 Free Download Writings 1932-1946: Portraits and Repetition By Gertrude Stein 1998 | 27 Pages | ISBN: 1883011418 | PDF | 4 MB ThisLibrary of Americavolume, along with its companion, presents a full-scale gathering of the achievement of Gertrude Stein, the most radical innovator in 20th-century literature. With her fresh, irreverent approach to syntax and meaning itself, she proposed nothing less than a reinvention of language from the ground up. From her home in Paris she conducted the most famous salon of modern times, tirelessly promoting modernism in all the arts and holding court for an audience that included the foremost creative figures of her day.This second volume includes works written between 1932 and her death in 1946, years in which she gained a wider readership and made a triumphant return to the United States as a lecturer, but chose ultimately to remain in France during World War II. It opens with the poetic sequenceStanzas in Meditation(complete text published posthumously in 1946), perhaps Stein's most austere and rigorous experiment in linguistic abstraction. InLectures in America(1935) andThe Geographical History of America(1936), she made the most of her newfound status as a public figure, exploring with brilliance and humor the philosophical implications of her writings, the difference between English and American literature, the importance of space in American culture, and much else.Picasso(1938) is a book-length study of the painter who was one of her closest associates, and whose work was a lifelong inspiration for her.Stein's playfulness is given full scope in the children's bookThe World is Round(1939) and inIda(1941), an enchanting exercise in pure verbal invention. The playsDoctor Faustus Lights the Lights(written 1938, published 1949) andThe Mother of Us All(1947), inspired by the life of women's rights activist Susan B. Anthony, give new twists to legendary and historical figures, while "Three Sisters Who Are Not Sisters" (1946) pays tribute to the melodramas that delighted Stein in her childhood. In her last major work,Brewsie and Willie(1946), a striking stylistic departure, she pays homage to the American soldiers she came to know after the liberation of France with a remarkable evocation of their speech and aspirations.This copy only contains the chapter on "Portraits and Repetition" (Pages 287-312) ![1932 FDR, Hoover, and the Dawn of a New America [Audiobook]](https://i122.fastpic.org/big/2024/0103/7c/82b084ff53ef68c7975f4d5d53361b7c.jpeg) Free Download 1932: FDR, Hoover, and the Dawn of a New America (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0CL5FSGB2 | 2023 | 10 hours and 58 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 316 MB Author: Scott Martelle Narrator: David Stifel At the start of 1932, the nation's worst economic crisis has left one-in-four workers without a job, countless families facing eviction, banks shutting down as desperate depositors withdraw their savings, and growing social and political unrest. Amid this turmoil, a political decision looms that will determine the course of the nation. It's a choice between two men with very different visions of America: Incumbent Republican Herbert Hoover and New York's Democratic Governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Veteran journalist Scott Martelle provides a gripping narrative retelling of that vitally significant year as social and political systems struggled under the weight of the devastating Dust Bowl, economic woes, rising political protests, and growing demand for the repeal of Prohibition. That November, voters overwhelmingly rejected decades of Republican rule and backed Roosevelt and his promise to redefine the role of the federal government while putting the needs of the people ahead of the wishes of the wealthy. Deftly told, this illuminating work spotlights parallel events from that pivotal year and brings to life figures who made headlines in their time but have been largely forgotten today. Ultimately, it is the story of a nation that, with the help of a leader determined to unite and inspire, took giant steps toward a new America.

America would elect a Congress and a president - ebullient aristocrat Franklin Roosevelt or tarnished "Wonder Boy" Herbert Hoover. Decadent, divided Weimar Germany faced two rounds of bloody Reichstag elections and two presidential contests - doddering reactionary Paul von Hindenburg against rising radical hate-monger Adolf Hitler. The outcome seemed foreordained - unstoppable forces advancing upon crumbled, disoriented societies. A merciless Great Depression brought greater - perhaps hopeful, perhaps deadly - transformation: FDR's New Deal and Hitler's Third Reich.  Free Download Japanese Tanks and Armoured Warfare 1932-1945: A Military and Political History English | 2021 | ISBN: 1781558108 | 201 Pages | EPUB (True) | 2 MB The popular image of the Japanese tanks which faced the markedly superior tanks fielded by the Allies during the Second World War is one of poorly armed and armoured Lilliputian tin cans which failed to make any impression upon the battlefield. In this absorbing new history, David McCormack looks beyond widely held and unchallenged misconceptions to create a new narrative in which Japan's rightful place as a leading innovator in tank design and doctrine is restored. Why did Japan produce tanks in such limited numbers? What contribution did Japanese tanks make to the war effort? Why did it take Japan so long to develop heavier tanks capable of meeting the Allies on more equal terms? Drawing from primary and secondary sources, the author's meticulous research provides the reader with an objective appraisal of both the successes and failures of the Empire of the Sun's tank forces.  Free Download The Making of Japanese Manchuria, 1904-1932 By Yoshihisa Tak Malsusaka; Yoshihisa Tak Malsusaka 2003 | 544 Pages | ISBN: 0674012062 | PDF | 119 MB In this history of Japanese involvement in northeast China, the author argues that Japan's military seizure of Manchuria in September 1931 was founded on three decades of infiltration of the area. This incremental empire-building and its effect on Japan are the focuses of this book.The principal agency in the piecemeal growth of Japanese colonization was the South Manchurian Railway Company, and by the mid-1920s Japan had a deeply entrenched presence in Manchuria and exercised a dominant economic and political influence over the area. Japanese colonial expansion in Manchuria also loomed large in Japanese politics, military policy, economic development, and foreign relations and deeply influenced many aspects of Japan's interwar history.
