souls left behind fan wu

I''m no longer Zhang Delun. I am 58909. We were the Chinese Labour Corps, all 140,000 of us. Sailing eastwards in the final years of the Great War, youth bound to toil behind the trenches of France. Too many of us will never see home again. Anne Zhang''s father is missing, the feast for his 85th birthday is going cold. Pride, desperation or hope? Meaningless amid the horror. Somehow I survived, and with Marguerite\''s help found roots in this foreign land. Never one to share a burden, the years since mother''s passing have only claimed the few who remember a painful past. The battlefields have long since scabbed over with cornflowers. My comrades stare back at me as gravestones. I tend to them, lest they be reduced to forgotten characters of a language that no local understands. No one told Anne of their stories, nor does she have time to listen. When I\''m gone, who will speak for us?

The world-renowned economist offers a ground-breaking new vision for inclusive prosperity Left behind places can be found in prosperous countries—from South Yorkshire, integral to the industrial revolution and now England’s poorest county, to Barranquilla, once Colombia’s portal to the Caribbean and now struggling. More alarmingly, the poorest countries in the world are diverging further from the rest of humanity than they were at the start of this century. Why have these places fallen behind? And what can we do about it? World-renowned development economist Paul Collier has spent his life working in neglected communities. In this book he offers his candid diagnosis of why some regions and countries are failing, and a new vision for how they can catch up. Collier lays the blame for widening inequality on stale economic orthodoxies that prioritize market forces to revive left behind regions, and on the arrogant, hands-off and one-size fits all approach of centralized bureaucracies like the UK Treasury. As a result, Collier argues, the UK has become the most unequal and unfair society in the western world.

Railways have been around for about 200 years and while the majority have flourished and are still in existence today, many no longer remain. Some of these have completely disappeared, especially those associated with the transportation of industrial commodities such as coal. In some instances, passenger railways have not faired much better than their industrial counterparts and the Beeching Report led to the closure of 2,300 railway stations and over 5,000 of track miles in Britain in the 1960s. When railways are closed their infrastructure such as track, station buildings, signal boxes etc. are generally removed and over time the land is repurposed for houses, retail footpaths, cycleways or simply returned to open land. However, this is not always the case and sometimes the removal of the railway infrastructure is not undertaken in a diligent manner resulting in items such as track, buildings or redundant equipment being left behind. In addition, railway artifacts such as locomotives or rolling stock may be deliberately left in situ to mark the history of what has gone before.Steve Liptrot offers a fascinating pictorial history of what railways have left behind in Britain and a selection of European countries.

In 2015, a year after it started, Bushra al-Maqtari decided to document the suffering of civilians in the Yemeni Civil War, which has killed over 350,000 people according to the UN. Inspired by the work of Svetlana Alexievich, she spent two years visiting different parts of the country, putting her life at risk by speaking with her compatriots, and gathered over 400 testimonies, a selection of which appear in What Have You Left Behind? Purposefully alternating between accounts from the victims of the Houthi militia and those of the Saudi-led coalition, al-Maqtari highlights the disillusionment and anguish felt by those trapped in a war outside of their own making. As difficult to read as it is to put down, this unvarnished chronicle of the conflict serves as a vital reminder of the scale of the human tragedy behind the headlines, and offers a searing condemnation of the international community’s complicity in the war’s continuation.

Also known as Journey to the West, Wu Ch''êng-ên''s Monkey is one of the Four Great Classical Novels in Chinese literature, translated by Arthur Waley in Penguin Classics. Monkey depicts the adventures of Prince Tripitaka, a young Buddhist priest on a dangerous pilgrimage to India to retrieve sacred scriptures accompanied by his three unruly disciples: the greedy pig creature Pipsy, the river monster Sandy - and Monkey. Hatched from a stone egg and given the secrets of heaven and earth, the irrepressible trickster Monkey can ride on the clouds, become invisible and transform into other shapes - skills that prove very useful when the four travellers come up against the dragons, bandits, demons and evil wizards that threaten to prevent them in their quest. Wu Ch''êng-ên wrote Monkey in the mid-sixteenth century, adding his own distinctive style to an ancient Chinese legend, and in so doing created a dazzling combination of nonsense with profundity, slapstick comedy with spiritual wisdom. Arthur Waley''s humorous and energetic translation is accompanied by an introduction discussing the story''s background in history and legend, its elements of anti-bureaucratic satire and the allegorical nature of its characters Very little is known about Wu Ch''êng-ên (c.1505-80) although he ...

