Jews have lived for centuries in this region of the country, but by the mid-nineteenth century, assimilation has begun taking its toll on their small enclave. When Peony and the family's son, David, grow up and fall in love with one another, they face strong opposition from every side. Tradition forbids the marriage, and the family already has a rabbi's daughter in mind for David.Long celebrated for its subtle and even-handed treatment of colliding traditions, Peony is an engaging coming-of-age story about love, identity, and the tragedy and beauty found at the intersection of two disparate cultures. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the author's estate. 606 $aJews$vFiction 615 0$aJews 676 $a813.54 700 $aBuck$b Pearl S$g(Pearl Sydenstricker),$f1892-1973,$0196364 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810924403321 996 $aPeony$971655 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03676oam 2200673I 450 001 9910154981803321 005 20230808200727.0 010 $a1-351-92479-6 010 $a1-315-25135-3 024 7 $a10.4324/9781315251356 035 $a(CKB)3710000000965865 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4758864 035 $a(OCoLC)973026470 035 $a(BIP)63378554 035 $a(BIP)47728414 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000965865 100 $a20180706e20161999 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aJourneys in Ireland $eliterary travellers, rural landscapes, cultural relations /$fMartin Ryle 210 1$aLondon ;$aNew York :$cRoutledge,$d2016. 215 $a1 online resource (199 pages) $cmaps 300 $aFirst published 1996 by Ashgate Publishing. 311 08$a1-85928-200-8 311 08$a1-351-92480-X 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $a1.

An idyll? 330 $aThis volume offers a reasoned critical account of a wide range of travel writing about rural Ireland. The focus is on work by English travellers who visited Ireland for pleasure, from the 'scenic tourists' of the post-Romantic period to Eric Newby in the 1980s. Ryle also discusses accounts by American and English anthropologists, as well as writing by Irish authors including J.M. Synge, George Moore, Sean O'Faolain and Colm To?ibi?n. The materials reviewed and discussed here, including many books which are now difficult to find, offer illuminating and sometimes entertaining evidence about the development of tourism. Ryle also shows how the discourses and practices of pleasurable travel have intersected with and been marked by the dimensions of power and proprietorship, hegemony, and resistance, which have characterised Anglo-Irish and Hiberno-English cultural relations over the last two centuries. Journeys in Ireland will interest all those concerned with the literature and history of those relations, and will be an invaluable resource for scholars, teachers and students concerned with travel writing and tourism with and beyond these islands. 606 $aTravelers' writings, English$zIreland$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish prose literature$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAuthors, Irish$xHomes and haunts$zIreland 606 $aBritish$zIreland$xHistory 606 $aLiterary landmarks$zIreland 606 $aTravel writing$xHistory 606 $aLandscapes$zIreland 607 $aIreland$xDescription and travel 607 $aGreat Britain$xRelations$zIreland 607 $aIreland$xRelations$zGreat Britain 607 $aIreland$xIntellectual life 607 $aIreland$xRural conditions 615 0$aTravelers' writings, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish prose literature$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAuthors, Irish$xHomes and haunts 615 0$aBritish$xHistory. 615 0$aLiterary landmarks 615 0$aTravel writing$xHistory. 615 0$aLandscapes 676 $a914.1504824 700 $aRyle$b Martin H.$0930082 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154981803321 996 $aJourneys in Ireland$92091836 997 $aUNINA
