Book Description
This book is a subjective account of a person’s life journeys. It is not a biography and is based on the content of social discrimination that persists in our society. The purpose for writing this story is just to acknowledge the readers that although we are in the technical world but somehow still adapted to our old stereotypes pattern. The idea for writing this book is to make us all aware of the fact that although we all agree that men and women are equal in all respect, yet the reality is far from true. With the growth of education, we too some extent have changed our mindset and women have also been given freedom of expression and equality as well as the right to be educated. Various prestigious positions at this period are also held by women but still, we are unable to break our old stereotype pattern. In the modern world too whenever the first time a woman is expecting a baby everyone wants that it should be a boy child. Not only this the people go on trying until they have a boy child. Some relate this desire to the religious concept, some to hierarchical and some for-security purpose at the old age. The book is not about a man or a woman but about the individuality, the identity, and the inner happiness that a human being perceives and which is much more than its gender, caste, or creed. The idea to write this book is not to bring readers attention that still our society is male dominating or desiring male community but to focus the attention that it does not matter whether we are a man or a woman but above all lies an individual, a human being and a true soul.

Book Description
Elisabeth Tonnard's In This Dark Wood is a study of urban alienation in America. In a haunting, modern-gothic style, it pairs images of people walking alone in nighttime city streets with 90 different English translations, collected by Tonnard, of the famous first lines of Dante's Inferno: "Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita / mi ritrovai per una selva oscura / ché la diritta via era smarrita." ("In the middle of the journey of our life / I found myself in a dark wood / for the straight way was lost"). The images were selected from the Joseph Selle collection at the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, New York, which contains over a million negatives from a company of street photographers who worked in San Francisco from the 1940s to the 70s. This edition is a reprint of a work originally self-published in 2008.

The Summer I Found Myself
Author: Colleen French
Publisher: Kensington Books
ISBN: 1496729633
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
In Colleen French’s heartfelt summer read, a Delaware oceanside cottage is the perfect setting for a season of surprising lessons about how much there is to gain—when you finally let go . . . In the last two years, English professor Ellen Tolliver has weathered heartache with grace—including an unwelcome divorce and losing her parents. In her more honest moments, Ellen might admit that she’s sick of loss. She longs to stretch and grow, to truly fill her days. Maybe this year, she’ll have something to recount in her Christmas letter other than her son’s travel adventures. Maybe she’ll be too busy to even write a Christmas letter. On impulse, Ellen invites her ailing best friend, Lara, to spend the summer with her at the Delaware beach house she inherited from her parents. Lara can relax on the big front porch after chemo while Ellen readies the house for sale. But Lara has plans too—she’d like to help Ellen discover who she is, or better yet, who she can still become. At Lara’s urging, Ellen joins a local writer’s group, tries online dating, and mingles with the new friends Lara brings home from her support group. She forgoes white wine (won’t stain if you spill it!) for red and eats French fries for breakfast. She even flirts with the local bookstore owner, a handsome, sun-kissed, younger man. And as she embraces the freedom that comes with breaking her own rules, she wonders if it’s not just her past that lies in this beloved quirky town, but her future too . . .
