Book Description
Sometimes we simply forget our memories. They hide in the abyss of our minds in order to protect our hearts. That's what people usually call a response of certain trauma. And here I was, writing about forgotten memories, feelings and pictures. I wrote about what it means for a heart to break, for a soul to shatter and what it is like to be a wounded child. With all love and respect, I wrote this for the wounded child that you are too. Until I Die is a collection of poetry and prose that reflect on the long-term struggles of traumatic events starting from childhood experiences and following, the conflict of identity and the hardships of feeling left out in life. This is bittersweet message to our inner children.

Words. Life is a Story - story.one
Author: Beatriz Agostini

ISBN: 3710882192
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 62
Book Description
If the world was to be defined as anything at all, then one could simply refer to words. Dependent intrinsically in the layout of symbolic letters, phrases and texts, it does not exist by itself. In their intricate garlands, lines and symbolic pictures, words are what truthfully illustrate everything that exists. Just like the reality is built upon a structure of complex paragraphs, piling into currents of principles that mold the concepts of the reality each individual person apprehends, these same words will be able to give rise to a story truly unique. When grasped by the periodic beats of a person's heart, pre-established terms can be assembled into a novel of your own.

Overwhelmed by electronic gadgets? Buried under an avalanche of e-mails? Juggling too many tasks and responsibilities? Desperately in need of a deep breath and a time-out?

The Power of Slow gives readers practical, concise directions to change the relationship they have with time and debunks the myths of multitasking, speed, and urgency as the only ways to efficiency.

The Power of Slow will help readers identify areas in need of improvement and show them how to become more efficient and less frazzled at work and at home---and live a better, more balanced life.

The Corpse Walker
Author: Liao Yiwu
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0307388379
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
The Corpse Walker introduces us to regular men and women at the bottom of Chinese society, most of whom have been battered by life but have managed to retain their dignity: a professional mourner, a human trafficker, a public toilet manager, a leper, a grave robber, and a Falung Gong practitioner, among others. By asking challenging questions with respect and empathy, Liao Yiwu managed to get his subjects to talk openly and sometimes hilariously about their lives, desires, and vulnerabilities, creating a book that is an instance par excellence of what was once upon a time called “The New Journalism.” The Corpse Walker reveals a fascinating aspect of modern China, describing the lives of normal Chinese citizens in ways that constantly provoke and surprise.
