A Requiem for Hania

Pages : 516
Book Description
What begins in the Warsaw Ghetto...will find the music of your heart. There are secrets in one's life that when revealed change the lives of all around. A REQUIEM FOR HANIA is a story of secrets and a story of who we are, who we were once meant to be. Inspired by a true story, based purposely on musical form, the novel follows three primary characters' journeys: In 1942, Hania Stern, a young Jewish girl, and her family are caught up in the horrors of the Warsaw Ghetto. Hania survives when so many others do not survive, escaping when others do not escape. But escape is not release. Hers is the story of a soul lost, and a soul found.In 1968, Pawel Weisz, an avant-garde composer and teacher in Warsaw, knows little of his own past; what he does know he denies. At a time of great protest, anti-Semitism and attempted change in a Communist state at a crossroads, Pawel falls in a forbidden love with a radical young Jewish violinist. But the repressive State and the times in which the two men find one another prevent any real possibility of such. Theirs is a love discovered too late, leading to loss, to great pain, to exile...while in the shadows State Security watches and waits.And in 2006, Agniezka Janiec, an actor in Warsaw, seeking herself through her art, discovers at the death of her grandmother, Hannah Kielar, secrets that push her into a journey of self-discovery: about her Grandmother, about Warsaw in the Ghetto years, about where she comes from and who she is. About those lost, and those found.A REQUIEM FOR HANIA is a story of identity, of loss, of rediscovery. It is a story about friendship, about music that illuminates our common humanity, about the pain of the past and the potential for the present and for the future. It is finally a story of where we all come from, who we are...and where we ultimately are going as we find ourselves, as we grieve and as we celebrate.

The Ice Hotel

Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
'Refreshing . . . I look forward to reading more' Alex Gray 'First-rate' Sunday Sport A seasonal hotel where murder can be made to disappear with the sun . . . Maggie Stewart travels with friends Liz and Harry to the Ice Hotel, a surreal building in Swedish Lapland constructed from ice cut from the nearby river. During the day, it is a museum housing ice sculptures, but at night it becomes a novelty hotel. Shortly after their arrival, the holiday turns into a nightmare. A near-miss snowmobile accident is followed by the discovery of the frozen body of one of the hotel's American guests. Maggie is shocked to learn that this was no accident: the American was drugged and pushed out of his sleeping bag to freeze to death in the room. As the body count rises and Maggie finds herself in mortal danger, she realises that the only person she can trust is Thomas Hallengren, the detective leading the case. But can he uncover the killer's identity before the Ice Hotel and other buildings - the Ice Chapel and Ice Theatre - melt back into the river, taking the clues with them? Praise for Hania Allen 'A fresh new find for crime fans' Sunday Post 'Nicely nasty in all the right places . . . The story rattles along until bringing the curtain down with an unnerving twist' Craig Robertson 'Captivating characters and an intriguing plot. A great new find for crime fans' Lin Anderson 'Pitch-perfect . . . a witty, tense crime novel written in a highly readable style' Russel D McLean

Ganna Walska
Author: Hania Tallmadge
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780964521315
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
The portraits of Ganna Walska span most of the twentieth century. Recording her beauty were famous artists from the Belle Époque, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and the Modern eras-they also span several countries and continents. She lived fully in an interesting period of history and knew a great many people. As she writes in her autobiography Always Room at the Top, "My life has touched the lives of people in almost every country on the globe." The lives of people from Poland, Russia, France, England, and the United States were intertwined with hers. It was an age of portraits, when one had as many portraits painted as one could afford and fit into one's personal schedule. For decades Ganna Walska was busy with her opera career and if not for that we probably would have had a dozen more portraits, as artists loved to paint her dazzling beauty. Portrait painters were the darlings of society. Artists, such as the Italian painter Giovanni Boldini, were often begged to paint portraits. The opposite was true for Ganna-with many artists clamoring to portray her image. Those were the days when to be without several family portraits in the living room would have seemed disastrous.While Ganna may not have sat for as many portraits as other men and women of her time, the diversity of the artists and the range of her portraits are unusual and unique. From Poland to Russia to France, and from New York to California, she-in one way or another-knew a number of significant artists and celebrities that books are now written about. There is even a movie that includes her attorney Phelan Beale (Grey Gardens), not to mention biographies about several of her husbands. On the other hand, there are those who claim to have known Ganna Walska in their autobiographies simply for recognition's sake, but who never knew her at all.Ganna's sense of theater and drama for the instant impact-her philosophy of "the bigger the better"-translated into jewelry, portraits, and gardens. She lived a long and vivid life that surpassed all of her contemporaries.
