Book excerpt: WE TRUST we are not laying ourself open to misconception when we describe Margot Asquith's daughter, the Princess A. Bibesco, as a chip off the old block for so we gather from a perusal of her volume of stories called "I Have Only Myself to Blame." Mamma Margot, you will recall, recently threw all the small town spinsters into a flurry of haste to get her shocking memoirs from the public Library. We notice it is still one of the six "non-fiction" books most in demand. (We were never quite certain about classing it as "non-fiction.") Now follows the daughter, who is the wife of the Roumanian Minister to these United States, with a collection of tales that other daughters should not permit their mothers to read without first explaining Things to them, for mothers are usually ignorant of the Facts of Life; and that the virginal sparrows who hop so eagerly over the lintels of New England public libraries looking for intellectual crumbs will probably read with delicious horror and profound misunderstanding. For these sketches-they are hardly stories in the true sense, but fleeting episodes, hints, suggestions, out of the eternal drama of Sex-are as sophisticated as a Schnitzler play. Indeed, if Elizabeth Asquith could write a little better, she could easily create a female "Anatole"; she has the wit, the observation, and the world-weary preoccupation with sex, characteristic of an outworn aristocracy. Consider her heroine who is wooed tenderly, amid the iris blooms, with reverent kisses on the hands, while she dreams of a roughneck behind a long cigar, who takes her masterfully up to a hotel bedroom with a brass bed. Or consider the wife at the end of the first year, who-but perhaps we needn't consider her just now. There will be plenty of readers who will consider her with a smirk or a leer. But that is not the way. Actually, there is something profoundly pathetic about this book, pathetic because its erotic note is so psychologically true, its "nerves" so real. It shows the point to which Mr. Shaw's "Horseback Hall" had sunk, in its old-world ease of privilege and sophistication. Read this book, and then read Hamlin Garland's "Daughter of the Middle Border," and you will learn more about the difference between Europe and America than a year of travel could teach you. -The Judge, Vol. 82 [1922]

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we get to write the ending. Don’t miss the five-part HBO Max docuseries Brené Brown: Atlas of the Heart! Social scientist Brené Brown has ignited a global conversation on courage, vulnerability, shame, and worthiness. Her pioneering work uncovered a profound truth: Vulnerability—the willingness to show up and be seen with no guarantee of outcome—is the only path to more love, belonging, creativity, and joy. But living a brave life is not always easy: We are, inevitably, going to stumble and fall. It is the rise from falling that Brown takes as her subject in Rising Strong. As a grounded theory researcher, Brown has listened as a range of people—from leaders in Fortune 500 companies and the military to artists, couples in long-term relationships, teachers, and parents—shared their stories of being brave, falling, and getting back up. She asked herself, What do these people with strong and loving relationships, leaders nurturing creativity, artists pushing innovation, and clergy walking with people through faith and mystery have in common? The answer was clear: They recognize the power of emotion and they’re not afraid to lean in to discomfort. Walking into our stories of hurt can feel dangerous. But the process of regaining our footing in the midst of struggle is where our courage is tested and our values are forged. Our stories of struggle can be big ones, like the loss of a job or the end of a relationship, or smaller ones, like a conflict with a friend or colleague. Regardless of magnitude or circumstance, the rising strong process is the same: We reckon with our emotions and get curious about what we’re feeling; we rumble with our stories until we get to a place of truth; and we live this process, every day, until it becomes a practice and creates nothing short of a revolution in our lives. Rising strong after a fall is how we cultivate wholeheartedness. It’s the process, Brown writes, that teaches us the most about who we are. ONE OF GREATER GOOD’S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR “[Brené Brown’s] research and work have given us a new vocabulary, a way to talk with each other about the ideas and feelings and fears we’ve all had but haven’t quite known how to articulate. . . . Brené empowers us each to be a little more courageous.”—The Huffington Post

Download or read book Butterfly Effect and Other Short Stories written by Prachi Saxena and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2020-11-11 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the chaos theory, the butterfly effect is described as the phenomenon wherein the slightest change in the initial conditions of a nonlinear system can cause great changes at a later stage. In simpler terms, all that we do, the smallest decisions we make, the people we meet, create a ripple effect on the story of our lives. A simple decision of taking a right instead of left or bumping accidentally into a neighbour—everything has consequences. Every encounter, no matter how insignificant, modifies our story in a unique way. The Butterfly Effect and Other Short Stories is a collection of the tales of such encounters—some life-changing, some life-affirming, and some that happen long after the life is lost.
