Download or read book The Land Beyond written by Leon McCarron and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SHORTLISTED FOR THE ADVENTURE TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR AT THE EDWARD STANFORD TRAVEL WRITING AWARDS. There are many reasons why it might seem unwise to walk, mostly alone, through the Middle East. That, in part, is exactly why Leon McCarron did it. From Jerusalem, McCarron followed a series of wild hiking trails that trace ancient trading and pilgrimage routes and traverse some of the most contested landscapes in the world. In the West Bank, he met families struggling to lead normal lives amidst political turmoil and had a surreal encounter with the world's oldest and smallest religious sect. In Jordan, he visited the ruins of Hellenic citadels and trekked through the legendary Wadi Rum. His journey culminated in the vast deserts of the Sinai, home to Bedouin tribes and haunted by the ghosts of Biblical history. The Land Beyond is a journey through time, from the quagmire of current geopolitics to the original ideals of the faithful, through the layers of history, culture and religion that have shaped the Holy Land. But at its heart, it is the story of people, not politics and of the connections that can bridge seemingly insurmountable barriers.
Download or read book The Land Beyond the Horizon An African Mystic Play and Poetry written by Mark O'Doherty and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-02 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Land beyond the Horizon is a mystic play, conveying respect and understanding for diversity of religion, philosophy and spirituality. It also contains elements of Egyptian mythology and Rosicrucian philosophy, like the altruistic ideal of Bringing back the Greater Light to humanity _ which is in essence not much different from the ideal of world peace. In fact, The Land beyond the Horizon in this play symbolises just that; the long and difficult journey which humanity still has to travel, before global peace can be manifested; on a collective, macrocosmic level level, and also on an individual level. The play stipulates the philosophy that Evil exists in this world _ and even in our hearts _ but that we also have the power to vanquish Evil , by acting together in solidarity, if we are willing to identify and confront that evil. The volume also contains poetry, where Mark evokes the mystic, primordial beauty of Africa, taking you on a fantastic journey to the Land Beyond the Horizon

Download or read book The Land Beyond the Blow written by Ambrose Bierce and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-05-25 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Land Beyond the Blowis an exciting collection of short stories and personal reminiscences that satirize the US political system. Ambrose Bierce wrote about the bizarre rules and cultures of different lands. For example, in one unique story beautifully describes society's attachment to dogs where one can read about a country that worships dogs. In addition, the book contains an intriguing narrative of author's journey to a city called Nyork, which represents New York. He mocked the justice system and the capital punishment of the place, which strangely sentences people to life, for as long as possible, rather than death. The book is full of witty remarks about American life and politics that will make the readers laugh as well as push them to give a thought about society and its patterns. Bierce has wonderfully put his ideas into words throughout the work.
