![]() The play has been adapted into an HBO 2003 miniseries of the same title. The two parts of the play are separately presentable and entitled Millennium Approaches and Perestroika, respectively. Initially and primarily focusing on a gay couple in Manhattan, the play also has several other storylines, some of which occasionally intersect. The play contains multiple roles for several of the actors. Certain major and minor characters are supernatural beings (angels) or deceased persons (ghosts). The play is a complex, often metaphorical, and at times symbolic examination of AIDS and homosexuality in America in the 1980s. Part one of the play premiered in 1991 and its Broadway opening was in 1993. The work won numerous awards, including the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the Tony Award for Best Play, and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Play. ![]() If you have a photograph or picture that illustrates this production,Īngels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes is a two-part play by American playwright Tony Kushner. ![]() ![]() ![]() |a Colors |0 |v Folklore |0 |v Juvenile literature. |a Vision quests |0 |v Folklore |0 |v Juvenile literature. ![]() |a Indians of North America |z Great Plains |v Folklore. |a Little Gopher follows his destiny, as revealed in a Dream-Vision, of becoming an artist for his people and eventually is able to bring the colors of the sunset down to the earth. |a Around the world with historical fiction and folktales : highly recommended and award-winning books, grades K-8 by Beth Bartleson Zarion (2004) ![]() |a 36 unnumbered pages : |b color illustrations |c 26 cm |a The legend of the Indian paintbrush / |c retold and illustrated by Tomie dePaola. |a UUS |b eng |c UUS |d TCA |d OCL |d THM |d OCLCQ |d XY4 |d T3G |d OCLCQ |d ZP2 |d OCLCF |d OCLCO ![]() ![]() ![]() The discovery of gold in the Yukon resulted in an influx of people, among them, young Tom Venn and his foster mother, Missy Peckham. ![]() In 1867, the Russians sold Alaska to the United States for over seven million dollars. The ships visited the various native settlements. Ships from other nations began to arrive and trade with the natives as the Russians began to establish cities on Alaska. The Russians imposed harsh conditions on the natives, often slaughtering many of them in order to obtain the expensive pelts. Michener examines how the Russians expanded into Alaska in response to the lucrative fur trade. Conditions were harsh but the people survived, as did the animals. Michener describes how animal and plant life occurred in the area and how the three basic groups of natives arrived. Written in the typical Michener style, the book begins with the geological formation of the Alaskan land mass. Thus begins the novel, Alaska, by James Michener. Some sea life was moving onto land at this time. ![]() In winter, the sun remained low in the sky for six months while summer temperatures could reach 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

His companion, Rima, says: “I like you, Lanark, and of course I depend on you, but you aren’t very inspiring, are you?” Despite, or because of, this deficiency he is a strange and screwed up individual. For the ‘hero’ of such an ambitious book, he’s surprisingly lacking in any real character. The life in question is that of Duncan Thaw/Lanark (again, I’ll not ruin it for you).
