But for over a century, no one knew who the original John Henry was--or even if there was a real John Henry. In Steel Drivin' Man, Scott Reynolds Nelson recounts the true story of the man behind the iconic American hero, telling the poignant tale of a young Virginia convict who died working on one of the most dangerous enterprises of the time, the first rail route through the AppalachianAfrican AmericansBiographyRailroad construction workersUnited StatesBiographyJohn Henry (Legendary character)African AmericansMusicAfrican American artSouthern StatesHistory, LocalElectronic books.African AmericansRailroad construction workersJohn Henry (Legendary character)African AmericansAfrican American art.973.04960730092Nelson Scott Reynolds923777MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452089203321Steel drivin' man2083107UNINA02735nam 2200613 450 991079099710332120200520144314.00-8276-1164-10-8276-1163-3(CKB)2550000001183395(EBL)1595284(SSID)ssj0001084274(PQKBManifestationID)12445414(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001084274(PQKBWorkID)11039599(PQKB)11347129(OCoLC)868068761(MdBmJHUP)muse32514(Au-PeEL)EBL1595284(CaPaEBR)ebr10827159(CaONFJC)MIL563421(OCoLC)868488915(MiAaPQ)EBC1595284(EXLCZ)99255000000118339520140121h20142014 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrA bride for one night Talmud tales /Ruth Calderon ; translated by Ilana KurshanPhiladelphia, [Pennsylvania] :The Jewish Publication Society,2014.©20141 online resource (318 p.)"Published by the University of Nebraska Press as a Jewish Publication Society book."0-8276-1209-5 1-306-32170-0 Includes bibliographical references.The imaginative map -- The fishpond -- Sisters -- The other side -- Beloved rabbi -- Libertina -- Return -- A bride for one night -- Nazir -- Lamp -- The matron -- The goblet -- The knife -- He and his son -- Sorrow in the cave -- Elisha -- The Beruria incident -- Yishmael, my son, bless me.Ruth Calderon has recently electrified the Jewish world with her teachings of talmudic texts. In this volume, her first to appear in English, she offers a fascinating window into some of the liveliest and most colorful stories in the Talmud. Calderon rewrites talmudic tales as richly imagined fictions, drawing us into the lives of such characters as the woman who risks her life for a sister suspected of adultery; a humble schoolteacher who rescues his village from drought; and a wife who dresses as a prostitute to seduce her pious husband in their garden.
