Se trata de deleitarnos con la lectura a un precio contenido. Entre las recomendaciones de hoy, la saga de libros del comisario Georges Dupin y la última entrega que se ha publicado en edición de bolsillo: «Un misterio en Aber Wrac'H», penúltima entrega de la serie que va ya por doce entregas nacidas de la pluma del autor Jean-Luc Bannalec. Además, tenemos un thriller, como «La paciente silenciosa»; y otra intriga, en este caso ambientada en Gran Bretaña, «El nudo Windsor». El quinteto de recomendaciones de esta semana se completa con «Viento del este, viento del oeste», de Pearl S. Buck; y «El hijo del siglo» un acercamiento entre el ensayo y la narrativa al momento en que Mussolini llega al poder.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the woman who, for almost fifty years, was the most powerful figure in the Chinese court. Cixi (1835-1908) started out at court as one of the Emperor's many concubines, yet was the only one who gave him a son to succeed him and who also possessed great political skill and ambition. When their son became emperor he was still a young child and Cixi ruled first through him and then, following his death, through another child emperor. This was a time of rapid change in China, when western powers and Japan humiliated the forces of the Qing empire time after time, and Cixi had the chance to push forward the modernising reforms the country needed to thrive. However, when she found those reforms conflicted with her own interests or those of the Qing dynasty, she was arguably obstructive or too slow to act and she has been personally blamed for some of those many humiliations even when the fault lay elsewhere.

Joyce, Proust, Woolf och Eliot präglar modernismens gyllene år 1922. Men allt fokus på detta år har varit skadligt och gjort litteraturen mindre än vad den är, menar litteraturvetaren Paul Tenngart. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Det är ett välkänt faktum att flera av huvudfigurerna under modernismens viktigaste år, 1922, aldrig fick Nobelpriset i litteratur: James Joyce, Marcel Proust och Virginia Woolf – alla saknas de på listan över stockholmsprisade världsförfattare. Det är väl egentligen bara T.S. Eliot som både bidrog till de legendariska litterära experimenten 1922 och belönades av Svenska Akademien, även om han fick vänta i tjugofem år efter det att The Waste Land publicerades innan han fick priset 1948.Dessa luckor har gett upphov till stark kritik genom årens lopp, ibland rentav föraktfullt hån. Oförmågan att belöna Joyce, Proust och Woolf har setts som belägg för att Svenska Akademien är en inskränkt och obsolet sammanslutning långt ute – eller långt uppe – i den kulturella och geografiska periferin som aldrig borde ha fått uppdraget att dela ut världens viktigaste litterära pris.Vem var det då som fick Nobelpriset 1922? Jo, det gick förstås inte till någon modernist, utan till ett av de idag allra mest bortglömda författarskapen i prisets historia, den spanske dramatikern Jacinto Benavente. Benaventes realistiska dramatik förhåller sig på ett direkt sätt till samtidens sociala frågor och strävar efter en naturlig, icke-teatral dialog. Författarskapet ligger med andra ord långt ifrån högmodernismens eruption av formella experiment.Den litteraturhistoria som Nobelpriserna tecknar är en annan än den vanliga. Men det innebär inte att den är felaktig eller destruktiv. Tvärtom: Nobelprisets parallella historia ger ett lika uppfriskande som konstruktivt – ja, kanske rentav nödvändigt relativiserande – alternativ till den litteraturhistoriska normen.Det är ju faktiskt inte givet att den litteratur som Joyce, Proust, Woolf och Eliot producerade 1922 är bättre än all annan litteratur. Litterära värden är ju knappast naturgivna. Det blir inte minst tydligt när man tittar på vilka Nobelpris som har hyllats och vilka som har kritiserats genom åren. Beslutet att ge schweizaren Carl Spitteler 1919 års pris har i efterhand kritiserats i flera omgångar av internationella bedömare. Men på åttiotalet framstod detta överraskande val som ett av Svenska Akademiens allra bästa. Ett av de pris som de flesta har tyckt om men som enstaka kritiker har fnyst åt är T.S. Eliots. ”Framtiden kommer att skratta”, menade litteraturprofessorn Henri Peyre från Yale University 1951, ”åt det brist på perspektiv i vår tid som gör att vi uppfattar Eliot som en litterär talang av högsta rang.”Den västeuropeiska modernismen – med året 1922 som kronologiskt epicentrum – har under en lång tid lagt sig som en gigantisk blöt filt över hela den internationella litteraturhistorieskrivningen. Vad som hände under det tidiga 20-talet i Paris och London har blivit en grundmurad norm: då och där skrevs det bästa av det bästa. Aldrig tidigare och aldrig senare har litteraturen varit så modern. Hmm.Som inget annat år i världshistorien har universitetskurser och läroböcker tjatat sönder 1922 och dess litterära utgivning. Denna historieskrivning är inte bara slö och slentrianmässig, den är också ordentligt förminskande av en hel modern världshistoria där det skrivits litteratur på alla platser, på alla språk och i alla genrer.Denna kronologiska normativitet har också med all önskvärd tydlighet hjälpt till att gång på gång bekräfta och upprätthålla den västerländska kulturella hegemonin. Som den franska världslitteraturforskaren Pascale Casanova skriver: Västeuropa och USA har kommit att äga det moderna. Moderniteten har kommit att definieras som västerländsk, och det som definierats som modernt har betraktats som per definition bra. De få texter och författarskap som lyfts in i den moderna världslitteraturen från andra delar av världen har fått sin plats där för att de påminner om fransk, brittisk eller amerikansk modernism.Den här normativa litteraturhistorieskrivningen ger också en väldigt sned uppfattning om hur litteratur existerar i världen, och hur den utvecklas och förändras. Det var ju knappast så att läsarna 1922 hängde på låsen till bokhandlarna för att skaffa Joyces nya 900-sidiga experiment Ulysses och T.S. Eliots notförsedda friversdikt The Waste Land så fort dessa texter anlände från trycket. Nä, 1922 var de flesta läsande människor upptagna med andra författare, till exempel sådana som fick Nobelpriset under den perioden: den franske sedesskildraren Anatole France, den norska författaren till historiska romaner Sigrid Undset eller den italienska skildraren av sardiniskt folkliv Grazia Deledda.