Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I retired rich at age 55, I should have been more afraid. I was no longer a highly paid CEO in corporate America, but I had no apprehension about climbing down. I had plenty of money, literally millions of dollars, and figured I could easily handle my transition into an exciting, fun-filled retirement. Las Vegas was calling, and Palm Springs beckoned. Then, without warning, I was pounded with a series of lethal storms that made my remarkable ascent in the business world look easy. After college, I had been unstoppable, rapidly climbing up, a businessman riding high on a fabulous, serendipitous winning streak. My life was also the proverbial story of rags to riches. I had to learn how to climb out of the box of poverty and low expectations into which I was born. In my youth, I learned lessons that taught me how to cope, survive, and win in spite of vast, adversarial forces I saw and felt but never fully comprehended. When destructive personal losses swept through my post-retirement life, the old lessons that had taken me to the top in business were useless. I decided to revisit my entire life. I desperately needed to find the lessons I must have missed along the way. It was a matter of life and death. This memoir is the record of that amazing search.
Download or read book One Thousand and One Nights written by Hanan al-Shaykh and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-03-10 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the world's great folk story-cycles adapted for the stage by leading theatre maker Tim Supple, from the stories written by the seminal Lebanese novelist Hanan al-Shaykh. This unique edition will unlock the ancient tales for a new generation of readers and performers. Written by Arabic writers from tales gathered in India, Persia and across the great Arab Empire, the One Thousand and One Nights are the never-ending stories told by Shahrazad night after night, under sentence of death, to the king Shahrayar who has vowed to marry a virgin every night and kill her in the morning. Shahrazad prolongs her life by keeping the King engrossed in a web of stories that never ends - a fascinating kaleidoscope of life, love and destiny. The tales that unfold are erotic, violent, supernatural and endlessly surprising. The web of tales woven by Shahrazad were exoticised and bowdlerised in the West under the title of the Arabian Nights. This adaptation unearths the true character of One Thousand and One Nights as it is in the oldest Arabic manuscripts. In turns erotic, brutal, witty, poetic and complex, the tales tell of love and marriage, power and punishment, rich and poor, and the endless trials and uncertainties of fate. The great cities and thriving trade routes of the Islamic world provide the setting for these stories that employ supernatural mystery and intense realism to portray the deep and endless drama of human experience.
