Download or read book The Black Book written by Lawrence Durrell and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The first piece of work by a new English writer to give me any hope for the future of prose fiction.” —T. S. Eliot As over-the-top as it is inventive, Durrell’s breakthrough novel is a series of sordid vignettes drawn from the lives of decadent artists, doomed bohemians, and continental rascals inhabiting a shabby London hotel, narrated in turns by the unforgettable Lawrence Lucifer and Gregory Death. Together, these characters seek to escape the absurdity of a Europe haunted by devastating war, yet beginning to pitch toward another apocalypse. First published in 1938, and influenced by Henry Miller and the sincere pranksterism of the surrealist movement, The Black Book marks the emergence of one of the most revolutionary voices in twentieth-century English literature. This ebook contains a new introduction by DBC Pierre.

Download or read book Sun Seekers written by Rachel McRady and published by Crooked Lane Books. This book was released on 2024-01-09 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Emmy Award-winning writer Rachel McRady comes a vital, illuminating debut novel of a broken family uniting in the face of terrifying crisis, for fans of This is Us and Parenthood. Six-year-old Gracie Lynn is perpetually curious and big-hearted. Convinced she knows how to save her beloved grandfather John from the “worm” that is eating his brain—a metaphor her mother once used to explain John’s dementia and sundown syndrome—she helps him break out of his nursing home, and the two disappear together on a quest to chase the sun. But what’s an adventure for Gracie is a nightmare scenario for her estranged parents, LeeAnn and Dan. There’s no way to predict where John might have taken their young daughter, or if he’s capable of keeping her safe. Jaded beyond her years, and struggling with her own mental health, LeeAnn has no delusions about what might happen if they don’t locate Gracie soon. Dan is no less frantic, but communicating with LeeAnn isn’t easy, even under the circumstances—too much stands between the hopeful young couple they once were and the people they’ve become. An emotionally resonant novel for fans of Fredrik Backman and Mark Haddon, Sun Seekers artfully explores the truths of parenthood, the ways in which we sometimes hurt those we love most, and the universal experience of deep loss—even when the person is still here.

Download or read book Gracie s First Day written by Heather Roe and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2023-12-04 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gracie’s First Day is a fun, rhyming book for ages 3-7 that children will be excited to read over and over. The story follows Gracie through her first day of school where she figures out how to feel and act in a new environment. The book deals with common situations children may encounter throughout their time in school. It encourages children to think about how they respond when things don’t go quite as expected. So many books are teaching adults how to adjust their mindset to have a better life. Through Gracie we are bringing those concepts to our youth. Children do not often get to choose what activity comes next in their school day, but they can absolutely choose how they respond to the situations that arise. The premise is described by success writer Napoleon Hill: “Within every adversity is an equal or greater benefit. Within every problem is an opportunity. Even in the knocks of life, we can find great gifts.” Our hope is that the next generation will learn to overcome adversity without having to unlearn detrimental habits as we adults often have to do. Our book teaches that there is always a different way to look at any given situation. We can focus on what we might be missing out on, or we can focus on the opportunity in front of us. We can focus on the problem, or we can focus on the possible solutions. We always have a choice. Gracie allows herself to feel disappointment and sadness in the moment. All of her feelings are ok. And in the next moment she recognizes the opportunity in front of her. She realizes that she gets to choose. When her seat is taken at lunchtime, she isn’t sure what to do. She could become upset and try to get her chair back or she could use the opportunity to meet someone new. She shifts her focus and has a great conversation with a new friend. “Gracie’s First Day is a generous tool for parents and educators to demonstrate the power of emotional awareness and decision making. The rhyming cadence and beautiful illustrations will entertain children while providing a thoroughly relatable role model who navigates challenges children face on a daily basis.” --Michael Gurian, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Minds of Girls, and Founder of The Gurian Institute Gracie’s First Day: • Teaches resilience in the face of adversity. • Guides children to recognize their emotions and overcome initial negative thoughts. • Shows that positive reactions can lead to unexpected benefits like new friendships. • Emphasizes the benefits of meeting new people. • Demonstrates how stepping outside our comfort zone often leads to the most positive outcomes. • Shows how thoughts and focus are powerful tools in our daily lives. No matter what happens, our mindset is our choice.
