Paternalism in Poisonwood Bible, Animal Dreams, and Bean Trees

Poisonwood Bible, a dream of animals, and a poetry relationship between the parent 's style of' father 'and' home 'in kidney beans can go back to two words in Latin. Motherland, Vaterland, patrie ... All of these mean that the word "house" is reminiscent of the image of his father. Likewise, the words "patriot" and "patriotism" reflect "patriarch" or grandfather of family and clan. The drafters of the "Declaration of Independence" and "Constitution" were called "Founder" and the first President George Washington was called "The Father of Our Country".

The first novel was a 1988 bean tree, but the poisonous Bible, published ten years later, sent that author to the internationally popular stratosphere. This novel is in line with the family of missionaries in the Congo colony and remains favorite of the book club. When it received the support of the Pulitzer Prize and Oprah, it also killed the privileged position of King Solver as a literary weight and a huge popular writer. "Whenever I write a new novel about dark, bad, terrible things, I think" Oh, Lord, they do not want to go here. " But they do. And in reality it is brave. Due to the courage of the reader, I will never be satisfied with it. "

Barbara Kingsolver is the author of nine best-selling novels including novels, flight behavior, Lakuna, Poisonous Bible, Animal Dreams, Bean Tree, and poetry, prose, creative nonfiction books. The non-fiction works of her story is the most influential selling book "Animals, Vegetables, Miracles: Year of Food Life". Kingsolver's work has been translated into over 20 languages ​​and has won literary awards and faithful readers both domestically and abroad. Through artistic service she received the National Humanities Medal, the highest honor of our country, and the renowned Dayton Literature Peace Prize of her working organization.

As she said, from the fear of crisis Mala's "kidney bean", from the fear of animals to the revolution and anti-revolution of Nicaragua in animal dreams, Kingsolver "reserved a way home for Africa" ​​the poisonous tree bible. But with all her books, her new book is closest to the dream of the animal. They all reflect the full flowering of the Quindlen effect. I started dating the Quindrene effect on December 13, 1992, but other readers may have a favorite moment from Anna Quinn drain 's newspaper career. In December, Quindlen announced a stubborn comment on the Glenridge Sexual Assault Trial. There four male high school students were indicted for sexual assault on a 21 - year - old mentally ill woman.
