Distinguished Historian Reveals Truths About A Forgotten America In New Critically-Acclaimed Novel

Austin Tang — Thu, 10 Jun 2021 20:12:17 +0000

Listen to “Distinguished Historian Reveals Truths About A Forgotten America In New Critically-Acclaimed Novel” on Spreaker.

Gilbert’s prose style is detailed, voice-driven, and refined. The author quickly establishes a sense of place that becomes increasingly vivid as Gilbert introduces its many distinctive residents. [He] excels in creating memorable characters whose individual stories coalesce to tell a broader literary and historical narrative. In the tradition of Winesburg, Ohio, Gilbert’s Tales of Little Egypt brings small-town America to full life.
–Publishers Weekly Book Life Review
“From the very beginning TALES OF LITTLE EGYPT prepares us for an emotional journey. From a battle-side death bed to the truths of small-town America, this collection of historical short fiction weaves between tales that are at times endearing, at times tragic, but always insightful… A rich collection of short stories offering insight into the collective American past and present.”
— Independent Book Review
A Fulbright Scholar and historian-turned-master-storyteller is at it again in his 15th book, Tales From Little Egypt, a fictional account of life that spans from the Civil War of the 1860s to the Influenza Pandemic of 1918 and World War I. Once a distinguished professor and Fulbright Scholar, James, who also had one of his history books make a New York Times Notable List, takes a historical approach to examining 13 imaginary lives that touched some of the most significant eras of American history.
“Little Egypt was the destination of my childhood summer,” reveals Gilbert. “Those gatherings where family stories were shared would serve as inspiration for the colorful tales I have penned.” Indeed, three generations of his family lived there, and some family members fought on opposite sides of the Civil War.
More About The Book:
Tales of Little Egypt is a fictional account of small-town America and the peculiar, ordinary, eccentric, sturdy, cunning, and contented characters who created it. Set in the years between the Civil War and the great Influenza Plague of 1918, this is a pageant of imaginary people–the narratives of a score of men, women, and children whose lives illustrate the immense changes and challenges of that turbulent era. This was a period of great events and outsized personalities: splendid World’s Fairs attended by millions, radical new inventions, devastating wars and violent revolutions; leaders like Theodore Roosevelt. But underneath were the people whose stories are as fascinating, troubled, compelling and triumphant as anything that has occupied the attention of historians. There was the town doctor, the local sheriff, the jeweler, the self-appointed matron of morality, a young black girl and her mother, a boy who ran off to the circus and many others: lovers, criminals, teachers, ministers, and odd characters. As a community, their lives and ambitions, their failures and tragedies–sometimes at their own making–and their small successes intersected and become a part of each other.
Marion, Illinois is both a real place and the imaginary location for these stories. Set in the center of Little Egypt, Marion is a county seat in the middle of this unique area, a river delta wedged between the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. These two great highways of American immigration and trade sent millions of settlers North and South, East and West and back. The few who stopped off to make it their home created something distinctive. Theirs was a society that reflected the crossroads it occupied and the mix of cultures and sections that it represented. It was both nowhere and everywhere. Therefore, their struggles to make sense of this world exemplify the tale and the memory of modern America in the making.
For Zona Romantica:
“An entertaining mystery with a vibrant setting.”
–Kirkus Reviews
“The dash of romance added to the intrigue and historical references keeps Zona Romantica a thoroughly inviting read, juxtaposing personal and political observations right up to an unexpected conclusion.
Midwest Book Reviews

About The Author: Over the course of his career as a historian, he published 11 history texts, one of which (Perfect Cities) was named a New York Times notable book of the year in 1986. Throughout his career, he has often succumbed to a love of travel made possible by teaching at the University of Paris and Warwick University in England, and with Fulbright Awards, at the University of Sydney, the University of Amsterdam, Erfurt and Tubingen Universities in Germany, and Uppsala University in Sweden, where he was given an honorary Doctoral Degree. Until 2020, he was the Faculty Fulbright Adviser at the University of Maryland. Born in Chicago, Gilbert attended Carleton College and then the University of Wisconsin, earning a doctoral degree in American Intellectual and Cultural History. In 1966, he was hired by the University of Maryland. He was appointed Distinguished University Professor in 1999. While American history has been his profession, literature has been his passion, and since retirement, he has written three novels and a book of short stories. He is also a (very) amateur cellist.

