1000 tulosta hakusanalla Cynthiann Curwood
Jaden Hori is a studious girl who has lost sight of the magic in the world. On a walk in the park, she winds up in the magical kingdom of Serendip. There she meets Merry Andrew, the handsome rebel who is fighting to restore the monarchy when he is not romancing the ladies of the realm. Jaden's journey takes her north to the mountains and on this daunting trek she encounters dragons big and small, not one but two goddesses, and many other extraordinary creatures, but ultimately it is the Snow Dragon; the white jade figurine given to her by her grandmother for protection that saves the day.

Why do Americans go to the grocery store to buy wine from California, Italy, or New Zealand, when many of us can find an independent winery thirty minutes down the road? Why are locally grown and produced wines so often disdained when locally grown food is upheld as the gold standard? The U.S. wine industry has lagged behind Europe’s for far too long for reasons that have little to do with taste or quality, and Prohibition’s disruption of domestic wine production provides only part of the explanation. In Chasing Cynthiana Lynn Hamilton reveals that Americans have far more wine options than they realize. One of those options, made from Norton grapes, has a rich but mostly forgotten history, entwined with the pioneering of America’s western states. But Norton (also known as Cynthiana) is often pushed aside to make way for wine varietals from France and Italy. Is the wine drinker’s preference for certain grapes rooted in necessity or tradition? How will climate change alter America’s traditional wine regions? Hamilton considers these and other questions as she journeys through some of America’s hidden pockets of wine in this exploration of winemaking’s history in the United States. Infused with humor and whimsy, Chasing Cynthiana challenges the wine industry’s snobbery as well as its complacency when it comes to American vintages.

War brings out the best and the worst in humanity-and from these times arise some of the most compelling human stories. Kentucky Raider is the account of one such time. Commodore Perry "CP" Snell is a Confederate cavalryman during the Civil War, serving with the 2nd Kentucky Cavalry regiment known as John Hunt Morgan's Guerrilla Band-Morgan's Raiders for short. This group of soldiers conducts the war's longest, most northerly invasion of Union territory, and on their last raid capture Union General Edward Henry Hobson at Cynthiana, Kentucky. Snell keeps General Hobson's order book as a memento, and it has remained unpublished for 150 years. Now, this order book provides new insight into General Hobson's strategies to stop the rebel raiders. The story begins with Snell's indictment for conspiracy and follows his entire Civil War experience. Wrought with violence, passion, and vanished Yankee gold, Snell's life is one of a common man caught up in an extraordinary time. Complete with detailed military maps, photographs, and legal documents, this fresh look at one of the most controversial men in the Civil War also speaks to our forefathers' fears of a strong, centralized government-fears still held by many US citizens today.
Jonathan could do nothing to stop his wife's losing battle with cancer. With twenty years into the ministry, he can't believe the Lord would leave him with both an empty nest and empty spot on the other side of the bed. Kat, music teacher and mother of grown twins, feels settled in small-town Texas. Life may be dull, but it's predictable, unlike her life with her late husband. Kat concludes a happy, committed relationship with a male is impossible, so she makes peace with herself. If nuns can live celibate, why can't she? One Sunday, Jonathan spies a golden beam of light descending upon Kat while she's directing the choir. Why hasn't he noticed how beautiful she was before? From here on out, Jonathan knows he'll be preachin' to the choir, but will Kat-and his congregation and their children-let him?
Propertius is a poet of the Augustan period, a successor of the great Hellenistic elegiac poets Callimachus and Philitas, and a precursor of Ovid. His account of his fictionalized affair with his beloved alter ego Cynthia is the purest expression of the spirit of love elegy, setting them as a pair against war, epic, and (apparently) Augustus himself. This is an author read by virtually all students of Classical Latin. Cynthia provides a lucid attempt to understand and correct the many difficulties in the transmitted text. It consists of a commentary on the whole corpus, together with a prose translation (including alternative versions of ambiguous phrasing). In its clear exposition of technical problems, the book will serve as an introduction to Latin textual criticism in the modern age, and to elegiac poetic style.

"Cohen has succeeded in showing a fusion of Ozick's writing as sacred and comic. Defining humor broadly, Cohen persuasively argues that levity and liturgy are natural companions, enriching each other, especially in the creative imagination of Cynthia Ozick." —Midstream " . . . a thoughtful introduction to a monumental though underrated writer." —SHOFAR "This study is a welcome addition to the growing body of scholarly criticism of Ozick and focuses on her comedic style." —Choice "Cohen has written an important . . . book, one that celebrates Ozick's 'liturgical laughter,' emphasizing on every occasion the connection between the comic and the sacred. It is a connection we should be reminded of often." —Belles Lettres "Cohen's readings of these stories reveal their many levels and meanings in a language as acute and perceptive as that of Ozick herself." —St. Louis Post-Dispatch Magazine "In presenting Ozick as a 'comedian of ideas,' Sarah Blacher Cohen has raised the study of Ozick to a new level." —Alan L. Berger "[Cohen] understands Ozick's hybrid conception of human nature, her realization that the secret source of humor is not joy but sorrow and that the ironic mode . . . is the best way of telling the truth." —Daniel Walden
