| richard hughes author biography: Myths America Lives By Richard T. Hughes, 2018-09-05 Six myths lie at the heart of the American experience. Taken as aspirational, four of those myths remind us of our noblest ideals, challenging us to realize our nation's promise while galvanizing the sense of hope and unity we need to reach our goals. Misused, these myths allow for illusions of innocence that fly in the face of white supremacy, the primal American myth that stands at the heart of all the others. |
| richard hughes author biography: Richard Hughes Richard Poole, 1986 Richard Hughes (1900-76) is probably best known for his remarkable bestseller about childhood, A High Wind in Jamaica (1929), now recognised as a modern classic. In Hazard (1938), his second novel, has been compared to Conrad's Typhoon. In his latter years, he worked on a series of novels, called The Human Predicament, a massive project in which he explored the social, economic, political and moral forces which shaped the period 1918-1945. Although only two of these novels, The Fox in the Attic (1961) and The Wooden Shepherdess (1973), were completed, Hughes's achievement has been widely praised. No other twentieth century novelist has so successfully transposed history into fiction. Richard Poole, who lived near Hughes in north Wales and who came to know and admire him, has written the first biographical and critical study of this major author. The first part of this book reveals more than ever before the extrordinary life of this remarkable man, who was a successful playwright before he left Oxford University, who wrote the first radio play, who undertook amazing adventures in the Balkans and Morocco, and who, for nearly the whole of his life, exhibited a deep attachment to Wales. The second and longer part of the book is a detailed examination of Hughes's work: his plays, poems, short stories and the novels. This is a study enriched by Poole's intimate knowledge of the man and his sources. Hughes emerges as a writer of staggering versatility, fastidious craftmanship and deep humanity. Richard Poole, poet and critic, was born in Bradford and educated at the University College of North Wales, Bangor. He was for many years Tutor in Literature at Coleg Harlech. His publications include volumes of poetry and he is a former editor of Poetry Wales. An authority on the work of Richard Hughes, he has edited the writer's early stories, In the Lap of Atlas (1979) and a selection of his literary writings, Fiction as Truth (1983). |

| richard hughes author biography: Foreign Devil Richard Hughes, 2008 For 30 years Hughes wrote newspaper stories for The Sunday Times and the Economist from and about Southeast Asia. Followed by readers around the globe, his reports were often harbingers of momentous events to come. In addition Hughes teases the reader with was or wasn't he-a spy, a double-agent and, most important, for whom? This is a rollicking read by a seasoned veteran who keeps his cards close and his enemies closer. |
| richard hughes author biography: The Wooden Shepherdess Richard Hughes, 2000-02-28 The Wooden Shepherdess is the sequel to The Fox in the Attic, and the second volume of Richard Hughes's monumental historical fiction, The Human Predicament. It opens with Hughes's hero Augustine in prohibition era America, where he is a bemused onlooker and an increasingly fascinated participant in a country intoxicated with sex, violence, and booze. In brilliant cinematic style, the book then moves to Germany, where the Nazi Party is gradually gaining in power; to the slums, mining towns, parliamentary back rooms, and great houses of a Britain teetering on the verge of class war; and to the wilds of the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. The novel ends with a terrifying account of the Night of the Long Knives, as Hitler ruthlessly secures his hold upon Germany. This new edition of the The Wooden Shepherdess concludes with the twelve chapters that Hughes completed of the planned third volume of The Human Predicament, here published for the first time in America. |
| richard hughes author biography: In Hazard Richard Hughes, 2008-08-12 The Archimedes is a modern merchant steamship in tip-top condition, and in the summer of 1929 it has been picking up goods along the eastern seaboard of the United States before making a run to China. A little overloaded, perhaps—the oddly assorted cargo includes piles of old newspapers and heaps of tobacco—the ship departs for the Panama Canal from Norfolk, Virginia, on a beautiful autumn day. Before long, the weather turns unexpectedly rough—rougher in fact than even the most experienced members of the crew have ever encountered. The Archimedes, it turns out, has been swept up in the vortex of an immense hurricane, and for the next four days it will be battered and mauled by wind and waves as it is driven wildly off course. Caught in an unremitting struggle for survival, both the crew and the ship will be tested as never before. Based on detailed research into an actual event, Richard Hughes’s tale of high suspense on the high seas is an extraordinary story of men under pressure and the unexpected ways they prove their mettle—or crack. Yet the originality, art, and greatness of In Hazard stem from something else: Hughes’s eerie fascination with the hurricane itself, the inhuman force around which this wrenching tale of humanity at its limits revolves. Hughes channels the furies of sea and sky into a piece of writing that is both apocalyptic and analytic. In Hazard is an unforgettable, defining work of modern adventure. |