4-H Honors Longstanding Partner Tractor Supply Company at Annual Legacy Awards Gala

editor — Wed, 15 May 2013 16:29:46 +0000

Agriculture pioneer, autism activist Temple Grandin receives 4-H Distinguished Alumni Medallion

This evening, National 4-H Council will hold its annual 4-H Legacy Awards Gala at the Hilton New York in New York City. Now in its fourth year, this special evening of celebration honors the remarkable achievements of individuals and corporations that have made lasting contributions in support of the 7 million 4-H young people around the world. Since its inception, the 4-H Legacy Awards have raised more than $2 million for 4-H programs.

This year, the 4-H Legacy Awards will honor Tractor Supply Company (TSC) with the 4-H Corporate Leadership Award; Temple Grandin, Ph.D. with the 4-H Distinguished Alumni Medallion; and Oklahoma 4-H’er Elisabeth Willis with the 4-H Youth in Action Award.

“4-H makes a significant, positive difference in the lives of young people all around the world. From working to feed a hungry planet, to driving STEM workforce development and improving the health and wellness of youth, their families and their communities, 4-H changes young lives.” said Donald T. Floyd Jr., president and CEO of National 4-H Council. “Our honorees tonight are amazing individuals and corporate partners that help us deliver on this important mission. We will celebrate their remarkable contributions and reflect on all that we have been able to accomplish together.”

Greg Sandfort, president and CEO of Tractor Supply Company, will accept the 4-H Corporate Leadership Award on behalf of the company. The annual award is presented to a corporation or partner that has demonstrated its dedication to 4-H through continued support and engagement. TSC and 4-H share the belief that youth development is vital to the success of our nation. Their investment of more than $3 million has positively impacted young people in more than 1,200 unique communities nationwide.

TSC stores have been investing in 4-H locally for many years, but a national partnership, developed in 2010, launched new semi-annual, in-store Paper Clover fundraisers across the nation in more than 1,200 TSC stores. TSC is helping to fund the various ways that millions of 4-H young people are learning life skills, citizenship and leadership qualities, and ultimately emerging as the future leaders of America.

Temple Grandin, Ph.D. will be presented with the 4-H Distinguished Alumni Medallion. Dr. Grandin is a world famous animal scientist, researcher and professor at Colorado State University. She is known for her revolutionary work in the livestock industry, and as an animal welfare and autism activist. A bestselling author whose life story sparked a self-titled, award-winning HBO biopic, Temple has inspired individuals worldwide. As a New Hampshire 4-H alumna, Dr. Grandin believes that exposing youth to agriculture at an early age will jump start their interest in a variety of future STEM careers.

The 4-H Youth in Action Award will be presented to Elisabeth Willis, an inspiring high-school student from Pittsburg County, Oklahoma who has made a significant impact in her community by single handedly raising $10,000 for the Therapeutic Equestrian Association of McAlester (TEAM)—a non-profit organization dedicated to helping youth and adults access equine therapy. In addition, Elisabeth helped establish a local TEAM 4-H club to raise awareness for the program. In addition to her passion for helping others, Elisabeth has served as an Oklahoma State 4-H Ambassador and through 4-H has learned the power of leadership and personal responsibility.

editor — Wed, 09 May 2012 14:44:18 +0000

One of the world’s most famous, beloved and highly respected cantors, Joseph Malovany has served as the Cantor of New York’s prestigious Fifth Avenue Synagogue since 1973. He holds the academic position of Distinguished Professor of Liturgical Music at Yeshiva University. He also holds the position of Dean of the J.D.C. Moscow Academy of Jewish Music. Born in Tel Aviv, Israel, he served as Cantor at Tel Aviv’s “Bilu” synagogue, as Cantor of the Israeli Army and at synagogues in Johannesburg, South Africa and London, England. Joseph Malovany is the holder of the highest artistic diplomas from the Music Academy in Tel Aviv and From Great Britain’s Royal Academy of Music. He is also a “Fellow” of the Trinity College of Music and has been awarded with many citations and honors from various national and international organizations; among them is the Tel Aviv University’s Award for “Tolerance and Understanding.” He is Honorary President of the Cantorial Council of America and Past Chairman of the Board of the American Society for Jewish Music. In 1997, the Joseph Malovany Chair for Advanced Studies in Jewish Liturgical Music was established, by New York’s Yeshiva University at its Belz School of Jewish Music. He is the founder and President of the World Jewish Music Foundation, dedicated to “Understanding, Tolerance, Religious Freedom and Human Rights –Via music.” In 2002, Cantor Malovany was appointed Honorary Chief Cantor of the City of Vilnius, Lithuania.

