Deep Inner Thoughts
Author: Esther B. Jimenez
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1504955684
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
This book is not about how to cope with grief nor about dwelling on it. It is about my own facing of the uncertainty of death. The uniqueness of this book is that, it is a confession of an ordinary woman like me. (actually this is my own confession) about pondering on how to face death gracefully and focusing on doing so, without valid reason such as suffering from terminal illness of any sort. It is indeed just plain boldness on my part. It is a challenge not to fear death, but a challenge to love death as a friend and to treat it as a blessing. My goals in this book are: to express my inner thoughts and feelings, to share my concept of death to the readers, to let the world know that there is a healthy way, a healthy approach to death and utmost-ly to spend the time given to live a "quality life".

Hemingway's Quarrel with Androgyny
Author: Mark Spilka
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 9780803235267
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
Hemingway's Quarrel with Androgyny confronts the entrenched mystique surrounding the hard drinker, bullfighter, and creator of characters steeled by their own code. Spilka stresses Hemingway's lifelong dependence on and secret identification with women, and in doing so shatters the myths of male bonding and heroic lives of "men without women." He develops the biographical, literary, and cultural implications of Hemingway's lifelong quarrel with androgyny to reveal a more psychologically complex man and writer than the mystique has allowed.
