Поставляется из: Англии
Описание: A fresh, original history of Americas national narratives, told through the loss, recovery, and rise of one influential Puritan sermon from 1630 to the present day

Americans are transiting to a new political chapter. They may want their city to shine again. How can they reconnect to their historical vision of their countrys special mission? Thankfully, a fascinating guide for that task is right at hand, an elegant piece of historical detective work by . . . Abram Van Engen.--David Frum, The Atlantic

[An] important book . . . We can be grateful that Van Engen has taught us so much about the misuses--and the possible appropriate uses--of John Winthrops vision.--Richard Mouw, Comment

In this illuminating book, Abram C. Van Engen shows how the phrase city on a hill, from a 1630 sermon by Massachusetts Bay governor John Winthrop, shaped the story of American exceptionalism in the twentieth century.

By tracing the history of Winthrops speech, its changing status through time, and its use in modern politics, Van Engen asks us to reevaluate our national narratives. He tells the story of curators, librarians, collectors, archivists, antiquarians, and other often anonymous figures who emphasized the role of the Pilgrims and Puritans in American history, paving the way for the saving and sanctifying of a single sermon and its eventual transformation into an American tale. This sermons rags-to-riches rise reveals the way national stories take shape and shows us how they continue to influence competing visions of the country--the many different meanings of America that emerge from its literary past.

Описание:

A usurper queen on a stolen throne.

A princess imprisoned, enslaved, and believed dead by her people.

A foreign prince searching for his sister.

Each entangled in a curse that threatens all of the Seven Kingdoms.

Crown Princess Winterberry's stepmother will do anything to prevent her ascension--even if it means assassinating her. And on the eve of the princess's twenty-first birthday, Queen Blanche arrests Winterberry under false claims of treason.

Although a long-standing prophecy proclaims death to anyone who kills a Canens royal, Blanche is determined to find a way. Step one goes off without a hitch: auction off the true heir as an incognito slave and send her halfway across Canens with Blanche's most trusted huntsman.

But on the other side of the Seven Kingdoms, an enemy prince gambles his throne and his life, crossing into Canens after his kidnapped sister. The farther he travels, the more entangled he becomes in the Canens Curse, the slavery underworld, and Princess Winterberry herself. Soon, even he doesn't realize how much more is at stake.

Enter the cursed world of the Seven Kingdoms in book one of this Snow White retelling, where you will find elements of Red Riding Hood and other beloved faery tales.