| richard hughes author biography: A High Wind in Jamaica Richard Hughes, 2025 2025 Reprint of the 1929 Edition. A High Wind in Jamaica by Richard Hughes A masterpiece of 20th-century literature. - Graham Greene Set against the lush, untamed beauty of 19th-century Jamaica, A High Wind in Jamaica is a chillingly unforgettable exploration of innocence, morality, and human nature. The tranquil lives of the Bas-Thornton children are shattered when a hurricane devastates their family estate. Sent back to England for safety, the children's voyage takes a dangerous turn when their ship is hijacked by pirates. What begins as an adventure quickly transforms into a harrowing study of survival and the unexpected resilience-and cruelty-of childhood. As the children adapt to their new circumstances, the line between victim and perpetrator begins to blur, culminating in an act of violence that questions the very nature of guilt and innocence. Praised for its stark psychological insight and dark humor, Richard Hughes' A High Wind in Jamaica remains a landmark novel that defies categorization, blending elements of adventure, tragedy, and existential reflection. A novel of haunting power and complexity... Hughes' prose is as wild and unpredictable as the children at its heart. - The New York Times A piercing dissection of human nature, told with breathtaking clarity and wit. - The Guardian Celebrated by literary icons such as Graham Greene and Rebecca West, A High Wind in Jamaica is a timeless work that will challenge and captivate readers long after the final page. |
| richard hughes author biography: Paper Electronic Literature Richard Hughes Gibson, 2021-10-29 The field of electronic literature has a familiar catchphrase, You can't do it on paper. But the field has in fact never gone paperless. Reaching back to early experiments with digital writing in the mainframe era and then moving through the personal computer and Internet revolutions, this book traces the changing forms of paper on which e-lit artists have drawn, including continuous paper, documentation, disk sleeves, packaging, and even artists' books. Paper Electronic Literature attests that digital literature's old media elements have much to teach us about the cultural and physical conditions in which we compute; the creativity that new media artists have shown in their dealings with old media; and the distinctively electronic issues that confront digital artists. Moving between avant-garde works and popular ones, fiction writing and poetry generation, Richard Hughes Gibson reveals the diverse ways in which paper has served as a component within electronic literature, particularly in facilitating interactive experiences for users. This important study develops a new critical paradigm for appreciating the multifaceted material innovation that has long marked digital literature. |

The earlier Sangor Shop reinvented itself as the American Comics Group and by 1967 had published over one thousand issues. ACG was a microcosm of the larger industry, publishing magazines in every major comic book genre. Best known titles include Herbie and Forbidden Worlds. It was ACG's Adventures into the Unknown that sparked a new genre—horror—which led to the Comics Code Authority, and industry-wide self censorship. |

| richard hughes author biography: The World's Parliament of Religions Richard Hughes Seager, 2009 Conceived as a magnificent display of the major religions of the world, the 1893 Parliament sought to unite all religion against irreligion. A singular moment in the creation of a more pluralistic religious culture in America, it introduced many Americans to Eastern religions and meditative practices such as yoga. Some in the Christian community saw the gathering as a sign of the approaching fulfillment of the missionary's hope to evangelize the world, while others saw a divided Christendom under threat from the religions of the East. Richard Hughes Seager explores this fascinating event in all its complexities and, in a new preface, summarizes recent research and reflects on religious pluralism in an age of religious extremism. |

| richard hughes author biography: Becoming a Strategic Leader Richard L. Hughes, Katherine M. Beatty, 2005-02-25 Today’s organizations face difficult challenges in order to remain competitive—the quickening pace of change, increasing uncertainty, growing ambiguity, and complexity. To meet these challenges, organizations must broaden the scope of leadership responsibility for strategic leadership and engage more people in the process of leadership. In Becoming a Strategic Leader Rich Hughes and Kate Beatty from the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) offer executives and managers a handbook for implementing a strategic leadership process that reaches leaders at all levels of organizations. Based on CCL’s successful Developing the Strategic Leader Program, this book outlines the framework of strategic leadership and contains practical suggestions on how to develop the individual, team, and organizational skills needed for institutions to become more adaptable, flexible, and resilient.

