| the day after tomorrow torrent: The Life Manager and Other Stories Mirela Roznoveanu, 2004 In Mirela Roznoveanu's new book of fiction, human love is everywhere but strangely hard to find. Love animates a world where the tangled web of sexuality, commitment, language, place, and history enthralls us with its tantalizing detours, its cruel pretenders, and its unexpected pleasures. These tumultuous pages introduce us to people we can instantly recognize and never forget. From adventures that vividly signal a lifetime's meaning each returns with something new--something utterly different from that which was sought. Here in her first major work in English, we find the pulsing, streaming vision of time, place, history and character that distinguishes Roznoveanu's work in her native Romanian. Roznoveanu restores a visionary spirit lost to English for two or more generations. These stories come to us in the circuitous wake of the great early modernists, offering prodigious healing power for the grave psychic wounds that have afflicted the human condition since the crucial turning point of 1945. The Life Manager and Other Stories scintillates with cascades of luminous images and narrative reversals that seize our attention and don't let go. This is a book to return to again and again for its endlessly intriguing glimpses of the elusive peace and joy our souls thirst for. |

| the day after tomorrow torrent: Silver Andrew Motion, 2012-05-29 July, 1802. In the marshy eastern reaches of the Thames, a young boy spends his days roaming the mist-shrouded estuaries and listening to his father's tales of adventures: on the high seas, of curses, murder and revenge, black spots and buried treasure--and of a man with a wooden leg. It's almost forty years after the events of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island: Jim Hawkins now runs an inn called the Hispaniola on the English coast with his son, Jim, and Long John Silver has returned to England to live in obscurity with his daughter, Natty. Their lives are quiet and unremarkable; their adventures have seemingly ended. But for Jim and Natty, the adventure is just beginning. One night, Natty approaches young Jim with a proposition: return to Treasure Island and find the rest of the treasure that their fathers left behind so many years before. Jim joins Natty aboard a ship--the Nightingale--and the new friends set out to sail in their fathers' footsteps. But their journey is fraught with murderous pirates, long-held grudges, and greed and deception lurking in every corner. When they arrive on Treasure Island, they find terrible scenes awaiting them and difficulties which require all their wit as well as their courage. Nor does the adventure end there, since they have to sail homeward again... Andrew Motion has written a truly accomplished work of literature--rollicking, heartfelt, and utterly brilliant--that would make Robert Louis Stevenson proud. |

The themes we associate with Nabokov — the romance of emigres, sexual frustration, the nostalgia of youth — shine again, sorrowfully or blithely, but always adding an illuminating dimension to what went before or what comes after. -Kirkus Reviews Convinced that his life is about to be wasted and hoping to impress his love, Martin embarks on a perilous, daredevil project--an illegal attempt to re-enter the Soviet Union, from which he and his mother had fled in 1919.

| the day after tomorrow torrent: Catastrophe and Catharsis Katharina Gerstenberger, Tanja Nusser, 2015 Destroying human habitat and taking human lives, disasters, be they natural, man-made, or a combination, threaten large populations, even entire nations and societies. They also disrupt the existing order and cause discontinuity in our sense of self and our perceptions of the world. To restore order, not only must human beings be rescued and affected areas rebuilt, but the reality of the catastrophe must also be transformed into narrative. The essays in this collection examine representations of disaster in literature, film, and mass media in German and international contexts, exploring the nexus between disruption and recovery through narrative from the eighteenth century to the present. Topics include the Lisbon earthquake, the Paris Commune, the Hamburg and Dresden fire-bombings in the Second World War, nuclear disasters in Alexander Kluge's films, the filmic aesthetics of catastrophe, Yoko Tawada's lectures on the Fukushima disaster and Christa Wolf's novel St rfall in light of that same disaster, Joseph Haslinger and the tsunami of 2004, traditions regarding avalanche disaster in the Tyrol, and the problems and implications of defining disaster. Contributors: Carol Anne Costabile-Heming, Yasemin Dayioglu-Y cel, Janine Hartman, Jan Hinrichsen, Claudia Jerzak, Lars Koch, Franz Mauelshagen, Tanja Nusser, Torsten Pflugmacher, Christoph Weber.

| the day after tomorrow torrent: Lord Byron Jonathan Sachs, Andrew Stauffer, 2024-02-16 This volume in the 21st Century Oxford Authors series offers readers a generous selection of the poetry upon which Byron's fame depended and his reputation now rests. It presents the poems in the chronological order in which they were published, working in almost every case from their first appearances in print. The Selected Writings include the entirety of Byron's two best-known works, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage and Don Juan, but the decision to work book-by-book means that they are presented not as unified works but as evolving serial publications, interspersed with other works published between installments or sequels. Alongside these two major works, wider representation is given to Byron's lyric poetry than has been typical in modern editions. Furthermore, in keeping with the 21st Century Oxford Authors series, the works are reproduced in something close to their original printed forms. Prioritizing the event of publication over that of composition, this volume offers a version of Byron close to how he would have been known to his original public. With extensive annotations, it emphasizes the social processes by which literary works come to exist in the world, particularly their publication and reception histories. The result is a fresh view of Byron's literary achievement and an impetus to further reading in the works of this extraordinary creative figure. |

