Book Description
This collection of prose and poetry is three years in the making. It is a book of sorrows, high hopes, good and bad days, and memories—either to be forgotten or remembered. This is a journey of life and its bittersweet misadventures—shards turned into art. Confessions that were whispered or held within the most bottomless abyss of one’s heart and soul; it is a book that explores the corners of one’s mind where darkness often finds its comfort. A life of solitude, disconnection, poetry, books, literature, and imaginary worlds created as haven—to temporarily escape this world and all that comes with it. When you read this book, I hope you will think that what you hold is a life—living, beating, moving, and having dreams. Hold it gently; thread it slowly and carefully. Sink into the words, thoughts, and experiences. And when sundown commences, you will realize that after all you have been through, life is still worth living.

Travel, Time, and Space in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Time
Author: Albrecht Classen
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110610965
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 724
Book Description
Research on medieval and early modern travel literature has made great progress, which now allows us to take the next step and to analyze the correlations between the individual and space throughout time, which contributed essentially to identity formation in many different settings. The contributors to this volume engage with a variety of pre-modern texts, images, and other documents related to travel and the individual's self-orientation in foreign lands and make an effort to determine the concept of identity within a spatial framework often determined by the meeting of various cultures. Moreover, objects, images and words can also travel and connect people from different worlds through books. The volume thus brings together new scholarship focused on the interrelationship of travel, space, time, and individuality, which also includes, of course, women's movement through the larger world, whether in concrete terms or through proxy travel via readings. Travel here is also examined with respect to craftsmen's activities at various sites, artists' employment for many different projects all over Europe and elsewhere, and in terms of metaphysical experiences (catabasis).

Expositions of the Psalms 1-32 (Vol. 1)
Author: Saint Augustine (of Hippo)
Publisher: New City Press
ISBN: 1565481402
Category : Bible
Languages : en
Pages : 462
Book Description
"As the psalms are a microcosm of the Old Testament, so the Expositions of the Psalms can be seen as a microcosm of Augustinian thought. In the Book of Psalms are to be found the history of the people of Israel, the theology and spirituality of the Old Covenant, and a treasury of human experience expressed in prayer and poetry. So too does the work of expounding the psalms recapitulate and focus the experiences of Augustine's personal life, his theological reflections and his pastoral concerns as Bishop of Hippo."--Publisher's website.

Picked-Up Pieces
Author: John Updike
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 0679645861
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 545
Book Description
In John Updike’s second collection of assorted prose he comes into his own as a book reviewer; most of the pieces picked up here were first published in The New Yorker in the 1960s and early ’70s. If one word could sum up the young critic’s approach to books and their authors it would be “generosity”: “Better to praise and share,” he says in his Foreword, “than to blame and ban.” And so he follows his enthusiasms, which prove both deserving and infectious: Kierkegaard, Proust, Joyce, Dostoevsky, and Hamsun among the classics; Borges, Nabokov, Grass, Bellow, Cheever, and Jong among the contemporaries. Here too are meditations on Satan and cemeteries, travel essays on London and Anguilla, three very early “golf dreams,” and one big interview. Picked-Up Pieces is a glittering treasury for every reader who likes life, books, wit—and John Updike.
