Download or read book The Bear written by Andrew Krivak and published by Bellevue Literary Press. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From National Book Award in Fiction finalist Andrew Krivak comes a gorgeous fable of Earth’s last two human inhabitants, and a girl’s journey home In an Edenic future, a girl and her father live close to the land in the shadow of a lone mountain. They possess a few remnants of civilization: some books, a pane of glass, a set of flint and steel, a comb. The father teaches the girl how to fish and hunt, the secrets of the seasons and the stars. He is preparing her for an adulthood in harmony with nature, for they are the last of humankind. But when the girl finds herself alone in an unknown landscape, it is a bear that will lead her back home through a vast wilderness that offers the greatest lessons of all, if she can only learn to listen. A cautionary tale of human fragility, of love and loss, The Bear is a stunning tribute to the beauty of nature’s dominion. Andrew Krivak is the author of two previous novels: The Signal Flame, a Chautauqua Prize finalist, and The Sojourn, a National Book Award finalist and winner of both the Chautauqua Prize and Dayton Literary Peace Prize. He lives with his wife and three children in Somerville, Massachusetts, and Jaffrey, New Hampshire, in the shadow of Mount Monadnock, which inspired much of the landscape in The Bear.

Download or read book What Are Beanie Babies How The Beanie Babies Toyline Became A Global Phenomenon The Different Types Of Beanie Babies That People Can Buy The Reasons Why People Buy Beanie Babies And The Benefits Of Buying Beanie Babies written by Dr. Harrison Sachs and published by The Epic Books Of Dr. Harrison Sachs. This book was released on 2022-12-16 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay sheds light on what are Beanie Babies, explicates how the Beanie Babies toyline became a global phenomenon, demystifies the different types of Beanie Babies that people can buy, reveals the reasons why people buy Beanie Babies, and delineates the benefits of buying Beanie Babies. Succinctly stated, Beanie Babies are deemed to be stuffed toys which are comprised of plastic pellets in lieu of "conventional soft stuffing". As stuffed toys, Beanie Babies are mostly the stuffed toy embodiments of animals. Even though the vast majority of Beanie Babies are the stuffed toy embodiments of animals, certain Beanie Babies are the stuffed toy embodiments of fictitious mythical creatures, such as dragons and unicorns. There also are a copious amount of Beanie Babies that are the stuffed toy embodiments of characters who are derived from popular mass media franchises. There also are an exorbitant amount of Beanie Babies that are the stuffed toy embodiments of anthropomorphic bears. Beanie Babies were released in 1993 and the Beanie Babies toyline become a popular global phenomenon during its advent. Beanie Babies are stuffed toys that are highly distinguishable from most stuffed toys for reasons beyond being comprised of plastic pellets in lieu of "conventional soft stuffing". Beanie Babies not only have a heart-shaped tag attached to them, but also each have a unique birthday that is featured on their corresponding heart-shaped tag. Beanie Babies also each have a unique poem that is featured on their corresponding heart-shaped tag. Beanie Babies also have a second tag attached to them which is a rectangular tag. Beanie Babies are smaller than most stuffed toys and certain Beanie Babies are deemed to be highly desirable collectibles. Certain Beanie Babies are able to metaphorically command exorbitant premium prices on the secondhand market. On September 22nd of 2022, the “Steg the Stegosaurus Beanie Baby” for instance sold for $239.95 on eBay. On October 9th of 2022, the “Royal Blue version” of the “Peanut The Elephant Beanie Baby” sold for $236.40 on eBay. On September 28th of 2022, the “Web The Spider Beanie Baby” sold for $235.65 on eBay. On November 25th of 2022, the “old face cranberry” colored version of the “Teddy The Bear Beanie Baby” sold for $158.60 on eBay. People often grossly underestimate how steep the premium prices on the secondhand market can be for highly desirable collectibles. Beanie Babies can double as collectibles since they are items that Beanie Baby collectors ineffably love to collect. Beanie Babies are also easier to collect than most types of items since they are small, light weight, and soft. Much to the relief of Beanie Baby collectors, a copious amount of the common Beanie Babies can be bought in Beanie Baby lots at low prices per common Beanie Baby on the secondhand market. It can however be extraordinarily expensive to be obtain a complete collection of Beanie Babies as a Beanie Babies collector since there are a myriad of highly desirable Beanie Babies that are able to metaphorically command exorbitant premium prices on the secondhand market. Beanie Babies are far more than just stuffed toys since they cannot only double as collectibles, but can also induce a sense of nostalgia when customers take a gander at them. This is because a plethora of iconic fictitious characters from mass media franchises have been materialized into Beanie Babies and these Beanie Babies are able to remind them of their favorite iconic fictitious characters from popular mass media franchises that they are fond of. There for instance are Beanie Babies of iconic fictitious characters that are derived from the SpongeBob SquarePants franchise, the Shrek franchise, the Ice Age franchise, the Winnie-the-Pooh franchise, the Peanuts franchise, the Avengers franchise, and the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” franchise. Since Beanie Babies are not solely limited to being the stuffed toy embodiments of animals they can appeal to far more people than just people who love animals. Beanie Babies can also appeal to people who are fond of fictitious mythical creatures since certain Beanie Babies are the stuffed toy embodiments of fictitious mythical creatures, such as dragons and unicorns. Beanie Babies can also appeal to people who are fans of mass media franchises since ample iconic fictitious characters from mass media franchises have been materialized into Beanie Babies. Unbeknownst to most people, there are even a multitude of different variations of Beanie Babies of “Garfield The Cat and Scooby-Doo The Dog”.