| the day after tomorrow torrent: The Unlit Lamp Radclyffe Hall, 2021-05-11 The Unlit Lamp (1924) is a novel by Radclyffe Hall. After publishing several collections of poems, Hall turned to fiction in 1924 with two successful novels. The Unlit Lamp is the story of a young woman with an unhappy home life who falls in love with an older teacher and dreams of moving to London to become a doctor. Despite her independent spirit, Joan struggles to escape the clutches of her controlling mother. “Mrs. Ogden put her hand up to her head wearily, glancing at Joan as she did so. Joan was so quick to respond to the appeal of illness. Mrs. Ogden would not have admitted to herself how much she longed for this quick response and sympathy. [...] There were times, growing more frequent of late, when she longed, yes, longed to break down utterly, to become bedridden, to be waited upon hand and foot, to have arresting symptoms of her own, any number of them.” Unhappily married to the Colonel, a cold and distant man, Mrs. Ogden depends on her daughters for emotional support. As Joan and Milly draw closer the age of independence, however, their mother begins thinking up ways to keep them at home, stifling their personal interests and desires. When Elizabeth Rodney, a governess, arrives to teach the sisters, Joan develops not only an attraction to the older woman, but a desire to move with her to London, where she dreams of becoming a doctor. Tragic and psychologically piercing, The Unlit Lamp is a story of friendship, family, and desire that continues to be recognized as a groundbreaking work of lesbian literature. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Radclyffe Hall’s The Unlit Lamp is a classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers. |

| the day after tomorrow torrent: Metropolis Thea von Harbou, 2023-11-29T17:17:47Z Set in a futuristic dystopian city, Metropolis revolves around the stark divide between the affluent ruling class, who reside in luxurious skyscrapers above ground, and the oppressed working class laboring in dismal conditions below. The city is run by the powerful Joh Fredersen, who oversees the vast industrial complex that sustains the city. The plot takes a dramatic turn when Joh Fredersen’s son, Freder, discovers the harsh reality of the workers’ plight and becomes determined to bridge the gap between the two classes. As Freder delves deeper into the city’s secrets, he encounters Maria, a compassionate woman advocating for workers’ rights. The plot thickens as the city faces the impending threat of rebellion from the oppressed laborers. Joh Fredersen, driven by his desire to maintain control, enlists the help of the brilliant scientist Rotwang to develop a humanoid robot with Maria’s likeness. The robot is intended to manipulate and control the workers, escalating tensions and leading to a dramatic climax that explores themes of class struggle, technology, and the consequences of unchecked industrialization. Metropolis was first serialized in the German magazine Das illustrierte Blatt in 1926 and published as a book by August Scherl Verlag that same year. Von Harbau also wrote the screenplay for the groundbreaking film of the same name directed by her husband, Fritz Lang. Both the novel and the film were developed simultaneously, with the screenplay closely following the narrative of the novel.

Siburt, 2024-12-02 When Ted Harper, one of the wealthiest men in Bedford County, Tennessee, is shot dead in broad daylight, on a Saturday afternoon, in the main street of the small railroad town of Buckland Station, none of the townspeople, including the business associates he was allegedly meeting, come forward and admit to hearing or seeing anything. At first, it appears that the lack of cooperation or evidence will render the crime unsolvable. Then, the dead man’s politically connected family petitions the governor’s office for assistance. A request is made to the Federal District Judge, and he responds by ordering US Marshal Ward Wilkinson and his Deputy, Tom Seibert, to Buckland Station to discover who killed the man and why. The marshals soon learn that Harper had a deserved reputation as a violence-prone, unethical predator and that those who might have wanted him dead number in the dozens. Was this a private quarrel? An organized conspiracy? Vigilantism? Further complicating the marshals’ task is finding a wanted bank robber and murderer residing in the area. The answers the lawmen seek reside in the dark corners of the community, behind barriers of long-delayed justice, hatred, and a defiant attitude of justified revenge, and the exposure of the well-hidden truth might be fatal to anyone disturbing it. Ward and Tom will have to overcome these barriers as they work their way through a slew of complex characters and scenarios to find the killer(s) and bring them to justice. |

| the day after tomorrow torrent: The Privateer Gordon Daviot, Josephine Tey, 2022-08-10 In the sweeping historical epic 'The Privateer,' Gordon Daviot (pseudonym of famous Josephine Tey) pens the life and triumphs of Henry Morgan, a Welsh pirate turned hero, within the rich tapestry of 17th-century Caribbean conflicts. The narrative, characterized by its sharp detail and engagement with themes of freedom, ambition, and the tides of colonial power struggles, follows Morgan from his ignominious beginnings as an enslaved man in Barbados to his remarkable rise as the Lieutenant-Governor of Jamaica. Through the lens of Morgan's capture of a Spanish ship, Tey demonstrates a deep understanding of the era's social and political intricacies, making the novel an exemplary piece of historical fiction with a literary style that brings this perilous period of piracy and war vividly to life. The author, known for rigorously researched historical narratives, seems to have drawn from a deep well of historical knowledge and fascination with the Caribbean colonial power dynamics. The portrayal of Henry Morgan is possibly reflective of a keen interest in the paradoxes of piracy—often deemed a lawless enterprise, yet in Morgan's case, one that led to legal authority and respectability. Daviot's background, potentially steeped in history and literature, positions him to construct a protagonist who is as complex as he is charismatic, bridging the gulf between outlaw and official with nuanced storytelling. Josephine Tey wrote this novel under her pseudonym, Gordon Daviot. This was last book, a romantic novel based on the life of the privateer Henry Morgan. |
