Custer's trials / T. J. STILES / VINTAGE BOOKS (2015)

Titre : Custer's trials : a life on the frontier of a new America Type de document : Livre Auteurs : T. J. STILES, Auteur Editeur : VINTAGE BOOKS Année de publication : 2015 Importance : xxi, 582 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-307-47594-7 Prix : 22 EUR Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Management ROMAN ; ANGLAIS Résumé : In this magisterial biography, T. J. Stiles paints a portrait of Custer both deeply personal and sweeping in scope, proving how much of Custer’s legacy has been ignored. He demolishes Custer’s historical caricature, revealing a capable yet insecure man, intelligent yet bigoted, passionate yet self-destructive, a romantic individualist at odds with the institution of the military (court-martialed twice in six years) and the new corporate economy, a wartime emancipator who rejected racial equality. Stiles argues that, although Custer was justly noted for his exploits on the western frontier, he also played a central role as both a wide-ranging participant and polarizing public figure in his extraordinary, transformational time—a time of civil war, emancipation, brutality toward Native Americans, and, finally, the Industrial Revolution—even as he became one of its casualties. Intimate, dramatic, and provocative, this biography captures the larger story of the changing nation. It casts surprising new light on one of the best-known figures of American history, a subject of seemingly endless fascination.

Her Fearful Symmetry / Audrey NIFFENEGGER / VINTAGE BOOKS (2010)

Titre : Her Fearful Symmetry Type de document : Livre Auteurs : Audrey NIFFENEGGER Editeur : VINTAGE BOOKS Année de publication : 2010 Importance : 485 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-09-952417-5 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Julia and Valentina Poole are normal American teenagers - normal, at least, for identical 'mirror' twins who have no interest in college or jobs or possibly anything outside their cozy suburban home. But everything changes when they receive notice that an aunt whom they didn't know existed has died and left them her flat in an apartment block overlooking Highgate Cemetery in London. They feel that at last their own lives can begin ... but have no idea that they've been summoned into a tangle of fraying lives, from the obsessive-compulsive crossword setter who lives above them to their aunt's mysterious and elusive lover who lives below them, and even to their aunt herself, who never got over her estrangement from the twins' mother - and who can't even seem to quite leave her flat.... With Highgate Cemetery itself a character and echoes of Henry James and Charles Dickens, HER FEARFUL SYMMETRY is a delicious and deadly twenty-first-century ghost story about Niffenegger's familiar themes of love, loss and identity. It is certain to cement her standing as one of the most singular and remarkable novelists of our time. Permalink : https://cataloguelibrary.neoma-bs.fr/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=345214
