Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In “I’ll Visit You As A Butterfly,” one man’s battle for life becomes a battle for death. What good is money when it can’t buy health? When there’s nothing left of love but memories, what do we live for? How much suffering can we force ourselves to withstand to avoid letting go? A wealthy old man in his cliffside home seeks answers to the universe, his past, and his lack of future in this thought-provoking, awe-inspiring short story. A bright mind in a dying disease-ridden body, he must make a choice: Will he live for two years and suffer a harrowing, painful death at the whim of a terminal illness? Or will he turn to technology to alleviate his suffering? On his laptop is the following message: YOU WILL BE ASKED TWO QUESTIONS. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY ANSWERING “YES” EACH TIME, YOU WILL DIE? Will he have the courage to find his own version of peace? And if courage fails him, will technology prevail? Dark and insightful, yet somehow hopeful, “I’ll Visit You As A Butterfly” will make you question what you think you know about life, loss, and stolen futures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Already a Butterfly is a gentle picture book tale about self-soothing practices and self-confidence beliefs. With so much to do in so little time, Mari is constantly on the move, flitting from flower to flower, practicing her camouflage poses, and planning for migration. She’s the busiest butterfly around. But does being productive mean she is happy? Mari couldn’t say. The only way she feels like a butterfly is by acting like one. Little does Mari know, the secret to feeling like herself is simply to focus her breath, find her quiet place, and follow her instincts. With the guidance of a thoughtful flower bud, Mari soon learns to meditate and appreciate that she was a butterfly all along. Acclaimed author Julia Alvarez extolls the importance of mindfulness, reflection, and self-care for young children in this gratifying picture book, stunningly illustrated by award-winning artist Raúl Colón.

Book Synopsis From Trumerica with Love by : Logan Emery Emerson
Download or read book From Trumerica with Love written by Logan Emery Emerson and published by Zabbit Rambi. This book was released on 2024-01-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in a dystopian version of present-day America, From Trumerica with Love is the story of Liam and Gemma, two souls determined to find a sliver of freedom amidst a society that thrives on fear and betrayal. In Trumerica, a superstate where truth is subjective and surveillance is omnipresent, Leader for Life Donald Trump and billionaire businessmen obliterate individuality. Through it all, Liam and Gemma plot to assassinate Trump and dream of escaping a country where propaganda trumps free speech, their joy and love challenging the very fabric of a society built on hatred and control. In the 1940s, George Orwell wrote 1984 (also published as Nineteen Eighty-Four) as a warning against totalitarianism. In today’s world, with the rise of technology and the ever-increasing control over our lives by governments and corporations, the warnings of Orwell’s novel are more relevant than ever. Reading Orwell isn’t a prerequisite for From Trumerica with Love, but he did provide its inspiration. In reimagining a chilling dystopia to a hellish version of modern-day America, Logan Emery Emerson evokes Orwell’s rage and sympathy, and above all, his belief in the transformational powers of good storytelling. From Trumerica with Love is a reminder of the evils of unbridled power and a testament to the enduring power of hope.

