Download or read book The Moving Finger written by Agatha Christie and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lymstock was a town with more that its share of shameful secrets – a town where even a sudden outbreak of anonymous hate-mail caused only a minor stir. But all of that changed when one of the recipients, Mrs Symmington, committed suicide. Her final note said 'I can't go on'. Only Miss Marple questioned the coroner's verdict of suicide. Was this the work of a poison-pen? Or of a poisoner? Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. She wrote 79 crime mysteries and collections, and saw her work translated into more languages than Shakespeare. Her enduring success, enhanced by many film and TV adaptations, is a tribute to the timeless appeal of her characters and the unequalled ingenuity of her plots. "Beyond all doubt the puzzle in 'The Moving Finger' is fit for experts."THE TIMES

Download or read book Omar Khayyam Poems written by Omar Khayyam and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-07-23 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems attributed to Omar Khayyam have a universal and timeless philosophical theme: life is a meaningful journey even if brief and uncertain. They inspire an unconstrained free-thinking mindset and a wise realization that guides thinking persons: it is impossible to see the absolute truth, as the universe has its own reality that remains largely hidden, and that one must think and act accordingly. This book presents a selection of Khayyam's poems in their original Persian language along with their English translations in a faithful and modern version. By relying only on the original Persian version of Khayyam's poems, and using the author's own body of literary and linguistic knowledge, this book presents a modern translation of Omar Khayyam's poems since Edward Fitzgerald's Rubaiyat in 1859.
Download or read book The Rub iy t of Omar Khayy m written by David Ramsey and published by Borgo Press. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Ramsey's reinterpretation of the Edward FitzGerald English-language version of the classic Omar Khayyam poem, The Rubaiyat, began with his displeasure of the oft-quoted verse: "Here with a loaf of Bread Beneath..." The author says: "I thought this sounded more Victorian than Persian. I think Omar meant something more like this: 'With a book of verse beneath the bough...' For my own amusement I then proceeded to deflower other of Fitzgerald's translations of Khayyam's poetry. The challenge was to make suitable alternatives to those famous verses that have made The Rubaiyat one of the best-known works of poetry in the English language. One might say that I plagiarized the author, or his principal translator, or both--but I consider this more as an unholy collaboration between the three of us over the centuries. I hope my two unwitting collaborators would not be displeased with my reinterpretation of their efforts." Ramsey's irreverent verses are amusing, full of philosophical wit, and very relevant indeed to today's free-swinging culture. Great reading! Great fun!

Many of the selected poems are not widely known, and Ivan M. Granger has done a great service, not only by bringing them to public attention, but by opening their deeper meaning with his own rare poetic and mystic sensibility." ROGER HOUSDEN author of the best-selling Ten Poems to Change Your Life series "Ivan M. Granger's new anthology, The Longing in Between, gives us a unique collection of profoundly moving poetry. It presents some of the choicest fruit from the flowering of mystics across time, across traditions and from around the world. After each of the poems in this anthology Ivan M. Granger shares his reflections and contemplations, inviting the reader to new and deeper views of the Divine Presence. This is a grace-filled collection which the reader will gladly return to over and over again." LAWRENCE EDWARDS, Ph.D. author of Awakening Kundalini: The Path to Radical Freedom and Kali's Bazaar

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE MOVING FINGER WRITES By Bud Simpson REX STEPHENSON is on top of the writing world. He has a well earned reputation as the foremost writer of horror fiction in the United States and, possibly, in the entire world. He has loyal fans, money, fame, a loving wife; CHERYL, and a beautiful summer home in an equally beautiful setting on Millboro Lake in Western Maine. Then, in an instant, he is wrenched away from everything he has worked so hard for. Torn away not by illness or accident or even by a catastrophe of nature, but by one of the people who made him the famed author he is; his self proclaimed greatest fan, CHARLES MORRISON QUEEG. Queeg collects first editions of his favorite authors, but this crazed fan also collects some of the authors themselves. Rex Stephenson is destined to be his latest acquisition the latest "guest" in Queeg's New Hampshire home! Many twists and turns later, Rex discovers one of the reason for his abduction. He has not had book signings for several years, so Queeg has abducted him in order to force him to sign all the books in his Stephenson collection! Further events prove to Rex that Queeg is a truer madman than he thought and a possible psychotic killer. Rex is now sure that he is not the only "guest" Queeg has ever had. Rex fights a psychological war of the minds with Queeg and struggles through horrifying events that test his sanity and perseverance. As he signs an old manuscript for Queeg that he had written as a teenager, he finds that these same events he is living through had happened to the protagonist in that old, forgotten story! Rex determines that he must find a way to escape from the impregnable cell in the basement of Queeg's residence as soon as possible or he is certain he will die there. Armed with only his mind and brilliant imagination, Rex perseveres and with outside help from his agent, DAVE HARTMANN, and his policeman friend, JOHNNY REAGAN, he finally manages an escape from his flaming prison; set ablaze by Queeg to cover his tracks before he disappears. However, this is not the end of Rex's tribulations at the hands of Queeg. Time passes, and when Queeg is nothing but a horrible, distant memory, Queeg bursts back into Rex's life in full fury. During a blinding winter blizzard as Rex is closing up his summer home for the winter, to his horror, he is confronted by Queeg once more; shotgun in hand, determined to extract his final vengeance from Rex Stephenson. Can Rex Stephenson escape from Queeg's wrath once more, or, is this the final chapter in this writer's life story?

Download or read book The Philosophy of Poetry written by John Gibson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-05-14 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years philosophers have produced important books on nearly all the major arts: the novel and painting, music and theatre, dance and architecture, conceptual art and even gardening. Poetry is the sole exception. This is an astonishing omission, one this collection of original essays will correct. If contemporary philosophy still regards metaphors such as 'Juliet is the sun' as a serious problem, one has an acute sense of how prepared it is to make philosophical and aesthetic sense of poems such W. B. Yeats's 'The Second Coming', Sylvia Plath's 'Daddy', or Paul Celan's 'Todesfuge'. The Philosophy of Poetry brings together philosophers of art, language, and mind to expose and address the array of problems poetry raises for philosophy. In doing so it lays the foundation for a proper philosophy of poetry, setting out the various puzzles and paradoxes that future work in the field will have to address. Given its breadth of approach, the volume is relevant not only to aesthetics but to all areas of philosophy concerned with meaning, truth, and the communicative and expressive powers of language more generally. Poetry is the last unexplored frontier in contemporary analytic aesthetics, and this volume offers a powerful demonstration of how central poetry should be to philosophy.
