Book Description
In the fog-drenched heart of London, Dr. Valerian Bane offers a unique therapy. Women haunted by unspeakable traumas seek him out, desperate for the solace he offers. "Hysteria," they called it, a disease of the female mind. But for the women of Victorian London, it was an imprisonment of their bodies. They say he can mend a broken spirit, banish the shadows that cling to a woman's soul. Yet Dr. Bane's methods are unorthodox, his cures unsettling, and his thirst for justice runs deeper than anyone could imagine. His treatment? Unconventional. His success rate? Undeniable.

Author: Philemon Niedermann
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 3711571409
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 82
Book Description
We humans experience many kinds of dreams. A paradoxical dream of the impossible, infinite possibilities, synaesthesia of the body, disembodiment of the soul, dysphoria of space and the inevitability of time. Tymon Jedynak is a lad born from a dream, who himself is a dreamer, living without a thought for yesterday or tomorrow. Whenever he wasn't fabulating about space battles on distant planets, he was either glued to the television or the pages of Jules Verne when his godmother forbade the former. It all changed one night when he was overcome by a terrible anxiety dream. Things only got more unpleasant the next day, when Tymon is roped into entering the 'forbidden room', an act which forces him to embark on a phantasmagoric journey on the fringes of dreams and lucidity. But which of these paths will he take?

Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
“Only someone who deeply loves and understands the Metropolitan Museum could deliver such madcap, funny, magical, tender, intimate fables and stories.” —Maira Kalman, artist and bestselling author of The Principles of Uncertainty From a writer who worked at the Metropolitan Museum for more than twenty-five years, an enchanting novel that shows us the Met that the public doesn't see. Hidden behind the Picassos and Vermeers, the Temple of Dendur and the American Wing, exists another world: the hallways and offices, conservation studios, storerooms, and cafeteria that are home to the museum's devoted and peculiar staff of 2,200 people—along with a few ghosts. A surreal love letter to this private side of the Met, Metropolitan Stories unfolds in a series of amusing and poignant vignettes in which we discover larger-than-life characters, the downside of survival, and the powerful voices of the art itself. The result is a novel bursting with magic, humor, and energetic detail, but also a beautiful book about introspection, an ode to lives lived for art, ultimately building a powerful collage of human experience and the world of the imagination.

Finding My Father
Author: Deborah Tannen
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 110188584X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
A #1 New York Times bestselling author traces her father’s life from turn-of-the-century Warsaw to New York City in an intimate memoir about family, memory, and the stories we tell. “An accomplished, clear-eyed, and affecting memoir about a man who is at once ordinary and extraordinary.”—Forward Long before she was the acclaimed author of a groundbreaking book about women and men, praised by Oliver Sacks for having “a novelist’s ear for the way people speak,” Deborah Tannen was a girl who adored her father. Though he was often absent during her childhood, she was profoundly influenced by his gift for writing and storytelling. As she grew up and he grew older, she spent countless hours recording conversations with her father for the account of his life she had promised him she’d write. But when he hands Tannen journals he kept in his youth, and she discovers letters he saved from a woman he might have married instead of her mother, she is forced to rethink her assumptions about her father’s life and her parents’ marriage. In this memoir, Tannen embarks on the poignant, yet perilous, quest to piece together the puzzle of her father’s life. Beginning with his astonishingly vivid memories of the Hasidic community in Warsaw, where he was born in 1908, she traces his journey: from arriving in New York City in 1920 to quitting high school at fourteen to support his mother and sister, through a vast array of jobs, including prison guard and gun-toting alcohol tax inspector, to eventually establishing the largest workers’ compensation law practice in New York and running for Congress. As Tannen comes to better understand her father’s—and her own—relationship to Judaism, she uncovers aspects of his life she would never have imagined. Finding My Father is a memoir of Eli Tannen’s life and the ways in which it reflects the near century that he lived. Even more than that, it’s an unflinching account of a daughter’s struggle to see her father clearly, to know him more deeply, and to find a more truthful story about her family and herself.
