In April 1903, Diamante, age twelve, and Vita, age nine, are sent by their poor families in Southern Italy to make a life in America. Theirs is an unforgettable love story, a tale of immigrant survival and hope that takes them from the crime-ridden tenements of Little Italy to the brutal rail yards of the Midwest.

Afrika se eeue oue magiesheid en hartstog vorm die agtergrond van die intiem verweefde komedie en tragedie in hierdie roman. Dit is gebaseer op die historiese figuur Kupido Kakkerlak (c. 1760 – c. 1825) se lewe. Maar die raaisel van 'n mens se lewe word ten beste met die verbeelding benader. Kupido is nie gebore nie, 'n arend het hom gebring. In daardie tyd het ook 'n bidsprinkaan verskyn - 'n teken van die gode. Wonderwerke het soos optelgoed op die aarde rondgele. Nadat Heitsi-Eibib in die veld aan Kupido verskyn het, raak hy as baasjagter bekend tot ver buite die grense van die boereplaas waar hy grootword. Hy is ook die drinker, leuenaar, minnaar en bakleier van die kontrei. Onder die sendeling dr. Van der Kemp se invloed word hy egter die eerste Khoi wat as sendeling aan die Kaap die Goeie Hoop georden is.

This book is a comprehensive examination of extensive reading. In this approach to the teaching and learning of second language reading, learners read large quantities of books and other materials that are well within their linguistic competence. In this text the case is made that extensive reading is an important addition to any second language reading program. Extensive reading not only provides essential practice in learning to read but also develops a positive attitude toward reading so often missed in second language reading classrooms. The authors provide a theoretical foundation for this approach by examining the cognitive and affective nature of reading. They also offer a wealth of practical suggestions for implementing extensive reading, including integrating it into the curriculum, establishing a library, selecting reading material, record-keeping evaluation, and a wide variety of classroom activities to supplement individualized silent reading.

Review

The reliability and completeness of the work deserve every praise, as does the practical arrangement of the entries. -- Bibliotheca Orientalis

There can be no doubt that...it is a basic tool for study of modern Arabic. -- Middle East Journal

Supporting the study of English literature from the Middle Ages to the present, this book is designed as an introductory text AND a helpful reference tool for an entire English Literature degree. Its key mission is to help students understand the link between the historical context in which the literature developed, how this has influenced the literature of the period and how subsequent periods in literature have been influenced by those that precede them. The book is carefully structured for undergraduate use, with a rich range of illustrations and textboxes that enhance and summarise vital background material. The seven chronological chapters are written by a team of expert contributors who are also highly experienced teachers with a clear sense of the requirements of the undergraduate English curriculum. Each analyses a major historical period, surveying and documenting the cultural contexts that have shaped English literature, and focusing on key texts. In addition to the narrative survey, each chapter includes a detailed chronology, providing a quick-reference guide to the period; contextual readings of select literary texts; and annotated suggestions for further reading.

Charles Edelman focuses on the play's sexual politics and recent scholarship devoted to the position of Jews in Shakespeare's time in this new edition. He surveys the international scope of theatrical interpretations of The Merchant in the 1980s and 1990s as well as different ways of tackling the troubling figure of Shylock.

Volphone's reverential prayer to his heaps of gold launches the sharpest, funniest play about money and morals in the 17th century - a play still wickedly relevant on the same topics four centuries later. Ben Jonson's comedy depicts selfishness thinly veiled by sanctimonious speeches, lust and possessiveness poorly disguised as love and marriage, and cynical legalism passing itself off as pure justice, alongside snobbery, class warfare and greed. The wily protagonists keep a dozen conventional plots spinning in the minds of their dupes, and when their amazing juggling act finally unravels, there are yet more twists - and an even deeper cynicisim - to the story. The play is partly a beast-fable: the wily fox, Volpone, plays dead to lure flesh-eating birds that he can then consume. But the beasts are the human race, and polite society the biggest, greediest scam of them all.

This student edition contains a lengthy Introduction with background on the author, date and sources, critical interpretation and stage history.
