Free Download Unlived Lives in English Literature: A Typological Study By Lena Linne
2019 | 287 Pages | ISBN: 3825346625 | PDF | 3 MB
If I had acted differently, then…" – most human beings indulge in counterfactual thought experiments at one point or another. For the fictional characters analysed in this book, they are a central preoccupation. The characters obsessively review their past, looking at a road they did not take, pondering on a life they did not live. Drawing on narratology, theories of counterfactuality and the study of motifs, the book suggests a typology of unlived lives, which is based on more than fifty works from the nineteenth century to the present. In addition, the book offers seven readings. These focus on texts in which the motif of the unlived life features in an especially characteristic or challenging manner: Henry James’s ‘The Diary of a Man of Fifty’ and ‘The Jolly Corner’, Virginia Woolf’s ‘Mrs Dalloway’, Vita Sackville-West’s ‘All Passion Spent’, Samuel Beckett’s ‘Krapp’s Last Tape’ and Alice Munro’s ‘Carried Away’ and ‘Dolly’.

Free Download Halal Sex: The Intimate Lives of Muslim Women in North America (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0B5M88G9K | 2023 | 5 hours and 37 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 312 MB
Author: Sheima Benembarek
Narrator: Sheima Benembarek, Mona Eltahawy
An unprecedented glimpse into the sex lives of female and gender-expansive Muslims living across Canada and the United States. In the Muslim world, sex is permissible (or halal) only within the confines of marriage. Outside of wedlock, the act is considered haram, a sin of the faith. Girls are taught to protect their virginity; their mothers, if not forgoing "the talk" altogether, obscure the facts with elliptical language and metaphors. So, what happens when immigrants and the children of immigrants set about pursuing an open and active sex life on a more sexually liberated continent, amid western peers and attitudes? The six deeply personal stories in Halal Sex attempt to answer this question, bringing a hushed conversation out into the open. With great empathy, Sheima Benembarek makes space for the honesty and vulnerability of each participant and handles their stories with gentleness and care. What emerges is a tapestry of a diverse Islam-encompassing a wide variety of cultural and religious and socioeconomic backgrounds-and a frank, feminist contribution to the advancement of Muslim sexual education and pleasure.
