A story of courage, fear and defiance based on the authors own experience. A Pack Horse Called Rachel is the remarkable tale of a girl of twenty, daughter of a Jewish father, caught in the extraordinarily brutal world of France in 1944. Rachel moves through the pages of the book with her faithful dog Nourse, as her work with the Maquis based in the Auvergne takes her perilously close to danger. The account is based on personal experience, and the description of historical events is as true as memory will allow. It is beautifully written and at the same time captures the painful and lonely reality of life in the Maquis. Although all names have been changed the writing includes some fine characterisations of the friends and foes the heroine meets and it describes the hardships resistance fighters, the 'Maquis', in the Auvergne had to face, the climate prevailing in winter, the Vichy traitors and the hostility of ordinary people in Vichy France Rachel overcomes the initial animosity and mistrust of the lecherous and alcoholic farmer Raboullet on whom she comes to rely; the wrath of the Gestapo, the betrayal of St Pr , a love and its tragic loss. From the opening raid to the closing trial of St Pr the book gives an incisive view, as we understand the mind and soul of the resistance better with each page.

REUBEN AND RACHEL

REUBEN AND RACHEL

Rowson Susanna

Broadview Press Ltd
2009
nidottu
Susanna Haswell Rowson, a popular and prolific writer, actress, and educator in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, had a truly transatlantic life and career, moving twice from England to America and publishing extensively in both countries. A transatlantic sensibility informs her fictionalised “history” of America, Reuben and Rachel, which traces ten generations of an extended family, beginning with the marriage of Christopher Columbus’s son to a native Peruvian princess, moving through the Tudor succession crises and the colonial settlement of New England, and ending with the title characters, who leave England for America, renounce titles of nobility, and consider their children “true-born Americans.” In Rowson’s representation, the American character derives from fusion and hybridity, the results of intermarriage across racial, religious and national lives.

My Name Is Rachel Corrie

My Name Is Rachel Corrie

Alan Rickman; Katharine (EDT) Viner

Theatre Communications Group Inc.,U.S.

"A powerful, thought-provoking and deeply moving piece of theatre."--"Daily Telegraph" "Theatre can't change the world. But what it can do, when it's as good as this, is to send us out enriched by other people's passionate concern."--"Guardian" "I have been in Palestine for two weeks and one hour now, and I still have very few words to describe what I see. I don't know if many of the children here have ever existed without tank-shell holes in their walls. You just can't imagine it unless you see it. And even then your experience is not at all the reality . . . due to] the fact that I have money to buy water when the army destroys wells, and of course, the fact that I have the option of leaving. I am allowed to see the ocean."--Rachel Corrie On March 16, 2003, Rachel Corrie, a twenty-three-year-old American, was killed by an Israeli bulldozer in the Gaza Strip as she was trying to prevent the demolition of the Palestinian homes. "My Name is Rachel Corrie" is a one-woman play composed from Rachel's own journals, letters, and e-mails--creating a portrait of a messy, skinny, articulate, Salvador Dali-loving chain-smoker (with a passion for the music of Pat Benatar), who left home and school in Olympia, Washington, "to support Palestinian non-violent resistance to Israel's military occupation." The piece premiered at London's Royal Court Theatre, with an award-winning, sold-out run, before its transfer to the West End.