Än mer brett tilltalande var den litteratur som prisades på trettiotalet, då många kritiker i efterhand har tyckt att Svenska Akademien borde ha kunnat ha vett och tidskänsla nog att ge de inte helt lättillgängliga modernisterna Paul Valéry eller John Dos Passos priset. Då belönades istället Forsythe-sagans skapare John Galsworthy, då fick Roger Martin du Gard priset för sin stora realistiska romansvit om familjen Thibault, och då belönades Erik Axel Karlfeldt – som inte var någon gigant ute i världen, det medges, men mycket omtyckt av många svenska läsare.Det är också under den här tiden som det mest hånade av alla litterära Nobelpris delas ut, till Pearl S. Buck. Men Buck har fått en renässans på senare år. Hon var visserligen från USA, men levde stora delar av sitt liv i Kina och förde med sina lantlivsskildringar in det stora landet i öster i den prisvinnande litteraturen. Och i sin motivering lyfte Nobelkommittéen fram just dessa världsvidgande egenskaper: den amerikanska författarens romaner är ”avgjort märkliga genom äkthet och rikedom i skildringen och sällsynt kunskap och insikt i en för västerländska läsare föga känd och mycket svårtillgänglig värld”. Buck ger inblick i nya kulturella sammanhang, berikar den kulturellt sett högst begränsade västerländska litteraturen med motiv och tematik från en mångtusenårig kultur med en minst lika gedigen litterär tradition som den europeiska.Vad hade hänt om Nobelpriset istället hade gett postuma pris till Rainer Maria Rilke och Marcel Proust, och hunnit belöna Joyce och Woolf innan de dog i början av fyrtiotalet? Rilke, Proust, Joyce och Woolf hade ju knappast kunnat vara större och mer centrala än de redan är. Ingen skillnad där alltså. Men det hade varit mycket svårare för oss att hitta fram till Buck, du Gard, Galsworthy, Deledda, France – och till 1922 års stora litterära namn när det begav sig: Jacinto Benavente. Utan pris hade de alla varit helt undanskymda, osynliga, bortglömda. Nu ser vi dem fortfarande, tack vare den alternativa historieskrivning som Nobelprisets löpande och oåterkalleliga kanonisering skapar.

Crees que las Buenas Líderes… ¿nacen o se hacen? Jacinda Ardern, Maya Angelou, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, Pearl S. Buck y Anita Roddick. Estas mujeres tienen algo en común: son grandes Líderes. Pero también tienen otra cosa en común: no nacieron siendo tales. Nacieron con una serie de cartas que les repartió el azar y supieron jugar. Lo que les convirtió en grandes mujeres líderes fue su capacidad común de sacar lo mejor de sí mismas y de los demás. ------- 📆Los próximos días 14, 15 y 16 de marzo tendrá lugar el III evento online de Liderazgo. ➡️Si quieres acompañarme y dar el primer paso para mover corazones desde el ejemplo, tal y como hicieron estas 3 mujeres, reserva tu entrada a través del enlace: https://alexroviraescuela.com/registro-evento-liderazgo?utm_source=patreon&utm_medium=rrss&utm_campaign=li_03/23 Es un evento online y gratuito.

Análisis Con Alexis Ortiz. Eps #36 El Premio Nobel de Literatura es uno de los galardones más prestigiosos del mundo dedicados a las letras, siendo uno de los cinco premios originales que Alfred Nobel consignó para que la Academia Sueca otorgara como parte de su legado. El mismo se concede a un autor cuya obra haya sido significativa y destacada y su dotación asciende a los ocho millones de coronas suecas, algo menos de un millón de euros. Su importancia mediática hace que su entrega anual, el primer jueves de octubre, se convierta en uno de los momentos más importantes del calendario literario.  A lo largo de la historia del premio, que se inició en 1901 con Sully Prudhomme, han sido galardonados autores como Rudyard Kipling, Rabindranath Tagore, Jacinto Benavente, W. B. Yeats, G.B. Shaw, Luigi Piandello, Pearl S. Buck, Herman Hesse, T.S. Eliot, Faulkner, entre otros grandes clásicos de la literatura. Bob Dylan, siendo cantante, ha sido el ganador del premio Nobel de Literatura en su edición de 2016. Los premios anteriores habían recaído en personalidades tan conocidas como Svetlana Alexievich, Patrick Modiano, el autor, político y ensayista peruano, Mario Vargas Llosa, Mo Ya o la canadiense Alice Munro. El poeta y escritor mexicano, Octavio Paz está considerado como uno de los más grandes autores del siglo XX, ganador del Premio Nobel de literatura en 1990. Otro de los nuestros, autor colombiano, Gabriel García Márquez, destacó, sin duda como uno de los más grandes narradores de la literatura del siglo XX, y recibió el galardón más importante de su carrera en 1982. Así mismo aconteció en 1971 el Poeta chileno, Pablo Neruda. En 1967 el Escritor guatemalteco, Migue Ángel Asturias recibió el Premio Nobel de Literatura. Poeta chilena, Gabriela Mistral, llegó a ser galardonada en 1945.   Edición y Montaje: Jesús Carreño   Voice Over: Jessika C. #literatura #premionobel #premionobeldeliteratura Podcast recorded at: Nmmiami Studio. nmmiami.com @nmmiamiradio Para más información: anexostudio@gmail.com / nmmiamiradioonline@gmail.com Doral, FL 33166

Welcome aboard for another crazy episode! Today on the train we step into a familiar world…or should we say .. Worlds? A couple episodes ago we did some mass disappearances and you know we love some true crime so today we sort  of combine the two. You see, for the mass disappearances episode there was one case that kept popping up. Now this was interesting to us because we've had that particular case on our list of shows to do for some time now. We figured this would be a good time to go ahead and finally do it. Today we are talking about the disappearance of the Sodder children.  The incident happened on Christmas Eve in 1945 in Fayetteville, West Virginia. George and Jenny Sodder lived with 9 of their 10 children. At the time, the oldest son was off fighting in WW2. The night of the incident, Jennie was awoken three times.   First, at 12:30 a.m., she was awoken by a phone call during which she could hear a woman's voice she didnt recognize asking for a name she didn't know, as well as glasses clinking in the background. Jennie told the caller she had reached the wrong number, later recalling the woman's "weird laugh". As she did, she noticed that some of the lights were still on and the curtains hadn't been closed, two things the children normally did when they stayed up later than their parents. Marion had fallen asleep on the living room couch, so Jennie assumed the other children ,who had stayed up later, had gone back up to the attic where they slept. She closed the curtains, turned out the lights, and returned to bed. She then went back to bed only to be startled by a loud bang and a rolling noise on the roof. She soon dozed off again and finally awoke an hour later at around 130, to see the house engulfed in smoke. She found that the room George used for his office was on fire, around the telephone line and fuse box.   Those are pretty much the facts that can be proven for the most part. Everything else…well it's strange to say the least.   