Book Synopsis No Place Else by : Eric S. Rabkin

Download or read book No Place Else written by Eric S. Rabkin. This book was released on 1983. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writers have created fictions of social per­fection at least since Plato’s Republic. Sir Thomas More gave this thread of intel­lectual history a name when he called his contribution to it Utopia, Greek for no place. With each subsequent author cog­nizant of his predecessors and subject to altered real-world conditions which sug­gest ever-new causes for hope and alarm, “no place” changed. The fourteen essays presented in this book critically assess man’s fascination with and seeking for “no place.” “In discussing these central fictions, the contributors see ‘no place’ from di­verse perspectives: the sociological, the psychological, the political, the aesthetic. In revealing the roots of these works, the contributors cast back along the whole length of utopian thought. Each essay stands alone; together, the essays make clear what ‘no place’ means today. While it may be true that ‘no place’ has always seemed elsewhere or elsewhen, in fact all utopian fiction whirls contemporary ac­tors through a costume dance no place else but here.”—from the Preface The contributors are Eric S. Rabkin, B. G. Knepper, Thomas J. Remington, Gorman Beauchamp, William Matter, Ken Davis, Kenneth M. Roemer, Wil­liam Steinhoff, Howard Segal, Jack Zipes, Kathleen Woodward, Merritt Abrash, and James W. Bittner.

Book Synopsis Sanctuary by : Peter A. LaPorta

Download or read book Sanctuary written by Peter A. LaPorta. This book was released on 2023-12-26. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inhabitants of New Orleans thought they were safe. They had survived countless storms and were not about to evacuate. In those late days of August, 2005, they thought they could overcome. They were wrong. They put their homes, their property and their lives in the hands of a levee system. They gambled on the Bayou and lost when the levee broke, washing away everything they had. The only surviving aspect of the human condition was their faith. Michael Scott watched his wife die in his arms as he struggled to save his daughter Trinity from the storm. When the Coast Guard rescued them from atop their washed out family home, they were forced to move on without her. Now, the widower is a single parent and must rebuild for the only family he has left. A new home, a new state and a new life await but he must first overcome his devastating loss. His wife was his destiny, his lovebird, his lobster and his forever love. In order to move forward he must put it all behind him. Can he ever find love again or is he destined to be washed away like the love of his life? Faced with challenges at every turn, Michael Scott hides in one Sanctuary after another to avoid the inevitable bridge that he will need to cross in order to find happiness once again. Come along on this heartfelt journey as LaPorta explores the courage, resolve, and closure needed to possess as his characters look to the everlasting rainbow. Sanctuary will evoke human emotions; the depth of which you may never have experienced before. Life supplies us all with an infinite supply of love but you have to be brave enough to open your heart again to experience it.
