Green Wheat-Perpustakaan.org
By:Colette
Published on 2004 by
Written in 1923, "Green Wheat "is set in a villa in Brittany and is a story of burgeoning sexuality.
This edition does more than meet Rogow's mark "to do justice to Colette's enormous talent," it presents a great classic to the world once again.
From the Translator's Preface: Of her more than twenty books, "Green Wheat "is perhaps Colette's most polished, most perfect.
It was in Green Wheat that she achieved an exquisite blend of two of her greatest gifts as a fiction writer--her uncanny ability to fathom the hearts of adolescents, and her skill at describing nature with the phrasing of a poet and the colors and light of a great landscape painter.
This combination helps make "Green Wheat "one of the enduring works of fiction of the last 100 years.

Ultimately, the book is a story about the loss of Eden, both of youth and of nature.

It is about the loss of a type of hope, a hope that many of us cling to, that love can somehow escape the imperfections of life.

Dreaming the Graphic Novel-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Paul Williams
Published by Rutgers University PressPublished since 2020-01-17
Winner of the Best Book Award in Comics History from the Grand Comics Database Honorable Mention, 2019-2020 Research Society for American Periodicals Book Prize The term “graphic novel” was first coined in 1964, but it wouldn’t be broadly used until the 1980s, when graphic novels such as Watchmen and Maus achieved commercial success and critical acclaim.
What happened in the intervening years, after the graphic novel was conceptualized yet before it was widely recognized? Dreaming the Graphic Novel examines how notions of the graphic novel began to coalesce in the 1970s, a time of great change for American comics, with declining sales of mainstream periodicals, the arrival of specialty comics stores, and (at least initially) a thriving underground comix scene.
Surveying the eclectic array of long comics narratives that emerged from this fertile period, Paul Williams investigates many texts that have fallen out of graphic novel history.
As he demonstrates, the question of what makes a text a ‘graphic novel’ was the subject of fierce debate among fans, creators, and publishers, inspiring arguments about the literariness of comics that are still taking place among scholars today.
Unearthing a treasure trove of fanzines, adverts, and unpublished letters, Dreaming the Graphic Novel gives readers an exciting inside look at a pivotal moment in the art form’s development.

Author : James Fenimore Cooper
Published by Published since 2018-11-19
The Wing-and-Wing; Or, Le Feu-Follet is an 1842 sea novel by James Fenimore Cooper.
The novel includes a thematic interest in religiosity and faith.
1] The novel also introduces metacriticism into Cooper's sea fiction, as does The Sea Lions, unlike earlier novels which typically also focused on nautical and nationalist themes...James Fenimore Cooper (September 15, 1789 - September 14, 1851) was an American writer of the first half of the 19th century.
His historical romances draw a picture of frontier and American Indian life in the early American days which created a unique form of American literature.
He lived most of his life in Cooperstown, New York, which was founded by his father William on property that he owned.
Cooper was a lifelong member of the Episcopal Church and contributed generously to it.He attended Yale University for three years, where he was a member of the Linonian Society.Cooper served in the U.S.
Navy as a midshipman, which greatly influenced many of his novels and other writings.
The novel that launched his career was The Spy, a tale about counter-espionage set during the American Revolutionary War and published in 1821.He also wrote numerous sea stories, and his best-known works are five historical novels of the frontier period known as the Leatherstocking Tales.
Cooper's works on the U.S.
Navy have been well received among naval historians, but they were sometimes criticized by his contemporaries.
Among his most famous works is the Romantic novel The Last of the Mohicans, often regarded as his masterpiece, (although it was mercilessly mocked by Mark Twain).
