Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These stories tell of humour, of mystery, of horror, and of oddity. They are told by Lord Henry Curzon, a haunted man helped by a strange doctor, by Miss Celine, a young woman doubting her marriage, by a widow, by a cemetery keeper, by a traveller, by a murderer, and by many more that remain without a name, but certainly not without a story. They are telling of their lives, of their feelings, of their worries, and of their deepest fears. In this, they are humorous, charming, horrifying, and bewildering. Still, they allow insight, not just in their own minds, but in the societies they lived in. There, they are confronted with lost hopes and exaggerated expectations, with the joy of living and the seemingly finality of death, with the sweetness of dreams, and the bitterness of realities, with life as it is and with life as it used to be. Contains the following stories: - The Transcendental Observations of Doctor Hanes Pfahl - The Train Ride - Tierra - The Diamond Ring - The Carriage - A Dream in Colours - The Invisible Men - Diedra - Catching a Poet - The Boy in the Window - A Lesson from a Madman
Download or read book Iphelia written by Erick Kenneth French and published by . This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iphelia is a graphic novel for the inner children of grown men and women. It is the story of a girl born with a special gift of sensitivity, told through 90 pages of visually stunning images that animate the feeling-level of experience through color, texture, shape and motion, making it perfect for young children, too. Like Iphelia, we are all born with the gift of feeling. But as we are exposed to all the wounded adults around us, we develop defenses that quiet and dull our emotional sense. We lose touch with our feelings, our connection with ourselves, and our capacity to really connect with each other. We lose empathy. The graphic novel illustrates the language of feelings and teaches valuable lessons in friendship, forgiveness, creativity, integrity, and the power of feeling! The second half of the book is a passionate educational exploration of the feeling-dimension of experience that includes exercises and techniques for practical application. Each of the practices supports the reader in developing a deeper understanding of feelings and greater self-awareness. The practices build on each other, facilitating a journey toward a peak of insight and understanding. Topics covered include empathy for self and others, personal integrity, addiction, communication, boundary setting, apologizing, meditation, and living consciously.
Download or read book In the Time of the Butterflies written by Julia Alvarez and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2010-01-12 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2024, internationally bestselling author and literary icon Julia Alvarez's In the Time of the Butterflies is "beautiful, heartbreaking and alive ... a lyrical work of historical fiction based on the story of the Mirabal sisters, revolutionary heroes who had opposed and fought against Trujillo." (Concepción de León, New York Times) Alvarez’s new novel, The Cemetery of Untold Stories, is coming April 2, 2024. Pre-order now! It is November 25, 1960, and three beautiful sisters have been found near their wrecked Jeep at the bottom of a 150-foot cliff on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. The official state newspaper reports their deaths as accidental. It does not mention that a fourth sister lives. Nor does it explain that the sisters were among the leading opponents of Gen. Rafael Leónidas Trujillo’s dictatorship. It doesn’t have to. Everybody knows of Las Mariposas—the Butterflies. In this extraordinary novel, the voices of all four sisters--Minerva, Patria, María Teresa, and the survivor, Dedé--speak across the decades to tell their own stories, from secret crushes to gunrunning, and to describe the everyday horrors of life under Trujillo’s rule. Through the art and magic of Julia Alvarez’s imagination, the martyred Butterflies live again in this novel of courage and love, and the human costs of political oppression. "Alvarez helped blaze the trail for Latina authors to break into the literary mainstream, with novels like In the Time of the Butterflies and How the García Girls Lost Their Accents winning praise from critics and gracing best-seller lists across the Americas."—Francisco Cantú, The New York Times Book Review "This Julia Alvarez classic is a must-read for anyone of Latinx descent." —Popsugar.com "A gorgeous and sensitive novel . . . A compelling story of courage, patriotism and familial devotion." —People "Shimmering . . . Valuable and necessary." —Los Angeles Times "A magnificent treasure for all cultures and all time.” —St. Petersburg Times "Alvarez does a remarkable job illustrating the ruinous effect the 30-year dictatorship had on the Dominican Republic and the very real human cost it entailed."—Cosmopolitan.com

A bright mind in a dying disease-ridden body, he must make a choice: Will he live for two years and suffer a harrowing, painful death at the whim of a terminal illness? Or will he turn to technology to alleviate his suffering? On his laptop is the following message: YOU WILL BE ASKED TWO QUESTIONS. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY ANSWERING “YES” EACH TIME, YOU WILL DIE? Will he have the courage to find his own version of peace? And if courage fails him, will technology prevail? Dark and insightful, yet somehow hopeful, “I’ll Visit You As A Butterfly” will make you question what you think you know about life, loss, and stolen futures.
