Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Goethe called colour the deeds and sufferings of the light – victorious deeds when it pierces matter, and suffering when it endures the darkness in matter. Indeed, there is no greater contrast in the whole cosmos than that between matter and light.’ Having spent time in the Arctic Circle in Lapland – where, with the sky filled in a flood of colour, the midnight sun shines for weeks, and the long polar night is brightened by the shining northern lights – the author was left with unforgettable memories. Thinking through these experiences led to this short but penetrating work, a study of the pathways and metamorphoses of light from a global perspective. The essence of light is to shine – it rays out dynamically in all directions at an unimaginable speed, never resting. The nature of matter, in contrast, is heavy, static and condensed. But matter can also let light through, as with crystal, or in the transparent and flowing element of water, evaporation and even air. Water and air thus act as ‘mercurial’ factors, allowing the creative potential of light to appear in a diversity of colours. The ‘deeds and sufferings of light’ are further to be found in many phenomena of the inorganic world such as the northern lights. By seeing the laws within phenomena, Goethe approached an understanding of the etheric formative forces. The object of this book is the observation of nature’s natural wonders using Goethe’s methodical process. Apart from the rainbows, lightning and northern lights in the title, the author discusses the blue of the sky, the colours of twilight and the dewdrop, and halos and other light phenomena. The power of imagination produced by the observer creates depth and inwardness, says the author. In such a state of consciousness, one’s inner eye can picture ‘a threefold global union of light, which speaks to a threefold organization of the Earth’. Bühler’s concentrated work will inspire readers to make their own observations of the optical phenomena in our atmosphere, learning anew to treasure our planet for what it is – a human-scale home for which we are all responsible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barbie And The Magic Of Pegasus Summary: In a world where the sky is filled with soft, beautiful clouds, Barbie is in the middle of an exciting journey. This amazing journey starts with a single golden feather, which leads Barbie to the Pegasus and sets them on a road to fight a dangerous enemy that looms over the land. A horrible wizard with cold, cruel power put Barbie's sister under a horrible stone spell that won't break. It's wintered all the time in the kingdom. Along with saving her sister, Barbie and the Magic Pegasus set out to make the world warm and bright again. It's magical and interesting creatures that Barbie meets as she goes through ethereal forests full of reflections, up bright crystal mountains, and down into the depths of magical lakes. Barbie learns how to be brave, kind, and have an unbreakable heart from every trip and challenge she faces. There are many risks on the way, like having to get Barbie out from under the evil wizard's icy chains and solve puzzles that test her spirit. Still, Barbie learns an undeniable truth through these trials: the most powerful magic is inside, not in mysterious places or old riches. The story is a tapestry of bravery and friendship that builds up to a terrible fight where Barbie's most powerful tool is love. With the Wand of Light in her hand, she breaks the spell that has frozen her sister and the country. In times of trouble, the victory is a celebration of the ties that keep us together and a testament to the strength of the human heart. As the Magic Pegasus flies back into the sky, Barbie and her sister stand together. The Pegasus is a symbol of freedom and hope, and it always serves as a reminder that good can win even in the worst conditions. Because Barbie is brave and friends are strong, the kingdom is going through a beautiful rebirth as spring comes. This story takes place in a magical world and shows us that anyone can do great things if they are driven by love, bravery, and the idea that magic is inside everyone. Chapter 1: A Surprising Find One time, Barbie found something very interesting in a yard full of flowers of all different colors. When the sun came up early in the morning and lit up the farmland with its golden glow, the dewdrops on the petals sparkled like tiny pearls. As Barbie walked around the yard and enjoyed its beauty, she noticed something strange lying on the path. It looked like a feather, but not like most leaves. This one gave off a soft, magical light that made it look like it was alive and beating. Barbie was amazed and interested as she bent down to pick up the feather. The feather sparkled as soon as she touched it, making her fingers feel warm and tingly. Barbie knew right away that this feather was different from all the others. It meant that an exciting journey was about to begin. Barbie kept walking into the yard with the feather in her hand. A soft murmur in the wind seemed to call her name. She found her way to a secret, old part of the garden she had never been to before thanks to the plants and flowers that moved and whispered secrets. A winged horse with eyes as clear as the sky and a coat as white as snow stood there in an opening filled with sunlight. It was the most amazing sight Barbie had ever seen. This is what the Magic Pegasus was. The Magic Pegasus had a beautiful and wise aura around it. To Barbie, he told her that he was from a faraway world full of magic and flowers that filled the air with a sweet scent. But that kingdom was in a lot of trouble now. A bad wizard named Wenlock cast a powerful spell that turned the world from a beautiful place to a place where winter never ends. The rivers had frozen over, the flowers were no longer blooming, and everyone had stopped laughing. The Pegasus told Barbie that he could find her because the beautiful feather had magically linked her yard to his world. Barbie was needed by the Magic Pegasus. He thought that Wenlock could only free the kingdom from her cold control if she showed how brave and kind she was. Barbie had a sudden desire to do something. She knew she had to help Pegasus and the people who worked for him. She told the horse with wings that she would do anything to break the curse and make the land happy and warm. The Magic Pegasus takes Barbie on an adventure. With the help of the light feather, they flew over mountains and rivers to get to the beautiful area. Barbie felt like the feather was around them to protect them, and she was sure that this was the start of an amazing trip. Barbie learned that the world