In late August 2010, at a ceremony in the prestigious Riga Opera House just preceding his monumental and memorable concert, the title of “honorary chief cantor of the city of Riga” and its Great Synagogue was bestowed on Cantor Malovany. His penetration into the hearts and minds of the people of the Baltics was recognized by the government of Lithuania which issued a special commemorative coin in his honor. In 2002, Cantor Malovany was appointed Honorary Chief Cantor of the City of Vilnius, Lithuania. Previously, Cantor Malovany received the Cross of Merit – Commander of the Legion of Honor, from the President of the Republic of Poland, an honor that is equivalent to knighthood. He also received a “Gold Record” from “Yuval,” Israel’s premiere ensemble of Jewish music, for his contribution to the “World of Jewish Music and the Cantorial Art.” He is the recipient of the prestigious 2007 “International Award for Tolerance” given by the government of Poland in conjunction with “UNESCO’s Day of Tolerance”. In December 2009 Yeshiva University awarded Cantor Malovany with an honorary degree: Doctor of Humane Letters- Honoris Causa. Cantor Malovany is the first cantor ever to receive an honorary doctorate from Yeshiva University.

Joseph Malovany has performed many times as soloist with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. As tenor in Noam Sheriff’s monumental symphony, “Mechaye Hametim” (He Who Revives the Dead), he sang in its premiere with the Israel Philharmonic in Amsterdam in the presence of H.M. Queen Beatrix of Holland. The piece was also performed throughout Europe and Israel with Joseph Malovany as the tenor soloist in each performance. In January 1998 he was the soloist in Philadelphia at the American premiere of this symphony, with the combined orchestra consisting of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and the Philadelphia Orchestra under the baton of Maestro Zubin Mehta. Over 20,000 people attended this event which officially opened the American year-long celebrations commemorating Israel’s Fiftieth Anniversary. In May, 1998, he again performed with the Israel Philharmonic at the memorable concert in Yad-Vashem’s Warsaw Ghetto Square in Jerusalem. He sang to thunderous ovation a Jewish High Holiday prayer at the concluding session of the United Nations International Summit Conference of Religious Leaders for World Peace.

Joseph Malovany possesses a brilliant spinto tenor voice, described by the London Guardian as “most powerful, beautiful and expressive spinto technique…sturdy and heroic” and by the Swedish newspaper Goteborgs Posten as “Judaism’s Jussi Bjorling”. Leonard Bernstein, after hearing him over the Jewish High Holy Days, expressed his hope to hear Cantor Malovany “sing beyond the Altar.” Although he turned down invitations to sing major operatic rolls on the opera stage, Joseph Malovany performs oratorio and symphonic works which require the tenor voice as soloist. His powerful voice has been received with acclaim in Opera Houses, Concert Halls and Synagogues across the world. He has toured extensively in Europe, South America, the United States and Israel. He has sung with many international orchestras including the Israel Philharmonic, The Russian State Symphony, The Moscow Symphony Orchestra, The St. Petersburg Radio Symphony, The Belgium Radio Symphony, The Mexico Symphony, the London Classical, the New York Symphony, the Hungarian State Orchestra and the Romanian Radio and Television Orchestras. He has also appeared with the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, the Bucharest Opera Orchestra, the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra, the Prague Symphony Orchestra, the Colorado Symphony Orchestra and the Memphis Symphony Orchestra. His international appearances also include billings with the Haifa Symphony, the Metropolitan Orchestra, and the Arthur Rubenstein Philharmonic Orchestra in Lodz, Poland, the Wieniawski Philharmonic Orchestra, the Warsaw Chamber Orchestra, the Wroclaw Philharmonic Orchestra, the Brooklyn Philharmonic, the Sao Paulo Symphony Orchestra, the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, and the Israel Chamber Orchestra.

