Smoke and Steel: Selected Poems by Sandburg (translated Collection of Orpheus Poems)

M

53K0

Carl Sandburg is not only a journalist and biographer who represents the strength and genius of the United States, but also a poet laureate who embodies the American spirit and writes in the American colloquial language. "He is the United States." He dropped out of school at the age of thirteen and entered the workforce. He saw the world from the noisy streets and alleys of the city and from the bottom of the caravan. He also had an extremely rich experience of wandering and fighting. Because his poems were "people's poems", they were deeply loved by the people and he was called the "people's poet". This book is a collection of Sandburg's poems. It selects the main representative works from his iconic poetry collections - "Chicago Poems", "The Cornhuskers" (Pulitzer Prize-winning work), "Smoke and Steel", "Slates of the Sunburned West", "Good Morning America", "The People, Yes", and "Collected Poems" (Pulitzer Prize-winning work). It contains all high-quality works from his early, prime and late years, and comprehensively presents the evolution of his poetic ideas, techniques and style. In his poems, there are the prayers of steel - smoke-belching chimneys, quenching sprockets, low-level workers in blue; there is the vast imagination - the dreams of humans and machines; there is silence - the skyscrapers entering dreamland and the cornfields soaked in the sun; there is the loneliness of distant times - the open space between the urban rubble and other scenes. Borges once commented: "There is a kind of tired sadness in Sandburg, a kind of sadness in the evening on the plains, the sadness of mud and sand, the sadness of useless but accurate memory, the sadness of a man who feels the passage of time between day and night."

War Advertising Agency: Intelligence Manipulation and the War in Bosnia and Herzegovina (translated Documentary)

(japan) Takagi Tetsu

141K0

"War Advertising Agency" reveals the inside story of the treacherous intelligence war in the Bosnian War. It vividly and detailedly describes a private public relations company as the driving force behind the scenes, using various public relations strategies, means and techniques to concoct news reports that are beneficial to the "clients", manipulate the trend of international public opinion, and ultimately determine the outcome of a war. In the early 1990s, the Yugoslav Federation disintegrated, and the former republics became independent one after another. On October 15, 1991, Bosnia and Herzegovina declared itself a sovereign state, which led to the intensification of ethnic conflicts between Bosnia and Serbia and the outbreak of the Bosnia-Herzegovina War. Facing a powerful opponent, the new small country Bosnia and Herzegovina is at an absolute disadvantage on the battlefield. Foreign Minister Haris Silajdzic was ordered to go to the United States alone to seek support from the international community. However, neither the United Nations nor the US government paid any attention to it. The turning point came after Silajdzic contacted Jim Haver of the public relations firm Ruder Finn. This public relations expert not only guided Silajdzic to vigorously create an image that won the attention and sympathy of the Western world, but also used true and false intelligence to successfully induce international public opinion to turn towards Bosnia and Herzegovina, causing Serbia's international image to completely collapse and fall into a completely isolated situation. In a sense, the outcome of the Bosnian war has nothing to do with justice, morality and human rights. What plays a decisive role is the possession of intelligence, manipulation of public opinion and image public relations.

The Killer Sitting Across Me is a book about the mindset of a violent criminal. Studying the minds of violent criminals has been the cornerstone of Douglas's twenty-five years as an FBI agent, psychological profiler, and criminal investigation analyst, and what he has done since retiring from the FBI. Conversation is the source of everything, the beginning of psychological portraits, and the starting point for everything that follows. All the knowledge gained by psychological profilers, all the conclusions drawn, the Crime Classification Manual created, the murderers assisted in the capture and prosecution, it all started by sitting across from the killer and asking about their life. The purpose of the inquiry is to understand what drove them to take the life of another person or many people. The four killers mentioned in the book are all different, each with their own unique modus operandi, motivations and psychological makeup. Some of their victims were just one, while others were as many as nearly a hundred. The contrast between them is intriguing and compelling. Through a series of these interviews, Douglas and his colleagues developed a rigorous analysis that connected the crime to what the offender was actually thinking at the time of the crime, answering the age-old question: "What kind of person could do this?"

