The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman

<p>This is a novel in the guise of the tape-recorded recollection of a 110-year-old black woman who was born a slave but who lived to see the black militancy of the 1960s. The secret of this book's success is the characterization of Miss Jane. She is a master of her people's language. But more than that, she is unsurpassed as a storyteller."Ernest Gaines has written a book that comes down on the side of time, on the side of the future." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board) --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition. The Merriam-Webster Encylopedia of LiteratureNovel by Ernest J. Gaines, published in 1971. Set in rural southern Louisiana, the novel spans 100 years of American history--from the early 1860s to the onset of the civil rights movement in the 1960s--in following the life of the elderly Jane Pittman, who witnessed those years. A child at the end of the Civil War, Jane survives a massacre by former Confederate soldiers. She serves as a steadying influence for several black men who work hard to achieve dignity and economic as well as political equality. After the death of her husband, Joe Pittman, Jane becomes a committed Christian and a spiritual guide in her community. Spurred on by the violent death of a young community leader, Jane finally confronts a plantation owner who represents the white power structure to which she has always been subservient. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.</p>

94323 (3 cassettes/4.5 hours). 1994 by Recorded Books, Inc. Unabridges. By Zalata Filipovic. Narrated by Christina Moore. ISBN 0-7887-0083-9. "Written with an innocence and desperation that will move readers of all ages, this international best-seller has touched the conscience of the world. Zlata's Diary stands out as a poignant reminder that war exacts a devastating toll on everyone---including children. Zlata Filipovic began her diary just months before her eleventh birthday in 1991. Peace still reigned in her hometown of Sarajevo, where she lived the carefree life of an innocent schoolgirl. But this life was suddenly shattered in 1992 when gunfire shook through the hills, and the streets of Sarajevo became the barbaric battlegrounds of the Bosnian war. As the onslaught of the war steadily invades her life, Zlata loses loved ones, endures months without decent food or running water, and spends weeks confined to her house as shells rain on the devastated city. Sustained by indomintable courage, she struggles to preserve the remains of her former existence. She learns to play the piano, celebrates special occasions with her closely-knit family---and faithfully records everything in this extraordinary diary. "Sharpens our vision of the tragedy...in the voice of an innocent young girl who can touch and engage our heart."...(New York Times)." [from backcover]
