mrs bridge evan s connell

Evan S. Connell''s Mrs Bridge is an extraordinary tragicomic portrayal of suburban life and one of the classic American novels of the twentieth century.Mrs Bridge, an unremarkable and conservative housewife in Kansas City, has three children and a kindly lawyer husband. She spends her time shopping, going to bridge parties and bringing up her children to be pleasant, clean and have nice manners. And yet she finds modern life increasingly baffling, her children aren''t growing up into the people she expected, and sometimes she has the vague disquieting sensation that all is not well in her life. In a series of comic, telling vignettes, Evan S. Connell illuminates the narrow morality, confusion, futility and even terror at the heart of a life of plenty.The companion novel Mr Bridge, telling the story from the other side of the marriage, is also available in Penguin Modern Classics.''A perfect novel ... Its tone - knowing, droll, plaintive, shuttling rapidly between pain and hilarity - elevates it to its own kind of specialness ... One of those books that can suffuse a room with happiness when someone brings it up'' Meg Wulitzer, The New York Times''Intimate ... affecting ... a very funny book'' Joshua ...

The companion novel to Mrs Bridge, this is a pitch-perfect portrayal of marriage and family life and a poignant dissection of the unexamined life.Walter Bridge, husband to India and father to three, is a successful lawyer in a Kansas suburb. The daily dramas of his life only serve to illuminate his narrow prejudices and complacent outlook, yet he is also troubled by existential doubts, dark undercurrents of desire and a yearning for something forever out of his reach. In Mr Bridge, Evan S. Connell gives us a moving, satirical and poetic portrayal of a man who cannot escape his limitations and of a couple growing old together but unable, ultimately, to connect.The companion novel, Mrs Bridge, telling the story from the other side of the marriage, is published in Penguin Modern Classics.''With a delicate and subtle irony, Mr Connell shows us, first from her, then from his point of view, the little daily dramas of this ordinary family. It is very, very funny, often moving and sad, and written with an uncompromising realism that one rarely comes across. To me the Bridges were a revelation: I cannot recommend them too highly'' Daily Telegraph

“A delicious blend of insight, wit and history, Team America is a punch-packed introduction to four great military minds and the zeitgeist that produced them.” —Wall Street Journal“Robert O’Connell has written a rollicking, insightful story of some particularly American heroes.” —Evan Thomas, author of Ike’s Bluff: President Eisenhower’s Secret Battle to Save the WorldFrom national bestselling author and acclaimed military historian Robert L. O’Connell, a dynamic history of four military leaders whose extraordinary leadership and strategy led the United States to success during World War I and beyond.By the first half of the twentieth century, technology had transformed warfare into a series of intense bloodbaths in which the line between soldiers and civilians was obliterated, resulting in the deaths of one hundred million people. During this period, four men exhibited unparalleled military leadership that led the United States victoriously through two World Wars: Douglas MacArthur, George Patton, George Marshall, and Dwight “Ike” Eisenhower; or, as bestselling author Robert O’Connell calls them, Team America.O’Connell captures these men’s unique charisma as he chronicles the path each forged—from their upbringings to their educational experiences to their storied military careers—experiences that shaped them into majestic leaders who would play major roles in saving the ...

"Did you hear Evan Dando died last night?"Evan Dando spills the true story of his band’s tumultuous history and what it was like to be famous in the pre-internet days in this candid, colourful, and unputdownable memoir.After Kurt Cobain’s passing in 1994, everyone expected Evan Dando to be next. The Lemonheads frontman, songwriter and actor started in the 80s hardcore scene and went on to become a 90s icon with two gold records to his name. Think of Evan Dando, and you think of heroin chic, grunge and celebrity burnout. From sneaking into concerts as a child, to sleeping on floors in the punk rock days, to crashing at Johnny Depp’s place in Hollywood, he was right there in the thick of it. So much so that social media once reported his death.Now, very much alive and sober, Dando is going to tell his own story. Rumours of my Demise will remind readers what was so great about the pre-internet 90s: the innocence, the access, and the anonymity. Reclaiming the purity and exuberance of his early days and encapsulating the spirit of the era, this is a portrait of an artist who lives wholly for his music, and one that ...

How can we understand gender in the contemporary world? What psychological differences now exist between women and men? How are masculinities and femininities made? And how is gender entwined in global politics and debates over trans issues? Raewyn Connell – one of the world's leading scholars in the field – answers these questions and more. Her book provides a sophisticated yet accessible introduction to modern gender studies, covering empirical research from all parts of the world, in addition to theory and politics. As well as introducing the field, Gender provides a powerful contemporary framework for gender analysis with a strong and distinctive global awareness. Highlighting the multidimensional character of gender relations, Connell shows how to link personal life with large-scale organizational structures, and how gender politics changes its form in changing situations. The fourth edition of this influential book brings the statistical picture of gender inequalities up to date, and offers new close-focus case studies of gender research. Like previous editions, it examines gender politics and global power relations, but with added discussion around contemporary issues of intersectionality, populism, gender-based violence, trans struggles and environmental change. It also speaks at the intimate level, about embodied gender and personal relationships. Gender ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The three platoons of B Company each approached the mountain silently, treading carefully through a series of defensive minefields.

