Book excerpt: The reason behind the discomfort of mankind is the absence of meaning and consequently, they spend their lives in utter confusion while always trying to find out which direction they should head towards. In the pursuit of this direction--which is an inborn thirst inside them, they get lost in the pursuit of happiness when in actual thinking of happiness as a motivation to live is a deadly concept and that is why those who rely only on happiness, never end up finding their meaning of life. The meaning of life cannot be something temporary and can be found out in both happiness and pain--and this when discovered, results in a life of peace, harmony, and clarity. Not only this, it connects the humans with the divine purpose they are here for, which is consistent growth leading to excellence in terms of spirituality, purification, and connection with the divine. The book explains the complete picture of the meaning of life, in terms of man's journey from birth to death and a journey beyond death. This will help you see your life--to answer you about all the pain and miseries you have ever come across, and to prepare you for the upcoming trials of your life so that you do not remain lost and confused anymore and you get to tackle the life challenges with positive attitude, staunch confidence and a sheer will for sticking to the purpose anyhow. Once you internalize the concepts explained in this book, you will be able to identify your goals, discover your passion and how to align that passion with purpose to spend a life of satisfaction. It will help you become strong and most importantly, it will help you connect with the love of The Lord Most High at deeper levels.

Download or read book Jean Renoir written by Ronald Bergan and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now back in print, the definitive biography of a seminal figure in film history, whom Orson Welles called “the greatest of all directors.” Jean Renoir’s career almost spans the history years of cinema–from the early silent movies, to the naturalism of the talkies, committed cinema, film noir, Hollywood studio productions, the Technicolor-period comedies and fast television techniques. His film The Grand Illusion remains one of the greatest movies about the effects of war. Decades after its release, Renoir’s The Rules of the Game (1939) is the only film to have been included on every top ten list in the Sight & Sound's respected decennial poll since 1952, cementing Renoir’s influence. André Bazin and François Truffaut praised Renoir as the patron saint of the French New Wave. Jean Renoir: Projections of Paradise gives detailed accounts of Renoir’s working methods and captivating appraisals of his films, and his long and fascinating life from his blissful childhood as the son of the great Impressionist painter August Renoir. This is a must-read for students of film and all fans of entertaining, timeless movies.

Book excerpt: Now back in print, this acclaimed biography reassesses a titan of early cinema based on new material released after the fall of the Soviet Union. Sergei Eisenstein: A Life in Conflict tells the dramatic story of one of world cinema’s towering geniuses and principal theorists. Ronald Bergan details Eisenstein’s life from his precocious childhood to his explosion onto the avant-garde scene in revolutionary Russia, through his groundbreaking film career, his relationships with authors and artists such as James Joyce and Walt Disney, and his untimely death at age fifty. Eisenstein’s landmark films, including The Battleship Potemkin and Ivan the Terrible, are still watched, admired, and taught throughout the world. Drawing upon material recently released from the Soviet archives after the breakup of the USSR and from Eisenstein’s personal letters, diaries, and sketches, Bergan shines a new light on the influence of Eisenstein’s early life on his work, his homosexuality, and his keen interest in the West. This book is the definitive biography of an influential director who saw film as the synthesis of all the arts and whose work displayed a passionate and profound grasp of art, science, philosophy, and religion.
