Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O amor à poesia ressignifica os encontros. Sobretudo os encontros felizes em vida celebrada. Na singularidade poética de Marco Lucchesi, esses alcances parecem se dar naturalmente. Nascem da expansão de fronteiras idiomáticas e culturais próprias da atitude do poeta. Criador de geografias plurais da palavra. Traduções conectoras de longínquas terras em sedutora erudição. Aproximações entre mundos (im)possíveis. Este belo livro resulta de outro desses percursos nomadistas do poeta, incensado pelos aromas do Oriente dessa vez à luz da Índia. Ao longo de todo um cenário de encontros com alunos e importantes poetas e intelectuais representativos de suas respectivas línguas de expressão hindi, urdu e bangla, além do português e do inglês, consolidam-se as escolhas poético-tradutórias desta antologia. Tais delicados movimentos nômades parecem inevitáveis na obra de Marco Lucchesi. (Re)nasceres poéticos de agudos encontros. Felizes encontros. Agudas também as vozes tradutórias dos poemas desta antologia breve, mas tão especial, organizada por Márcia Fusaro e Sonya Gupta. Renato Rezende na tradução para o inglês, Mangalesh Dabral para o idioma hindi, Anisur Rahman para urdu e Anuradha Acharjee para bangla traduzem e aproximam em terras distantes a voz plural do poeta. Bem-vinda iniciativa! Lucchesi é poeta do mundo e pelo mundo merece ser lido. The love of poetry gives new meaning to encounters. Especially happy encounters in celebrated life. In Marco Lucchesi's poetic singularity, these ranges seem to occur naturally. They are born from the expansion of idiomatic and cultural boundaries typical of the poet's attitude. Creator of plural geographies of the word. Connecting translations of distant lands in seductive scholarship. Approaches between (im)possible worlds. This beautiful book is the result of another of the poet's nomadic paths, incensed by the aromas of the East this time in the light of India. Throughout a scenario of meetings with students and important poets and intellectuals representing their respective languages of expression, Hindi, Urdu and Bangla, in addition to Portuguese and English, the poetic-translational choices of this anthology are consolidated. Such delicate nomadic movements seem inevitable in Marco Lucchesi's work. Poetic (re)births of acute encounters. Happy encounters. The translational voices of the poems in this short but so special anthology, organized by Márcia Fusaro and Sonya Gupta, are also acute. Renato Rezende in English translation, Mangalesh Dabral for Hindi, Anisur Rahman for Urdu and Anuradha Acharjee for Bangla translate and bring the poet's plural voice to distant lands. Welcome initiative! Lucchesi is a poet of the world and deserves to be read around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ambitious man and his adoring daughter are separated and estranged by an ocean and by the tides of history in this “marvelous” novel (Los Angeles Times). For Anna Schoene, growing up in the magical world of Shanghai in the 1930s creates a special bond between her and her father. He is the son of missionaries, a smuggler, and a millionaire who leads a charmed but secretive life. When the family flees to Los Angeles in the face of the Japanese occupation, he chooses to stay, believing his connections and luck will keep him safe. He’s wrong—but he survives, only to again choose Shanghai over his family during the Second World War. Anna and her father reconnect late in his life, when she finally has a family of her own, but it is only when she discovers his extensive journals that she is able to fully understand him and the reasons for his absences. The Distant Land of My Father is a “beautiful” novel “for everyone who has ever felt himself in exile from any beloved place, or a time that can never return” (The Washington Post Book World). “Seamlessly weaves together Anna’s own memories with those of her father, gleaned from the journals . . . An elegant, refined story of families, wartime, and the mystique of memory.” —Kirkus Reviews “Vivid with details of prewar Shanghai and Los Angeles.” —Publishers Weekly “Lush and epic.” —San Jose Mercury News “Remarkable . . . A moving tale of love and the possibility of forgiveness.” —Library Journal

Book excerpt: Originally published in 2005, That Distant Land brings together twenty–three stories from the Port William Membership. Arranged in their fictional chronology, the book is not an anthology so much as it is a coherent temporal mapping of this landscape over time, revealing Berry’s mastery of decades of the life lived alongside this clutch of interrelated characters bound by affection and followed over generations. This volume combines the stories found in The Wild Birds (1985), Fidelity (1992), and Watch with Me (1994), together with a map and a charting of the complex and interlocking genealogies.

