Book Description
In #1 New York Times bestselling author Alex Flinn's modern and mysterious retelling of Snow White, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and true love doesn't necessarily mean Prince Charming. Celine's life is the stuff fairy tales are made of. She's beautiful, talented, and brave. Unfortunately, her tale comes complete with a wicked stepmother! When Violet steps into Celine's life, everything changes and weird things begin to happen to her—bizarre accidents, strange illnesses, and rabid animal attacks. Celine doesn't feel safe anywhere. It's almost as if some hateful witch is out to get her. And there is. Violet has been waiting all her life to have Celine's father to herself. Getting rid of his gorgeous daughter is child's play for a witch as powerful as she is. Happy-ever-after isn't enough for Violet. She wants to be the fairest of them all, and Celine is in the way . . . but not for long. Forced to take refuge with her friend Goose and his family, Celine gives up everything she loves and goes deep undercover. But will it be enough to fool Violet, or will Celine's fate be decided by a reflection in a magic mirror? And where do you find Prince Charming in Miami anyway? Mirrored is a modern retelling of Snow White—told from the points of view of Violet, Celine, and Goose—with all the magic and mystery readers will love.

Mirror, Mirror
Author: Mark Pendergrast
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 0786729902
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
Of all human inventions, the mirror is perhaps the one most closely connected to our own consciousness. As our first technology for contemplation of the self, the mirror is arguably as important an invention as the wheel. Mirror Mirror is the fascinating story of the mirror's invention, refinement, and use in an astonishing range of human activities -- from the fantastic mirrored rooms that wealthy Romans created for their orgies to the mirror's key role in the use and understanding of light. Pendergrast spins tales of the 2,500year mystery of whether Archimedes and his "burning mirror" really set faraway Roman ships on fire; the medieval Venetian glassmakers, who perfected the technique of making large, flat mirrors from clear glass and for whom any attempt to leave their cloistered island was punishable by death; Isaac Newton, whose experiments with sunlight on mirrors once left him blinded for three days; the artist David Hockney, who holds controversial ideas about Renaissance artists and their use of optical devices; and George Ellery Hale, the manic-depressive astronomer and telescope enthusiast who inspired (and gave his name to) the twentieth century's largest ground-based telescope. Like mirrors themselves, Mirror Mirror is a book of endless wonder and fascination.

Book Description
In "The Hours of Youth, the author tires to capture an Eastern flavor of romantic intimacy with the use of rich lyricism. This can be appreciated in the rhythm and powerful imagery composed in the love poems. When coupled with the mystery of the unnamed Beloved who appears in the poems, an ecstatic state of passion, full of joy, harmony and inner peace is created. There are many patterns of themes woven into the poetry which depict romance and youth as universal desires for something greater than ourselves, which when surrendered to the powers of, act as a sort of spiritual energy that draw us closer to our true essence and being. The poetry is composed as a sort of lyrical symphony, meant to transform the reader and listener alike; to take them out of themselves and to make them drunk with the True and Eternal. It further intends to create a tapestry of meaning, language and music and in so doing enkindle a bright flame of energy, tension, imagery and lucidity in the mind of each. The poems are an attempt to rekindle a fire within us, to achieve transcendent awareness of our emotions and affections and thus break free from the mold of solitude to a greater and more life-enhancing whole.

Overtures

Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1449073719
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
The search for the love of your life ends when you find that which you seek reflected back to you in your chosen mate, thus making you feel whole. In "Overtures," read how a post-college coming of age trip to Europe and a chance meeting, develops into the romance they never thought was possible. In "Overtures," their experiences together allow the main characters the opportunity to seek out love at a time and location when and where neither of them expected to find love, high in the Bavarian Alps, and during the Cold War. Berlin is a city divided and these young lovers find ways to escape from their travels and discover that the truth in their hearts is love. Every day, we all have the chance to identify the fork in the road of our lives. The key is to know when you are standing at that pivotal moment and choose the direction for your life that is the best life choice for you. For Fiona, it was the ability to live out the other fork, the path not chosen, door number 2. During the reading of her diary, while although it was mostly true, she let herself live out the opposite choices already made, and in her mind she knew that she had made the right choices too. Will you?
