Download or read book The Magic Journey written by John Nichols and published by Holt Paperbacks. This book was released on 2013-12-10 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning forty years, the second book in John Nichols's New Mexico trilogy, The Magic Journey, tells the tale of how relentless progress transformed a rural backwater into a boomtown. Boom times came to the forgotten little southwestern town of Chamisaville just as the rest of America was in the Great Depression. They came when a rattletrap bus loaded with stolen dynamite blew sky-high, leaving behind a giant gushing hot spring. Within minutes, the town's wheeler-dealers had organized, and within a year, Chamisaville was flooded with tourists and pilgrims, and the wheeler-dealers were rich. At first, it was a magic time for Chamisaville—almost as if every day were a holiday. But the euphoria gradually dissipated, and the land-hungry developers, speculators, and interlopers moved in. Finally, the day came when Chamisaville's people found themselves all but displaced, their children no longer heirs to their land or their tradition. With mounting intensity, The Magic Journey reaches a climax that is tragically foreordained. A sensitive, vital, and honest chronicle of life in America's Southwest, it is also an incisive commentary on what America has become on its road to progress. The Magic Journey is part of John Nichols's New Mexico trilogy, which includes The Milagro Beanfield War and The Nirvana Blues.

Download or read book City of Time and Magic written by Paula Brackston and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Xanthe meets Brackston's most famous heroine, Elizabeth Hawksmith from The Witch's Daughter, in this crossover story with all the "historical detail, village charm, and twisty plotting" of the Found Things series (Publishers Weekly). City of Time and Magic sees Xanthe face her greatest challenges yet. She must choose from three treasures that sing to her; a beautiful writing slope, a mourning brooch of heartbreaking detail, and a gorgeous gem-set hat pin. All call her, but the wrong one could take her on a mission other than that which she must address first, and the stakes could not be higher. While her earlier mission to Regency England had been a success, the journey home resulted in Liam being taken from her, spirited away to another time and place. Xanthe must follow the treasure that will take her to him if he is not to be lost forever. Xanthe is certain that Mistress Flyte has Liam and determined to find them both. But when she discovers Lydia Flyte has been tracking the actions of the Visionary Society, a group of ruthless and unscrupulous Spinners who have been selling their talents to a club of wealthy clients, Xanthe realizes her work as a Spinner must come before her personal wishes. The Visionary Society is highly dangerous and directly opposed to the creed of the Spinners. Their actions could have disastrous consequences as they alter the authentic order of things and change the future. Xanthe knows she must take on the Society. It will require the skills of all her friends, old and new, to attempt such a thing, and not all of them will survive the confrontation that follows.
Book Synopsis The Magic Lantern of Marcel Proust by : Howard Moss
Download or read book The Magic Lantern of Marcel Proust written by Howard Moss and published by Paul Dry Books. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[The Magic Lantern of Marcel Proust] reduces the ungainly and intricately designed masterpiece to its shape, and with hardly a wasted word...The paragraphs on habit and memory are truly wonderful—wonderful as explication, as psychology, and as philosophy."—John Updike "Almost everything Moss says seems to me right, illuminating, and new. This is the book of a mature and individual mind and sensibility, with a deep experience of moral, social, psychological, and aesthetic values which is rare among critics." —George D. Painter "A moving and inspiring book. Moss clears away dark corners, clarifies motivations, and places the huge work within the reader's perspective. A book of great value to the scholar and the general reader." —Publishers Weekly "Remembrance of Things Past is more than a novel; it is a work in which a single person's life is transformed into a mythology, with its own pantheon of gods, its own religious rituals, and its own moral laws. A total vision, it does not rely on any system outside itself for support. It is as if Dante had set out to write the Paradiso and the Inferno utilizing only the facts of his own existence without any reference to Christianity...Other novelists describe or invent worlds. Remembrance of Things Past is an entire universe created and interpreted by Marcel Proust." — from Chapter 1 "Moss lays out the sweeping claims and overarching structure of Remembrance of Things Past—the significance of Swann's Way and the Guermantes Way, or why there are such long party scenes—and is equally good at bringing to light all sorts of tiny, revealing details." — from the new Foreword by Damion Searls

Book Synopsis A Magical Journey with Carlos Castaneda by : Margaret Runyan Castaneda
Download or read book A Magical Journey with Carlos Castaneda written by Margaret Runyan Castaneda and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carlos Castaneda burst onto the academic and cultural scene in 1968 when he published the first of four books detailing his supposed apprenticeship with a Yaqui Indian sorcerer named Don Juan. While academic critics contend Castaneda invented Don Juan, believers say the fog surrounding his existence express the very ideals that Castaneda attributed to his apprenticeship. Little is known of the Peruvian claiming to be Don Juan's apprentice, but in addition to leading a generation into a mystical otherworld, Carlos Castaneda was also a man. Married to him for thirteen years was Margaret Runyan Castaneda. A Magical Journey with Carlos Castaneda reads partly like a love story, partly like a tell-all account of a celebrity writer. Margaret Castaneda concentrates on the years leading up to her marriage in 1960. It was then Margaret and Carlos explored many of the ideas -- from controlling dreams to using hallucinogenic mushrooms -- that he claims to have learned from Don Juan. Nevertheless, Margaret Castenada believes her husband was indeed a sorcerer, and she still loves him. She insists Castaneda's academic critics miss the point. "I'm willing to accept Don Juan as a spiritual teacher, and it really doesn't matter if he's not real." But the role she claims -- in developing the ideas Carlos purports to be Don Juan's -- ought to be recognized, she says, so she wrote this book.

