Book Description
The Birthmark deals with the husband's deeply negative obsession of his wife's outer appearances and what does that entail for these two young couples. The birthmark represents various things throughout the story. Two of the main representations are imperfection and mortality. American novelist and short story writer Nathaniel Hawthorne's (1804–1864) writing centers on New England, many works featuring moral allegories with a Puritan inspiration. Hawthorne has also written a few poems which many people are not aware of. His works are considered to be part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, Dark romanticism. His themes often centre on the inherent evil and sin of humanity, and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity.

Twisted Certainty
Author: Fitz
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 059530270X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
"Twisted Certainty," the latest effort from John D Fitzpatrick, once again brings newness to an art that seems to be virtually dying with today's young songwriters. Just coming off a three-song-demo-deal with the Romanian powerhouse band "VANK," John has currently turned his immediate focus toward Country music. John continues to dive further into the feelings and the emotional states of "the could, the would, and the hopeful." While other lyricists have yet to advance beyond their own scribbled notebook pads and unorganized thoughts, John continues to innovate and to dominate the world of lyrical writing through self-publishing. Other lyricists offer little more than text or, if you will, a mere black and white version of their scenery. John has word by word constructed a multi-layered pyramid of expression for the reader to explore, to discover lost treasures and to be buried in. John D Fitzpatrick is slowly becoming a widely respected voice within the music community as artists of all genres are made to listen and to hear his words. One word "Sensational!" You can find all of John's books at www.iuniverse.com.

Twelve Steps to Religionless Spirituality
Author: Ward B. Ewing
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1725279029
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
The Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous provides a spiritual program dramatically distinct from religion. Twelve Step spirituality is based on experience, not doctrine; it is pragmatic, focusing on what works and not on theory; it is centered in a community that is inclusive, welcoming all who desire to stop drinking; it seeks rigorous honesty even when that honesty involves painful questioning; and it centers upon service to the still suffering alcoholic. The power found in working the Steps is transformational, moving participants from despair to hope, from self-focused resentment to concern for others, and from angry efforts to control to gratitude for gifts received. It works for atheists and agnostics, secularists and free thinkers, Christians, Jews, Muslims, and other faiths. At a time when more and more people identify themselves as spiritual but not religious and the traditional religious institutions are in decline in Western culture, Twelve Step spirituality provides insights that can assist in the renewal and reinvigoration of our churches, synagogues, and mosques. In our time of dramatic social polarization, it can provide a foundation for bridging differences. Largely unknown outside the recovery community, this book examines how this transformative program can be relevant to today.

The Life and Work of Martin Johnson Heade
Author: Theodore E. Stebbins
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300081839
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
Martin Johnson Heade was one of the most significant American painters of the nineteenth century, creator of portraits, history and genre pictures, still lifes, ornithological studies, landscapes, and marines, and his own unique orchid and hummingbird compositions. This book brings a perspective to Heade and his works, presenting him as one of the most original and productive painters of his time. Theodore Stebbins builds on his acclaimed 1975 study of Heade, drawing on several newly discovered collections of Heade's letters and the painter's own Brazilian journal. Stebbins tells of Heade's training and early career as an itinerant portraitist and discusses his move to New York, where, under the influence of Frederic E. Church, he began painting landscapes and seascapes. He examines Heade's relationships with patrons and dealers, writers and scientists, and he sheds new light on Heade’s trips to Brazil, to the Central American tropics, and to London. And he describes Heade's move to Florida in 1883, which marked not his retirement but a final period of creativity that lasted until his death in 1904. The book includes not only an examination of Heade's life and works but also reproductions of all his 620 known paintings, including nearly 250 that have been discovered since 1975.
