Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. More than 30 years ago I found the Diaries of Harriet E. Wagner inside a false bottom of an old trunk lying forgotten in an enclosed garage in her house at Sea View Street in the Condado area, San Juan, Puerto Rico, just like many others diaries that have been found in dusty attics and betw…een walls. Along with the diaries were also most treasured possessions, letters, photographs, personal notes and other remembrances of her life. If someone asks me, "It's there a plot in this work?" I will have to respond that this is a recount of a very romantic and ahead of her times woman, about her life and the events that took place in the tropics, in the island of Puerto Rico during the 1920's to 1940's. And that in order to explain and understand it, there is no other way except thru the stories within the story found in her diaries ceaselessly intertwined with the narrative. The characters are real, not dreamed or imagined, and the interconnectedness and intentions, incidents, episodes, and actions taken by the characters revolve in dense and seemingly chaotic texts, as dreams. Texts that represent themselves projecting as inhabited by energies, which ultimately evokes images of desires, which corresponds to the arousals, expectations, suspense, reversals, revaluations, disappointments, embarrassments, fulfillments, and even the incoherence's animated by the reader itself. Repetition is clearly a major operative principle of the story, shaping energy, giving a perspective form, a binding agent for the creation of cohesion - allowing the reader by logic set in motion the plot, and find out whose acts can or not be premeditated, based on a conception of the self which structures and gives meaning to the story itself. On August 27, 1926 she writes, "Elected to Porto Rico today grammar grade (upper English) at only $1,125." Seriously thinking on embarking she took the opportunity to ask various newspapers to serve as a freelance correspondent among them the Herald Tribune. As the date for her departure came close she writes, "Happiness and yet I cannot say I'm really sad. Life adds so little and so much! Turned down Porto Rico for the family's sake, Glen, and because of the grade work and past salary. Want to laugh and cry. Should be happy after this vacation. Instead I smile cynically and strive with Orpheus's hands to take hold Eurydice (last year's hopeful philosophy). What the winters bring? Shall put aside diary writing for real writing of newspaper and magazine stories? One can't be utterly conquered at twenty four!" Finally on September 24 or 25 1926 as she jot its down says, "Porto Rico. How can I put it into words these first days? Never in my life have I been such a victim of anything. When people spoke of the sensuousness of the tropics I had no idea what they meant. Now I know. I am so glad, glad, and glad now for my German stability. For I need a bracing something to keep me from the things I always said I'd never do." She was selected with a group of people to come to Puerto Rico to teach on grade school. During those times throughout the island the school system was going thru various changes as the appointees by the president of the United States to the Department of Education were making their efforts to maintain the English language as the primary language of teaching. In the capital San Juan the Central High School was the school for the daughters and sons of the prominent families of the island. She writes, "I am in turmoil over Porto Rico. Hate to leave my dear Mommy, but crave adventure. Sometimes I hate Youth. It leads one to such foolish things and yet so marvelous. One can think anything, be anything, can do anything. I have come to this island to teach school but I have become the most interested pupil". Carlos A. Laster Jr, believes he was chosen by Harriet Wagner herself to discover her w Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. More than 30 years ago I found the Diaries of Harriet E. Wagner inside a false bottom of an old trunk lying forgotten in an enclosed garage in her house at Sea View Street in the Condado area, San Juan, Puerto Rico, just like many others diaries that have been found in dusty attics and betw…een walls. Along with the diaries were also most treasured possessions, letters, photographs, personal notes and other remembrances of her life. It is usually considered reading a diary an invasion of privacy, especially without the permission of the author, but once the diarist is gone, such reading offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of someone we have never met. Harriet diaries reveal - not an old person looking back, in a memoir, but a young one looking at the present, and with an entire life ahead. Most of the diaries setting are in the tropical enchanted island of Puerto Rico, there the places she went, the people she met, the historical events that she witness, the scandals around her life that became published news, the falling in love with a married man, her great human experience of Love and Lust in the tropics, her international publishing career, her poetry, and her nights of bohemianism is all a True Story thru the pages of her diaries and we can join them in the immediacy of each these experiences.Harriet E. Wagner is long gone, and I think there is no more fitting tribute than to publish her diaries written in the flush of youth and on the edge of our history. This book is her diary as she wrote each volume describing her life and times on the island of Puerto Rico during the American government administration. In addition to keeping a diary, Harriet Wagner was also a prolific writer in her day. She published articles and poetry in well-known newspapers and magazines like The Herald Tribune, Vanity Fair, Vogue, Travel and The American Woman Poets magazine to name a few. Writing poetry is all about inspiration and her combining of poetry and narrative will draw the reader into Miss Wagner's world with the notion that they are actually experiencing and feeling what she went through.The diaries provide insights into the life of the Americans in Puerto Rico in the late 20's and 30's as seen through her eyes. Harriet shares her experiences with the local people, from the street vendor to the Chief of Police, a very famous architect, a Naval Commander, from federal agents to famous poets. She projects her philosophical point of view of life and how she took all the advantage possible to live her life and enjoy all kinds of experiences and give love to those who needed it. Puerto Rico is a very magical place close to the Bermuda Triangle while it's shores are constantly bathe and cares by the Caribbean Ocean. Still today can make anyone feel the sensuousness of the tropics. The book expresses all without holding anything, including the fact that she knew one day someone would find her diaries and publishes them for the world to know about, including her great love for Bill and Puerto Rico, like she wanted to do. And with that I, Carlos A. Laster, selected by Harriet Wagner herself as I believe to be the one to discover her works, and commissioned to publish her literary work, present to you "LOVE AND LUST / THE SENSUOUSNESS OF THE TROPICS / The Diaries of Harriet E. Wagner. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
