Seeking to Understand the World: Literary Journalism of Vincent Sheean

Resumen del Libro

Libro Seeking to Understand the World: Literary Journalism of Vincent Sheean

Vincent Sheean, a groundbreaking American foreign correspondent and author, is known for reporting from Europe, North Africa, and Asia, writing news reports, articles, and books. A few books and articles have described Vincent Sheean’s life, and briefly discussed his major nonfiction books. However, no book-length study or article has closely examined his nonfiction books. 'Seeking to Understand the World: Literary Journalism of Vincent Sheean', textually analyzes his five nonfiction, journalistic books to examine them for characteristics of literary journalism. Spanning nearly the entirety of his journalistic career, these books include 'Personal History' (1935), 'Not Peace but a Sword' (1939), 'Between the Thunder and the Sun' (1943), 'Lead, Kindly Light' (1949), and 'Nehru: The Years of Power' (1960). Set in different world areas, the books illuminate events as disparate as the Riffian war, the Spanish Civil War, the infamous Munich pact, the Nazi bombing of London, and the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. Sheean’s books provide an in-depth, personal look at these and related events. This book includes analysis of Sheean’s works, finding that they have several prominent characteristics of literary journalism: stories and scenes, cohesive structure, lifelike characters, vivid description, well-crafted sentences, immersive reporting, among others.

José Martí

Libro José Martí

José Martí (1853–1895) was the founding hero of Cuban independence. In all of modern Latin American history, arguably only the “Great Liberator” Simón Bolívar rivals Martí in stature and legacy. Beyond his accomplishments as a revolutionary and political thinker, Martí was a giant of Latin American letters, whose poetry, essays, and journalism still rank among the most important works of the region. Today he is revered by both the Castro regime and the Cuban exile community, whose shared veneration of the “apostle” of freedom has led to his virtual apotheosis as a national...

Libro Nuestras anécdotas

Este libro es nuestro. Solo para nosotros. Tal vez uno sea el que lo ha escrito, pero todos hemos colaborado. Y es una primicia en el mundo militar de una promoción concreta. Se han hecho revistas de fotos, artículos de opinión,... Nadie, que yo sepa, ha escrito un anecdotario de una promoción militar en España. Por tanto, esta novedad “realizada, como digo, entre todos” constituye un avance en la literatura de grupo. Nuestro libro no va a ser vendido, por razones obvias de seguridad. Tal vez más adelante se ponga a la venta cambiando los nombres y modificando algunos detalles, pero ...