George and Jennie made it out of that fire, as did Sylvia, just a toddler at the time. Also two of their teenage children, Marion and George Jr, made it out. 23 year old John rounded out the kids that made it out alive. Or did he? John said in his first police interview after the fire that he went up to the attic to alert his siblings sleeping there, though he later changed his story to say that he only called up there and did not actually see them. The children remaining inside were Maurice 14 , Martha 12, Louis 9, Jennie 8, and Betty 5. According to accounts, Marion, ran to the neighbors house to call the fire department because their phone was not working. A driver on the nearby road had also seen the flames and called from a nearby tavern; they too were unsuccessful either because they could not reach the operator or because the phone there turned out to be broken. It was Christmas Eve and I've read that the police chief sent everyone home to their families. She couldn't get an answer so another neighbor went to find the fire chief and let him know what was happening.    While this was going on, George, who climbed an outside wall, barefoot, to get to the attic and Jennie tried desperately to save their other children. This is where some of the strange things happen. First off neither of the Sodders trucks would start, despite having worked perfectly during the previous day.. Then their ladder was found to be mysteriously missing. Because of the family not being able to get help from the neighbor and their trucks oddly not starting when they tried to leave to look for the fire chief, help didn't arrive until 8am, almost 7 hours later. The fire department is just 2 miles from the home. The fire department was low on manpower due to the war and relying on individual firefighters to call each other. Chief F.J. Morris said the next day that the already slow response was further hampered by his inability to drive the fire truck, requiring that he wait until someone who could drive was available. Because he was fucking drunk; partying at a local pub, celebrating Christmas Eve. Oh, and one of the firefighters was Jennie's brother, their children's uncle.   The fire was initially blamed on faulty wiring, even though the Sodders claim there had never been any kind of issues with the electrical wiring before. In fact, A visitor to the house, seeking work, went around to the back of the house and warned George that a pair of fuse boxes would "cause a fire someday." George was puzzled by the observation, since he had just had the house rewired when an electric stove was installed, and the local electric company had said afterwards it was safe.   During the investigation something happened that makes this case the crazy thing that we are talking about. 5 of the Sodder children allegedly perished in the fire but the body's were never found. The fire chief told them the fire had cremated the bodies. Jennie asked a crematorium worker if that was possible, the worker told Jennie that bones remain even after bodies are burned at 2,000 degrees for two hours. The Sodder home only took 45 minutes to burn to the ground. So we did a little fact checking about this and there is a lot of argument about whether a house fire can burn bones to ash, but, it seems like those who have degrees and a bunch of letters after their name all agree that a house fire typically will not burn hot enough to get rid of bones. Also another thing we found is that even during cremations bones do not actually turn to dust. In fact after being incinerated at usually between 1800-2000°f, for about 2 hours, the bones are the only thing left. Now, the bones are not the same, granted, as with all the heat, it destroys the structure of the bone but does not turn it to ash. The ashes you receive are actually the bones of the deceased that have been put into what is essentially a big mixer, to pulverize them into dust. So enjoy that thought.    At any rate, due to what the experts said, the family did not believe that the other children simply burned up in the fire. They believed something else happened to the kids. But what else could have happened?   What else would lead one to think something possibly nefarious happened? Well according to some reports, some strange things happened in the lead up to the fire. One strange thing that happened was that in the months before the fire a "ominous drifter, hinted at doom '' We're assuming it was like Friday the 13th…the guy just points and goes…you're all dooooooomed, doomed! Whatever happened it sounds funny.    A few weeks earlier, not too far out from the incident, an angry insurance salesman berated George, telling him that his house was going to go up in smoke and his children would be destroyed as a retaliation for his criticisms of Mussolini in the mostly Italian immigrant community. Actually he said "the dirty remarks you have been making about Mussolini." If it was a sales tactic, it definitely needs work, otherwise, it's oddly specific! Also a bus driver came forward and spoke of how she saw "fireballs" being thrown into the roof of the house, could that be the noise she heard?   In the weeks before Christmas that year, George's older sons had also noticed a strange car parked along the main highway through town, its occupants watching the younger Sodder children as they returned from school.   What about the man who cut off the telephone lines at the Sodder residence? Someone witnessed him taking away a block and tackle used to remove car engines during the fire. He admitted to the theft but answered that he had no part in starting the fire; he had just wanted to cut off the power lines but instead clipped the telephone line. He was let go, and no records exist identifying him or questioning why he wanted to cut lines to steal a block and tackle.    Then on top of that you have the incidents on the night of the fire. There was the phone call and then the noise on the roof and she woke up to smoke in the house. Put all that together, and one could see where people may start to form some theories that this was more than just a tragic house fire.  You know we love a good conspiracy theory as much as the next folks…well at least Moody does.    Not only that, sightings of the children started almost immediately. For starters, locals reported seeing the 5 children in a car that was driving past and watching the fire. Then the next morning a woman operating a truck stop claimed she saw the children come in for breakfast with 4 Italian speaking adults.  Once pictures began to circulate, more sightings came in. a woman said that she saw four of the children (where was the fifth?) in the company of four adults at a hotel in South Carolina.  Which could lend credence to the truck stop story, which also mentioned 4 adults.    