National Book Award Finalist—Fiction It is 1870 and Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd travels through northern Texas, giving live readings to paying audiences hungry for news of the world.
An elderly widower who has lived through three wars and fought in two of them, the captain enjoys his rootless, solitary existence.
In Wichita Falls, he is offered a $50 gold piece to deliver a young orphan to her relatives in San Antonio.
Four years earlier, a band of Kiowa raiders killed Johanna’s parents and sister; sparing the little girl, they raised her as one of their own.
Recently rescued by the U.S.
army, the ten-year-old has once again been torn away from the only home she knows.
Their 400-mile journey south through unsettled territory and unforgiving terrain proves difficult and at times dangerous.
Johanna has forgotten the English language, tries to escape at every opportunity, throws away her shoes, and refuses to act “civilized.” Yet as the miles pass, the two lonely survivors tentatively begin to trust each other, forging a bond that marks the difference between life and death in this treacherous land.
Arriving in San Antonio, the reunion is neither happy nor welcome.
The captain must hand Johanna over to an aunt and uncle she does not remember—strangers who regard her as an unwanted burden.
A respectable man, Captain Kidd is faced with a terrible choice: abandon the girl to her fate or become—in the eyes of the law—a kidnapper himself.
Exquisitely rendered and morally complex, News of the World is a brilliant work of historical fiction that explores the boundaries of family, responsibility, honor, and trust.
Philosophy and the Novel-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Alan H. Goldman
Published by OUP OxfordPublished since 2013-04-05
Alan H.
Goldman presents an original and lucid account of the relationship between philosophy and the novel.
In the first part, on philosophy of novels, he defends theories of literary value and interpretation.
Literary value, the value of literary works as such, is a species of aesthetic value.
Goldman argues that works have aesthetic value when they simultaneously engage all our mental capacities: perceptual, cognitive, imaginative, and emotional.
This view contrasts with now prevalent narrower formalist views of literary value.
According to it, cognitive engagement with novels includes appreciation of their broad themes and the theses these imply, often moral and hence philosophical theses, which are therefore part of the novels' literary value.
Interpretation explains elements of works so as to allow readers maximum appreciation, so as to maximize the literary value of the texts as written.
Once more, Goldman's view contrasts with narrower views of literary interpretation, especially those which limit it to uncovering what authors intended.
One implication of Goldman's broader view is the possibility of incompatible but equally acceptable interpretations, which he explores through a discussion of rival interpretations of Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises.
Goldman goes on to test the theory of value by explaining the immense appeal of good mystery novels in its terms.
The second part of the book, on philosophy in novels, explores themes relating to moral agency—moral development, motivation, and disintegration—in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn, John Irving's The Cider House Rules, and Joseph Conrad's Nostromo.
By narrating the course of characters' lives, including their inner lives, over extended periods, these novels allow us to vicariously experience the characters' moral progressions, positive and negative, to learn in a more focused way moral truths, as we do from real life experiences.

A Dual Inheritance-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Joanna Hershon
Published by Published since 2013
For readers of Rules of Civility and The Marriage Plot, Joanna Hershon’s A Dual Inheritance is an engrossing novel of passion, friendship, betrayal, and class—and their reverberations across generations.
Autumn 1962: Ed Cantowitz and Hugh Shipley meet in their final year at Harvard.
Ed is far removed from Hugh’s privileged upbringing as a Boston Brahmin, yet his drive and ambition outpace Hugh’s ambivalence about his own life.
These two young men form an unlikely friendship, bolstered by a fierce shared desire to transcend their circumstances.
But in just a few short years, not only do their paths diverge—one rising on Wall Street, the other becoming a kind of global humanitarian—but their friendship ends abruptly, with only one of them understanding why.
Can a friendship define your view of the world? Spanning from the Cuban Missile Crisis to the present-day stock market collapse, with locations as diverse as Dar es Salaam, Boston, Shenzhen, and Fishers Island, A Dual Inheritance asks this question, as it follows not only these two men, but the complicated women in their vastly different lives.
And as Ed and Hugh grow farther and farther apart, they remain uniquely—even surprisingly—connected.
Advance praise for A Dual Inheritance “A Dual Inheritance is a big, captivating, multigenerational sweep of a romance, ranging from Africa to China to New England’s blue-blooded enclaves.
With deftness and swagger, Joanna Hershon spins the intertwining of two Harvard men’s lives into a searching exploration of class and destiny in late-twentieth-century America.”—Jennifer Egan, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of A Visit from the Goon Squad “Joanna Hershon has written a vivid, elegant novel that deftly roams the decades and the globe in telling a story about friendship, family, and the murky area in between.
A Dual Inheritance is a rich and satisfying read.”—Maggie Shipstead, author of Seating Arrangements “Simultaneously a riveting story of two very different families and a portrait of the United States through the boom and bust decades .
.
.
Think of Anne Tyler and Tom Wolfe, both.
This marvelous novel is a mix of heartache and history.
I just couldn’t stop reading, and when it was over I felt sad the experience had ended.”—Victor LaValle, author of The Devil in Silver “Joanna Hershon is further evidence of a pleasing trend set off by Jonathan Franzen’s Freedom and Jeffrey Eugenides’s The Marriage Plot: big books about American politics, social customs, and family dynamics that seek to update and relocate the brilliantly compelling English nineteenth-century novel.
I envy and admire Hershon’s ability to so convincingly display the complex intimacies of multigenerational love and friendship.
This is a book to lose yourself in.”—Antonya Nelson, author of Bound “Wise, heartfelt, and beautifully written, A Dual Inheritance is about the big things: love, work, family, money.
It earns its ambitions and is astonishingly good.
I just loved this novel.”—Joshua Henkin, author of The World Without You “A Dual Inheritance is deep and beautiful and humane.
It has a massive scope and a social conscience, and yet is also incredibly intimate.
What an accomplished novel; it truly took my breath away.”—Jennifer Gilmore, author of The Mothers
