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.

La columna de la muerte

Libro La columna de la muerte

La columna de la muerteno sólo nos descubre la dura realidad de la fase inicial de la guerra civil española, hasta las sangrientas batallas de Badajoz, con un estudio minucioso y desmiti cador realizado pueblo a pueblo y con la aportación de nuevas evidencias documentales, sino que renueva los estudios sobre la represión, llevándolos más allá del debate sobre las cifras, para ahondar en su naturaleza. Espinosa nos muestra que la represión no fue una consecuencia de la guerra, sino una de sus razones explicativas fundamentales y que su aparente irracionalidad cobra un nuevo sentido...

Franco

Libro Franco

Before becoming one of the longest-ruling dictators of the twentieth century, Francisco Franco commanded troops in the kinds of wars that have since become all too familiar. He not only waged vicious counterinsurgency campaigns against Muslim warlords and defiant tribes in Morocco, but he also led a multinational force to victory in Europe’s “dress rehearsal†for World War II—the Spanish Civil War. Born into a military family in 1892, Francisco Franco first made a name for himself leading attacks against rebellious Moroccan warlords and tribesmen and by 1926 was...

Quiroga

Libro Quiroga

Esta nueva obra de Miguel Ángel De Marco, reconocido historia-dor y biógrafo, aborda la vida de Juan Facundo Quiroga. Para ello el autor deja de lado la más que secular disputa librada entre los que tomaron literalmente el clásico libro de Domingo Faustino Sarmiento y los que quisieron rebatirlo, y se basa en el propio archivo del caudillo riojano y otras variadas fuentes que reflejan el pensamiento íntimo del personaje y lo confronta con el de sus contemporáneos. La relativamente corta existencia de Quiroga –murió a los 46 años– se desarrolló entre los difíciles años de la...

In an outstanding philosophical work, Emil Cioran left at his death thirty-four handwritten notebooks. "I have the fragment in the blood," said the author.