Armed with all these facts, George and Jennie went back to the police and demanded to have the fire further investigated. But the police refused, claiming that the coroner's inquiry determined that no crime had been committed.   This is when George and Jennie decided they would continue the search on their own.   George would constantly go and dig through the rubble trying to find something. At one point his searching seemed to find the first evidence of the children. He found what appeared to be an internal organ and also some small pieces of bone. They were sent for testing and the tests revealed that the "organ" was a cow's liver, and that the bones were from someone older than any of the missing children. The small bone fragments that were unearthed were determined to have been human vertebrae. The bone fragments were sent to Marshall T. Newman, a specialist at the Smithsonian Institution. They were confirmed to be lumbar vertebrae, all from the same person. "Since the transverse recesses are fused, the age of this individual at death should have been 16 or 17 years", Newman's report said. "The top limit of age should be about 22 since the centra, which normally fuse at 23, are still unfused". Thus, given this age range, it was not very likely that these bones were from any of the five missing children, since the oldest, Maurice, had been 14 at the time (although the report allowed that vertebrae of a boy his age sometimes were advanced enough to appear to be at the lower end of the range). Also the bones show no sign of being affected in any way by the fire. It was speculated that the bone fragments were mixed in with some dirt brought in to help fill in the basement. Later, Tinsley supposedly confirmed that the bone fragments had come from a cemetery in nearby Mount Hope, but could not explain why they had been taken from there or how they came to be at the fire site. The Smithsonian returned the bone fragments to George in September 1949, according to its records; their current location is unknown.  As far as the liver, it is said that a private investigator found out that the liver was put there by the fire chief at some point in hopes the family would find it and accept the idea that the kids perished in the fire.  George sometimes made his own sightings. On one occasion, George saw a magazine photo of a group of young ballet dancers in New York City, one of whom looked like his missing daughter Betty. He drove all the way to the girl's school, where his repeated demands to see the girl himself were refused.   The investigation and its findings attracted national attention, and the West Virginia Legislature held two hearings on the case in 1950. Afterwards, however, Governor Okey L. Patteson and state police superintendent W.E. Burchett told the Sodders the case was "hopeless" and closed it at the state level. The FBI decided it had jurisdiction as a possible interstate kidnapping, but dropped the case after two years of following fruitless leads.   After this second official investigation ended, George and Jennie continued their search.   George followed up on many leads on his own including heading to St Louis where a woman claimed Martha was being held in a convent but nothing came of that. Another woman in Texas claimed that she overheard two other patrons making incriminating remarks about a fire that happened on Christmas Eve in West Virginia several years before. Again nothing here proved significant.    At one point George heard that a relative of Jennies who lived in Florida had children that looked exactly like his had. He went down there to check it out and only when the relative was able to prove the children were his that George would leave it alone.         In 1967, George went to the Houston area to investigate another tip. A woman there had written to the family, saying that Louis had revealed his true identity to her one night after having too much to drink. She believed that he and Maurice were both living in Texas somewhere. However, George and his son-in-law, Grover Paxton, were unable to speak with her. Police there were able to help them find the two men she had indicated, but they denied being the missing sons. Paxton said years later that doubts about that denial lingered in George's mind for the rest of his life.   That same year the family would receive something pretty crazy. A photo showed up in the mail one day. The photo showed a man that appeared to be around his early 30s with strikingly similar features as their son Louis had had.    Written on the back of the photo was this:               Louis Sodder I love brother Frankie Ilil boys A90132 or 35   Interesting…. Very interesting.    The photo was in an envelope postmarked central city Kentucky. There was no return address.    The Sodders hired a private detective to go to Central city and try and track down where this letter came from and follow this lead. The private detective headed to Central city and guess what he fucking found….. well no one will ever know because after he left he was never heard from again. He never reported back to the Sodders and they were unable to ever locate him. Did he disappear with their money or was he made to sleep with the fishes?   Unfortunately, this took a pretty heavy toll on George. He said in an interview the following year that the lack of information had been "like hitting a rock wall—we can't go any further". "Time is running out for us", he admitted in another interview around that time. "But we only want to know. If they did die in the fire, we want to be convinced. Otherwise, we want to know what happened to them".   George would pass a year later in 1969 believing that his children were never killed in that fire and they were still out there someplace.    After this the rest of the family would continue to search and publicize the case. The only one that would not get involved was John. John believed that the family should accept what happened and all move on with their lives. Jennie stayed in the family home and built a fence around it and added rooms. She wore black for the mourning for the rest of her life and tended the garden at the site of the former house.    These are basically the facts as we know them. Since there's not much in the way of actual forensic evidence in this case, there's no way of telling for sure what happened as far as the children's bodies being burned. Obviously the investigation was quick, taking only 2 hours, and there wasn't a ton of forensic detective work back then. Plus DNA testing wasn't a thing. And just in general investigating wasn't generally as thorough as it is these days.   