# Peace (novel)

Peace is a 1975 psychological fantasy/ghost story novel by American writer Gene Wolfe. It is the story of a man from a small Midwestern town in the early to mid-20th century, Alden Dennis Weer, who narrates various memories from different parts of his life, including his childhood, early adulthood, and middle to old age.

## Style and interpretations

Unlike a lot of Wolfe's work Peace is a standalone novel set in a somewhat contemporary time and place (as opposed to the future or an imaginary world). Despite this, the story of the novel is one of Wolfe's strangest and most difficult; the narrator's consciousness at times seems to transcend time and space, as if he is narrating from beyond our plane of reality. One interpretation is that the narrator, Weer, is dead, and the scattered memories are those of a ghost; in 2014, Wolfe confirmed that this was his intention. In a 1980 interview, he described the plot of Peace as:
   ...it isn't a plotting book … The basic idea is that a man has died and he is haunting his own mind, his own past. This is something very few people seem to understand about Peace. If you'll notice the opening line of the book is ‘The elm tree planted by Eleanor Bold, the judge's daughter, fell last night.’ And, in the closing chapters of the book, Eleanor Bold comes to him and requests permission to plant an elm on his grave when he dies (she's on a reforestation kick or something) and of course, the old legend is – if there's a tree on a grave, when the tree falls, the falling of the tree releases a ghost on the Earth. In Peace that ghost prowls through his memories throughout the book.
Different critics interpret differently what is actually happening in the novel, and another interpretation is that the memories of his old age are the fantasies of a middle-aged Weer, who is experiencing a nervous breakdown. The novel includes subtle clues to guide the reader's understanding of the story, although the mysteries behind these clues have been hotly debated.
As in many of Wolfe's novels, much of Peace is taken up with stories within stories, particularly stories told to Weer as a child. Many of the key events of the novel are not explicitly narrated, but can be inferred or guessed at based on information in the stories-within-stories.

## Commentary

Wolfe has described Peace as his favorite of his own work, as it is the one where he came closest to achieving his original goals. Neil Gaiman, who has frequently praised the novel, said: "Peace really was a gentle Midwestern memoir the first time I read it. It only became a horror novel on the second or the third reading."

# Mokihana Lives in Hawaii

Mokihana Lives in Hawaii (original title: Mokihana bor på Hawaii) is a book by the Swedish writer Eugénie Söderberg, with photos by Anna Riwkin-Brick. In 1961 the book was published by Rabén & Sjögren in Sweden.

## Plot

Mokihana lives in Hawaii where she has many friends. Originally the children's families came to Hawaii from different countries and cultures, but they all speak English. The friends meet each other almost every day and have many adventures. They are organising a secret birthday party for Anela, who turns ten. Mokihana and her friends are preparing flower wreaths for the party and Mokihana draws a picture of Anela's favourite dog Iki. Anela is surprised because she thought that everyone had forgotten her birthday. Together the friends celebrate her birthday, eat mangos, pineapple, banana, papayas, ice cream, cakes and drink orange juice. In addition, Anela gets chicks in a basket as a birthday present, and she is overjoyed.

## Overview

The book Mokihana is part of the Children's Everywhere series by Anna Riwkin-Brick. It was made in Hawaii. Anna Riwkin-Brick and her sister Eugénie Söderberg lived there for several months. While Riwkin took the photos, Söderberg was responsible for the text. For a picture that appeared in the book, more than a hundred photos were taken.

## Documentary film from Israel

Especially in Israel, the Children's Everywhere series were a great success, which was also based on the translations by the poet Leah Goldberg. In 2017, Israeli director Dvorit Shargal shot a 50-minute documentary entitled Where Is Lilibet the Circus Child and What Happened in Honolulu?. In the film, director Shargal tried to find out what happened to Mokihana after the end of the book.

## Reception

At the time of publication, the book was considered as a school book for educational purposes. It showed how children, whose families were originally from different cultures, play with each other very happily without any prejudices. Rose C. Merenda wrote in the book Day Care and Early Education (1987) that Mokihana Lives in Hawaii is a great story to teach and educate children in schools on Hawaiian life. It is especially important because the students can compare Mokihana's life to their own life. The Moderna Museet in Stockholm presented an exhibition about Anna Riwkin in 2019, which also featured the Children's Everywhere series and Mokihana Lives in Hawaii. This exhibition was called The world beyond my suburb.

# Daniel Remshart Thomas

Daniel Remshart Thomas (August 27, 1843 – April 7, 1915) was an American businessman and city councillor based in Savannah, Georgia. He was an original member of the Sinking Fund Commission, which was established by the City of Savannah in 1878 aimed at retiring general bond issues. He served on the city council for almost fourteen years.

## Life and career

Thomas was born in 1843, to John T. Thomas and Jane Ann Remshart. As a child, he had "a delicate constitution and imperfect sight".
In 1862, during the Civil War, he enlisted in Company G (Tattnall Guards), First Volunteer Regiment of Georgia. Due to ill-health, he was assigned to district headquarters and the war tax office. He performed his duties there "with such exactness and efficiency" that he was given the highest commendation.
After the war, he relocated to Macon, Georgia, where he worked as an insurance agent. He returned to his hometown in 1866, and went into the commission, fertilizer and coal business with Captain Daniel Gugel Purse Sr. Three years later, the two men built a duplex, now known as the Thomas-Purse Duplex, of which the western half is now known as the Thomas-Levy House, with Purse owning number 14 next door. Thomas lived at number 12 with his wife. His family later moved to another duplex, the Abraham Smith & Herman Traub building at 210 East Gaston Street. The firm of Purse & Thomas was dissolved in December 1878, and Thomas continued in the coal trade.
He married Jeanne Marie Estelle Manget in 1867. They had two children.
His sight having become very impaired, Thomas sought the help of an oculist and an optician, who together provided him with sufficient relief and greatly changed his life.
In 1878, he became an original member of the Sinking Fund Commission, which was established by the City of Savannah. He served as its secretary until January 1883, when he resigned and became an alderman. He was in that role, on the city council, for six years, at which point he returned to his role as secretary of the Sinking Fund Commission.
Thomas made an unsuccessful bid to become mayor of Savannah in 1889.
He formed a partnership, D. R. Thomas & Son, with his son, John Murchison Thomas, in 1892.
In 1898, he served again on the city council, during which he was on the special committee to build Savannah City Hall. He was also a member of Savannah's Sanitary Commission, which studied the city's sewerage and house drainage. He retired from the role in December 1905. The city, in appreciation of his services, named Thomas Park in his honor. He retired from all business in 1910.