was full of mysteries and wonders that could be solved as they went. She also learned that being brave and kind can work amazing magic on their own. She knew that their journey would be full of friendship, bravery, and the magic that comes from believing in the goodness in everyone, so she was ready to face any problems that came her way with Pegasus by her side. Chapter 2: The Curse of the Wizard. Over the land, a shade fell. In that world, magic moved through the air like a soft spring breeze. This shadow was thrown by the evil wizard Wenlock, whose heart was as cold as the stone towers of his sad castle. Wenlock was jealous of the happiness and love that the people of the kingdom were experiencing, so he chose to cause trouble and fear to show that he was the best. He turned Barbie's sister from a lively, happy girl into a stone-like figure with one flick of his bent staff. The kingdom was happy until this terrible behavior ended it. There was such a hush that even the birds seemed to have stopped singing. Barbie was in so much pain after hearing about her sister's death that it almost killed her. But a spark of hope lit inside her, and the sadness went away. She knew she had to stop Wenlock from being mean. An old, beautiful, and wise owl came to see Barbie and told her a secret that not many people knew: the Wand of Light was a magical artifact that could break curses, heal wounds, and bring light to the darkest parts of the world. The Wand of Light was kept in a place that only good people could get to. It was protected from bad people by forces that no one could explain. Barbie knew that she had to find the Wand of Light to save her sister and make the whole world happy. The road would not be easy, though. The owl made it clear that the wand was protected by challenges that would test Barbie's bravery, kindness, and intelligence. At every turn of the path, she would have to trust both the magic around her and the magic inside her. Barbie understood how important her job was and got ready to leave as soon as it got light. She turned around to face her sister and swore she would come back with the power to break the spell. The first rays of dawn lit up Barbie's path, and she set out on her trip with as much determination as the sun itself. She went through forests with trees that spoke secrets and over mountains that touched the sky. Barbie had to deal with problems along the way that made her heart and spirit weak. She got stronger and surer of the world's goodness and magic as she went along, though. Barbie searched for the Wand of Light by going to the highest hills and deepest valleys. She saw places where the earth's natural beauty seemed to have not changed over time. She met magical beings that could tell she was good and helped her on her quest by keeping her safe and giving her advice. Even though Wenlock's curse was over Barbie, her light never went out. Barbie learned on her journey that the most powerful thing is not magic or spells, but the love and courage that someone has inside them. Finally, she stood in front of the Wand of Light. Its brightness stood out like a beacon in the dark, and she knew that love could break any spell. Barbie went back to her sister with the Wand of Light, ready to fight Wenlock's evil with all her might because she knew that family is stronger than any wizard spell.

Download or read book Figures of the Imagination written by Roger Hansford and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new study of the intersection of romance novels with vocal music records a society on the cusp of modernisation, with a printing industry emerging to serve people’s growing appetites for entertainment amidst their changing views of religion and the occult. No mere diversion, fiction was integral to musical culture and together both art forms reveal key intellectual currents that circulated in the early nineteenth-century British home and were shared by many consumers. Roger Hansford explores relationships between music produced in the early 1800s for domestic consumption and the fictional genre of romance, offering a new view of romanticism in British print culture. He surveys romance novels by Ann Radcliffe, Matthew Lewis, Sir Walter Scott, James Hogg, Edward Bulwer and Charles Kingsley in the period 1790–1850, interrogating the ways that music served to create mood and atmosphere, enlivened social scenes and contributed to plot developments. He explores the connections between musical scenes in romance fiction and the domestic song literature, treating both types of source and their intersection as examples of material culture. Hansford’s intersectional reading revolves around a series of imaginative figures – including the minstrel, fairies, mermaids, ghosts, and witches, and Christians engaged both in virtue and vice – the identities of which remained consistent as influence passed between the art forms. While romance authors quoted song lyrics and included musical descriptions and characters, their novels recorded and modelled the performance of songs by the middle and upper classes, influencing the work of composers and the actions of performers who read romance fiction.

Download or read book I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings written by Maya Angelou and published by Random House. This book was released on 2010-07-21 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a book as joyous and painful, as mysterious and memorable, as childhood itself. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings captures the longing of lonely children, the brute insult of bigotry, and the wonder of words that can make the world right. Maya Angelou’s debut memoir is a modern American classic beloved worldwide. Sent by their mother to live with their devout, self-sufficient grandmother in a small Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of abandonment and the prejudice of the local “powhitetrash.” At eight years old and back at her mother’s side in St. Louis, Maya is attacked by a man many times her age—and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime. Years later, in San Francisco, Maya learns that love for herself, the kindness of others, her own strong spirit, and the ideas of great authors (“I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare”) will allow her to be free instead of imprisoned. Poetic and powerful, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings will touch hearts and change minds for as long as people read. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings liberates the reader into life simply because Maya Angelou confronts her own life with such a moving wonder, such a luminous dignity.”—James Baldwin From the Paperback edition.