The surviving Sodder children, joined by their own children, along with older Fayetteville residents, have theorized that the Sicilian Mafia was trying to extort money from George and the children may have been taken by someone who knew about the planned arson and said they would be safe if they left the house. They were possibly taken back to Italy. If the children had survived all those years and were aware that their parents and siblings had survived too, the family believes, they may have avoided contact in order to keep them from harm.   Sylvia Sodder Paxton, the youngest of the surviving Sodder siblings, died in 2021. She was in the house on the night of the fire, which she said was her earliest memory. "I was the last one of the kids to leave home", she told the Gazette-Mail in 2013. She and her father would stay up late, talking about what might have happened. "I experienced their grief for a long time". She believed that her siblings survived that night, and assisted with efforts to find them and publicize the case. Her daughter said in 2006: "She promised my grandparents she wouldn't let the story die, that she would do everything she could".   George and Jennie passed out flyers and put up a billboard on route 16 in Fayetteville. The Sodders purchased the billboard in 1952. It featured black-and-white photographs of each missing child and an account of the fire with a $5000 reward that was increased to $10,000. It was taken down shortly after Jennie's death in 1989. It read:  “After thirty years, it's not too late to investigate. So what happened to the children if they didn't die in the fire? Well there's a few  theories but nothing solid.   One of the biggest questions is how someone could abduct 5 children with nobody being woken up. Well truecrimefiles.com say of that question:             "One of the most puzzling questions is how the actual alleged abduction took place. How did the kidnapper(s) get the five children out of the house, considering that the eldest sister was asleep on the sofa in the living room and the parents were asleep in a bedroom less than 20 feet away? Surely at least one of the children would have made some noise had a stranger (or even someone known to the family) come into the house and taken them away. There is at least one scenario that may have happened that would solve this specific puzzle. One of the chores the two boys were told to do was to attend to the family's handful of farm animals.”   On a side note, Marion, the oldest daughter, had been working at a dime store in downtown Fayetteville, and she surprised three of her younger sisters—Martha, Jennie, and Betty—with new toys she had bought for them. The younger children were so excited that they asked their mother if they could stay up past what would have been their usual bedtime.   At 10 p.m., Jennie told them they could stay up a little later, as long as the two oldest boys who were still awake, 14-year-old Maurice and his 9-year-old brother Louis, remembered to put the cows in and feed the chickens before going to bed themselves.    ”It is possible that all five of the children left the house to perform these chores (the three girls went along to watch) and were taken once they were outside and away from the house."   But an even bigger question would be why would someone do this. Many people believe that it had to do with George's and his background.    George immigrated from Italy and changed his last name from Soddu to Sodder upon arrival. Nobody really knows why he came to America or the circumstances behind his immigration. He would never discuss the issues and whenever it was brought up he would change the conversation. So that's kind of strange. Also George owned a coal trucking business, and at that time the coal industry was under a lot of pressure from the mafia. That plus his little known about past, have lead many people to speculate about mafia involvement in the crime.    Another theory suggests the kids were abducted by an illegal child-selling agency similar to Georgia Tann's with help from the local police. And remember that insurance guy George argued with, the guy that warned that their house would burn and the children would vanish. He was also a member of the coroner's jury which ruled the fire accidental. Leading many to suspect foul play.   For those of you wondering, For more than 20 years, Georgia Tann ran the Tennessee Children's Home Society, where she and an elaborate network of co-conspirators kidnapped and abused children to sell them off to wealthy adoptive parents at a steep profit. This is too crazy a story to not talk about a little here because if there was a network similar to this operating in that area, it seemed like another plausible theory.    Beulah George "Georgia" Tann was born in 1891 in Philadelphia, Mississippi. Named for her father, a powerful judge, she hoped to follow in his footsteps and practice law. Instead, her domineering father forbade it, and she instead pursued a career in social work — one of the few socially acceptable positions for a woman of her means.   She first went to work in Mississippi, but she was soon fired for inappropriately removing children from impoverished homes without cause. She made her way to Texas, where it's believed she adopted her daughter, June, in 1922. Later, in 1923, she adopted Ann Atwood Hollinsworth, a woman believed to be Tann's longtime same-sex partner. It was common at the time for same-sex couples to use adult adoption as a means of transferring property or inheritances.   Tann then moved on to Memphis, where her father used his political connections to secure a new job for her as executive secretary at the Memphis branch of the Tennessee Children's Home Society in 1922.   By 1929, she had staged a takeover and named herself executive director.   Tann's scheme coincided with a sharp increase in families looking to adopt kids In the 1900s and 1910s, formalized adoptions were fairly rare, but in the 1920s adoption began to be marketed as a shortcut to societal improvement. According to one ad from the National Home Finding Society, adopting would "reduce divorces, banditry, murder, and control births, fill all the churches and do real missionary work at home and abroad, exchanging immigrants for Americans and stopping some of the road leading to war."   At the time, the theory of eugenics — that is, the controlling of the reproduction of genetically "inferior" people through sterilization — was popular. The movement claimed that people of better genetic endowment were subject to greater infertility. It became important in adoption not just to get babies but to get the best babies. A campaign to explain the superiority of adoption was launched.   This new outlook, along with the popularization of baby formula, helped Tann's baby-trafficking business grow. Suddenly, nonnursing mothers could easily and affordably feed their babies. The demand for adoptable infants rose, especially among busy, successful women.   