Joseph Malovany, as a representative of world Jewry, has performed at Join Sessions of Congress in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington DC and at many major events on behalf of the State of Israel. He has toured extensively Russia and the former Soviet Union with concerts in Moscow, St. Petersburg – Tallinn Estornia, Tashkent – Uzbekistan, Vilnius – Lithuania and other centers. The year 2005 saw Cantor Malovany sing in two of the most historic events of our time. On January 27th he chanted the memorial prayer for the victims of the Holocaust commemorating the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau at an outdoor ceremony in Auschwitz attended by all European Heads of State, including royalties, presidents, prime ministers, etc. In May he sang in Berlin, Germany a program of liturgical music accompanied by the German-Polish Youth Symphony Orchestra at the ceremony to inaugurate the monument for the Holocaust in that city. He also preformed the memorial prayer at the Warsaw ghetto uprising’s 65^th anniversary in front of the monument attended in Warsaw streets by one million people.

He has performed at Tel Aviv’s Mann Auditorium, Jerusalem’s National Building, Amsterdam’s Royal Opera House, London’s Royal Festival and Queen Elizabeth Halls and Barbican Center, Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher and Alice Tully Halls in New York, the Core State Center in Philadelphia and Brussels Palace of Fine Arts. He also sang in Paris’s music center “Cite de la Musique” in La Villete and the “UNESCO” Hall in Paris, the Gotteborg Philharmonic Hall in Sweden. His Eastern European performances have been staged at Moscow’s famed Tchaikowsky Hall and the Bolshoi Hall of the Conservatory of Music, Budapest’s Philharmonic and Vigado Halls, the Bucharest Opera House, Warsaw’s Philharmonic Hall and The Royal Palace, the Vilnius Opera House and its Fiharmonia Hall, Riga, Latvia’s Opera House, the Prague Rudolfinum Hall and the Prague Castle, the Oslo Philharmonic Hall and Copenhagen’s Tivoli Hall. He also sang in the famed synagogues in Szeged and the “Dohany” in Budapest, Hungary – the Pilszan synagogue in Bohemia and in the “Temple” synagogue of Krakow, Poland, and the Opera House of Skopje, Macedonia with its Philharmonic Orchestra. Joseph Malovany has concertized extensively with performances at Sao Paulo’s Teatro Cultura Artistica, the Herodion Amphitheater near Bethlehem. His performances in Spain include appearances in Toledo and in the opera house of Santander.

Consistent with his deep musicianship, Joseph Malovany is called upon to premiere contemporary works. He sang at the premiere of Israeli composer Andre Hajdu’s cantata “Tz’ror Hachayim” (The Cycle of Life) in New York, Miami and Tel Aviv, and in 1997, Joseph Malovany performed the tenor role in the premieres of Jan Radzinski’s “Shirat Ma’ayan” (The Song of the Well) and Anatoljus Senderovas’s “Sh’ma Yisrael” (Here O’ Israel). In July of the same year he performed in the premier of his own musical composition to the text of Israel’s Declaration of Independence in honor it its fiftieth anniversary that took place in the Knesset (Israel’s Parliament). In May 2010 Joseph Malovany was the featured soloist in the performance of the internationally famous Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki’s Oratorio “Kaddish” conducted by the composer, at the rededication of the Great Synagogue “White Stork” in Wroclaw, Poland.

For many years, Joseph Malovany has sung the Holocaust memorial prayers at the central New York commemorations at Madison Square Garden, attended by the President and Vice President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Israel. His heartfelt memorial prayer was chanted at the memorial service for Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin at the Carnegie Hall in New York.

Joseph Malovany has produced more then 15 compact disks and DVD’s of his performances throughout the world. His hundreds of TV, radio, newspapers and magazines performances and interviews have served to enhance his unique and distinguished reputation as a world authority and a profound exponent and spokesman of his profession and calling.

This tall, statuesque and genuine cantor and singer, brings much dignity, beauty and warmth with his rare quality, crystal-like tenor voice. World leading music critics have hailed his performances as “thrilling”, “profoundly moving”, “unmatched”, “spellbound”, and “warmth with consummate artistry”. One commentator in a local newspaper described Joseph Malovany as “The Jewish Court Singer of New York” and a Toronto newspaper called him “The Pavarotti of the synagogue.”
