Download or read book The Keeper of the Trees written by Rodney Blanks and published by Css Pub. This book was released on 2002-02-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Keeper of the Trees is an epic tale that chronicles the adventures, adversities, and longings of three generations of Monarchs who ruled mythical Oxymora, a primeval world doomed to cataclysmic destruction by collision with a passing star. Facing the inevitability of apocalyptic demise, humankind grapples with its search for purpose, meaning, and direction amid aimlessness, chaos, and despair. It is only the prophecy of The Keeper of the Trees that lures each generation to strive for a higher purpose than the last.As the saga unfolds, each of the three central characters struggles to resolve the eternal conflict between reason and passion and, in so doing, each faces hardships, misfortunes, and calamities that exemplify humankind's duplicity. Greed clouds judgment, lust dominates reason, and pride overshadows humility as they endure love and abandonment, peace and war, trust and betrayal. In fulfilling the prophecy of The Keeper of the Trees, the unexpected paradoxes of success through failure, power through surrender, victory through defeat, and love through letting go, illustrate that it matters not how a truth is discovered, it is more valuable than knowledge or wisdom or goodness, and that each moment of truth holds its own purpose and its own eternity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK Winner of the 2022 BookTube Silver Medal in Fiction * Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction "A wise novel of love and grief, roots and branches, displacement and home, faith and belief. Balm for our bruised times." -David Mitchell, author of Utopia Avenue A rich, magical new novel on belonging and identity, love and trauma, nature and renewal, from the Booker-shortlisted author of 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World. Two teenagers, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot, meet at a taverna on the island they both call home. In the taverna, hidden beneath garlands of garlic, chili peppers and creeping honeysuckle, Kostas and Defne grow in their forbidden love for each other. A fig tree stretches through a cavity in the roof, and this tree bears witness to their hushed, happy meetings and eventually, to their silent, surreptitious departures. The tree is there when war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to ashes and rubble, and when the teenagers vanish. Decades later, Kostas returns. He is a botanist looking for native species, but really, he's searching for lost love. Years later a Ficus carica grows in the back garden of a house in London where Ada Kazantzakis lives. This tree is her only connection to an island she has never visited--- her only connection to her family's troubled history and her complex identity as she seeks to untangle years of secrets to find her place in the world. A moving, beautifully written, and delicately constructed story of love, division, transcendence, history, and eco-consciousness, The Island of Missing Trees is Elif Shafak's best work yet.