Every morning begins the same way, with a visit to her favourite patisserie to buy a loaf ofolive bread, but her latest trip proves to be her last when she suffers an indignity from which she may never recover: an assumption by the shopkeeper that the protagonist in George March’s new book –a pathetic sex worker, more a figure of derision than desire – is based on Mrs. March.One casual remark robs Mrs. March not only of her beloved olive bread but of the belief that she knew everything about her husband – and herself – sending her on an increasingly paranoid journey, onethat starts within the pages of a book but may very well ...

Držitel americké Národní knižní ceny Evan Osnos vytvořil soustředěný, brilantní a trefný záznam úspěšné celoživotní cesty Josepha R. Bidena Jr. do prezidentského úřadu. Současný americký prezident si dokázal udržet padesátiletou politickou kariéru, která ho dovedla až do Bílého domu, jeho život byl však poznamenáni hlubokými osobními ztrátami a zklamáními. Evan Osnos čerpal z téměř desetiletého zpravodajství pro časopis The New Yorker a v knize se mu podařilo zachytit mimořádný význam prezidentských voleb v roce 2020 i vykreslit jednotlivé osobnosti americké politiky. Jeho kniha je založena na dlouhých rozhovorech s Bidenem a na otevřených výpovědích více než stovky dalších aktérů, včetně bývalého prezidenta Baracka Obamy, Amy Klobucharové, Peta Buttigiega a řady aktivistů, poradců, členů Bidenovy rodiny i Bidenových odpůrců. Knižní portrét osvětluje Bidenovu dlouhou a rušnou kariéru v Senátu, osmileté účinkování ve funkci Obamova viceprezidenta i jeho rozhodnutí vyzvat Donalda Trumpa k souboji o prezidentský úřad a volbu senátorky Kamaly Harrisové jako kandidátky na viceprezidentku. Osnos se zamýšlí nad potížemi, se kterými se Biden bude muset potýkat během svého prezidenství, a zvažuje, jak měnící se země a obrovská škála zkušeností změnily jeho postoje k jednotlivým tématům. V tomto precizním portrétu se Biden jeví jako chybující, a přece rozhodný politik zocelený životními ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The new biography of President Joe Biden by National Book Award winner and New Yorker staff writer Evan Osnos - A Financial Times, Guardian and Daily Express Book of the Year 'A thoroughly readable primer' Guardian 'Biden has overcome unimaginable tribulation, multiple presidential primary humiliations, a potentially crippling speech impediment and his own mediocrity. Now he carries the hopes of billions upon his shoulders' Sunday Times President Joseph R. Biden Jr. has been called both the luckiest man and the unluckiest fortunate to have sustained a fifty-year political career that reached the White House, but also marked by deep personal losses that he has suffered. Yet even as Biden s life has been shaped by drama, it has also been powered by a willingness, rare at the top ranks of politics, to confront his shortcomings, errors and reversals of fortune. His trials have forged in him a deep empathy for others in hardship an essential quality as he addresses a nation at its most dire hour in decades. Blending up-close journalism and broader context, Evan Osnos illuminates Biden s life and captures the characters and meaning of an extraordinary presidential election.

As a subject, Waterloo Bridge fascinated writers and artists such as Dickens, Constable, Monet and Derain. This book tells the story of a bridge’s place in the city – its history in use, its inextricable connection with the great river which it crosses, and the character and activities of the two shores which it joins together. While focusing on Waterloo Bridge, the book also explores the evolution of the surrounding districts and the character of the Thames as it flows through Central London: tidal, wide, difficult to navigate and bridge, and intensely busy during its heyday. It sets Waterloo Bridge alongside the other London river bridges, revealing the complex politics and economics of bridge building. Full of fabulous characters and stories, the book takes us from the geology and ancient history to the history of the docks and on to the great bridge built in the 18th and 19th centuries. It reveals the complex politics and economics behind these bridges, who designed them and how they were constructed. The book explores how the surrounding districts evolved, the creation of the Thames embankments, and Waterloo bridge’s notoriety as a site for suicides – a subject that fascinated Dickens, Watts and Millais. ...

"Mrs. Warren's Profession" is a play written by Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw. The play explores themes of social hypocrisy, gender roles, and the morality of prostitution. The main character, Mrs. Kitty Warren, is a successful businesswoman who runs a chain of brothels in various European cities. She is a shrewd and ambitious woman who has built her wealth and status through the sex trade. Despite the controversial nature of her profession, Mrs. Warren is unapologetic about her choices and views her work as a necessary means of survival and financial independence. The play centers around Mrs. Warren's relationship with her daughter, Vivie, who has been raised in the belief that her mother is a respectable woman involved in more legitimate business ventures. However, as Vivie uncovers the truth about her mother's profession, she is confronted with conflicting emotions and moral dilemmas. "Mrs. Warren's Profession" is considered one of Shaw's most controversial plays due to its explicit discussion of prostitution and the moral ambiguity surrounding the characters' actions. It sparked significant debate and censorship efforts during its initial release, but it has since become recognized as a classic work of modern drama for its thought-provoking themes and sharp social commentary.
