Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get ready to live side by side with Jennie Bethune, an 18 year old woman who at her arrival from Springfield, Massachusetts to NewYork City meets Matthew Worth, a wealthy young gentleman and experience love at first sight. Both male and female readers alike will be taken over and feel their deepest agonies as they sink into a harrowing tale of love at its deepest, misery at its worst, and hardship almost beyond belief as they read this tale of suspense and, mystery. The author has set you down in the midst of a truly memorable historical incident that was credited with the expansion and growth of the United States and helped to settle the barren country in the 1600's -namely the awful years of the building of the Erie Canal, a truly large event in the spread of the young nation. It drew immigrants from Europe and beyond, eager and willing to wield picks and shovels in the harshest weather and slip and slide, frequently sinking into the slime of the dreaded area known as the Montezuma Swamps to their death. The pay of 50 cents a day to shatter the Allegheny Mountains in the way of the path of the canal was the chore of the immigrants and as they died off they were replaced by the only other available men - those occupying jail space. Prisoners, "those leeches and drunks who were a drain on the government’s coffers." Experience an interesting look at exciting past history and the road of a man and a woman whose lives are separated and lost for a heart throbbing time that the reader, no doubt, will sense the agony in real time. You wil be riveted, unable to accomplish anything beyond the want of the next thrill and suspense involved throughout the book - unable to put it down for an instant, and quite ready to immediately open it again on Chapter One.

Book excerpt: DIVDIVThree masterful tales of women in the grips of complicated and dangerous loves/divDIV The Rest of Life is comprised of three spellbinding novellas about women in love. In Immaculate Man, an agnostic New York divorcée finds herself in thrall to an unexpected passion for a Catholic priest—who is also desired by a former superior—and who becomes unmoored by the affair. Living at Home is set in London, and depicts the strange union between an English woman—a thrice-divorced doctor who works with autistic children—and an Italian man—a free-roaming journalist addicted to high-risk assignments. The title novella centers on the memories of an elderly Italian woman, recalling her days as a girl in the bloom of first love, who embarked on a suicide pact with her boyfriend, but was the only one not to follow through. /divDIV/div/div
Download or read book Near to the Wild Heart written by Clarice Lispector and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06-13 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new translation of Clarice Lispector's sensational first book tells the story of a middle class woman's life from childhood through an unhappy marriage and its dissolution to transcendence. Near to the Wild Heart, published in Rio de Janeiro in 1943, introduced Brazil to what one writer called “Hurricane Clarice”: a twenty-three-year-old girl who wrote her first book in a tiny rented room and then baptized it with a title taken from Joyce: “He was alone, unheeded, near to the wild heart of life.” The book was an unprecedented sensation — the discovery of a genius. Narrative epiphanies and interior monologue frame the life of Joana, from her middle-class childhood through her unhappy marriage and its dissolution to transcendence, when she proclaims: “I shall arise as strong and comely as a young colt.”

The collision resulted in her death. With piercing insight and stark prose, Darin Strauss leads us on a deeply personal, immediate, and emotional journey—graduating high school, going away to college, starting his writing career, falling in love with his future wife, becoming a father. Along the way, he takes a hard look at loss and guilt, maturity and accountability, hope and, at last, acceptance. The result is a staggering, uplifting tour de force. Look for special features inside, including an interview with Colum McCann.
Download or read book Sun of Devotion Stream of Blessings written by Lama Zopa Rinpoche and published by Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The key to happiness is the mind. With the mind, we can switch our life to suffering or we can switch it to happiness, just as we change television channels, choosing to watch programs about fighting and war, or peaceful things, like the nature programs people seem to enjoy. Experiencing happiness or suffering depends entirely on what we do with our mind. -Lama Zopa Rinpoche in Sun of Devotion, Stream of Blessings Sun of Devotion, Stream of Blessings is the record of a remarkable series of powerful and clear Dharma teachings given by Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche in 2014 to students at Leeds and London in the United Kingdom. Lama Yeshe Wisdom Archive⿿s editor Gordon McDougall was present throughout these teachings and has now skillfully edited them into written form that retains the flavor of a great master giving precise instructions to the students sitting before him. In Sun of Devotion, Stream of Blessings, Rinpoche explains how to take care of our minds so that our happiness is in our own hands, gives profound teachings on the Buddhist philosophy of emptiness, discusses the need for ethics and a solid refuge, shows us how to cut the root of samsara, explores why practicing certain tantras is important and especially emphasizes how the guru is the most powerful object of our Dharma practice. Gordon has presented the subjects taught by Rinpoche in the order in which they were given, beginning with a deep commentary on the meaning of sang-gyä, the Tibetan term usually translated as "buddha," and retaining the powerful method by which Rinpoche would repeatedly reinforce and expand upon earlier topics. Rinpoche also spends much time discussing the great qualities of Khadro-la (Rangjung Neljorma Khadro Namsel Drolma), the incredible being who has become so important to Tibetan Buddhism, FPMT and the world.
