Book Description
“With some of the most beguiling prose this side of The Ladies of Grace Adieu, Jordan Kurella’s When I Was Lost conjures visions from beyond the fields we know. Majestic, often mournful, full of dark wonder and grit, these stories bridge the gap between whimsy and modernist realism, between awe and regret and spectral terror. These are no escapist fairy romances, these are mature stories of pain, of sorrow, of irrevocable loss. And they have at their core a very real, very contemporary concern: to enchant, to reimagine, and to find a new path through the heartbreak. Some books are about magic, and some books are magic. Jordan Kurella clearly knows which is which.” —Polly Schattel, author of The Occultists and Shadowdays Traveling from werewolf-laden France to a generation ship lost among the stars, this debut collection is a dark journey beyond space and time, picking up where grace left off. Following themes of found family, untraditional relationships, and the power of love beyond all, the twelve stories are threaded together like a fever dream. A monstrous collection filled with mermaids, scorpion people, living ships, and fairies, Kurella wants us not to be afraid of what lurks in the shadow of our imagination. His stories have been described as threading the line between bleakness and hope, because he knows that life and living it is difficult, but that without hope, there’s no story at all.

When All Was Lost
Author: Amin Hammani
Publisher: Orizzonti Magrebini Edizioni
ISBN:
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
In the beginning, humanity did not understand what was about to happen. The clouds on the horizon took on vibrant colors that touched every shade of blue. No one wondered why those steel-colored cumulonimbus clouds existed; humans were too busy to stop and look at the sky. Wars continued, the number of victims increased,pollution grew, but the smoke from the chimneys showed no sign of ending. And meanwhile, the clouds moved undisturbed, sowing death and madness in their path. It all started (or, more properly, ended) like this. In 'When All Was Lost,' an apocalyptic mystery unfolds through the eyes of Gregorio, Beatrice, and Angelo, thrust into darkness as the world edges toward oblivion. Amidst skies that spell doom and a silence that drowns out hope, their journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Navigating through the remnants of a crumbling society, they face enigmatic threats and form unlikely alliances. This tale delves deep into the mysteries of survival, unity, and the indomitable will to endure in the face of the unfathomable. As they confront the unknown, the true challenge lies not in the shadows that stalk them but in the light they seek to find within.

Category : Religion

Pages : 242
Book Description
New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.