Download or read book Woven on the Loom of Time written by Enrique Anderson-Imbert and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Argentinian scholar and writer Enrique Anderson-Imbert is familiar to many North American students for his La Literatura de América Latina I and II, which are widely used in college Spanish courses. But Anderson-Imbert is also a noted creative writer, whose use of "magical realism" helped pave the way for such writers as Borges, Cortázar, Sábato, and Ocampo. In this anthology, Carleton Vail and Pamela Edwards-Mondragón have chosen stories from the period 1965 to 1985 to introduce English-speaking readers to the creative work of Enrique Anderson-Imbert. Representative stories from the collections The Cheshire Cat, The Swindler Retires, Madness Plays at Chess, Klein's Bottle, Two Women and One Julián, and The Size of the Witches illustrate Anderson-Imbert's unique style and world view. Many are "short short" stories, which Anderson-Imbert calls casos (instances). The range of subjects and points of view varies widely, challenging such "realities" as time and space, right and wrong, science and religion. In a prologue, Anderson-Imbert tells an imaginary reader, "Each one of my stories is a closed entity, brief because it has caught a single spasm of life in a single leap of fantasy. Only a reading of all my stories will reveal my world-view." The reader asks, "And are you sure that it is worth the trouble?" Anderson-Imbert replies, "No." The unexpected, ironic ending is one of the great pleasures of reading Enrique Anderson-Imbert.

Download or read book Bear written by Wolf D. Storl and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the beginning of human history, bears have been regarded as animals of great power. Ethnobotanist and cultural anthropologist Wolf Storl, who spent years in the wilderness with bears, explores the fascinating relationship between bears and humans, including the history, mythology, healing lore, and biology of this formidable creature. Storl takes the reader from the bear caves of the Neanderthals to the bear-worshipping Siberian tribes of today, from the extinct cave bear to the modern teddy bear. Bears were traditionally seen as a kind of "forest human" under whose shaggy fur a king or a god was hidden, he explains. Vividly illustrating the power of myths and fairy tales to reveal more than scientific treatises about the true nature of beings--especially in the case of bears--Storl restores this magnificent animal to its rightful place at the forefront of the human imagination as well as among the dwellers of the forest.

Download or read book Invisible Companions written by J. Bradley Wigger and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the US to Nepal, author J. Bradley Wigger travels five countries on three continents to hear children describe their invisible friends—one-hundred-year-old robins and blue dogs, dinosaurs and teapots, pretend families and shape-shifting aliens—companions springing from the deep well of childhood imagination. Drawing on these interviews, as well as a new wave of developmental research, he finds a fluid and flexible quality to the imaginative mind that is central to learning, co-operation, and paradoxically, to real-world rationality. Yet Wigger steps beyond psychological territory to explore the religious significance of the kind of mind that develops relationships with invisible beings. Alongside Cinderella the blue dog, Quack-Quack the duck, and Dino the dinosaur are angels, ancestors, spirits, and gods. What he uncovers is a profound capacity in the religious imagination to see through the surface of reality to more than meets the eye. Punctuated throughout by children's colorful drawings of their see-through interlocutors, the book is highly engaging and alternately endearing, moving, and humorous. Not just for parents or for those who work with children, Invisible Companions will appeal to anyone interested in our mind's creative and spiritual possibilities.
