Ali Zán and True Love
Author: J J Garrett
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1414045239
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 534
Book Description
A scruffy Arabian colt of the mountainous Latin American outback is purchased by North American Tracer Montrose the morning his wife, Constance, angrily packs to leave him. The horse being a gift that Constance cannot check for her flight home, she delays her departure. She names him Ali Zn?and soon encounters a herd of his kin fleeing a highland inferno. Tracer unites equestrian club riders and dirt-roughened cowboys to save the animals. The mismatched bunch form a trail riding club. Meanwhile, the purchase of Napoleon and True Love causes a cramp in Ali Zns stable space. These older horses are bright and abrasive, strong and fearless, and champion the outback equine during nerve-wracking jumps, turns, and races. Tracer and Constance, rider novices, persist upon the backs of their steeds within the club arena and along the outback abyss, as well. But their horses poorly manage long-pent demands to achieve maddened equine goals. Their competitive spirits turn upon them. They find that neither rider nor trail obstruct them; that their devils must be accosted elsewhere. The youthful Ali Zn interprets this heart-rending tale by which horse and human are ridden, driven, and, sometimes, bound.

Familial Undercurrents
Author: Afsaneh Najmabadi
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 1478022396
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 133
Book Description
Not long after her father died, Afsaneh Najmabadi discovered that her father had a secret second family and that she had a sister she never knew about. In Familial Undercurrents, Najmabadi uncovers her family’s complex experiences of polygamous marriage to tell a larger story of the transformations of notions of love, marriage, and family life in mid-twentieth-century Iran. She traces how the idea of “marrying for love” and the desire for companionate, monogamous marriage acquired dominance in Tehran’s emerging urban middle class. Considering the role played in that process by late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century romance novels, reformist newspapers, plays, and other literature, Najmabadi outlines the rituals and objects---such as wedding outfits, letter writing, and family portraits---that came to characterize the ideal companionate marriage. She reveals how in the course of one generation men’s polygamy had evolved from an acceptable open practice to a taboo best kept secret. At the same time, she chronicles the urban transformations of Tehran and how its architecture and neighborhood social networks both influenced and became emblematic of the myriad forms of modern Iranian family life.

The Spirit of Music
Author: Victor L. Wooten

ISBN: 0593081676
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
Grammy Award winner Victor Wooten's inspiring parable of the importance of music and the threats that it faces in today's world. We may not realize it as we listen to the soundtrack of our lives through tiny earbuds, but music and all that it encompasses is disappearing all around us. In this fable-like story three musicians from around the world are mysteriously summoned to Nashville, the Music City, to join together with Victor to do battle against the "Phasers," whose blinking "music-cancelling" headphones silence and destroy all musical sound. Only by coming together, connecting, and making the joyful sounds of immediate, "live" music can the world be restored to the power and spirit of music. A VINTAGE ORIGINAL
