"[An important] detailing of the development and evolution of a major institution of the African Diaspora [and] of Brazilian and Afro-Brazilian identity." —Sheila S. Walker The Afro-Brazilian religion Candomblé has long been recognized as an extraordinary resource of African tradition, values, and identity among its adherents in Bahia, Brazil. Outlawed and persecuted in the late colonial and imperial period, Candomblé nevertheless developed as one of the major religious expressions of the Afro-Atlantic diaspora. Drawing principally on primary sources, such as police archives, Rachel E. Harding describes the development of the religion as an "alternative" space in which subjugated and enslaved blacks could gain a sense of individual and collective identity in opposition to the subaltern status imposed upon them by the dominant society.
Originally published along with short stories in his weekly serial “Master Humphrey's Clock” from 1840 to 1841, “The Old Curiosity Shop” tells the tale of Nell Trent and her grandfather who both live in The Old Curiosity Shop in London. In an attempt to secure Nell's financial future, her grandfather dabbles with gambling but ends up losing it all. Convinced that Nell's grandfather has managed to save a small fortune for her, Nell's wastrel brother Frederick teams up with the insalubrious Quip to hunt the pair who have run away to the Midlands to live as beggars. Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812–1870) was an English writer and social critic famous for having created some of the world's most well-known fictional characters. His works became unprecedentedly popular during his life, and today he is commonly regarded as the greatest Victorian-era novelist. Although perhaps better known for such works as “Oliver Twist” or “A Christmas Carol”, Dickens first gained success with the 1836 serial publication of “The Pickwick Papers”, which turned him almost overnight into an international literary celebrity thanks to his humour, satire, and astute observations concerning society and character. This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with an introductory chapter from “Appreciations and Criticisms of the Works of Charles Dickens” by G. K. Chesterton.
This edition includes: Stories About Children Every Child Can Read: Trotty Veck and Meg Tiny Tim The Runaway Couple Little Dorrit The Toy-Maker and His Blind Daughter Little Nell Little David Copperfield Jenny Wren Pip's Adventure Todgers' Dick Swiveller and the Marchioness Mr. Wardle's Servant Joe The Brave and Honest Boy, Oliver Twist Novels: Oliver Twist Nicholas Nickleby The Old Curiosity Shop Martin Chuzzlewit David Copperfield Great Expectations Christmas Novellas: A Christmas Carol The Chimes The Cricket on the Hearth Children's Books: Child's Dream of a Star Holiday Romance Dickens's Children Christmas Stories A Christmas Tree The Poor Relation's Story The Child's Story The Schoolboy's Story Nobody's Story The Christmas Goblin Tom Tiddler's Ground A Child's History of England Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was an English writer and social critic.