Tann was calculated in her approach and targeted the rich and famous, who paid premium prices for their adopted children. Actors, authors, and entertainers, including Dick Powell and June Allyson, Lana Turner, Pearl S. Buck, Smiley Burnette, and New York Gov. Herbert Lehman, all adopted Tann babies. In 1947, Joan Crawford adopted twins, Cathy and Cindy, from Tann.   Stealing children wasn't a small side business. During the 21 years Tann ran the Children's Home Society, it's believed she made more than $1 million from taking and selling children — about $11 million in today's money. And she didn't do it alone.   Tann's extensive child-trafficking operation required connections, and she quickly linked up with E.H. "Boss" Crump, who ran a powerful Tennessee political machine. Crump offered Tann protections in exchange for kickbacks.   To kidnap and traffic her victims, Tann paid off a network of social workers, police officers, doctors, and lawyers. Some kidnapped children from preschools, churches, and playgrounds for her. Kidnappers preyed on poor children and families who didn't have the means to fight back. Tann's coconspirators were authority figures — people not to be contradicted — so children often went with them willingly. Sometimes, Tann would approach families and offer medical or other help. Tann would tell parents she could get their children into a clinic at no cost, but if they came along as well they'd be charged a large bill.   In the era before internet and with few phones, Tann relied on her network of spotters. They alerted Tann to children on riverbanks, in shantytowns, or walking home from school. She drove up in her big black car and offered them rides.   Tann was also in cahoots with a local judge who helped procure children, specifically from impoverished single or widowed mothers. One of her most high profile coconspirators was Judge Camille Kelley, who presided over the juvenile court in Shelby County, Tennessee, for 30 years.   "She had a stooge down in the welfare department when someone would apply for assistance, this person would get their name, and get in touch with Camille Kelley," Robert Taylor, an investigator, said in a 1992 interview with "60 Minutes."   In 1950, Taylor, a local lawyer, was asked by newly elected Gov. Gordon Browning to do an in-depth investigation into Children's Home Society and Tann. "Camille Kelley would send a deputy out to pick them up and award custody to Georgia Tann," he added.   Tennessee law required children to be adopted in state for a fee of $7, about $75 in today's money. But Tann moved her "merchandise" at $1,000 per head — $10,000 today. When the state finally investigated, the report on the Children's Home Society, the Browning report, found that Tann conducted "private" adoptions and pocketed up to 90% of the fee. She would gouge prospective parents on everything from travel costs, to home visits, and attorney's fees.   The report also detailed how children were then spirited away from the Home Society in the middle of the night to avoid detection by authorities who weren't in the know or others who might ask too many questions. Her "nurses" had regular circuits to New York and California, though she shipped to all US states and Great Britain.   Elaborate backstories were added to stolen children's files to make them more "marketable." Their files said they came from "good homes" with "very attractive" young mothers. Fathers were described as "intelligent" and often in medical school.   Tann also knew how to capitalize on opportunities in the adoption market. Few agencies adopted to Jewish families, and Tann saw her chance. A few pen strokes turned a Southern Baptist child into a baby from a "good Jewish" family. As the Children's Home Society scandal was exposed, the scenario played out in the adoption records over and over again.   If parents, biological or adoptive, asked too many questions about children, Tann threatened to have them arrested or the child removed. She was known for "repossessing" children whose adoptive parents couldn't make full payments on time. And she wasn't above blackmailing customers for more money later.   Often she would return to adoptive parents months later and say relatives of the child had come around asking for a baby's return. But for a hefty fee she had lawyers who could make the situation go away.   Homes for unwed mothers, welfare hospitals, and prisons were targeted. Doctors, working with Tann, told new mothers their babies had died during birth. Those children were "buried" at no cost to the families.   Other mothers were coerced into signing their children away while still under sedation from labor. Tann preyed on women's desperation, their poverty, and their sense of shame.   "If they were unsedated and tried to hold on to the babies after the baby was born, then Georgia Tann would step in and say, 'Well, you don't want people in your home town to know about [your pregnancy], do you?'" Robert Taylor, a lawyer who investigated the Tennessee Children's Home Society scandal for Gov. Gordon Browning, said in his 1992 "60 Minutes" interview.   By the 1930s, as a result of Tann's scam, Memphis had the highest infant mortality rate in the US.   Archives at the Benjamin Hooks Library, in Memphis, reveal some of the cruelties children were subjected to. Babies were kept in sweltering conditions, and some children were drugged to keep them quiet until they were sold. Other children were hung in dark closets, beaten, or put on starvation rations for weeks at a time. Drug addicts and pedophiles were hired to watch over them.   According to "The Baby Thief: The Untold Story of Georgia Tann, the Baby Seller Who Corrupted Adoption," sexual abuse was a common occurrence at the home.   Tann was brutally unsparing in her cruelty. Former Home Society employees revealed to Taylor that if an infant was deemed too weak, it might be left in the sun to die. If a child had a congenital disability or was considered "too ugly" or "old" to be of use, Tann had people get rid of them. Many were buried on the property, though about 20 children were buried in an unmarked plot of land within Elmwood Cemetery in Memphis.   In the 1940s, Tann developed a new publicity stunt.   "They would raffle 20 or 30 babies off every year in the 'Christmas Baby Give Away' in the newspaper," Wingate said. "How did anyone ever think that was all right?"   For $25 a ticket — about $350 today — purchasers could buy as many raffle tickets as they liked.   Tann pocketed thousands of dollars that ticket holders assumed went to the Home Society, and had to give away just a fraction of her "merchandise" in the process.   