Free Download Regina Grol, "Saving the Tremors of Past Lives: A Cross-Generational Holocaust Memoir "
English | ISBN: 1618112562 | 2014 | 186 pages | PDF | 16 MB
The Jewish community of the Polish border town of Brześć (Brisk in Yiddish), which had numbered almost 30,000 people, was wiped out during the Holocaust, with only about 10 of its members surviving. One of them was Masza Pinczuk, who escaped from the Brześć ghetto on the eve of its liquidation on Oct.15, 1942. Her future husband succeeded in escaping from the Warsaw ghetto. They were the sole survivors of their respective families, and in this volume their daughter, Regina Grol, shares their story and meditates on the legacy of the Holocaust, exploring the lingering impact of the Holocaust on the following generations. Based on interviews and letters, and checked against historical facts, the book includes supporting documents and photographs. It also contains an account of the author's "internal flanerie" (to use Walter Benjamin's term), i.e., a retrospective and introspective look at her own life as a child of Holocaust survivors.

For decades, T. J. Bryan devoted herself to her profession, rising upward constantly. Suddenly, after reaching the pinnacle of her career, she was pushed from her lofty position. To save herself from despair, she, at age 64, impulsively decided to become a distance runner. Up to this point, her only athletic success revolved around aerobics classes when she was in her 40s and early 50s. When she became a runner, she competed in races of varying distances and developed a love of marathons although, as an African-American woman, she encountered few women of her age and even fewer women of her race competing at this distance. In ten years of running and racing, she discovered much about herself and joined a family that supported and encouraged her. Occasionally gritty and at times magical, her story is inspirational.

On a moonless night in August 1943, a US torpedo boat commanded by Lt John F Kennedy, on patrol in Solomon Islands, was rammed by a Japanese destroyer. Left clinging to wreckage within sight of Japanese encampments, the eleven surviving members of Kennedy' s crew eventually struggled ashore on a small uninhabited island. Missing, presumed dead, behind enemy lines, with no food or water, and with several injured, the future looked bleak for the shipwrecked Americans. Fortunately, Australian ' coast watcher' Lt Reg Evans witnessed the immediate aftermath of the collision from his nearby jungle hideaway. Working under the searching eye of the Japanese military, over the next five days Evans and two Solomon Islander scouts - Eroni Kumana and Biuku Gasa - located Kennedy and his crew and ensured their rescue. This story of wartime bravery and survival helped create JFK' s legend and paved his way to the White House. It also shone a spotlight on Australia and America' s shared wartime experience.

Free Download Robert Savino Oventile, "Satan's Secret Daughters: The Muse as Daemon"
English | ISBN: 1934542334 | 2014 | 406 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Satan's Secret Daughters explores the nihilistic fate of demonization that muses undergo in the wake of Christianity. Heraclitus names the being calling us to our fates a daemon. Homer's Iliad affirms Athena as Achilles's daemonic muse. In Proverbs, Wisdom inspires God to let the creation be. But the New Testament knows the daemonic as demonic, as being of Satan and so ultimately of nothingness. Displaced by Christ, Wisdom joins Athena in the exile into nothingness that Christian monotheism would effect. However, Athena and Wisdom return in English literature as ambiguously daemonic and demonic muses who inspire their votaries to grapple with nihilism. Satan's Secret Daughters tracks the fate of daemonic muses in Shakespeare's Othello, Milton's Paradise Lost, and Melville's Moby-Dick. Such muses come to an aging mercenary (Othello), a prideful archangel (Satan), and a wounded sea-captain (Ahab), inspiring each toward an impossible restitution. Satan's Secret Daughters concludes with an examination of Sandy Florian's The Tree of No, a culmination of and reply to the tradition of the demonized daemonic muse.
