Download or read book If On A Winter s Night A Traveler written by Italo Calvino and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2012-12-11 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "You are about to begin reading Italo Calvino's new novel...Relax. Concentrate. Dispel every other thought. Let the world around you fade." —from If On A Winter's Night a Traveler Italo Calvino's stunning classic imagines a novel capable of endless possibilities in an intricately crafted, spellbinding story about writing and reading. If on a Winter's Night a Traveler is a feat of striking ingenuity and intelligence, exploring how our reading choices can shape and transform our lives. Originally published in 1979, Italo Calvino's singular novel crafted a postmodern narrative like never seen before—offering not one novel but ten, each with a different plot, style, ambience, and author, and each interrupted at a moment of suspense. Together, the stories form a labyrinth of literature known and unknown, alive and extinct, through which two readers pursue the story lines that intrigue them and try to read each other. Deeply profound and surprisingly romantic, this classic is a beautiful meditation on the transformative power of reading and the ways we make meaning in our lives. "Calvino is a wizard...There is no halting [this book's] metamorphoses." —New York Times Review of Books

Book excerpt: In 'If Winter Comes,' A. S. M. Hutchinson crafts a compelling narrative that navigates the challenges and moral complexities faced by its protagonist Mark Sabre in the post-World War I British society.

The book's republication by DigiCat Publishing allows modern readers to access this significant yet underappreciated work, imbuing it with contemporary resonance while honoring its literary significance within the canon of early 20th-century British novels.

Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! AS HEARD ON NPR MORNING EDITION AND ON BEING WITH KRISTA TIPPETT “Katherine May opens up exactly what I and so many need to hear but haven't known how to name.” —Krista Tippett, On Being “Every bit as beautiful and healing as the season itself. . . . This is truly a beautiful book.” —Elizabeth Gilbert "Proves that there is grace in letting go, stepping back and giving yourself time to repair in the dark...May is a clear-eyed observer and her language is steady, honest and accurate—capturing the sense, the beauty and the latent power of our resting landscapes." —Wall Street Journal An intimate, revelatory book exploring the ways we can care for and repair ourselves when life knocks us down. Sometimes you slip through the cracks: unforeseen circumstances like an abrupt illness, the death of a loved one, a break up, or a job loss can derail a life. These periods of dislocation can be lonely and unexpected. For May, her husband fell ill, her son stopped attending school, and her own medical issues led her to leave a demanding job. Wintering explores how she not only endured this painful time, but embraced the singular opportunities it offered. A moving personal narrative shot through with lessons from literature, mythology, and the natural world, May's story offers instruction on the transformative power of rest and retreat. Illumination emerges from many sources: solstice celebrations and dormice hibernation, C.S. Lewis and Sylvia Plath, swimming in icy waters and sailing arctic seas. Ultimately Wintering invites us to change how we relate to our own fallow times. May models an active acceptance of sadness and finds nourishment in deep retreat, joy in the hushed beauty of winter, and encouragement in understanding life as cyclical, not linear. A secular mystic, May forms a guiding philosophy for transforming the hardships that arise before the ushering in of a new season.

Download or read book If Winter Comes written by Satyapal Anand and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-05 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compendium of seventy poems, this book is the fifth in a series of poetry books published by Satyapal Anand. His poetry, it has been said, is more cerebral than emotional. His poems reveal many splendored splashes of color and sound. The essential mythological self of humanity as a whole sparkles in these poems. His personae are all inside his poems. "Here" and "now" and "there" and "then" combine to create the timelessness of human psyche. There is a kind of double vision, the imagist's faculty for seeing a thing at once precisely for itself and also as a part of the bigger phenomenon. In the form of a dramatic monologue, the speaker and his speech reflect the time, place, thought, social conventions, and general circumstances. Of the seventy poems, there are twelve poems directly translated from Urdu. Calling Anand's poetry as "fresh breeze," the noted critic Caroline Greene says that nothing extraordinary has happened in American poetry in the past half a century, and if an Urdu poet of the stature of Satyapal Anand has brought his treasure house to us, it is likely to change the scenario here.
