Charlotte Nicholls, CURRER BELL (CHARLOTTE BRONTE'S PEN NAME) | 81,109 (129,908) | 2,063 | 106 |  (4.04) | 594 | 0 | Charlotte Bronte, the third of six children, was born April 21, 1816, to the Reverend Patrick Bronte and Maria Branwell Bronte in Yorkshire, England. Along with her sisters, Emily and Anne, she produced some of the most impressive writings of the 19th century. The Brontes lived in a time when women used pseudonyms to conceal their female identity, hence Bronte's pseudonym, Currer Bell. Charlotte Bronte was only five when her mother died of cancer. In 1824, she and three of her sisters attended the Clergy Daughter's School in Cowan Bridge. The inspiration for the Lowood School in the classic Jane Eyre was formed by Bronte's experiences at the Clergy Daughter's School. Her two older sisters died of consumption because of the malnutrition and harsh treatment they suffered at the school. Charlotte and Emily Bronte returned home after the tragedy. The Bronte sisters fueled each other's creativity throughout their lives. As young children, they wrote long stories together about a complex imaginary kingdom they created from a set of wooden soldiers. In 1846, Charlotte Bronte, with her sisters Emily and Anne published a thin volume titled Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. In the same year, Charlotte Bronte attempted to publish her novel, The Professor, but was rejected. One year later, she published Jane Eyre, which was instantly well received. Charlotte Bronte's life was touched by tragedy many times. Despite several proposals of marriage, she did not accept an offer until 1854 when she married the Reverend A. B. Nicholls. One year later, at the age of 39, she died of pneumonia while she was pregnant. Her previously rejected novel, The Professor, was published posthumously in 1857.

(aggiunto da Barnes & Noble)  Menaul School 2014 Summer Reading List Bookworks, Mercoledì, Giugno 18, 2014 alle 3:42pm Bookworks can supply your Menaul School student with reading selections for summer reading. The list is online at http://www.menaulschool.com/academics/summer_reading_program/ and listed below. Please choose at least one book to read over the summer and add it to your cart below. Mr. Sitler: The River Between by Ngugi wa Thiongo--Grades 11-12 This beautifully written novel tells the story of the peoples of two villages in colonial Kenya, separated but united by the river that flows between them, as they struggle with change, identity, religious conflict, leadership and love. Ms. Schlabach: The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander--Grades 10-12 Recent racially charged events like the killing of Trayvon Martin and Clippers owner Donald Sterling’s comments about the African American community, and the Supreme Court’s ruling on affirmative action in Michigan, serve to remind us that, rather than being a thing of the past, issues of race and racism continue to be at the center of debate in the United States. Michelle Alexander’s book The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness will be an interesting read for any high school student interested in exploring the complex relationship between race and the American Justice System. Students will be challenged to think through their understanding of “racial progress” and many of the myths that shape our understanding of the American criminal justice system and its impact on racial minorities like African Americans, Hispanics, and undocumented immigrants. Mr. Baumgartel: Banner in the Sky by James Ramsey Ullman--Grades 8-11 Rudi is a Swiss 16-year-old whose father died climbing The Citadel. Climbing the mountain has become Rudi’s sole passion, and Ullman’s capturing of the adventure of the climb has kept readers of all ages turning the pages since the book was published seventy years ago. Ms. Shuler-Misra: Three squares: The Invention of the American Meal by Abigail Carroll--Grades 10-12 This book traces the evolution of Americans' eating habits, from colonial times (where people ate only one meal in the middle of the day) through the present (when snacks and processed foods are very common). The influences of other cultures' foods on American eating are explored, and in reading the book, students will be able to trace American history through what we eat! Mr. Gilbert: Travels With Max by Gregory Zeigler--Grades 8 & up Inspired by Travels with Charley, Gregory Zeigler celebrated the 50th anniversary of renowned Nobel Prize-winning author John Steinbeck's storied trip. In 2009, Zeigler and his dog Max drove and camped 15,000 miles over nine weeks, exploring the country and determining what Americans are like today. Travels With Max offers a retrospective on Steinbeck and his work, as well as an insightful, humorous and upbeat perspective on modern America. Greg is an old friend of Menaul School, has spoken at chapel, to classes, and includes his Menaul School visits as part of his travelogue. Ms. Hennigan: Spider Woman's Daughter by Anne Hillerman--Grades 10-12 This is an engaging mystery set in the Navajo Nation with likeable and memorable characters from the award-winning Tony Hillerman stories. The book is filled with Native American culture, an interesting plot, and great descriptions of Northwestern New Mexico landscapes. Mr. Lucero: The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd--Grades 9-12 This novel is a tale of Sarah Grimke and her sister living in Charleston, South Carolina, in the early nineteenth century and their pleas for civil rights--those rights inherently belonging to each human being no matter his or her race, religion, gender, or social position. Ultimately, the novel affirms that if one is afflicted with misfortune or physical and psychological impairment, one can "invent" one's wings and soar above weakness to reach a life of rich purpose and personal fulfillment. Mr. Moses: Fail Safe by Eugene Burdick--Grades 8-11This highly suspenseful novel narrates the story of a Cold War crisis between the Soviet Union and the United States that might trigger a nuclear war. It is probably the best written and most gripping of the Cold War novels, truly capturing the anxiety and stress of that era. Mr. Ortiz: The Giver By Lois Lowry--Grades 8-9 What could possibly be wrong with a world where there is no war, hunger or pain? A young boy begins to see