie akzeptieren gro z gigerweise das "Existenzrecht" des Staates Israel. Aber muss das Recht eines Staates auf seine Existenz denn erst bewiesen werden? W hrend eingefleischte Israel-Hasser und ganze Staatsregierungen wie die des Iran, ganz offen die Aufl sung des Staates Israel fordern, gestehen andere dem j dischen Staat nur eine Art "Minimal-Existenzberechtigung" mit starken Einschr nkungen zu. Schlie lich sei ja der Staat Israel ein k nstliches Gebilde, das von den b sen Zionisten, die ja bekanntlicherweise die ganze Welt beherrschen, in einem arabischen Land namens Pal stina gegr ndet worden, dessen "urspr ngliche Bev lkerung" bestialisch vertrieben worden sei und die seither auf den Tag der R ckkehr in "ihr" Land warte, das ihnen weggenommen worden sei. Viele versuchen ihre Meinung derart zu kaschieren, dass beide "V lker" gleichberechtigt seien und sich einigen m ssten, wie das Staatsgebiet Israels zwischen diesen beiden V lkern aufzuteilen ist. Zu dieser Frage u ern sich alle Staaten und Institution der Welt. Das Schicksal des "pal stinensischen Volkes" scheint allen am Herzen zu liegen. Und wenn Israel von sogenannten Pal stinensern angegriffen wird und es wagt, sein Gebiet zu verteidigen, wird Zeter und Mordio geschrien. Dieses Buch bringt die wahren Hintergr nde ans Licht.

La presente obra trata, esencialmente, de la enorme cantidad de vivencias experimentadas por un servidor durante el periodo de tiempo que va, desde mediados de noviembre de dos mil cinco, a principios de enero de dos mil seis, cincuenta d as, o lo que es lo mismo, mil doscientas horas plagadas de sufrimiento, dolor, situaciones inveros miles, af n de superaci n y esperanza. Jam s hubiera imaginado ni en el m s delirante de mis pensamientos que ser a testigo de algo como lo presenciado durante los cinco d as que estuve en estado de coma. Vaya por delante que esto no trata sobre religi n, sino sobre c mo una persona totalmente sana, deportista, que ni beb a, ni fumaba nada en absoluto, termin desahuciada por la ciencia, debido al deplorable estado de salud en el que me hallaba, luego de pasar cuatro semanas empeorando d a a d a causado por un err neo diagn stico de mi doctora, donde las posibilidades de sobrevivir a una intervenci n quir rgica de urgencia a la que fui sometido, eran de apenas un cinco por ciento. Si es usted una persona a la que le interesan los viajes astrales, sue os l cidos, par lisis del sue o, universos paralelos, incluso pesadillas recurrentes, temas relacionados y en especial, le gustar a saber qu hay en el otro lado de la vida, en el denominado 'El M s All ', entonces, le invito a que siga profundizando en los distintos p rrafos que componen los cap tulos del presente libro. Como pas por situaciones bastante duras y desagradables, le he intentado dar un toque distendido, suavizando lo m s fuerte para que usted no sufra, llore ni pase un mal rato innecesariamente, lo que no significa que sea mentira, ni much simo menos. Tenga en cuenta que todo lo que va a leer est basado en hechos reales, aunque aquello que viv cuando estaba en coma no lo pueda demostrar, claro. Tanto si es usted una persona agn stica, atea o creyente, mi intenci n no es hacerle cambiar de opini n, ni intentar convencerle de nada. Es libre de creer lo que buenamente quiera, s lo faltar a, yo no tengo esa opci n, puesto que lo he vivido en primera persona.
