Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Journey through Story to Poṉṉivaḷa Nāḍu: An Ancient Tamil Kingdom This remarkable epic-length legend presents a rich and well-rounded view of local South Asian folk history, masterfully interwoven with many social themes and multiple layers of religious tradition. The text provides a lively read and can be enjoyed by students of all backgrounds and levels. This richly decorated oral telling combines numerous poetic songs with direct conversations and detailed narrative passages. The descriptive segments help to advance a broader story trajectory, leading the reader towards a long-foretold, yet still surprising, conclusion. In 1965 a highly respected troubadour duo, C. Rāmacāmi of Erucaṇampāḷayam, and his nephew Paḷaṇicāmi, sang this magnificent legend in front of a live South Indian village audience. It took them eighteen nights to complete this tale! Weeks later the senior performer, Rāmacāmi, patiently dictated this same story to a local assistant who was working for the translator at the time. The text was meticulously written down by hand, phrase-by-phrase, over many days. Both bards wanted to preserve a story they knew in their hearts was truly unique and sacred. Each gave the present collector permission to share the words of this tale. They wanted the whole world to learn about a great legend they had themselves spent years learning. This story is about the potential for social renewal and those two singers believed it could better the lives of all who listened to it. Fifty-five years later, following in in the footsteps of these two men, their enthusiasm has now born fruit in a book they had both hoped for but could never have written themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Will Find the Golden River offers the unique perspective of a young man, Dietz Heller, coming of age in Germany before and during WWII. Although not a Nazi, he struggled to make sense of the new Nazi leadership. This is also the story of two childhood best friends, their vow not to listen to Nazi propaganda, and their fight for freedom. Dietz Heller was a German boy growing up in Nazi Germany in a home without a father present. He volunteered to go into the army during WWII to fulfill part of the mandatory time in the army. His family members were not Nazis. His grandmother was American. They did not expect the war to last very long because there was not fighting anymore. Poland, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, and France had already been conquered. Then Hitler made a fatal mistake and attacked Russia, breaking a non-aggression pact which Germany hailed after it was signed. Dietz was furious about the decision but he was sent to Russia as an army radio operator. He thought that this way he would not have to kill anyone. The hardships of the war in Russia would test him physically and mentally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proud of Their Heritage and Sustained by Their Faith, They Came to Tame a New Land She had promised herself that once they left the fjords of Norway, she would not look back. After three long years of scrimping and saving to buy tickets for their passage to America, Roald and Ingeborg Bjorklund, along with their son, Thorliff, finally arrive at the docks of New York City. It was the promise of free land that fed their dream and lured them from their beloved home high above the fjords of Norway in 1880. Together with Roald's brother Carl and his family, they will build a good life in a new land that promises untold wealth and vast farmsteads for their children. As they join the throngs of countless immigrants passing through Castle Garden, they soon discover that nothing is as they had envisioned it. Appalled by the horrid stories of fellow immigrants bilked of all their money and forced to live in squalid living conditions, the Bjorklunds continue their long journey by train as far as Grand Forks. From there a covered wagon takes them into Dakota Territory, where they settle on the banks of the Red River. But there was no way for them to foresee the price they will have to pay to wrest a living from the indomitable land. The virgin prairie refuses to yield its treasure without a struggle. Will they be strong enough to overcome the hardships of that first winter?

