Download or read book The Lady in the Cafe written by Anu Jacob and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-06-28 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Anastasia meets a stranger in a cafe on a lovely spring afternoon, their chemistry is instantaneous, and sparks fly. Beneath the surface of her unconventional beauty, however, she harbors the dark scars of a traumatic past which haunt her relentlessly. As their worlds collide, their lives become intertwined and their actions have unforeseen consequences. Set in picturesque sleepy small town, River Falls, where the action unfolds as the seasons change from spring to fall, four people's lives become fatefully interconnected in this simple yet moving saga of love, jealousy, betrayal, forgiveness, and redemption. The collected essays explore two seminal artists of the Romantic nineteenth century. It is virtually impossible to imagine the world of opera without the captivating works of Giuseppe Verdi. Arguably the greatest operatic composer of all, after Mozart, Verdi's operas have endured the test of time, continuing to enjoy an almost unrivaled popularity in the repertoire. Visceral Passion and Sincerity in the Music of Giuseppe Verdi is an insightful exploration of Verdi the man, his legacy, and his unsurpassed ability in musical theater to paint the spectrum of human emotions with a vivid, dramatically cohesive palette which would revolutionize the operatic world. A beautiful society lady's adulterous affair with an army officer is the deceptively straightforward storyline which forms the backbone of a towering work of the literary canon, Anna Karenina. A probing essay, Anna Karenina: An Omniscient Exposition of Humanity, explores the world of its venerable creator, Lev Tolstoy, who belongs, along with Homer and Shakespeare, in the pantheon of the literary demigods. The essay explores the fascinatingly complex novel that Tolstoy creates through his memorable characters while simultaneously delving into the man behind the prose and his unparalleled contributions, not solely in fiction, but as a moralist and thinker.

Download or read book Rick s Cafe written by Kathy Kriger and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 60 years, tourists visiting Casablanca tried to visit Rick’s Café Americain only to discover that Warner Brothers had built the entire set on a studio back lot. It was a Hollywood fantasy—until Kathy Kriger came along, that is, and decided after 9/11 to bring the imaginary gin joint to life. In RICK'S CAFE, she takes us through souk back alleys, the Marché Central's overflowing food stalls, and the shadowy Moroccan business world, all while producing, directing, casting, and playing lead actress in her own story. Instead of letters of transit, she begged for letters of credit; the governor of Casablanca watched her back instead of Captain Renault; and at the piano, playing “As Time Goes By,” sits not Sam but Issam. She encountered paper pushers, absent architects, dedicated craftsmen, mad chefs, and surprising allies. It took over two years, but now, as Captain Renault says to Major Strasser, “Everybody comes to Rick’s.” Here is the remarkable story of a woman who turned Hollywood fantasy into Moroccan reality and made her dream come true.

Most of them return because of the take me away atmosphere that the owner worked so hard to create. The author leads you through fi fteen tables of unexpected twists and turns as you head to the surprise ending. Welcome inside the Third World Caf.

Book excerpt: Writer, anthropologist, and self-professing nomad Beebe Bahrami knows that walking and exploring are paramount to her sense of connection to the earth. One of her explorations took her to a small fishing village in northwestern Spain and a much-anticipated chance to walk once again but on new tributaries the pilgrimage route of the Camino de Santiago. But it was a side trip to Sarlat in southwestern France, a place called "the Frenchman's paradise" by author Henry Miller, that unexpectedly gave Bahrami much to explore and enjoy as the region worked its way into the author's heart. A travel narrative and memoir, Café Oc will delight readers with its tantalizing descriptions of French foods and wines, walks through the countryside, visits to the prehistoric painted and engraved caves, and the warm and welcoming people in the Dordogne region of France.

Accompanied by photographs taken by the author, Café Oc is also a pictorial record of places, people, and events. Over time and several lengthy visits, Bahrami found a surprising desire to settle down, to leave her "tent poles anchored in place to that precious earth."