"Sbírka Orbis pictus se skládá z dosti těžko pospojovatelných citátů z různých moudrých a pečlivě doložených knih, aniž by ale za výběrem citátů stály roky vědecké práce a rešeršování, jak jsme si zpravidla u výpisů citované literatury zvyklí představovat. Právě naopak. Nejde ale jen o čisté gesto nahodilosti, jde o ironicky nastavené zrcadlo naší tendenci zkulturňovat vše, co nám přijde pod ruku, včetně snah podávat uměleckými prostředky zprávy o stavu současného světa, přírody či politiky. Nepřímo se tedy právě k tomu všemu Wudy vyjadřuje. Wudy hledá takový způsob promluvy o současném světě, který by nebyl jen oním pošetilým lidským přisvojováním, dojímáním se, vrháním se za obrazem. V zásadě se tak jedná o dílo odpovídající tomu, o čem v nedávné době mluvil Karel Piorecký ve svém článku o metamodernismu: ironie a zmatení je text plný, toto gesto však není postmoderně relativizující, ale odhalující a sledující jakýsi obzor."

Ten, kdo chrápe, žije nezdravě – a ten, kdo je tomuto nočnímu koncertu vystaven, stejně tak. Silné nadměrné chrápání vede k poruchám spánku, trvale poškozuje imunitní systém a může způsobit srdeční obtíže a problémy krevního oběhu. Postižení bývají vystaveni trvalému stresu, který se často zrcadlí i v zátěži v partnerských vztazích. Tomu všemu se však lze vyhnout. Tato kniha seznámí čtenáře s pravidly zdravého spánku. Jsou v ní pojmenovány hlavní příčiny chrápání – nadváha, omezené dýchání nosem, nedostatek estrogenu, nadužívání alkoholu nebo vliv užívaných medikamentů, které lze napravit. Nadto kniha informuje o prostředcích a způsobech, jež chrápání výrazně omezují. Kniha je psána pro ty, kteří trpí chrápáním svým nebo svých partnerů.

Ve Wu Ming-Yiho románovém světě se iluze, představy a sny proplétají s vědeckými poznatky a úvahami a v novém světle přibližují osudy románových postav, jejich osobní ztráty a složitá životní rozhodnutí. Sledujeme jakýsi danse macabre lidí se světem. Autorovo originální pojetí environmentální literatury nám umožňuje podívat se na život složenýma očima hmyzu, prozkoumávat možnosti našich smyslů a uvědomovat si, že svět nebyl stvořen jen pro naše oči a že ve světle možných katastrof neexistuje žádný druhý. Kultura a příroda se proplétají, a tak ohrožení jednoho znamená i ohrožení druhého. Wu Ming-Yi zastupuje novou generaci Tchajwanců, pro kterou environmentální smýšlení tvoří neoddělitelnou součást identity. Román na pomezí vyprávění Haruki Murakamiho a jihoamerického magického realismu. Knihu ilustruje významný český ilustrátor Tomáš Řízek.

And while she spent most of her childhood suppressing her bold, emotional nature, Constance found an early outlet in local community theatre. The stage was the one place where big feelings were okay – were good, even. As she continued to reconcile her personality with the expectations of daily life, acting became more than a hobby. It was her refuge, her touchstone, and eventually her vocation. She went to New York to study classical theatre and pursue an acting career while waiting tables, dating, despairing, and embracing city life.