| richard hughes author biography: Selected Letters of Langston Hughes Langston Hughes, 2015-02-10 This is the first comprehensive selection from the correspondence of the iconic and beloved Langston Hughes. It offers a life in letters that showcases his many struggles as well as his memorable achievements. Arranged by decade and linked by expert commentary, the volume guides us through Hughes’s journey in all its aspects: personal, political, practical, and—above all—literary. His letters range from those written to family members, notably his father (who opposed Langston’s literary ambitions), and to friends, fellow artists, critics, and readers who sought him out by mail. These figures include personalities such as Carl Van Vechten, Blanche Knopf, Zora Neale Hurston, Arna Bontemps, Vachel Lindsay, Ezra Pound, Richard Wright, Kurt Weill, Carl Sandburg, Gwendolyn Brooks, James Baldwin, Martin Luther King, Jr., Alice Walker, Amiri Baraka, and Muhammad Ali. The letters tell the story of a determined poet precociously finding his mature voice; struggling to realize his literary goals in an environment generally hostile to blacks; reaching out bravely to the young and challenging them to aspire beyond the bonds of segregation; using his artistic prestige to serve the disenfranchised and the cause of social justice; irrepressibly laughing at the world despite its quirks and humiliations. Venturing bravely on what he called the “big sea” of life, Hughes made his way forward always aware that his only hope of self-fulfillment and a sense of personal integrity lay in diligently pursuing his literary vocation. Hughes’s voice in these pages, enhanced by photographs and quotations from his poetry, allows us to know him intimately and gives us an unusually rich picture of this generous, visionary, gratifyingly good man who was also a genius of modern American letters. |

| richard hughes author biography: Ted Hughes Jonathan Bate, 2016-09-27 An illuminating and authoritative study of the 20th-century English poet and children’s writer’s life and work. Ted Hughes, Poet Laureate, was one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. He was one of Britain’s most important poets. With an equal gift for poetry and prose, he was also a prolific children’s writer and has been hailed as the greatest English letter-writer since John Keats. His magnetic personality and insatiable appetite for friendship, love, and life also attracted more scandal than any poet since Lord Byron. His lifelong quest to come to terms with the suicide of his first wife, Sylvia Plath, is the saddest and most infamous moment in the public history of modern poetry. Hughes left behind a more complete archive of notes and journals than any other major poet, including thousands of pages of drafts, unpublished poems, and memorandum books that make up an almost complete record of Hughes’s inner life, which he preserved for posterity. Renowned scholar Jonathan Bate has spent five years in the Hughes archives, unearthing a wealth of new material. His book offers, for the first time, the full story of Hughes’s life as it was lived, remembered, and reshaped in his art. |

| richard hughes author biography: Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog Dylan Thomas, 2022-08-16 In 'Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog,' Dylan Thomas captures the poignant and whimsical moments of youth through a semi-autobiographical collection of stories. The book, steeped in the lyrical and evocative prose characteristic of Thomas's work, carefully marries the raw vitality of adolescence with the reflective nostalgia of adulthood. Across these vignettes, Thomas constructs a nuanced portrait of his early years in Wales, inviting readers into a world where the ordinary is rendered extraordinary by the author's distinct literary style. The narrative's vivid imagery and emotional resonance make it an enduring contribution to early 20th-century literature, echoing the broader modernist endeavor to probe the depths of individual experience and consciousness. Dylan Thomas, widely celebrated for his rich verbal music and powerfully emotive poetry, pours the same creative energy into this prose work. 'Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog' offers insights into the author's formative years, which doubtlessly nurtured his profound creativity and linguistic prowess. This personal exploration sheds light on the environment and experiences that shaped Thomas's unique voice—one that would come to be known for its ability to transcend the mundanity of reality through the sheer force of language. The compilation is a must-read for those who cherish literary explorations of self and the complexities of growing up. Thomas's acutely observant storytelling will resonate with readers and academics alike, who search for authenticity and poignancy in their literary pursuits. It serves both as a valuable artifact of Welsh cultural history and as a testament to the universal journey of maturation. This edition by DigiCat Publishing, which seeks to honor and perpetuate the legacy of humanity's written treasures, is an invitation to immerse oneself in the world of a literary giant at the cusp of his artistic awakening. |

Billie Hughes, 2017-01-01 From the dawn of time, ruby and sapphire have both attracted and fascinated humans in ways that few other items could.While objects of desire are found throughout the natural world, physical beauty is too often ephemeral.
