Kipling's Art of Fiction 1884-1901

Kipling's Art of Fiction 1884-1901

David Sergeant

Oxford University Press
2013
sidottu
Kipling's Art of Fiction 1884-1901 re-establishes its subject as a major artist. Through extended close readings of individual works, and unprecedentedly detailed attention to changes in location and readership, it distinguishes between two kinds of Kipling fiction. The first is coercive and concerned with the authoritarian control of meaning; the second relates less directly to its immediate historical surroundings and is more aesthetically complex. Misunderstandings have often resulted from confusing the two kinds of work. Distinguishing between them allows for a newly coherent account of Kipling's career, both explaining his artistic achievement and making clearer his identity as a political writer. Changes in Kipling's narrative practice are tracked as he moves from India to Britain and the US, and engages with a succession of new audiences and political contexts; detailed readings are provided of such key texts as Plain Tales from the Hills, The Jungle Books and Kim. As well as revealing the precise nature of Kipling's artistry, this book shows how properties of narrative which have been generally underrated -- such as embodiment and externality -- can be used to make sophisticated fictions, and by linking these to Robert Louis Stevenson's discussion of the romance, suggests new ways in which such work might be approached.

The Near Future in Twenty-First-Century Fiction

The Near Future in Twenty-First-Century Fiction

David Sergeant

Cambridge University Press
2022
sidottu
A growing awareness of climate change and looming planetary crisis has put unprecedented pressure on the near future, leading to an increasing amount of fiction being set there. But what do these disparate works have in common, other than their temporal setting? And what can the imagination of the near future tell us about where we live now? The Near Future in 21st Century Fiction ranges across novels and films to reveal how our contemporary near future splits between two divergent paths. One seeks to retreat from climate change and the disruption it threatens to affluent lifestyles; the other tries to imagine new forms of community, and radical change, but struggles to locate a genre adequate to the task. It in this struggle, however, that we begin to glimpse the outlines of an emergent near future form: a revolution fit for the Anthropocene.

Jack was born around 1880, the result of an adulterous one-night stand by his mother, the perpetrator of which was facially scarred for life by her husband. After the family disintegrated, Jack went to Croydon to live with his upmarket prostitute aunt. Later, while working in a local butcher’s, he promised to take one of his customers to a local dance and they became very fond of each other, but, during World War One, as a Sergeant, he saw her killed by a German sniper. Soon, wounded on the Somme, Jack came to the attention of a young nurse, but his school friend, Michael, gets killed in the same battle and it falls to Jack to bury him. He promises Michael that he will live a life for them both. Seriously wounded at Arras City, Jack is repatriated home in time to see his English fiancée die tragically – after which he remains in a drunken stupor for months. After seeing a vision of Michael, who reminds Jack of his promise to live for them both, he asks the nurse from the field hospital to marry him. Will Jack be able to keep his promise?

Sergeant Penny's Dilemma

Sergeant Penny's Dilemma

David John Wiles

Strategic Book Publishing
2022
pokkari
Sergeant Penny was a jovial 40-something policeman in Cornwall. Dedicated to upholding the law, he took his position very seriously, but only up to a point. His one failing was that he sympathized with the wrecking gangs, who earned their living plundering wrecks around local beaches in spells of rough weather.Penny's mentor and lifelong friend was Doctor Mays. Kate Kessell was another of Penny's associates. Kate was pregnant with her seventh child when she survived the cholera pandemic of 1849 that took her six children and her husband. It was Kate who discovered the body of a young woman one foggy night as she was on her way home after visiting her pregnant daughter.The victim's half-naked body was sprawled on the low wall of a bridge over the River Amble - with a fisherman's knife protruding from her chest. This was Penny's first serious case since becoming a policeman, one that would take all his detection skills to unravel a seemingly perfect crime.About the Author: David John Wiles grew up a short walk from the River Thames and a beautiful centuries-old public park near London. He has lived the last 30 years in Cornwall. His first job followed the family tradition of boat building at major boatyards along the Thames. "My two brothers joined the RAF when they were 18, but I fancied the Royal Marines, and became a commando serving in the Far East." Then the author worked in the film industry at three of Britain's major studios until the industry began to wind down due the popularity of television. He then worked at three TV studios. This is his 13th book.

The Taking of Sergeant Gonzalez

The Taking of Sergeant Gonzalez

2019

THE FOLLOWING IS NOT A TRUE STORY. IT NEVER HAPPENED...In The Taking of Sergeant Gonzalez, US Army Sergeant First Class David Gonzalez is snatched off the streets of West Berlin during a special operation run by the Soviet Forces in Germany. Set 110 miles behind the Iron Curtain, and in 1950 West Berlin was well on its way to becoming the Spy capital of the world. The Soviets played almost every trick in the book to get the upper hand over the Western Forces in West Berlin and blatant kidnapping of "key" members of the Western Forces was almost commonplace in West Berlin. Held at and tortured in the notorious Soviet-run Karlshorst Detention Center in East Berlin, Gonzalez was no stranger to what his Russian captors were offering. Having been a Prisoner of War five years prior, Gonzalez is a tough nut to crack. The Soviets call in their top interrogator to break the American. Meanwhile, back in the American Sector, Gonzalez's soldiers do what they can to get their Sergeant back including kidnapping someone they believe is key to Gonzalez's disappearance. This story takes a sudden turn when Gonzalez and his interrogator realize they share a common past. Soon what was supposed to be routine becomes an all-out brawl between duty, honor, country and friendship.
