Five Shades of Shadow (River Teeth Literary Nonfiction Prize Series) Tracy Daugherty Book DescriptionWinner of the 2002 River Teeth Literary Nonfiction Prize When work took Tracy Daugherty from his family?s roots in Oklahoma to the unfamiliar landscape of Oregon, his move mirrored the western migrations of so many earlier Oklahomans devastated and displaced during the Dust Bowl years. Deeply unsettled by the change in his surroundings and shaken by the recent Oklahoma City bombing, Daugherty took the opportunity provided by his own journey to explore the shattering and rebuilding of community in the America of today and yesterday. Speaking with survivors of the Murrah building bombing, revisiting his roots, and retracing the paths of exile and migration in the American West, Daugherty creates a diverse and heartfelt portraitof America in an uncertain time?its people, its politics, its music, and its poetry?a sobering but ultimately hopeful view of the national community.

The Service of Ladies: An Autobiography (First Person Singular) (First Person Singular)

Ulrich von Liechtenstein


The Service of Ladies: An Autobiography (First Person Singular) (First Person Singular) Ulrich von Liechtenstein Book DescriptionUlrich von Liechtenstein's extraordinary account of his adventures as a knight-errant is one of the most vivid images of chivalric life to have come down to us. His knightly autobiography was written in the mid-thirteenth century, and gives an account of the 'journey of Venus' which he undertook in 1226 in honour of his lady, in which he claimed to have broken 307 spears in jousts against all comers in the space of a month. Some of it is obviously quietly exaggerated, written for his friends' entertainment many years later, and he is not above a sly dig at the conventions of courtly love, but he completely accepts its basic ideas. It is full of lively episodes and good stories, as well as verses in honour of his lady; if the tale has beenpolished up for effect, it is nonetheless a thoroughly entertaining account of how a knight saw his ideal career in the jousting field. If the name is unexpectedly familiar to modern readers, it is because it was borrowed by the hero... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book DescriptionUlrich von Liechtenstein's extraordinary account of his adventures as a knight-errant is one of the most vivid images of chivalric life to have come down to us.
