Roark Bradford (1896 - 1948) was an American short-story writer and novelist. His novelistic version of John Henry popularized the folklore legend of the African-American railroad worker beyond railroad and mining and Black communities. According to the publisher's bio of Bradford in the rear of this edition, Bradford is "amply qualified to write about the Negro. He was born on a plantation near the Mississippi River, fifteen miles from the railroad. He had a Negro for a nurse. He has seen them at work in the fields." Today, subject to contemporary criticism, Bradford's treatment of John Henry is seen as racial trope, no matter how high his intentions. Tipped-in to the front pastedown is a five paragraph TLS , dated July 18, 1932, Santa Fe, New Mexico from author Bradford to George E. Creel (1876 -1953). Creel, an investigative journalist, writer, politician and government official, served as head of the United States Committee on Public Information (CPI), the propaganda organization created by President Woodrow Wilson during World War I. The letter is in apparent response to Creel's solicitation of support for Franklin Roosevelt's candidacy for President. Creel's solicitation of Bradford was logical: Bradford had literary credibility and celebrity (a stage adaptation of an earlier novel had won a Pulitzer Prize), plus he had served in the Army during the Armistice (Creel' being head of the CPI would presumably carry weight with Bradford). Bradford's response in the summer of 1932 as the Great Depression was peaking is enthusiastically affirmative. He writes of a "triple incentive" to support FDR: the Bradford family are faithful Democrats, he personally admires Roosevelt and he loathes Herbert Hoover who would be "an ideal secretary for a Chamber of Commerce in, say, Evanston, Illinois." He pledges his support, noting that FDR as President should be such an obvious propositon that "an organized movement would be unnecessary" but, then again, "just eight years ago the great American people turned down a man like John W. Davis and selected Calvin Coolidge". (Davis was the Democratic Presidential candidate in 1924.) Besides some obvious parallels to the 2020 election (depending on one's political view), the letter is an exemplar of the pre-social media, old fashioned politicking that transacted on personal appeal by correspondence among the country's literati and public opinion leaders. After FDR's win, Creel, who lived in San Francisco, chaired the Regional Labor Board for California, Utah and Nevada, but eventually became disenchanted with some aspects of The New Deal. He ran in the 1934 California Democratic gubernatorial primary and was defeated to the left by novelistUpton Sinclair, who lost in the general election. Creel retired from Collier's magazine where he was an editor in the late 1940s. Bradford's first book, Ol' Man Adam and his Chillun (1928) was adapted for the stage by Marc Connelly as The Green Pastures, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1930. Bradford adapted John Henry for the New York stage in 1940 as a musical, with Paul Robeson in the title role.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. He died saving children just moments after carrying out the operation that shattered the modern world.Instead of death, he awakens in a land at war.Thrown into the defense of a frontier fortress on the verge of collapse, Fragarach turns certain defeat into slaughter and earns the attention of soldiers, nobles, priests, and enemies that should not exist. With only the voice of an advanced intelligence still living in his mind, he must navigate a world of prophecy, siege warfare, political maneuvering, and monsters known as the Fallen.But victory comes at a cost.In Dunur, Fragarach is more than a stranger-he is a weapon no one understands, a symbol no one agrees on, and a threat to the order that has ruled unchecked for generations. As war spreads and tensions inside the walls grow sharper, he is drawn into conflicts of faith, power, and survival that reach far beyond the battlefield. Every triumph deepens suspicion. Every secret uncovered makes the stakes worse.And the truth behind the war is darker than anyone knows.As enemy armies close in and old lies begin to crack, Fragarach and those closest to him uncover a hidden design behind generations of suffering-one tied not only to conquest, but to bloodlines, history, and the slow corruption of an entire world.Exiled to Purgatory: Book One - Where the Fallen Burn is a dark military fantasy of siege warfare, prophecy, political tension, and violent reinvention.Perfect for readers who enjoy grim war fantasy, brutal battlefield stakes, hard-edged protagonists, and epic conflicts shaped as much by faith and power as by steel and fire.