Book excerpt: Haunting postcard images of the non-Western world from a century ago. The antique postcards depicted here were acquired in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by Western tourists, business people, traders, and colonialists. The circumstances in which the cards were sent, and the details of those who sent them, are largely lost. Yet the audience for collecting them has enjoyed a spectacular growth in recent years and includes not only those with the collecting instinct or the desire to travel but also artists, photographic historians, fashion and jewelry specialists, and designers everywhere. Once it was believed that by taking someone's portrait you stole that person's soul. Here, the human subjects have a powerful presence because they express a deep-seated connection with the land and customs that gave them their identities. Their stories are implicit in their eyes, their costumes, and their postures. Reproduced with complete fidelity, these postcards take us on a magical journey across the world in five travelogues, depicting Asia, the Arab Lands, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania. The book is introduced by one of the greatest and most successful travel writers of our time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late fall of 1095 Pope Urban II gave a speech in Clermont, France and set all of Europe into motion. As many as a hundred and fifty thousand people eventually responded to the call, leaving everything they knew behind to undertake what appeared to be a fool’s mission: marching several thousand miles into enemy territory to reconquer Jerusalem for Christendom. Against all odds they succeeded, creating a Christian outpost in the heart of the Islamic world that lasted for the better part of two centuries. Perhaps no other period in history is as misunderstood as the Crusades, and in this fast-paced account, bestselling author Lars Brownworth presents the entire story, from the first clash of Christendom and Islam in the dusty sands of Yarmouk, to the fall of the last crusader state. Along the way he introduces the reader to an exotic world peopled by mighty emperors, doomed Templars, grasping generals, and ambitious peasants. Some of the most famous names of the Middle Ages - Richard the Lionheart, Saladin, Eleanor of Aquitaine, and the legendary Prester John - illuminate this era of splendor, adventure, and faith.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this beautifully written masterwork, the Pulitzer Prize–winnner and bestselling author of Caste chronicles one of the great untold stories of American history: the decades-long migration of black citizens who fled the South for northern and western cities, in search of a better life. From 1915 to 1970, this exodus of almost six million people changed the face of America. Wilkerson compares this epic migration to the migrations of other peoples in history. She interviewed more than a thousand people, and gained access to new data and official records, to write this definitive and vividly dramatic account of how these American journeys unfolded, altering our cities, our country, and ourselves. With stunning historical detail, Wilkerson tells this story through the lives of three unique individuals: Ida Mae Gladney, who in 1937 left sharecropping and prejudice in Mississippi for Chicago, where she achieved quiet blue-collar success and, in old age, voted for Barack Obama when he ran for an Illinois Senate seat; sharp and quick-tempered George Starling, who in 1945 fled Florida for Harlem, where he endangered his job fighting for civil rights, saw his family fall, and finally found peace in God; and Robert Foster, who left Louisiana in 1953 to pursue a medical career, the personal physician to Ray Charles as part of a glitteringly successful medical career, which allowed him to purchase a grand home where he often threw exuberant parties. Wilkerson brilliantly captures their first treacherous and exhausting cross-country trips by car and train and their new lives in colonies that grew into ghettos, as well as how they changed these cities with southern food, faith, and culture and improved them with discipline, drive, and hard work. Both a riveting microcosm and a major assessment, The Warmth of Other Suns is a bold, remarkable, and riveting work, a superb account of an “unrecognized immigration” within our own land. Through the breadth of its narrative, the beauty of the writing, the depth of its research, and the fullness of the people and lives portrayed herein, this book is destined to become a classic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All over the world, a common question being asked by all is, Does God really love me? People often feel rejected and are terrified of God. There is bitterness in their hearts toward God, and so they avoid coming to Him. Yet the real reason is we are not truly aware of His love. Often we try to measure Gods love with the standards of human love. We ask questions such as, If God loves me, then why I am hurting? Why have I lost my job? Why is my marriage breaking? Why I am suffering with deadly sickness? Why is this happening to me? Why holocaust, sudden death, loss due to natural calamities, 9/11, and shootings in schools? Then we always try to see where God is in that situation, and we feel that if God loves me, why did I get hurt? Does God still love me when I sin? People all over the world are too guilty of what they have done or are still doing. This guilt leads them to stay away from God, since they think God is not going to accept them because of what they have done. This book is a fresh new revelation of God to answer the questions of your life.
