Sisterhood of the Stones
Author: L.A. Boruff
Publisher: The Phantom Pen
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 537
Book Description
Sisterhood of the Stones is a delightfully funny complete paranormal series about three women thrown together by cursed stones: Citrine, Sapphire, and Onyx. The series is light on the paranormal, light on the romance, and heavy on the hilarious. The legend of the stones claims that there was a pirate and a witch who shared an undying love, but something went wrong. What? It's unclear. Fast forward a few years and Cami, Delilah, and Dr. Ember Thorn must work together to solve the unanswered mystery of Renegade Remington and the love of his life, Ariyah, or be cursed by the stones forever. Along the way, if they're open to it and very lucky, perhaps the ladies might find the loves of their lives, lasting friendship, and oh yeah, one very lovable pig. Citrine Wishes: It's inappropriate to wish for your ex-husband to be run over by a truck. Sapphire Omens: If you wish you knew what people thought of you, to be frank, you’re a fool. Onyx Interruptions: Time stops for no man, but with a little luck and a little onyx, it’ll stop for a woman.

Pages : 904
Book Description
When Firekeeper discovers that the Beast’s greatest fear has become reality, she turns to King Tedric of Hawk Haven for aid. The old king is willing to help the wolf-woman – for a price. Firekeeper’s former adversary, Melina Shield, has risen to great prominence in the neighboring land of New Kelvin. Melina’s unexpected power threatens the reputation of King Tedric’s heir apparent, Sapphire, and, through Sapphire, dreams for the new realm of Bright Haven. King Tedric’s price for helping the Beasts is that Firekeeper and Blind Seer escort Elise Archer and her handpicked diplomatic team into New Kelvin, then assist them with their investigations. The last time Firekeeper and her friends visited New Kelvin, they ended up fleeing as hunted fugitives, but this may be the least difficulty upon their return. Firekeeper is plagued with visions featuring the comet that streaks through the skies. These feed her growing sense that to continue interacting with humans will eventually lead to the transformation of the wild Beasts into nothing more than human tools. Doubt is a new enemy to Firekeeper – one that threatens even her bond with her beloved companion, the wolf, Blind Seer.

Saul Bellow and American Transcendentalism
Author: Mohammad A. Quayum
Publisher: Peter Lang
ISBN: 9780820436524
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Saul Bellow and American Transcendentalism explores Saul Bellow's moral and philosophical affinity with the writers of American transcendentalism, especially Emerson and Whitman. Its focus is on the «vintage» Bellow, or his «mature» novels, from Henderson the Rain King (1959) to The Dean's December (1982). In these novels, Bellow highlights a moral crisis, arising from humankind's despiritualization and dehumanization, which, he believes, is responsible for an ongoing dichotomy in the modern world. Bellow describes this as a dichotomy of the «Cleans» and the «Dirties», in the context of American culture. To rectify this dichotomy and redeem humankind from its current «death-ridden» state, Bellow and his protagonists advance a vision of life that corresponds to the transcendental vision of dialogue and «double consciousness», or coordination and balance. Like Emerson, they advocate, «The mid-world is best... A man is a golden impossibility; the line he must walk is a hair's breadth». Comparable to Whitman, they urge the individual to «knit the knot of contrariety» and act as «an arbiter of the diverse».

Shop Talk
Author: Philip Roth
Publisher: HMH
ISBN: 0547344899
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
The legendary author’s essays and interviews explore how fellow writers from Milan Kundera to Edna O’Brien are influenced by time, place, and politics. Writers are often deeply influenced by the time and place in which they live and write. In Shop Talk, Philip Roth, winner of a National Book Award, a Pulitzer Prize, and numerous other literary honors, explores the intimate relationship a writer’s experience has with his or her work. In a series of essays, Roth recounts his intellectual encounters with writers, discussing with them the diverse regions from which they hail and pondering the influence of locale, politics, and history on their work. Featuring luminaries such as Milan Kundera discussing Czechoslovakia; Primo Levi talking about Auschwitz; Edna O’Brien reflecting on Ireland; Isaac Bashevis Singer tackling Warsaw; Aharon Appelfeld on Bukovina; and Ivan Klíma on Prague, Roth’s conversations touch on the conditions that inspire great art, with artists as attuned to the subtleties of their societies as they are the nuances of words. Also including a portrait of Bernard Malamud, a written exchange with Mary McCarthy about Roth’s The Counterlife, and the essay “Rereading Saul Bellow,” Shop Talk is a “fascinating [glimpse] of some of the deans of postwar literature” (Los Angeles Times Book Review).

Creating Prosperity and Abundance
Author: Eliza-Jane Jackson
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0955974585
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 135
Book Description
For many people the word prosperity means financial wealth. Real and lasting prosperity goes much deeper than your bank account. True prosperity is a state of mind, not just financial success or an abundance of material goods. Abundance also means something different to each of us. Abundance applies to love, power, knowledge, material goods, spirituality, health, a sense of wellbeing, or anything else that's important to you. All of these are aspects of personal abundance. Prosperity and abundance is available to anyone who has the consciousness and ability to attract all that their heart desires. Your prosperity and abundance is only limited by your imagination. One of the most important elements of successful manifestation is 'blind faith'. It's essential to believe that you're going to achieve something that isn't currently physically present. For people new to prosperity work this can be the toughest part. I dare you to dream and believe. Who knows what you will manifest!