Tann's baby-selling scheme carried on unabated for over two decades. But in 1949 things took a turn. Tennessee elected a new governor, Gordon Browning. Weakened, E.H. Crump, Tann's crony, lost his hold on Memphis politics.   On September 12, 1950, Gov. Browning held a press conference during which he revealed Tann and her network managed to amass more than $1 million from her child-selling scheme — again, nearly $11 million in today's money.   But Tann was never held accountable. Three days later, she died at home after slipping into a mysterious coma from untreated uterine cancer.   On November 11, 1950, Judge Camille Kelley, who had worked so closely with Tann, quietly resigned. It took until late November or early December to find safe homes for the remaining children. Somewhere in the waning days of 1950, the doors to the Tennessee Children's Home Society were closed for good.   No one was ever prosecuted for their roles in the black-market baby ring.   Holy fuck…. So we know that was a tangent but you got a 2 fer here with that crazy tale, and again the reason we went into the  details on this are because there is speculation that the Sodder children could have been victims of a similar scheme. I mean.. If it happened on that scale in one place who's to say it didn't happen here as well. https://www.ranker.com/list/best-movies-about-kidnapping/ranker-film

Joyce, Proust, Woolf och Eliot präglar modernismens gyllene år 1922. Men allt fokus på detta år har varit skadligt och gjort litteraturen mindre än vad den är, menar litteraturvetaren Paul Tenngart. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Det är ett välkänt faktum att flera av huvudfigurerna under modernismens viktigaste år, 1922, aldrig fick Nobelpriset i litteratur: James Joyce, Marcel Proust och Virginia Woolf alla saknas de på listan över stockholmsprisade världsförfattare. Det är väl egentligen bara T.S. Eliot som både bidrog till de legendariska litterära experimenten 1922 och belönades av Svenska Akademien, även om han fick vänta i tjugofem år efter det att The Waste Land publicerades innan han fick priset 1948.Dessa luckor har gett upphov till stark kritik genom årens lopp, ibland rentav föraktfullt hån. Oförmågan att belöna Joyce, Proust och Woolf har setts som belägg för att Svenska Akademien är en inskränkt och obsolet sammanslutning långt ute eller långt uppe i den kulturella och geografiska periferin som aldrig borde ha fått uppdraget att dela ut världens viktigaste litterära pris.Vem var det då som fick Nobelpriset 1922? Jo, det gick förstås inte till någon modernist, utan till ett av de idag allra mest bortglömda författarskapen i prisets historia, den spanske dramatikern Jacinto Benavente. Benaventes realistiska dramatik förhåller sig på ett direkt sätt till samtidens sociala frågor och strävar efter en naturlig, icke-teatral dialog. Författarskapet ligger med andra ord långt ifrån högmodernismens eruption av formella experiment.Den litteraturhistoria som Nobelpriserna tecknar är en annan än den vanliga. Men det innebär inte att den är felaktig eller destruktiv. Tvärtom: Nobelprisets parallella historia ger ett lika uppfriskande som konstruktivt ja, kanske rentav nödvändigt relativiserande alternativ till den litteraturhistoriska normen.Det är ju faktiskt inte givet att den litteratur som Joyce, Proust, Woolf och Eliot producerade 1922 är bättre än all annan litteratur. Litterära värden är ju knappast naturgivna. Det blir inte minst tydligt när man tittar på vilka Nobelpris som har hyllats och vilka som har kritiserats genom åren. Beslutet att ge schweizaren Carl Spitteler 1919 års pris har i efterhand kritiserats i flera omgångar av internationella bedömare. Men på åttiotalet framstod detta överraskande val som ett av Svenska Akademiens allra bästa. Ett av de pris som de flesta har tyckt om men som enstaka kritiker har fnyst åt är T.S. Eliots. Framtiden kommer att skratta, menade litteraturprofessorn Henri Peyre från Yale University 1951, åt det brist på perspektiv i vår tid som gör att vi uppfattar Eliot som en litterär talang av högsta rang.Den västeuropeiska modernismen med året 1922 som kronologiskt epicentrum har under en lång tid lagt sig som en gigantisk blöt filt över hela den internationella litteraturhistorieskrivningen. Vad som hände under det tidiga 20-talet i Paris och London har blivit en grundmurad norm: då och där skrevs det bästa av det bästa. Aldrig tidigare och aldrig senare har litteraturen varit så modern. Hmm.Som inget annat år i världshistorien har universitetskurser och läroböcker tjatat sönder 1922 och dess litterära utgivning. Denna historieskrivning är inte bara slö och slentrianmässig, den är också ordentligt förminskande av en hel modern världshistoria där det skrivits litteratur på alla platser, på alla språk och i alla genrer.Denna kronologiska normativitet har också med all önskvärd tydlighet hjälpt till att gång på gång bekräfta och upprätthålla den västerländska kulturella hegemonin. Som den franska världslitteraturforskaren Pascale Casanova skriver: Västeuropa och USA har kommit att äga det moderna. Moderniteten har kommit att definieras som västerländsk, och det som definierats som modernt har betraktats som per definition bra. De få texter och författarskap som lyfts in i den moderna världslitteraturen från andra delar av världen har fått sin plats där för att de påminner om fransk, brittisk eller amerikansk modernism.Den här normativa litteraturhistorieskrivningen ger också en väldigt sned uppfattning om hur litteratur existerar i världen, och hur den utvecklas och förändras. Det var ju knappast så att läsarna 1922 hängde på låsen till bokhandlarna för att skaffa Joyces nya 900-sidiga experiment Ulysses och T.S. Eliots notförsedda friversdikt The Waste Land så fort dessa texter anlände från trycket. Nä, 1922 var de flesta läsande människor upptagna med andra författare, till exempel sådana som fick Nobelpriset under den perioden: den franske sedesskildraren Anatole France, den norska författaren till historiska romaner Sigrid Undset eller den italienska skildraren av sardiniskt folkliv Grazia Deledda.