Book excerpt: Ty Karos is a young doctor at a New York City hospital. While treating a dying patient, he is exposed to hepatitis C, a life-threatening virus which causes liver damage. The event triggers anxious, hopeless thoughts as Ty struggles with the premise of his own mortality. His Epicurean beliefs and principles, which he has strictly adhered to and drawn strength from over the years, are challenged by this new obstacle, as he leans on his mentor Dr. Hobbes for guidance. Ty reasons that something, or rather someone, is missing from his life- Miranda, a long lost love he met in the Cycladic islands a decade earlier. Hoping she might somehow aid his recovery, he locates her and the two re-unite. Throughout his spiritual journey, Ty questions how best to live, the value of love, and what follows death. In the end, it is these enduring experiences in Ty's troubled life which emerge as his principal reflections in the stream.
Download or read book Too Much and Not the Mood written by Durga Chew-Bose and published by FSG Originals. This book was released on 2017-04-11 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 11, 1931, Virginia Woolf ended her entry in A Writer's Diary with the words "too much and not the mood." She was describing how tired she was of correcting her own writing, of the "cramming in and the cutting out" to please other readers, wondering if she had anything at all that was truly worth saying. The character of that sentiment, the attitude of it, inspired Durga Chew-Bose to write and collect her own work. The result is a lyrical and piercingly insightful collection of essays and her own brand of essay-meets-prose poetry about identity and culture. Inspired by Maggie Nelson's Bluets, Lydia Davis's short prose, and Vivian Gornick's exploration of interior life, Chew-Bose captures the inner restlessness that keeps her always on the brink of creative expression. Too Much and Not the Mood is a beautiful and surprising exploration of what it means to be a first-generation, creative young woman working today.

F. Riordan captures and magnifies the passing beauty of the ordinary and the extraordinary that lingers near the surface of daily life.
Download or read book Habit of Rivers written by Ted Leeson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2006-11-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1994, this book was a fly-fishing phenomenon in the way Howell Raines's Fly Fishing Through the Mid-Life Crisis was. Taking his fishing hobby to near metaphysical levels, Ted Leeson tells about his passions: rivers, trout, and fly fishing. With wry humor and rare insight, he explores questions that engage most fishermen: What is it about rivers that draws us so irresistibly, and why does fly fishing seem such an aptly suited response? Above all, The Habit of Rivers is about ways of seeing the wonderfully textured world that emanates from a river.

Download or read book Inspirations Thoughts and Reflections for Life written by Markus Leyacker-Schatzl and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2008 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Inspirations'... Do we not all long for inspiration in our lives? In a time where life and society are becoming ever faster? A time in which consumerism and entertainment are often superficial and spiritless? Who or what really still inspires us today? Truly inspiring things have become so rare that when they do come our way, we usually immediately notice them. Sometimes we do not recognize inspiration and regard it as 'corny' because it no longer fits into our seemingly superficial world. 'Thoughts & Reflections'... We have hardly any time for these nowadays anymore, or rather often believe not to have the time for contemplating life, certain things and their relationships. But is this the right way? We run through life like lemmings. The fact that we meet many familiar faces along the way, makes us feel we are on the right path, in the right direction... Without inspiration, without reflection... simply running... Let yourself be inspired by this book!
Download or read book Reflections of Prague written by Ivan Margolius and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-08-06 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflections of Prague is the story of how a Czech Jewish family become embroiled in the most tragic and tumultuous episodes of the twentieth century. Through their eyes we see the history of their beloved Prague, a unique European city, and the wider, political forces that tear their lives apart. Their moving story traces the major events, turmoil, oppression and triumphs of Europe through the last hundred years – from the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the First World War; from the vibrant artistic and intellectual life of Prague in the times of Kafka, the Capek Brothers and Masaryk to years of hunger in a Polish ghetto and the concentration camps of Hitler; from the tyrannous rule of Stalin to the rekindled hopes of Dubcek and the subsequent Soviet occupation to liberation under Havel. Told from Ivan’s perspective, it is a poignant but uplifting tale that tells of life lived with purpose and conviction, in the face of personal suffering and sacrifice. ‘A remarkable book. This archetypical story of the twentieth century is intertwined with an almost stream-of-consciousness narrative of the history of the Czechs, of Prague, interspersed with samples of exquisite poetry by great contemporary poets. So the narrative flows like Eliot’s sweet Thames full of the debris of tragic lives, of horrors, of moments of beauty and testimonies of love – all against the backdrop of man’s inhumanity.’ Josef Škvorecký ‘A poignant and vivid mémoire of a child searching for traces of his father, lost in the murky ideologies of post war Central Europe. An engrossing book.’ Sir John Tusa

This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benjamin Tilghman has been a leading commentator on analytic philosophy for many years. This book brings together his most significant and influential work on aesthetics. Spanning a period of thirty years and covering topics in aesthetics from literature to painting, the collection traces the development of Tilghman's two principal themes; a rejection of philosophical theory as a way of resolving problems about our understanding and appreciation of art and the importance of the representation and presentation of the human and human concerns in art. Tilghman is profoundly influenced by the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein and his work is informed throughout by his conception and practice of philosophy. Written with exceptional clarity and with many references to original work in both painting and literature, this collection will be an invaluable resource not only for professional philosophers but for those working in the arts generally, art historians, critics and literary theorists.

Book excerpt: Author Robert Hassan believes that we are 'trapped in a digital prison of constant distraction', and that the time we spend on screens is draining more from us than hours in the day. With the increasing amount of attention that digital devices demand, diminishing our capacity for reflection, there is less time to stop and think about our lives.So what happens when we remove these technologies altogether?In order to break free from the 'digital prison', Hassan booked passage on a containership and spent five weeks travelling from Melbourne to Singapore - disconnected and essentially alone. In this space of isolation and reflection, he was able to reconnect with lost memories and interrogate the temporality of both 'clock time' and lived experience.Uncontained is an account of Hassan's voyage of discovery - a must-read for anyone who resents the encroachment of the digital on their inner world.