Book excerpt: "A beautifully written informal account of the Tampa Bay region."--Library Journal "A colorful history of Tampa Bay, the Hillsborough River which flows into it, and the cities of Tampa and St. Petersburg, together with their smaller satellite communities."-- Publishers Weekly From its idyllic source in the Green Swamp, the Hillsborough River winds past columns of cypress and matted shrubs and opens into Tampa Bay, part of Florida's urbanized, publicized western Suncoast. The river is not a long one, but the size of its legend in contemporary America is far-reaching. Many factors have made the area special: its natural history; its successive waves of immigrants; its wars, booms, and depressions. The cigar industry, banana exporting, cattle raising, fishing, and retirement have attracted many settlers in search of the "Golden Ibis." All too often the vision has proved elusive, but for some, like Henry Plant and Doc Webb, the spectacular was possible. For others, like the Seminoles, a way of life ended. In a narrative that is as exciting to read as it is historically compelling, Gloria Jahoda traces the Hillsborough River's origin to prehistoric times, chronicles the arrivals of the conquistadores, the missionaries, and the marauders greedy for civilizing and for treasure, and points out how 20th-century ambitions threaten to destroy the environment as surely as earlier encroachment annihilated native peoples. Gloria Jahoda, who lived in Tallahassee, Florida, was the author of The Other Florida, The Road to Samarkand, and the novels Annie and Delilah's Mountain. She died in 1980. River of the Golden Ibis was originally published in 1973.

Book excerpt: Step into a world of enchantment and moral lessons with "The King of the Golden River" by John Ruskin, a classic fairy tale that has delighted readers of all ages since its first publication in 1851. This captivating story combines adventure, magic, and ethical teachings in a narrative that is as charming as it is profound. Set in the idyllic Treasure Valley, the tale follows the fortunes of three brothers: the kind and gentle Gluck, and his two cruel and greedy brothers, Hans and Schwartz. The valley, once a paradise, falls under a curse due to the brothers' misdeeds, turning it into a barren wasteland. The once-thriving land now offers nothing but hardship, reflecting the brothers' own corrupt hearts. The story takes a magical turn when Gluck encounters a mysterious figure known as the King of the Golden River. This mystical being reveals that the river can return the valley to its former glory, but only under specific conditions. To transform the river into pure gold, Gluck must climb to its source and pour into it three drops of holy water, given with a pure and selfless heart. As Gluck embarks on this challenging quest, he faces numerous trials that test his character and resolve. Along the way, he encounters fantastical creatures and moral dilemmas, each one teaching him and the reader valuable lessons about kindness, generosity, and the importance of selflessness. Ruskin's masterful storytelling is complemented by his rich, descriptive prose and vivid imagery, bringing the tale's magical landscapes and characters to life. The narrative is both entertaining and instructive, offering timeless wisdom through Gluck's journey and ultimate transformation. "The King of the Golden River" is more than just a fairy tale; it is a reflection on human nature and the power of goodness to overcome adversity. Its themes of redemption, the consequences of greed, and the rewards of virtue resonate deeply, making it a meaningful read for both children and adults. Perfect for bedtime reading, family story time, or as a cherished addition to any literary collection, "The King of the Golden River" is a timeless classic that continues to inspire and enchant. Join Gluck on his magical quest and discover why this story has remained a beloved favorite for over a century.

Download or read book Hidden Paradigms written by Brenda E.F. Beck and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2023-03-30 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding an epic story’s key belief patterns can reveal community-level values, the nature of familial bonds, and how divine and human concerns jockey for power and influence. These foundational motifs remain understudied as they relate to South Asian folk legends, but are nonetheless crucial in shaping the values exemplified by such stories’ central heroes and heroines. In Hidden Paradigms, anthropologist Brenda E.F. Beck describes The Legend of Ponnivala, an oral epic from rural South India. Recorded in 1965, this story was sung to a group of village enthusiasts by a respected pair of local bards. This grand legend took more than thirty-eight hours to complete over eighteen nights. Bringing this unique example of Tamil culture to the attention of an international audience, Beck compares this virtually unknown South Indian epic to five other culturally significant works – the Ojibwa Nanabush cycle, the Mahabharata, an Icelandic Saga, the Bible, and the Epic of Gilgamesh – establishing this foundational Tamil story as one that engages with the same universal human struggles and themes present throughout the world. Copiously illustrated, Hidden Paradigms provides a fresh example of the power of comparative thinking, offering a humanistic complement to scientific reasoning.
