Everything Is Illuminated
Author: Jonathan Safran Foer
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0547523785
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. Jonathan Safran Foer's debut—"a funny, moving...deeply felt novel about the dangers of confronting the past and the redemption that comes with laughing at it, even when that seems all but impossible." (Time) With only a yellowing photograph in hand, a young man—also named Jonathan Safran Foer—sets out to find the woman who might or might not have saved his grandfather from the Nazis. Accompanied by an old man haunted by memories of the war, an amorous dog named Sammy Davis, Junior, Junior, and the unforgettable Alex, a young Ukrainian translator who speaks in a sublimely butchered English, Jonathan is led on a quixotic journey over a devastated landscape and into an unexpected past. As their adventure unfolds, Jonathan imagines the history of his grandfather’s village, conjuring a magical fable of startling symmetries that unite generations across time. As his search moves back in time, the fantastical history moves forward, until reality collides with fiction in a heart-stopping scene of extraordinary power. “Imagine a novel as verbally cunning as A Clockwork Orange, as harrowing as The Painted Bird, as exuberant and twee as Candide, and you have Everything Is Illuminated . . . Read it, and you'll feel altered, chastened—seared in the fire of something new.” — Washington Post “A rambunctious tour de force of inventive and intelligent storytelling . . . Foer can place his reader’s hand on the heart of human experience, the transcendent beauty of human connections. Read, you can feel the life beating.” — Philadelphia Inquirer

Pages : 192
Book Description
Life Illuminated is full of what I like to call my 2"×4" moments in life. The moments where my eyes were opened so wide by the truth; like literally being struck by a piece of wood to the head. Sounds painful right? Well, at times it is, but mostly, these moments are like being in the darkness of ignorance and then a giant light being turned on. A light of understanding and wisdom, talk about a light bulb moment... May you experience the same light of understanding and wisdom and be transformed from darkness to a place where the light is shining. There is no power in the author's words, but there is power in the words of God found on these pages. I hope to share with you some of the things that the Lord has used to light my path. May these words of encouragement help light your day and encourage you in your daily walk.
