Download or read book I Am the Most Interesting Book of All written by Marie Bashkirtseff and published by Chronicle Books (CA). This book was released on 1997 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marie Bashkirtseff's diary is one of the great journals of all time: a Russian girl, transplanted to France, begins a little diary at the age of fourteen. Eleven years later, upon her death, she has written thousands and thousands of pages, creating an obsessively detailed monument to her own life. "...because I hope that I will be read...I am absolutely sincere. If this hook is not the exact, absolute, strict truth, it has no reason to be". But Bashkirtseff was betrayed by her own family. The diary, published posthumously in 1887, was expurgated, sanitized, and denuded. Marie's mother made sure that none of her daughter's more radical opinions - and more importantly, their strange family history - appeared in the diary's pages. Even so, it was hailed as the true portrait of a woman by the French press, and Bashkirtseff was alternately canonized as a misunderstood genius and damned as a self-absorbed misfit. Now, in this new translation, Phyllis Howard Kernberger has returned to the original text - Marie's notebooks, held in the Bibliotheque Nationale. Her scrupulous, decades-long research has unearthed the true self-portrait that Marie Bashkirtseff hoped to reveal. Marie was enraptured with her own beauty, enraged by the constraints of society (especially for women), and determined to achieve success and fame at any cost, and her diary is a vivid portrait of a free-thinking woman born before her time. Working straight from the source, Kernberger has revived the honest image of Marie - in a seductively funny, warmly personal, and thoroughly mesmerizing account of a life lived to its fullest.

Helpful features include Scripture references relevant to common problems, case studies, vignettes, professional resource lists, client resource lists, in-session exercises, homework exercises, and handouts. The Christian Therapist’s Notebook bases its success on three foundations: the truth of scripture; the centrality of Christ; and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The book’s three sections include individuals, couples and families, and children and adolescents. Each chapter focuses on a single exercise to address an important issue that may be affecting the client. Chapters provide a guiding Scripture quote, an objective, rationale for use, clear and specific instructions, suggestions for a follow-up, a vignette illustrating the exercise’s success, contraindications, extensive resources, and related Scriptures. The Christian Therapist’s Notebook exercises include: “A New Creation,” which uses a Christogram to personalize the Biblical promises and truths of the spiritual transformation “Snapshots,” which reveals repetitive behavior patterns in relationships “Core Connections,” which helps the client explore the organization of relational core connections to other people as well as to God “Temptation Judo,” which explores the connection between temptation and needs while uncovering God’s promise of escape “Broken Mirrors,” which identifies unresolved issues affecting self-image and moves the client to a personal relationship with God “The Book of My Life,” which helps identify situations and people that have had an impact on clients, while helping them to acknowledge that God has a plan for them “Tearing Down Strongholds,” which helps take the client through the process of repentance “It Was Wrong,” which helps abuse victims deal with pain and frustration “Bowing Down,” which helps to restore a healthy relationship “Panic Breaker,” which helps get to the root of client fears “Parenting after Divorce” “Self-esteem,” which helps children with self-concept and many, many more!

Download or read book Savage Shorthand written by Jerome Charyn and published by Random House. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed as the first great Soviet writer, Isaac Babel was at once a product and a victim of violent revolution. In tales of Cossack marauders and flashy Odessa gangsters, he perfectly captured the raw, edgy mood of the first years of the Russian Revolution. Masked, reckless, impassioned, charismatic, Babel himself was as fascinating as the characters he created. At last, in renowned author Jerome Charyn, Babel has a portraitist worthy of his quicksilver genius. Though it traces the arc of Babel’s charmed life and mysterious death, Savage Shorthand bursts the confines of straight biography to become a meditation on the pleasures, torments, and meanings of Babel’s art. Even in childhood, Babel seemed destined to leave a mark. But it was only when his mentor, Maxim Gorky, ordered him to go out into the world of revolutionary Russia that Babel found his true voice and subject. His tales of the bandit king Benya Krik and the brutal raids of the Red Cavalry electrified Moscow. Overnight, Babel was a celebrity, with throngs of admirers and a train of lovers. But with the rise of Stalin, Babel became a living ghost. Charyn brilliantly evokes the paranoid shadowland of the first wave of Stalin’s terror, when agents of the Cheka snuffed out artists like candle flames. Charyn’s chilling account of the circumstances of Babel’s death–hidden and lied about for decades by Stalin’s agents–finally sets the record straight. For Jerome Charyn, Babel is the writer who epitomizes the vibrancy, violence, and tragedy of literature in the twentieth century. In Savage Shorthand, Charyn has turned his own lifelong obsession with Babel into a dazzling and original literary work.

Download or read book Spawn written by Marie-Andrée Gill and published by Literature in Translation. This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spawn is a braided collection of brief, untitled poems, a coming-of-age lyric set in the Mashteuiatsh reserve on the shores of Lake Piekuakami (Saint-Jean) in Quebec. Undeniably political, Marie-Andr e Gill's poems ask: How can one reclaim a narrative that has been confiscated and distorted by colonizers? The poet's young avatar reaches new levels on Nintendo, stays up too late online, wakes to her period on class photo day, and carves her lovers' names into every surface imaginable. Encompassing twenty-first-century imperialism, coercive assimilation, and 90s-kid culture, the collection is threaded with the speaker's desires, her searching: for fresh water to "take the edge off," for a "habitable word," for sex. For her "true north"--her voice and her identity. Like the life cycle of the ouananiche that frames this collection, the speaker's journey is cyclical; immersed in teenage moments of confusion and life on the reserve, she retraces her scars to let in what light she can, and perhaps in the end discover what to "make of herself". Praise for Spawn "Like the image of time that passes too quickly, or not quickly enough, between frozen lake and beacon of hope, Gill's poetry wonderfully translates the struggles and perils of adolescence. This is a collection imbued with the poet's great sensitivity, emotionally strong and true." --Elizabeth Lord "Gill writes: 'we bathe in the malaise / of hot asphalt / waiting for a habitable word, ' and we feel the tension of translation, of using language at all, our doomed human technology. It's the hardest thing to capture that frustration in language, much less in translated language, and it's a little miraculous how well it's rendered throughout Gill's haunting lyric flares. Spawn is unforgettable poetry of the highest order." --Kaveh Akbar, author of Calling a Wolf a Wolf "Gill's poems are like small treasures clutched in buried tree roots, preserving "the chalky veins" of ancestral memory pulsing just below our modern hustle. Miller's luminous translation gives us a poet who insists on unwinding layers of language--Indigenous and settler, pop-cultural, philosophical, and spiritual--in search of elemental connection." --Kiki Petrosino, author of White Blood "Marie-Andr e Gill undertakes in Spawn a poetry of intimacy and estrangement in technicolor: evoking nostalgia for nature as well as Nintendo, her haunting juxtapositions exist in life cycles of commercial possibilities and ecological impossibilities, of postcolonial globalization and indigenous dislocation. Rendered into crystalline English by poet Kristen Renee Miller, Spawn is an unforgettable work of lyricism and cosmic intelligence." --Katrine ?gaard Jensen, tr. Third-Millenium Heart, winner of the 2018 National Translation Award
