Praise for Almanac of the Dead : "The best way to read Almanac of the Dead is to let it wash over you like a wave. It's brisk and gorgeous . . . and it will sweep you off your feet . . . There is genius in the sheer, tireless variousness of the novel's interconnecting tales . . . Almanac of the Dead burns at an apocalyptic pitch--passionate indictment, defiant augury, bravura storytelling." --Elizabeth Tallent, The New York Times Book Review "A brilliant, haunting, and tragic novel of ruin and resistance in the Americas. In a long dialectic, tinted with genius and compelled by a just anger, Silko dramatizes the often desperate struggle of native peoples in the Americas to keep, at all costs, the core of their culture: their way of seeing, their way of believing, their way of being. If Karl Marx had chosen to make Das Kapital a novel set in the Americas, he might have come out with a book something like this." --Larry McMurtry, author of Lonesome Dove "[ Almanac of the Dead ], both of its time and prescient, reflects an Indigenous conception of history as always simultaneously forming our present and future. Silko's calling as a storyteller emerges from her grounding in the oral tradition of the Laguna Pueblo, though she also seeks common threads of thinking across tribal philosophies of the Americas, where in many cases time is understood as nonlinear . . . Silko noted with care the past that made her present, saw the lines of movement and force that yoked together racial violence, Indigenous dispossession, and the militarization of arbitrary political borders. . . . In 1991, a book like Almanac had never been produced in Native American literature, and nothing like it has been produced since." --Lou Cornum, Lit Hub "A masterwork of American literature, the most powerful, gripping novel I've read in years." --Tony Hillerman "It's simply splendid, and I can't stress too much how happy I am to have this book in the world." --Toni Morrison "One of the most ambitious literary undertakings of the past quarter century." -- The New Republic "Leslie Marmon Silko's Almanac of the Dead is an extraordinary book, a work of immense creative power. Epic in scope, this is not something to take along for a weekend's light reading. The book's central theme is the clash of two civilizations--a clash which has persisted ever since the first Spaniards arrived in the Land of the Pueblos some 450 years ago. Almanac of the Dead is a landmark in Native American literature--the Indian War and Peace ." --Richard Erdoes, author of Lame Deer, Seeker of Visions "To read this book is to hear the voices of the ancestors and spirits telling us where we came from, who we are, and where we must go." --Maxine Hong Kingston, Praise for Almanac of the Dead : "The best way to read Almanac of the Dead is to let it wash over you like a wave.

Synopsis
"To read this book is to hear the voices of the ancestors and spirits telling us where we came from, who we are, and where we must go."--Maxine Hong Kingston In its extraordinary range of character and culture, Almanac of the Dead is fiction on the grand scale. The acclaimed author of Ceremony has undertaken a weaving of ideas and lives, fate and history, passion and conquest in an attempt to re-create the moral history of the Americas, told from the point of view of the conquered, not the conquerors., "To read this book is to hear the voices of the ancestors and spirits telling us where we came from, who we are, and where we must go." --Maxine Hong Kingston From critically acclaimed author Leslie Marmon Silko, an epic novel about people caught between two cultures and two times: the modern-day Southwest, and the places of the old ones, the native peoples of the Americas In its extraordinary range of character and culture, Almanac of the Dead is fiction on the grand scale, a brilliant, haunting, and tragic novel of ruin and resistance in the Americas. At the heart of this story is Seese, an enigmatic survivor of the fast-money, high-risk world of drug dealing--a world in which the needs of modern America exist in a dangerous balance with Native American traditions. Seese has been drawn back to the Southwest in search of her missing child. In Tuscon, she encounters Lecha, a well-known psychic who is hiding from the consequences of her celebrity. Lecha's larger duty is to transcribe the ancient, painfully preserved notebooks that contain the history of her own people--a Native American Almanac of the Dead. Through the violent lives of Lecha's extended familiy, a many-layered narrative unfolds to tell the magnificent, tragic, and unforgettable story of the struggle of native peoples in the Americas to keep, at all costs, the core of their culture: their way of seeing, their way of believing, their way of being.

- d***e (649)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThe item was not "new in box" (NIB) as listed. As the box was unsealed (as listed) some delicate parts arrived broken. A simple review of the parts would have revealed the condition to the seller and the true condition should have been disclosed. However, the seller did offer an accommodation before the conclusion of the sale so I felt it was an equitable sale. He has a lot interesting stuff listed so I would recommend dealing with him.Antwort von stumpys_store- Verkäufer stumpys_store hat auf Bewertung reagiert.- Verkäufer stumpys_store hat auf Bewertung reagiert.I am terribly sorry that item, with the box being taped I didn't open it.

Seller was unaware and kindly refunded me despite the no return policy. Very agreeable seller, very reasonable. Would definitely do business with again. The true test of a good seller is dealing with a difficult situation, and this seller came through with shining colors. Thank you again! :)

The description of the engine was good but a look little vague. The value of engine was fair. I didn’t ask if the engine was in working order and if I had I might not have bought it. It was my undoing, not the seller.ATHEARN ~ SOUTHERN PACIFIC GP35 POWERED LOCOMOTIVE # 6539 ~HO SCALE (Nr. 226617812808)
