Book Description
Dripping Is the glacier's fate is sealed, Such that nothing can be done, As it melts down? The puny efforts of humans Can't succeed. A phalanx of refrigerators, Making ice cubes, Would be like a picket fence, Holding back the final outcome. A paltry effort not even makes a dent, To stop the decline, As the water drips. Throughout this collection of contemporary and free-spirited lyric poetry, author Richard Edgar Zwez encourages us to delight in the wonders of nature and respect the complexity of life.

Blood and Ice

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 645
Book Description
Journalist Michael Wilde—his world recently shattered by tragedy—has come to the South Pole looking for solace and a new lease on life. But what he finds on a routine dive in the polar sea is something else entirely: the bodies of a young man and a young woman, bound with chains and sealed forever in a block of ice. Beside them is an ancient chest filled with a sinister cargo. Wilde’s search to unravel the mystery of this doomed couple will lead from the battlefields of the Crimean War to the unexplored depths of the Antarctic Ocean, where an age-old curse survives to this day. And as the ice around the lovers begins to melt, Wilde will witness what may be a miracle—or a nightmare—in the making. What is dead, it turns out, is not always gone.

Under the Glacier
Author: Halldor Laxness
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 1400034418
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Nobel laureate Halldór Laxness’s Under the Glacier is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, a wryly provocative novel at once earthy and otherworldly. At its outset, the Bishop of Iceland dispatches a young emissary to investigate certain charges against the pastor at Snæfells Glacier, who, among other things, appears to have given up burying the dead. But once he arrives, the emissary finds that this dereliction counts only as a mild eccentricity in a community that regards itself as the center of the world and where Creation itself is a work in progress. What is the emissary to make, for example, of the boarded-up church? What about the mysterious building that has sprung up alongside it? Or the fact that Pastor Primus spends most of his time shoeing horses? Or that his wife, Ua (pronounced “ooh-a,” which is what men invariably sputter upon seeing her), is rumored never to have bathed, eaten, or slept? Piling improbability on top of improbability, Under the Glacier overflows with comedy both wild and deadpan as it conjures a phantasmagoria as beguiling as it is profound.
