“One of the very few good, ambitious and important novels to have been done by the writers of my generation.” —Norman Mailer The lives of four Americans born between the world wars are intertwined to devastating effect in this gripping novel from one of the twentieth century’s most acclaimed authors. Beautiful, sad Ellen Beniger; her younger brother, Tom, a scholar unhappily moonlighting as a TV writer; the athletic amorist Guy Cinturon; and tough little Eddie Bissle, ex-infantryman and Ellen’s secret lover, struggle to come to grips with the limits of their futures and the scars of their pasts as they enter middle age. Will the physical, emotional, and spiritual violations they have endured remain with them forever, or can they be healed? As The Violated builds to its stunning climax, the story of four lost souls reveals heartbreaking truths about the dark side of post–World War II America.
Volume One of the reading worksheets begins at a pre-reading level and teaches students to identify English speech sounds and sound out English words. Most students start reading within a few minutes, even students who repeatedly failed to read with conventional teaching techniques. After only ten lessons, students are reading and writing at a kindergarten level. Fun with Fonnix is a new, remarkably effective method for teaching reading. It's ideal for educators and parents seeking improved reading proficiency for their students and children, and for institutions of higher learning committed to state-of-the-art teacher preparation. The reading worksheets should be used in conjunction with the Fun with Fonnix Teacher's Manual. No previous teaching experience or professional training is required.