Birth Notes: a Collection of True Stories from Obstetricians (medical Humanities Series)

(u. S.) Chavey Eve Karkovsky

148K0

What exactly does childbirth mean to a woman's body? What will it cost society as a whole if we don't talk honestly about fertility? According to Chave Eve Karkovsky, a senior expert on pregnancy and obstetrics at the top medical schools in the United States, movies, television dramas and the media portray childbirth as too simple and happy. Almost no one really knows what will happen during, before and after pregnancy. No one knows that in addition to joy, pregnancy may also expose women to embarrassment, fear, anger, and even life danger. Karkovsky believes that most women and their families are completely unprepared for childbirth. How can the pain of morning sickness be ignored? Why does pregnancy test become a painful right to know? To what extent can it be a personal decision to choose between a vaginal delivery or a cesarean section, and whether or not to have a fallopian tube ligation? How has intrauterine fetal death become the deepest anxiety in modern obstetric care, and how can it be avoided? Brave, rigorous, and gentle, Karkovsky unearths years of frontline experience to tell personal pregnancy stories, lifting the heavy curtains of obstetrics and delivery rooms, as well as the fog that shrouds the female body and birth culture. She talks about both the joy of life and the shadow of death, the operation of medical treatment, and the social concepts and cultural background behind childbirth. Karkovsky upholds a professional spirit and cares about patients and women. In her experience, she says, the most common phrase she hears is "I wish someone had told me." In this book, she lays out everything she thinks women should know and society should understand. Because, "women's health is human health."

"Hispanic American Literature: Modern and Modern Times" shows the difficult journey of literature in nearly twenty Spanish-speaking independent countries from faltering and confusing to prosperous and even "exploding". After the independence revolution, the new country, which was full of waste and waiting to be revitalized, did not smoothly enter the development track. The struggle between civilization and barbarism, democracy and oligarchy never stopped. Then, the rediscovery of Indian literature, especially Indian myths and legends, catalyzed a new texture of Spanish American literature and activated the ancient genes of Spanish American writers. Today, the dust of the "literary explosion" has settled, but the Spanish-American literary scene is still active, and its international influence cannot be underestimated.

Carol Smith's son, Christopher Jr., Died suddenly when he was seven years old. This left Smith, a mother, devastated.

As a reporter, she came to the home of Seth, a child suffering from a rare incurable disease. Seth appeared in front of Smith with wrinkles on his face, exposed blood vessels, and cloudy eyes.

In addition to Seth, many people she has reported on - John, who was burned beyond recognition but still lives an active life, General Sally, who was once an all-powerful man but now has to fight the disease, Gerry, a nurse who works in hospice care but unfortunately suffered from breast cancer, etc., Have become her guiding light through the river of sadness. Curiosity about other people and their experiences in life allowed Smith to draw hope from other people's experiences and shared stories in a way she never expected, to bravely accept the gift of grief and heal her own broken heart.

At the end of 1949, after the peaceful liberation of Xinjiang, the policymakers of the Republic ordered the 200,000 officers and soldiers stationed in Xinjiang to forge swords into plowshares, reclaim wasteland and farmland, and take root in Xinjiang, so as to change the situation in which the cultivation of land has been limited to one generation since the Han Dynasty. To achieve the strategic goal of long-term peace and stability. But "you can't settle down without a wife, and you can't put down roots without children." If the marriage problems of officers and soldiers are not resolved, it will affect the smooth realization of this strategic goal. Therefore, policymakers decided to recruit female soldiers to solve this problem. They first recruited 8,000 Hunan women. Most of these female soldiers are educated young people, including top university students, daughters of Kuomintang generals, and daughters of wealthy businessmen. With youthful dreams in mind, everyone marched for several months to reach the distant frontier. From then on, they began to interpret stories of joys and sorrows one after another in this vast Gobi desert, as well as their ideals and pursuits, glory and dreams. They gave birth to future generations and also gave birth to the spirit of love, tolerance, righteousness and perseverance. They are known as the "first generation mothers in the wasteland of Xinjiang". This reportage is written in the form of "oral narrative". The fate of the Hunan women reported in it is actually the epitome of the fate of eight thousand Hunan women. It is a collective memoir of the female soldiers who entered Xinjiang, a document narrated by them, and a historical testimony. It is the first comprehensive revelation of historical facts that have been dusted away, and an effort to restore the obliterated public memory. To write this book, the author spent five years, revised the manuscript three times, and visited hundreds of Hunan women in Hunan, Beijing, Sichuan and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. After some chapters were published and serialized in newspapers and periodicals, they received a strong response and won the China Reportage Award and the Kunlun Literary Award.

In Maugham's words, "Knowing what kind of person the author is can help you better understand the author's works." Maugham not only told the personalities, hobbies and life experiences of the ten writers, but also introduced ten great novels. Once opened, you will enter a rich and wonderful world of literature.

His academic insights are significantly different from the original scholar's views and teaching reference book teachings. It is a new breakthrough in the old academic results and teaching guidance, and is a new result of the study of Lu Xun's works such as "Kong Yiji".

He evaluates Kong Yiji's conduct as better than others. From the perspective of artistic achievements, the creation of "Kong Yiji" is Lu Xun's unique contribution to modern Chinese literature.