Än mer brett tilltalande var den litteratur som prisades på trettiotalet, då många kritiker i efterhand har tyckt att Svenska Akademien borde ha kunnat ha vett och tidskänsla nog att ge de inte helt lättillgängliga modernisterna Paul Valéry eller John Dos Passos priset. Då belönades istället Forsythe-sagans skapare John Galsworthy, då fick Roger Martin du Gard priset för sin stora realistiska romansvit om familjen Thibault, och då belönades Erik Axel Karlfeldt som inte var någon gigant ute i världen, det medges, men mycket omtyckt av många svenska läsare.Det är också under den här tiden som det mest hånade av alla litterära Nobelpris delas ut, till Pearl S. Buck. Men Buck har fått en renässans på senare år. Hon var visserligen från USA, men levde stora delar av sitt liv i Kina och förde med sina lantlivsskildringar in det stora landet i öster i den prisvinnande litteraturen. Och i sin motivering lyfte Nobelkommittéen fram just dessa världsvidgande egenskaper: den amerikanska författarens romaner är avgjort märkliga genom äkthet och rikedom i skildringen och sällsynt kunskap och insikt i en för västerländska läsare föga känd och mycket svårtillgänglig värld. Buck ger inblick i nya kulturella sammanhang, berikar den kulturellt sett högst begränsade västerländska litteraturen med motiv och tematik från en mångtusenårig kultur med en minst lika gedigen litterär tradition som den europeiska.Vad hade hänt om Nobelpriset istället hade gett postuma pris till Rainer Maria Rilke och Marcel Proust, och hunnit belöna Joyce och Woolf innan de dog i början av fyrtiotalet? Rilke, Proust, Joyce och Woolf hade ju knappast kunnat vara större och mer centrala än de redan är. Ingen skillnad där alltså. Men det hade varit mycket svårare för oss att hitta fram till Buck, du Gard, Galsworthy, Deledda, France och till 1922 års stora litterära namn när det begav sig: Jacinto Benavente. Utan pris hade de alla varit helt undanskymda, osynliga, bortglömda. Nu ser vi dem fortfarande, tack vare den alternativa historieskrivning som Nobelprisets löpande och oåterkalleliga kanonisering skapar. Paul Tenngart, litteraturvetare och författareModernismåret 192227.1 Kafka påbörjar "Slottet".2.2 James Joyces "Ulysses" publiceras.Rainer Maria Rilke får feeling.

In this episode Theresa talks about the different types of fear we feel. The first is the type of fear we experience when we or a loved one are in danger. Parents living with children with special needs can experience fear a lot, due to medical, emotional or educational issues that lead to stress and worry. This constant state of fear can be harmful so Theresa talks about some strategies to help mitigate those fears. The second type of fear is the fear we feel when we experience something overwhelming and big, like a new job or a new opportunity. This fear can make us hesitant to step into the greatness and possibility in front of us. Theresa talks about how to recognize those fears that show up and hold us back from moving into our callings and realizing what we are meant to do. Finally, there's a review of Pearl S. Buck's book, The Child Who Never Grew, an autobiography of the famed writer's daughter who lived with developmental disabilities in the early-to-mid 20th century. A beautifully written story, we are reminded of how far we've come in providing services to people with disabilities and helping them realize their great potential.

She is also discusses on the importance of moving in to share in other people's experiences. Listen in!   Social media https://www.linkedin.com/in/nydiahan/ Three factors really compelled me to pursue journalism and first, I've always loved to write. [3:40] My parents instilled in me the importance of a life of service, and I believe strongly that we as journalists really serve our communities. [3:47] Number three, I've always been passionate about justice and particularly racial justice. [3:53] I originally wanted to write long form magazine pieces but then I did an internship at a television station and ended up catching the TV bug. [4:22] I was mesmerized by the power of moving pictures and sound and the immediacy of television news, because this was at a time when you had to wait overnight to get your news and print. [4:31] I was in Pocatello in south eastern Idaho and it was a great learning experience where those things that I learned have really stuck with me and helped me become the journalist that I am today. [5:26] When I'm writing, I am thinking about the pictures that we have, how our editor will be able to piece this together and cover what I'm saying. [7:44] People have no idea how much happens behind the scenes and I have great respect for our producers, editors or photographers. [8:56] Commercial break. [10:12] I have always been a proud Asian American so my mission is to amplify our experience and share what it means to be an Asian American. [12:01] When I was a little girl, very few people looked like me in my neighborhood and I was proud to share the culture and traditions and foods of my ancestors with my friends and people I knew. [12:13] As I got older, I started noticing discrimination and I became able to identify and label racism for what it was. [13:06] My desire to amplify the Asian American experience and change the AAPI stereotype and the ways in which we are very much wrongly perceived really grew. [13:15] My professional work to combat anti Asian hate began when a driver yelled “this is America at me”, and I responded to her in a live Facebook video that went viral. [13:25] That sent me on a path to really speak out and stand up for Asian Americans where I really just wanted to tell stories in the hopes that we can be seen for who we are. [13:53] The anti Asian hate we've seen amid the pandemic has made it crystal clear to the wider public how important this work is. [14:19] This is not just about Asian Americans, it is about how we as humans default to hate anytime we're afraid or uncertain and that really hurts our entire society. [14:31] I think that my response to her taught me something about myself where I also realized that I have some of my own work to do. [15:41] If I'm going to challenge people to look at themselves, I needed to sort of confront some of the biases that I myself have. [15:40] I am so happy with all of the shows and movies and podcasts that are coming out that help us all move in. [18:23] The more we can do to move in to get to know each other's experiences so that we don't see people as generalizations or stereotypes but just as individual human beings. [18:39] This not just about being Asian American, I really try to do this for every group that I think is traditionally unknown or misunderstood. [18:54] A lot of people are familiar with that Martin Luther King Jr. Quote, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. [19:11] In this age we have all these ways to connect yet we seem more disconnected than ever before. [20:40] I just ask people to share their knowledge and share who they are to help others move in.

An author and scholar respected around the world, Pearl S. Buck brought the secrets of pre-modern China to the Western world and did so with compassion and kindness. Fellow Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison once said of Buck, “She misled me...and made me feel that all writers wrote sympathetically, empathetically, honestly and forthrightly about other cultures.” Buck's legacy lives on in her prolific work.
