Destiny's Journey
Author: Alfred Döblin
Publisher: Plunkett Lake Press
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
Destiny's Journey is a memoir reconstructed partly from notebooks that Döblin kept from the time he worked in the French Ministry of Information in the spring of 1940 and partly written without notes in Los Angeles where he took refuge during the Second World War. It tells the personal and generational story of the flight of Jewish and anti-Nazi intellectuals from Europe to America, their fear and frustration, isolation, and inability to work. Döblin’s story differs from that of other Jewish intellectuals and artists in that his family converts to Catholicism in Los Angeles. Unlike most of them, he returns to Europe as an officer with the French forces and works on denazifying German literature. The conversion narrative bridges the departure from and return to Europe. To critic John Simon, “the latter part of the book often reads like a shrill piece of Christian homiletics. But even this is not without interest, as it traces the transformation of an anarchic outsider into a dogmatic insider.” “The first part of ‘Destiny's Journey’ [about] Döblin's departure from Paris [in] 1940... is magisterial: acidly observed, saturated in telling detail, grimly comic and harrowing... with an exemplary introduction by Peter Demetz... an important, nourishing book” — John Simon, The New York Times

Book Description
Desy was part Organic, part Genetic. She had been created in a lab, and looked nothing like her family. She hated the fact that she looked different from her brothers. She grew up listening to her brothers tell a family legend that had been handed down through many generations. The legend promised that someday a brilliant orb of light would appear. And, on that day a mystical transformation would take place. A selected ancestor of days long forgotten would find a special person, and together they would travel to a place beyond tomorrow. Now, Desy's world was about to come to an end. It had been abused for too many generations, and there was no longer any hope for a future. As Desy sat and cried under a scraggly tree, she unknowingly wrapped her fingers around a shiny stone fragment. Suddenly, her world spun and disappeared, leaving her swirling inside a purple mist. When she stopped spinning, she found herself just beyond tomorrow.

Destiny's Obligation
Author: J. Kannegieter
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1412043654
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
We are intuitively interested in the history and future of human civilization. Most people sense that the distant future will not be determined by fantastical circumstances sometimes depicted in contemporary Science Fiction, but rather by decisions made by us and our descendants. Destiny's Obligation is a realistic tale of intense drama on Earth and in Space, set in the 29th century, when typical human fallibility and selfish territorial interests have destroyed civilization in most places. The principals are part of a group of space travelers who return to Earth after a 600-year voyage to a nearby star system. What these descendants of the original explorers find is as much a surprise to them as it will be to the reader. They cannot leave and must first deal with the aggressive inhabitants of a large earth-satellite. They visit Earth eventually and play a significant role in defeating the feuds that are threatening the survival of human society everywhere.

Voyage in Destiny

Pages : 213
Book Description
Every one of us has a destiny. Writing this book is part of my destiny that places knowledge among the priorities of my work. This text is dedicated to what the Masters of Light of high level have been transmitting to me for around three years. Its main feature is to make man understand that we are at a moment in our history in which we need to return to true knowledge, or more so, to a way of seeing and interpreting the reality of creation which does not start solely from mans point of view, but from a wider vision which comes from the spirit world. This book talks about a re-opening to a different way of knowing and begins to retrieve some aspects of this true knowledge. Among them, certain tools of knowledge shall be rediscovered such as the voyages of the mind in a non-rational setting or intuition or the recognition and interpretation of signs which a wider reality continually shows us. The main features of human knowledge will be analyzed, its limits, its openings and the urgings it is subjected to in order to continuously exceed itself (miracles, the sense of mystery). It attains the understanding of what should be true knowledge, the use of the symbol and the possibility of fitting into a time which is beyond the linear time we are so used to. Some aspects of this knowledge such as the mental and energetic dynamics of thought, a new concept of truth, a new concept of the relationship between good and evil, love, death, union and path, will be introduced. This book should entice us to intuit the existence of a much vaster Creation than the one we are used to and to lay the basis for a more correct interpretation of it.

Book Description
Sir Walter Raleigh—soldier, explorer, adventurer, lover of Queen Elizabeth—emerges from the pages of history and myth, full-blooded, passionate, and profoundly human. After unjustly languishing for years in the Tower, Raleigh undertakes one final voyage in search of gold. On his doomed quest he contends with Spanish forces, mutiny, pirates, court intrigue, and disease, all under the shadow of the executioner's blade awaiting him back home.

Pages : 168
Book Description
This novel aims to convey to readers the characteristics that have made these two peoples great, which although so different from each other have recognized themselves as one great soul. Ulfr, son of the Viking King, and Thorald, the only son of a very wealthy man Jarl, had bonded as children, like their fathers before them, by the oath of brotherhood. At the age of 16, following atrocious retaliation by Thorald to avenge his father's death, the King orders the two young men to leave for a long journey at sea. During the crossing they are suddenly caught in the relentless fury of nature that endangers their lives, and risks sinking their ship, Knorr, with all the crew. But fate has something different in store for them, and they reach the shores of a new, rich and fertile land: America. The confrontation with the Natives turns out to be the most important for both peoples, so different from each other, yet at the same time similar in pride and moral integrity. It is a meeting that radically changes the lives of some of them. This is a journey into a world that is now lost, where Love and Respect are the fundamental foundations of the natural right to live of the human being. Because only then is there union with everything! Translator: Barbara Maher PUBLISHER: TEKTIME
