Описание:
The saga of the Choosers of the Slain continues.
Odin the One-Eyed Wanderer has dismissed Brynhild from the sisterhood of the Valkyries for disobedience. Stabbing her with the sleep-thorn, he condemns her to sleep until "sons are sires" and a man comes who will be her equal. But if she loses her maidenhood, she will lose both her magical youth and her strength.
Brynhild opens her eyes in a strange, icy land to see Siegfried, a man who seems half-God himself.
If he is a sending of Odin, does Siegfried's outstretched hand mean a hopeful future?
Описание: The Chamberlin Reader reveals the origins and methods of legendary American horseman, Harry Chamberlin's riding system and tells the story of how American riding evolved in the twentieth century.
The Chamberlin Reader contains Chamberlin's difficult-to-find writings on:
Jumping
Evaluating horses and their conformation
Re-training off-the-track Thoroughbreds, polo ponies, and cavalry horses
Developing the rider's seat
Riding cross-country
Training methods that helped William Steinkraus win Olympic Gold in 1968
Excerpts from texts that Chamberlin studied at West Point and in the basic and the advanced horsemanship courses at Ft. Riley's Mounted Service School.
And a rich collection of rare photos including:
Never-before-published photos of the Inter-Allied Games of 1919 where the Italian jumping performance causes American officers to question traditional principles
Reprint of a rare French cavalry booklet that describes in photos the Cavalry School at Saumur published when Chamberlin studied there
Photos of Tor di Quinto where Chamberlin astounded his teachers while evaluating the Italian jumping and training methods\
Photos of the 1932 Olympics where the United States won its first Gold medals in Eventing and where Chamberlin won the Silver medal in Stadium Jumping
Photos of the Chamberlin inspired methods of Ft. Riley.
The Chamberlin Reader describes the milestones in Harry Chamberlin's career during which he created the foundation for what George H. Morris calls "The American Jumping Style"and establishes what James Wofford calls "a whole new system" for training horses and riders.
This book is the companion volume to General Chamberlin: America's Equestrian Genius and contains valuable insights into the art and science of riding and training horses.
Описание: Taking its cue from Perry Miller’s 1956 classic of American literary criticism, The Raven and the Whale: The War of Words and Wits in the Era of Poe and Melville, Caroline Chamberlin Hellman’s new book examines ways in which contemporary multi-ethnic American writers of the United States have responded to nineteenth- and early twentieth-century texts historically central to the American literary canon.Each chapter of Children of the Raven and the Whale looks down the roads American literature ultimately traveled, examining pairs and constellations of texts in conversation. In their rewritings and layerings of new stories over older ones, contemporary writers forge ahead in their interrogations of a spectrum of American experience, whether they or their characters are native to the United States, first- or second-generation immigrants, or transnational. Revealing the traces of texts by writers such as Walt Whitman, Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Richard Wright, and James Baldwin lying beneath contemporary American literature by Chang-rae Lee, Jonathan Lethem, Jhumpa Lahiri, Junot D?az, Joseph O’Neill, Colum McCann, and Ta-Nehisi Coates, Caroline Chamberlin Hellman posits the existence of a twenty-first-century American Renaissance.

Описание: The July 1936 coup detat against the Spanish Second Republic brought together a diversity of anti-Republican political and social groups under the leadership of rebel Africanista military officers. In the ensuing Civil War this coalition gradually came under the rule of Generalissimo Franco. This volume explores the hypothesis that the violence and combat experiences of the war were the fundamental ideological crucible for the Francoist regime. The rebels were a group of reactionary and anti-liberal forces with little ideological or political coherence, but they emerged from the conflict not only victorious but ideologically united under the dictators power. Key to understanding this transition are the different political cultures of the rebel army, how the combatants war experiences contributed to the transformation of diverse rebel groups, and the role of foreign armed intervention. The contributors examine not only the endogenous Spanish political and military cultures of the Francoist coalition, but also the transnational influence of foreign groups. The roots of Francoist political culture are found in the Falangist and Carlist militias, and Civil Guard units, that lent their support to the military rebellion. The war experiences of conscripts, colonial troops, and junior officers forged the Francoist ideology. It was reinforced by fascist influences and assistance from Germany and Italy, and the lesser-known contributions of Swiss and White Russian volunteers. At the beginning of the conflict the rebel side was not homogeneous. But it weaved together a complex, transnational web of political and military interests in the midst of a bloody and destructive war, transforming itself in the process to a political and dictatorial platform that was to rule Spain for many years.

Описание: Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Maine coast, Holly Chamberlin's novels are a summer staple. Now she weaves a heartfelt story of past and present summers and new beginnings, as a mother and daughter reconnect after decades apart... There are moments that change your entire life's direction. For Arden Bell, owner of a cherished bookstore in the seaside hamlet of Eliot's Corner, one such moment comes early on a summer day when she opens the door to Laura Huntington--the daughter she hasn't seen in thirty-seven years. Not a day has passed in which Arden hasn't thought of the baby she glimpsed only once before her wealthy, powerful parents forced her to give her up for adoption. Shy and sheltered, Arden finally mustered the courage to leave her Maine hometown of Port George, changed her name, and has barely seen her parents since. Nor has she heard from Rob, the boy she was so passionately in love with. Now Laura's arrival, and her inevitable questions, will propel both women on a journey to forge a new relationship and unravel the past. Amid revelations and discoveries--sometimes painful, often unexpected--they will learn the truth about a long-ago summer, and about the risks we take and sacrifices we make for love.
