Book excerpt: Twenty-three year-old Arturo Fernandez believes he has his life figured out. Like most young men in his village of Colima, Mexico, his plan is simple. He envisions himself marrying his long term girlfriend as soon as his carpentry business has taken off, and together they would build a nice home and raise happy children. Then the wind blows an American woman into Arturo’s path, and his life changes in ways so tragic that he finds himself considering the unthinkable. Laura Marie Spencer, a red-haired beauty from America is unwinding in Colima after a messy divorce from her wealthy husband when she happens to watch Arturo in an amateur boxing match. Impressed by his obvious passion and unmatched skill for the sport, Laura persuades Arturo to come to America with her where she promises to help him pursue a professional boxing career. Laura asserts that Arturo is a gem buried in Colima soils and all he needs is a little polishing to make him shine. Though initially resistant, Arturo eventually concedes that Laura’s offer is a God-sent opportunity that will help him achieve bigger dreams - like rescuing his family from the pangs of poverty. But when he arrives in America, his life is turned upside down with a force so powerful that it sends him careening on the edge of insanity. Instead of the fame, prosperity and success Laura had promised, Arturo is tossed into a path laced with sex, lies, deception and even murder. A golden opportunity turns into a fight for his life. How does a simple village carpenter from Mexico end up in a maximum prison in Florida charged with the murder of the very woman who had promised to nurture his dream? A shocking revelation from Laura’s scandalous secret past might be Arturo’s only saving grace...

Download or read book Thinking as Sport and Dance written by Gary Anthony Catona and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-11-19 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is what a philosophy book should be like-exciting, surprising, mind-opening, honest, and original." -Alphonso Lingis, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, Pennsylvania State University Thinking as Sport and Dance will not only teach that real thinking is an amazing adventure into the greatest mysteries and experiences of life but will also reveal thinking as a grand celebration of life. To know the real glory of thinking, you must understand its two basic dimensions: the qualities that make it similar to sports and those that relate it to dance. Artful thinking is like a sport because it's goal-oriented, analytical, rule-bound, and confrontational. Besides pursuing knowledge with the attitude of a dedicated sportsperson, artful thinkers also engage reality in the spirit of dance, where thinking becomes spontaneous, intuitive, playful, and harmonious. Thinking at its best emerges when the mind of an athlete and that of a dancer live together competitively and playfully in the same mind. When this happens, beautiful thought performances result. Thinking as Sport and Dance is a critical tool for addressing and resolving life's many complexities, as well as a guide to embracing life with gusto and joy.

Download or read book Sophie and the Sibyl written by Patricia Duncker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Berlin, Max Duncker and his brother, Wolfgang, own a thriving publishing business, which owes its success to one woman: the Sibyl, or Mary Ann Evans, better known as George Eliot,who is writing the final installment of her bestselling serial Middlemarch. Max is as fond of gambling and brothels as Wolfgang is of making a profit and berating his spendthrift brother, but Max is given a chance to prove his worth by visiting the Sibyl and her not-quite-husband Lewes, to finalize the publishing rights to her new novel. The Sibyl proves to be as enthralling and intelligent as her books, bewitching Max and all of those around her. But Wolfgang has an ulterior motive for Max's visit; he wants his brother to consider the beautiful eighteen-year-old Countess Sophie von Hahn as a potential wife. An acquaintance from Max's childhood, she comes from a German family of great wealth. However, Sophie proves to be nothing like the angelic vision of domesticity Max envisaged; wild and willful, she gambles recklessly yet always wins, rides horses fiercely, and is happy to disobey authority, especially when it comes to her idol, George Eliot. Enchanted by this whirlwind of a woman, Max nevertheless fears he will never be able to tame her. With its vivid portrayal of George Eliot and how she lived her life, and the turbulent love story of the countess and Max, Sophie and the Sibyl is both a compulsive read and a high literary achievement.
