A high-energy romp, the poet's prose memoir recounts his military service in World War I, when a comedy of errors led to his unjust arrest and imprisonment for treason.
Nicholas Delbanco Poradie kníh (chronologicky)
Nicholas Delbanco sa vo svojej tvorbe zaoberá komplexnými témami identity a exilu, pričom často čerpá zo svojej vlastnej dvojitej kultúrnej skúsenosti. Jeho próza, ovplyvnená európskymi koreňmi a americkým ukotvením, skúma motívy odcizenia a hľadania domova naprieč kontinentmi. Delbancovo majstrovstvo spočíva v prenikavom pohľade na ľudskú psychiku a v jeho schopnosti zachytiť jemné nuansy medziľudských stretov. Jeho diela sú svedectvom o trvalom vplyve pôvodu a ciest na formovanie nášho vnímania sveta.
Better readers make better writers.Today’s students do read—we know that they read a significant amount of email, text messages, web pages, and even magazines. What many do not do is read in a sustained way. Many do not come to college prepared to read long texts, nor do they come with the tools necessary to analyze and synthesize what they read. Nick Delbanco and Alan Cheuse have proven in their own teaching that when you improve students’ ability and interest in reading, you will help them improve their writing.Bringing writers to students, brings students to writing. Craft and Voice is an innovative new Introductory Literature program designed to engage students in the reading of Literature, all with a view to developing their reading, analytical, and written skills. Accompanied by, and integrated with, video interviews of dozens of living authors who are featured in the text, conducted by authors Nick Delbanco and Alan Cheuse specifically for use with their textbook, the book provides a living voice for the literature on the page and creates a link between the student and the authors of great works of literature. The first text of its kind, Craft and Voice offers a more enjoyable and effective reading experience through its fresh, inviting design and accompanying rich video program.
