Download or read book A Companion to Hemingway's Death in the Afternoon written by Miriam B. Mandel and published by Camden House. This book was released on 2009 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New, carefully focused essays providing a thorough examination of Hemingway's groundbreaking non-fictional work. Published in 1932, Death in the Afternoon reveals its author at the height of his intellectual and stylistic powers. By that time, Hemingway had already won critical and popular acclaim for his short stories and novels of the late twenties. A mature and self-confident artist, he now risked his career by switching from fiction to nonfiction, from American characters to Spanish bullfighters, from exotic and romantic settings to the tough world of theSpanish bullring, a world that might seem frightening and even repellant to those who do not understand it. Hemingway's nonfiction has been denied the attention that his novels and short stories have enjoyed, a state of affairs this Companion seeks to remedy, breaking new ground by applying theoretical and critical approaches to a work of nonfiction. It does so in original essays that offer a thorough, balanced examination of a complex, boundary-breaking, and hitherto neglected text. The volume is broken into sections dealing with: the composition, reception, and sources of Death in the Afternoon; cultural translation, cultural criticism, semiotics, and paratextual matters; and the issues of art, authorship, audience, and the literary legacy of Death in the Afternoon. The contributors to the volume, four men and seven women, lay to rest the stereotype of Hemingway as a macho writer whom women do not read; and their nationalities (British, Spanish, American, and Israeli) indicate that Death in the Afternoon, even as it focuses on a particular national art, discusses matters of universal concern. Contributors: Miriam B. Mandel, Robert W. Trogdon, Lisa Tyler, Linda Wagner-Martin, Peter Messent, Beatriz Penas Ibáñez, Anthony Brand, Nancy Bredendick, Hilary Justice, Amy Vondrak, and Keneth Kinnamon. MiriamB. Mandel teaches in the English Department of Tel Aviv University.

Book excerpt: It's been four years since the war against the Veimurians has ended. Charlo, Kit and Zok'ai Live peacefully on one of Rosea's many beaches. But once Charlo and Kit are to house the Late Akmar's niece, things get weird. General Axis and the rest of the Zoran fleet have detected some sort of life signal coming out of the black hole of Oanus' recently deceased star. Somehow, someone or something has escaped. This life form disappears for some time, but reappears just outside Rosea's system. It remains still at first, but then expresses its desire to destroy everything in its path, including Charlo and everyone she loves, to have revenge on her for what she's done. Charlo and Kit come to find it is an old enemy, reincarnated in an even more ruthless form than before. To save the galaxy and to protect those most dear to her, Charlo has to discover and harness her primitive, hidden powers in order to defeat this ruthless, ugly, terrifying foe.
