Better readers make better writers.Today’s students do read—we know that they read a significant amount of email, text messages, web pages, and even magazines. What many do not do is read in a sustained way. Many do not come to college prepared to read long texts, nor do they come with the tools necessary to analyze and synthesize what they read. Nick Delbanco and Alan Cheuse have proven in their own teaching that when you improve students’ ability and interest in reading, you will help them improve their writing.Bringing writers to students, brings students to writing. Craft and Voice is an innovative new Introductory Literature program designed to engage students in the reading of Literature, all with a view to developing their reading, analytical, and written skills. Accompanied by, and integrated with, video interviews of dozens of living authors who are featured in the text, conducted by authors Nick Delbanco and Alan Cheuse specifically for use with their textbook, the book provides a living voice for the literature on the page and creates a link between the student and the authors of great works of literature. The first text of its kind, Craft and Voice offers a more enjoyable and effective reading experience through its fresh, inviting design and accompanying rich video program.
Nicholas Delbanco Libri
La narrativa e la saggistica di Nicholas Delbanco esplorano profondamente le complessità dell'identità, spesso attingendo dalla sua duplice eredità culturale. Le sue narrazioni intrecciano radici europee e un ancoraggio americano, esaminando temi di sradicamento e la ricerca di appartenenza attraverso i continenti. La prosa di Delbanco si distingue per il suo acuto sguardo sulla psiche umana, catturando abilmente le sottili sfumature degli incontri interculturali. Le sue opere testimoniano l'influenza duratura dell'origine e del viaggio nel plasmare la nostra percezione del mondo.
A high-energy romp, the poet's prose memoir recounts his military service in World War I, when a comedy of errors led to his unjust arrest and imprisonment for treason.
