Book excerpt: "So bright, so light, so soft, so mingled, the gentle colour of life is outdone by all the colours of the world. Its very beauty is that it is white, but less white than milk; brown, but less brown than earth; red, but less red than sunset or dawn. It is lucid, but less lucid than the colour of lilies. It has the hint of gold that is in all fine colour; but in our latitudes the hint is almost elusive..." 'The Colour of Life' is a collection of sketches, mainly centred on natural phenomena, written in a lyrical manner.
Download or read book I Me written by Raad Chalabi and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the twelfth in the Ramiz Alkhishins dialogue-based books by author Raad Chalabi. In his newest book I & Me, author Raad Chalabi, through forty-eight stand-alone dialogue scenes, describes an ongoing debate between many different characters on various aspects of life. The author uses fictional dialogues in which one party defends one social norm or belief while another rejects it. This book, as is the case with the authors all other books, takes you in an unstoppable journey down the slopes of randomness with individual choices as the only rudder. What your choices are and when you actually make them is what life is. Once you grasp that the starting point of your downward slope and its final base are not yours to alter, neither are the unpredictable events that confront you on the way down, you will then, and only then, understand how valuable that rudder is. It makes no difference if you think that the base of the downward slope is your final destination to nothing or your gateway to everything. Either way, it is the individual choices that you make during your downward journey that will allow you to reach that base in the manner you wish.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lucy's life was supposed to be idyllic once she and her family moved to sun-soaked Oz – but it couldn't be more of a mess. No sooner have they unpacked their Marmite, than Lucy catches her darling husband Jasper inflagrante. With her best friend Renee. In one double blow, she loses the two people she trusted most – and now has to fend for herself. While Lucy battles her daughter (low self esteem is hereditary – you get it from your teenagers) and desperately tries to turn herself into an Aussie love goddess to win Jasper back, she meets Jack “Lockie” McLachlan. He's a rugged lifeguard with plenty of experience in rescuing damsels in distress. But Lucy can do without any further complications in her life right now. The only question is, without Lockie's kiss of life, will she sink or swim? Praise for Kathy Lette: 'Fabulous, fast-paced, funny & unapologetically female. Nobody does it better.'

Download or read book The White King written by Leanda de Lisle and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author and master of narrative nonfiction comes the tragic story of Charles I, his warrior queen, Britain's civil wars and the trial for his life. Less than forty years after England's golden age under Elizabeth I, the country was at war with itself. Split between loyalty to the Crown or to Parliament, war raged on English soil. The English Civil War would set family against family, friend against friend, and its casualties were immense--a greater proportion of the population died than in World War I. At the head of the disintegrating kingdom was King Charles I. In this vivid portrait -- informed by previously unseen manuscripts, including royal correspondence between the king and his queen -- Leanda de Lisle depicts a man who was principled and brave, but fatally blinkered. Charles never understood his own subjects or court intrigue. At the heart of the drama were the Janus-faced cousins who befriended and betrayed him -- Henry Holland, his peacocking servant whose brother, the New England colonialist Robert Warwick, engineered the king's fall; and Lucy Carlisle, the magnetic 'last Boleyn girl' and faithless favorite of Charles's maligned and fearless queen. The tragedy of Charles I was that he fell not as a consequence of vice or wickedness, but of his human flaws and misjudgments. The White King is a story for our times, of populist politicians and religious war, of manipulative media and the reshaping of nations. For Charles it ended on the scaffold, condemned as a traitor and murderer, yet lauded also as a martyr, his reign destined to sow the seeds of democracy in Britain and the New World.

Book excerpt: England 1469. Elizabeth Hardacre loves her father, a friend and ally of the Earl of Warwick, the most powerful man in England. When the Earl of Warwick's messenger informs her that her father is suspected of treason, Elizabeth's life changes dramatically, as it soon becomes apparent that it is not her father but the Earl of Warwick who has broken with King Edward IV, the man he put on the throne. The Wars of the Roses has begun again. Held as a hostage to ensure her father's compliance with the Earl of Warwick's wishes, Elizabeth becomes involved in a battle of her own: to obtain her father's freedom, even though this means taking the life of a man whose greatest sin is to love her. Unable to seek absolution for her crime, Elizabeth convinces herself that she is beyond redemption and adds sin on sin. But just when she believes that she can once again taste happiness, her trust is betrayed and she seeks a terrible revenge for that betrayal, one that will determine who holds the throne of England.
Download or read book The World According to Colour written by James Fox and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Extraordinary. An intellectual feast as well as a visual one' Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare with Amber Eyes The world comes to us in colour. But colour lives as much in our imaginations as it does in our surroundings, as this scintillating book reveals. Each chapter immerses the reader in a single colour, drawing together stories from the histories of art and humanity to illuminate the meanings it has been given over the eras and around the globe. Showing how artists, scientists, writers, philosophers, explorers and inventors have both shaped and been shaped by these wonderfully myriad meanings, James Fox reveals how, through colour, we can better understand their cultures, as well as our own. Each colour offers a fresh perspective on a different epoch, and together they form a vivid, exhilarating history of the world. 'We have projected our hopes, anxieties and obsessions onto colour for thousands of years,' Fox writes. 'The history of colour, therefore, is also a history of humanity.'
