Описание: Library of America presents a definitive collection of classic Westerns by America's master modern crime writer One of the great storytellers of our time, Elmore Leonard perfected his craft writing Westerns, a genre he loved. These tales--some adapted into such outstanding films as Hombre, Valdez Is Coming, and 3:10 to Yuma--are unexcelled for their wiry tautness, sharp characterizations, and jolts of unexpected humor. For sheer stripped-down narrative tension Leonard never did anything better, and the fresh twists he finds in resolving the genre's classic confrontations reveal a master at work. Whether describing a Civil War veteran coming back to find his homestead stolen (Last Stand at Saber River), a man raised by Apaches treated with contempt by the white settlers who will ultimately depend on him for their survival (Hombre), a local constable, tricked into killing an innocent man, fighting back against the powerful man who duped him (Valdez Is Coming), or two convicts in a desert prison--one African American and the other half-Apache--plotting a near-impossible escape (Forty Lashes Less One), Leonard's westerns are tough, suspenseful, convincing, and beautifully spare in style. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America's best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.

Описание:
Explores how nineteenth-century novels analysed the formal and social workings of news
Argues that the concept of fake news was central to the development of the novel form
Demonstrates that novelistic realism develops in tension with emerging claims to reality in the newspaper press
Contributes to a new wave of scholarship on formal devices in the history of the novel, made most visible by the V21 Collective
Appeals to scholars in media, literary, and novel studies, as well as a broader public because it traces early theorisations of news discourse
Draws upon a real Victorian news story in each of the first three chapters
This book shows that novelists often responded to newspapers by reworking well-known events covered by Victorian newspapers in their fictions. Each chapter addresses a different narrative modality and its relationship to the news: Charles Dickens interrogates the distinctions between fictional and journalistic storytelling, while Anthony Trollope explores novelistic bildung in serial form; the sensation novels of Wilkie Collins and Mary Elizabeth Braddon locate melodrama in realist discourses, whereas Anglo-Jewish writer Israel Zangwill represents a hybrid minority experience. At the core of these metaphors and narrative forms is a theorisation of the newspaper’s influence on society.

Описание: The Return of the Horseman continues the saga of Francisco Cordova, known to his friends as Cisco. Army buddies gave him this nickname because his prowess with firearms was reminiscent of the legendary Mexican cowboy of the old west-the Cisco Kid, made famous in the writings of O'Henry. It is not my intention to bore the reader with a lengthy introduction as found in some books. I do feel it necessary for the reader to know about this extraordinary young man. He is not arrogant, proud, or egotistical. He has characteristics that set him apart from most men. He inherited the abilities of a horse whisperer from both sides of his family. His mother was Esperansa Garcia Cordova. His uncle was Felix Garcia. Felix is the head horse trainer on the large Judge John Trully horse ranch, just as his father and grandfather were before him. Francisco's father died when he was five years old from the effects of mustard gas in the Great War of 1918. The Garcia and Cordova families have worked on the Trully family ranch and large farm for three generations. In nineteenth and twentieth century Texas, Mexican Americans were considered second-class citizens. They were referred to as Tejanos (Texas-born Mexicans). However, this was not true with Judge John Trully. He was a devout Christian who accepted the two families as beloved employees. He considered them members of his household. Esperansa was known as Mamacita by her son, Francisco, and by Rose, who was Judge Trully's daughter. She raised Rose from infancy. Rose's mother had died in childbirth with her stillborn second child. Because he was two years older than Rose, it was Francisco's job to look after and be responsible for her.

Описание: Discover new realms of outer space in this picture book biography of scientist Gabriela Gonzalez, who immigrated to America and became a ground-breaking scientist. Written by a molecular biologist and illustrated by an award-winning artist, this stunning picture book explores science, space, and history. In 1916, Albert Einstein had a theory. He thought that somewhere out in the universe, there were collisions in space. These collisions could cause little sound waves in the fabric of space-time that might carry many secrets of the distant universe. But it was only a theory. He could not prove it in his lifetime.
Many years later, an immigrant scientist named Gabriela Gonzalez asked the same questions. Armed with modern technology, she joined a team of physicists who set out to prove Einstein's theory. At first, there was nothing. But then... they heard a sound. Gabriela and her team examined, and measured, and re-measured until they were sure.
Completing the work that Albert Einstein had begun 100 years earlier, Gonzalez broke ground for new space-time research. In a fascinating picture book that covers 100 years, 2 pioneering scientists, and 1 trailblazing discovery, Patricia Valdez sheds light on a little known but extraordinary story.