Download or read book Epic Stories written by Mirela Roznoveanu and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-06-21 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the human being duty and what is the source of my restlessness, of my metaphysical impatience? Could it be that exile has made me a woman of no fixed abode? These questions are coming from a woman with hybrid origins who lived in a communist dictatorship country; fought injustice and censorship and was punished by the secret police; was involved in Romania’s 1989 Revolution; witnessed the post-communist nomenclature and secret police stealing back the country; wrote the history of the world fiction, a comparative study in Romanian; at the age of 44 she left both her home and her language behind and settled into the US and into English as she saw herself as an exile not just from her country but from her mother tongue too; founded GlobaLex, an iconic research tool, at the NYU School of Law Hauser Global Program; and has collected multiple honors in Romania and in the US, including Romania’s Officer of the National Order for Faithful Service. She uses her European literary references as an enhancement for her range of American tonalities. The daughter of Hrisula Limona, a woman belonging to an ancient Armân/Vlach clan from the Pindus Mountains, and Iancu Roznowski, of Polish descent, whose ancestors once lived at the Imperial Court of Habsburgs in Vienna, Mirela Roznoveanu was born on April 10, 1947 in the Kingdom of Romania. A few months later (December 1947) the Communists forced Romania’s King to abdicate and the country surrendered to the Communist USSR. Mirela lives in many languages at once and multiple expressions of literary forms. She is a cosmopolitan writer. Her slogan is “I am curious therefore I am”. For Mirela forgetting is an impossible task and she turns this inability into memorable stories. Her knowledge of philosophy, fiction writing, literary criticism and theory is endlessly rich. Mirela is not only a literary critic, novelist, and a poet but also a journalist and an intellectual with an incisive intelligence and a great sense of social justice. Epic Stories gathers for the first time under the same covers all Mirela Roznoveanu’s literary voices from poetry and literary criticism to journalism, fiction, and travel writing. The reader becomes a witness and a participant into the making of a new life in exile and of the transformation of a foreign language into one that becomes part of the writer’s native language.

It was also about self-discovery, about finding the magic and promise within himself. Milo goes on a journey that changes him forever. When he comes home, he brings with him the lessons he learned and the memories he made. He knows that his house is now full of stories and events that will help him plan trips in the future. "A Mouse's Magical Journey" shows us that life's real magic isn't in the special places we go, but in the guts, friends, and self-confidence we gain along the way. Milo's story is a great way to remind us to accept our own paths, enjoy the beauty of nature, and work hard to reach our goals. How the story started: Milo, a curious mouse who liked to try new things, used to live in a quiet little hole under a big oak tree. Milo's mind was always racing with ideas and his heart was full of dreams. Milo's small house under the big oak tree had always been a warm and safe place for him, but his spirit of adventure made him want more. Outside the safe walls of his burrow, he dreamed of wide landscapes, strange animals, and exciting experiences. The outside world drew him in with its undiscovered places and wonders. Every day, he would look at the horizon and think about the sights and sounds he would soon see and hear. His longing grew greater with every passing second. Milo would often spend hours up in the tree listening to the wise old owl tell stories. The owl told the mouse stories about faraway places, strange creatures, and exciting adventures. Milo's heart was set on fire by these stories, which gave him a burning desire to learn and find out more. He dreamed of going on adventures through beautiful forests, up high mountains, and across huge seas. His mind would come up with amazing stories about animals that could talk, fairies, and finding secret treasures deep inside old ruins. His heart ached with the need to see these things for himself. Milo knew that one day he would die. He thought that fate would give him the chance to go on a wonderful journey. He was really looking forward to that day. He spent his evenings sitting on a windowsill and staring at the stars as if they were the key to his dreams. When he thought about the adventures he could have in the great unknown, his heart would beat faster. The mouse's small home became both a source of comfort and a source of worry. Even though he liked how warm and safe it made him feel, he couldn't help but feel hemmed in. The tight walls were getting in their way, and the hole that used to be his safe place had turned into a prison. He wanted to stretch his hands, get some fresh air, and feel the grass under his feet. Milo's desire to learn about the world got stronger every day, which made him more creative and determined. He spent hours working on his feelings and instincts so that he would be ready for his next trip. He would climb the tree limbs to get better at moving quickly and using his hands. He would look at maps and spend a lot of time following the winding roads that led to new and interesting places. His travels gave him the energy to do everything he did. As the seasons changed, Milo could feel that his big trip was coming up. The air seemed to buzz with a strange kind of energy, and it carried hints of what could happen. It was as if the whole universe had worked together to make his dreams come true and set the stage for his amazing journey. Milo looked forward to the day when he would no longer live in his tiny house and the whole world would be his playground. He knew his chance to go on a big adventure was coming up, and he couldn't wait to spread his tiny wings and fly into the great unknown. Milo woke up from a warm nap on a beautiful morning as the sun's golden rays shone through the oak tree's leaves. As he stretched and rubbed his tired eyes, he couldn't believe what he saw. Just outside his door, a shining golden key was hidden between the velvety petals of a flower that was growing. Milo's heart skipped a beat as he ran for the key, his small paws shivering with joy. He carefully picked it up and felt its weight in his paw. The key sparkled and shone, and the early light made a gold dance on it. Milo's whiskers twitched in wonder as he tried to figure out where this mysterious key came from and what secrets it held. He knew that this wasn't just any old key. It had a feeling of magic and wonder that caught his attention. Milo's mind raced as he thought about all the things he could do once he got through the mysterious gate. Milo thought about where the key came from while his heartbeat in his chest. Who did he get it from? Why is this happening? Was it a gift from a wise old owl or a word from the fairies in the woods? Milo's mind was full of questions, but he knew one thing for sure: he had been chosen for something amazing.