the imperfections in this "perfect world." It might be fun to compare this book to the film being released this summer. Mr. Bryant: The Banjo of Destiny by Cary Fagan--Grade 6 Jeremiah wants to please his parents. But one day, by chance, he hears the captivating strains of a different kind of music — the strums, plucks and rhythms of a banjo. It's music that stirs something in Jeremiah's dutiful little soul, and he is suddenly obsessed. Accompanied by line drawings by Selçuk Demirel and supplemented by advice and resources on making a homemade banjo, this is a funny, inspiring and timeless story about finding something you love to do, and then setting out, despite all obstacles, to do it. Ms. Crockett: My Name Is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok--Grades 8-10 It's a story about a boy growing through adulthood confronting his orthodox religious culture and family; he finds his voice and maturity through art. Ms. Symonds: The bluest eye by Toni Morrison--Grades 10-12 The main character, Pecola Breedlove, is constantly ridiculed for her black skin, curly hair, and brown eyes. Craving the approval of her peers, she wishes for blond hair and blue eyes. This book examines society's view of beauty while asking questions about race, class, and gender. Ms. Young: Red Sky at Morning by Richard Bradford--Grades 8-10 This is a sometimes zany, sometimes painful coming of age story, set in World War II Santa Fe. A young man explores his new home, new responsibilities, and new relationships in this beautiful book that the Washington Post Book World called "A sort of Catcher in the Rye out West". Ms. Young has 10 – 15 personal copies of the book that students may borrow. Rev. Buddy Monahan: Shoe Marks by Karen Vance Hammond A paranormal story based on true events of a family who buys a haunted house, and lives to regret it. A very easy read that grabs you from the beginning. Following the story of Maggie Horton’s ghost and the family who have moved into her house, Shoe Marks takes a unique look at both sides of the ghost story. As an author who has battled dyslexia her entire life, Karen has done an outstanding job on this book and the book has been nominated for many awards. Ms. Fritts: Merle's Door by Ted Karasote--Grades 6 & up This is a heart-warming true story about the life of a stray dog, who found his way into the author's life. Ms. Rogge: Feed by M.T. Anderson--Grades 7-8 Feed is a young adult science fiction novel that examines individual’s and society’s relationship with media and the internet and focuses on contemporary topics such as corporate political dominance, technology and information, consumerism, data gathering and the environment. In Feed, an American teenager loses his biological internet "Feed" and begins to recognize how society has deteriorated into a cultural wasteland that brainwashes the population with advertisements and blatant consumerism that only benefits huge companies. Mrs. Gilbert: I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai--Grades 7-9 This book is a true story of a teenage girl and her tragic shooting and her fight for edcation for girls all over the world. It is very inspirational. Ms. Yoder: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte--Grades 7-8 Jane Eyre is the story of a small, plain-faced, intelligent, and passionate English orphan. Jane is abused by her aunt and cousin and then attends a harsh charity school. Through it all she remains strong and determinedly refuses to allow a cruel world to crush her independence or her strength of will. A masterful story of a woman's quest for freedom and love. Jane Eyre is partly autobiographical, and Charlotte Brontë filled it with social criticism and sinister Gothic elements. Readers will relate to the book’s universal themes including: suffering through social class prejudice, exhibiting loyalty to those we love, longing for family, appreciating gender issues, and surviving a difficult childhood.

Paula Byrne’s earlier book Jane Austen and the Theatre was described by Paul Johnson in the Spectator as ‘the best book on Jane Austen I have ever read’, and Frances Wilson, reviewing Mad World: Evelyn Waugh and the Secrets of Brideshead for the Sunday Times wrote ‘Byrne’s gift as a writer is her ability to combine scholarship with turbo-driven narrative power.’ To mark the 200th anniversary of the publication of Pride and Prejudice Paula Byrne will be at the shop to talk about Austen with regular LRB contributor John Mullan, Professor of English at University College London and author of How Novels Work, Anonymity: A Secret History of English Literature, and What Matters in Jane Austen?: Twenty Crucial Puzzles Solved. The Real Jane Austen: A Life in Small Things (MDGentleReader)… (altro) Ayana Mathis & Emily Raboteau In the “astonishingly powerful” novel The Twelve Tribes of Hattie, Ayana Mathis writes with “uncommon narrative authority” and “extraordinary psychological precision” (New York Times). The book—selected for Oprah’s Book Club 2.0—follows 15-year-old Hattie, who flees Georgia during the Great Migration and settles in 20th century Philadelphia to a life of harrowing domestic adversity. The story unfolds as a searing portrait of one family’s loss and heartbreak, and endurance in the face of agonizing grief. A graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, Mathis “has a gift for imbuing her characters’ stories with an epic dimension that recalls Toni Morrison’s writing… but her elastic voice is thoroughly her own—both lyrical and unsparing, meditative and visceral” (New York Times).
Emily Raboteau, winner of the Pushcart Prize is the author of The Professor’s Daughter, a novel which traces a young woman’s search for identity in a biracial family wrought with recent tragedy. In her new book Searching for Zion, Raboteau unites memoir with historical and cultural exploration in searching out black communities that left home in search of a Promised Land. Praised Edwidge Danticat, Searching for Zion is “an exceptionally beautiful and well researched book about a search for the kind of home for which there is no straight route, the kind of home in which the journey itself is as revelatory as the destination.” Raboteau’s short stories have appeared in Best American Short Stories, Best African American Fiction, and Best American Mystery Stories.