Book Synopsis In the Time of the Butterflies by : Julia Alvarez
Download or read book In the Time of the Butterflies written by Julia Alvarez and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2010-01-12 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2024, internationally bestselling author and literary icon Julia Alvarez's In the Time of the Butterflies is "beautiful, heartbreaking and alive ... a lyrical work of historical fiction based on the story of the Mirabal sisters, revolutionary heroes who had opposed and fought against Trujillo." (Concepción de León, New York Times) Alvarez’s new novel, The Cemetery of Untold Stories, is coming April 2, 2024. Pre-order now! It is November 25, 1960, and three beautiful sisters have been found near their wrecked Jeep at the bottom of a 150-foot cliff on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. The official state newspaper reports their deaths as accidental. It does not mention that a fourth sister lives. Nor does it explain that the sisters were among the leading opponents of Gen. Rafael Leónidas Trujillo’s dictatorship. It doesn’t have to. Everybody knows of Las Mariposas—the Butterflies. In this extraordinary novel, the voices of all four sisters--Minerva, Patria, María Teresa, and the survivor, Dedé--speak across the decades to tell their own stories, from secret crushes to gunrunning, and to describe the everyday horrors of life under Trujillo’s rule. Through the art and magic of Julia Alvarez’s imagination, the martyred Butterflies live again in this novel of courage and love, and the human costs of political oppression. "Alvarez helped blaze the trail for Latina authors to break into the literary mainstream, with novels like In the Time of the Butterflies and How the García Girls Lost Their Accents winning praise from critics and gracing best-seller lists across the Americas."—Francisco Cantú, The New York Times Book Review "This Julia Alvarez classic is a must-read for anyone of Latinx descent." —Popsugar.com "A gorgeous and sensitive novel . . . A compelling story of courage, patriotism and familial devotion." —People "Shimmering . . . Valuable and necessary." —Los Angeles Times "A magnificent treasure for all cultures and all time.” —St. Petersburg Times "Alvarez does a remarkable job illustrating the ruinous effect the 30-year dictatorship had on the Dominican Republic and the very real human cost it entailed."—Cosmopolitan.com
Book Synopsis Mr. Twee Deedle — Raggedy Ann's Sprightly Cousin by : Johnny Gruelle
Download or read book Mr. Twee Deedle — Raggedy Ann's Sprightly Cousin written by Johnny Gruelle and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2012-06-11 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr. Twee Deedle, Johnny Gruelle’s masterpiece, unjustly forgotten by history and never before reprinted since its first appearance in America’s newspapers from 1911 to 1914. The title character in the Sunday color page, Mr. Twee Deedle, is a magical wood sprite who befriends the strip’s two human children, Dickie and Dolly. Gruelle depicted a charming, fantastical child’s world, filled with light whimsy and outlandish surrealism. The artwork is among the most stunning ever to grace an Amercian newspaper page, and Gruelle’s painterly color makes every page look like it was created on a canvas. Mr. Twee Deedle stands as a bizarre time-warp: at a time when most children’s literature and kids’ comic strips were somewhat violent or starkly moralistic (the Brothers Grimm; the Katzenjammer Kids; and even Little Nemo itself, which often depicted nightmares, fears, and dangers), Twee Deedle was sensitive and whimsical. Instead of stark moralizing, it presented gentle lessons. It reads today like a work for the 21st century… indeed for all times, all ages.
Book Synopsis The Butterfly Lampshade by : Aimee Bender
Download or read book The Butterfly Lampshade written by Aimee Bender and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first novel in ten years from the author of the beloved New York Times bestseller The Particular Sadness Of Lemon Cake, a luminous, poignant tale of a mother, a daughter, mental illness, and the fluctuating barrier between the mind and the world On the night her single mother is taken to a mental hospital after a psychotic episode, eight year-old Francie is staying with her babysitter, waiting to take the train to Los Angeles to go live with her aunt and uncle. There is a lovely lamp next to the couch on which she's sleeping, the shade adorned with butterflies. When she wakes, Francie spies a dead butterfly, exactly matching the ones on the lamp, floating in a glass of water. She drinks it before the babysitter can see. Twenty years later, Francie is compelled to make sense of that moment, and two other incidents -- her discovery of a desiccated beetle from a school paper, and a bouquet of dried roses from some curtains. Her recall is exact -- she is sure these things happened. But despite her certainty, she wrestles with the hold these memories maintain over her, and what they say about her own place in the world. As Francie conjures her past and reduces her engagement with the world to a bare minimum, she begins to question her relationship to reality. The scenes set in Francie's past glow with the intensity of childhood perception, how physical objects can take on an otherworldly power. The question for Francie is, What do these events signify? And does this power survive childhood? Told in the lush, lilting prose that led the San Francisco Chronicle to say Aimee Bender is "a writer who makes you grateful for the very existence of language," The Butterfly Lampshade is a heartfelt and heartbreaking examination of the sometimes overwhelming power of the material world, and a broken love between mother and child.

Then she meets child psychologist Matthew Frazier, and thinks her days of loneliness are behind her. After a whirlwind romance, they impulsively elope, and Ava moves to Matthew’s ancestral home on St. Simons Island off the coast of Georgia. But after the initial excitement, Ava is surprised to discover that true happiness continues to elude her. There is much she doesn’t know about Matthew, including the mysterious circumstances surrounding his first wife’s death. And her new home seems to hold as many mysteries and secrets as her new husband. Feeling adrift, Ava throws herself into uncovering Matthew’s family history and that of the island, not realizing that she has a connection of her own to this place—or that her obsession with the past could very well destroy her future.

Alan Campbell tells the story of these people, and of the time he spent with them, in an imaginative, beautifully written account which looks back from a century into the future to relate a way of life that is being destroyed. In doing so, he addresses important and complex issues in current anthroplogical theory in a way which makes them accessible without sacrificing any of their subtlety.
