Book Synopsis The National Road by : Tom Zoellner
Download or read book The National Road written by Tom Zoellner. This book was released on 2020-10-13. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of "eloquent essays that examine the relationship between the American landscape and the national character" serves to remind us that despite our differences we all belong to the same land (Publishers Weekly). “How was it possible, I wondered, that all of this American land––in every direction––could be fastened together into a whole?” What does it mean when a nation accustomed to moving begins to settle down, when political discord threatens unity, and when technology disrupts traditional ways of building communities? Is a shared soil enough to reinvigorate a national spirit? From the embaattled newsrooms of small town newspapers to the pornography film sets of the Los Angeles basin, from the check–out lanes of Dollar General to the holy sites of Mormonism, from the nation’s highest peaks to the razed remains of a cherished home, like a latter–day Woody Guthrie, Tom Zoellner takes to the highways and byways of a vast land in search of the soul of its people. By turns nostalgic and probing, incisive and enraged, Zoellner’s reflections reveal a nation divided by faith, politics, and shifting economies, but––more importantly––one united by a shared sense of ownership in the common land.

Book Synopsis The Patriarch by : Christopher Ringle
Download or read book The Patriarch written by Christopher Ringle. This book was released on 2021-03-26. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You died and now a Voice asks you to recall the most important aspects of the life you just lived. What do you mention? Who do you include? Do you leave things out? What do you try to hide? What will be your story? John Casper died, and the Voice asked him to recall the most important aspects of the life he just lived. What did he include? What did he leave out or try to hide? As John recounts the important parts of his 78 years, his life seems ordinary at first. The Voice gently nudges him way from the safety of some of his memories. Away from the inconsequential, toward situations, people, and decisions that actually mattered. John would much rather forget some of these. The result is a story filled with hope, despair, romance, grief, and joy. Born in 1857, the son of German immigrants, John was an Indiana farmer who married a woman he loved deeply. Together, they created family traditions that strengthened their marriage and nurtured each of their children. They maintained close ties with their extended family, the German Reformed Church, and their neighbors on nearby farms. Among their 12 children were two sons, Irvy and Pete, who played especially powerful roles in John's life. Irvy wasn't at all like other boys. He was nurturing and kind, thoughtful and loving. John fretted that Irvy was probably "different" and wondered how to protect this son from the cruelty of the outside world. Pete created chaos and pain for everyone around him. John and his wife struggled to channel Pete toward a happier, less violent path. This is John Casper's remarkable story.
