Paul: a twentysomething wannabe rock star, back home from New York City, broke and jobless, living with his mother. April: a math teacher with two kids, running her church’s vacation Bible school, discontent with another summer planning crafts and regurgitating verses.

Book excerpt: A stunning photo essay paired with 100 stories of members gives a rare glimpse into an intentional community that has stood the test of time. Yes, it is possible to create a society where there are no rich or poor, where children and elderly are welcome, where everyone has work and no one lives alone. Meet 100 individuals from diverse backgrounds who have ventured everything to build a life together where everyone belongs and everyone can contribute. A cross-section of the Bruderhof community's international and intergenerational membership, they have pooled their income, possessions, talents, and energy to take care of one another and to reach out to others. Defying five generations of naysayers, this is a community that works. As they reflect on 100 years of community, Bruderhof members reveal why they personally have chosen this radical was of life and share insights they have gleaned along the way. With photography by acclaimed British photojournalist Danny Burrows, this book is a celebration of what is possible when people take a leap of faith and dare a change. It's a window into a lived example that will inspire and encourage anyone working to build a more just, peaceful, and sustainable future.
Download or read book Another Life written by Daniel Lipara and published by . This book was released on 2021-09 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Literary Nonfiction. Latinx Studies. Translated by Robin Myers. ANOTHER LIFE, Daniel Lipara's subtle and shimmering debut, is a family history, an intimate epic, a travel story, and an initiation. Both meditative and cinematic, engaging both playfully and ardently with the Odyssey and Alice Oswald's Memorial, this book chronicles a constellation of relatives pushed into the light by the centripetal force of death. ANOTHER LIFE is less elegy than eulogy, summoning a vibrant range of voices and tones,--caustic, tender, solemn, ecstatic,--to praise the many lives that fit inside each and every one of us. "A vivid, evocative account of family, place and memory, through Homeric poetry and myth, beautifully translated by Robin Myers."--Emily Wilson "Family, spiritual discovery, the recovery of myth and what it means when we use words like 'sacred,' or 'soul',--Daniel Lipara explores all the larger questions with grace, compassion and deft humour in this gem of a collection. Inventively and scrupulously translated by Robin Myers, ANOTHER LIFE is one of the finest books of poetry that I have read in some time."--John Burnside "It is hard to describe all that ANOTHER LIFE is,--epic poem, bildungsroman, family chronicle, elegy. The thing is, though, description doesn't matter,--the poem beguiles and charms, moves as muscular as an epiphany through the silence it meditates on halfway through when the speaker comes of age at an ashram with his mother. It is dappled with dazzling Homeric similes, describing the life of an Argentine boy descended from Greek farmers and Russian seers as he witnesses, say, his mother being wrapped into a sari in rural India, or his father disassemble an engine in Mataderos. It is home to an effortless abundance, but never a clutteredness, thanks in large part to Robin Myers exceptional translation. In her hands, the lines are as lucent and bracing as ice cubes dropped in a glass of water,--llava halts, gusts of smoke bluster,--and the syntax is as fluid and free of punctuation as the Aeolian winds that move Lipara's people across oceans and eras and into as much as out of each other's lives. Unaffected yet profound, casual but alert to the innate dignity of life, the poem that Robin Myers has brought us does what great poems do: show us the ancient in the contemporary, the lightness in the gravity, the gleaming thread of the sacred woven everywhere in the commonplace."--Conor Bracken

Download or read book Just Another Life written by Meliha Avdic and published by Meliha Avdic. This book was released on 2022-03-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just Another Life is a novel about an old woman, May, who is haunted by a seemingly irrelevant memory from her youth that she must share to find peace. Everything in life is relative, so is it any wonder that the way we judge our life is in comparison to others? May knew some amazing people so to her, her life was ordinary. To make matters worse, she cannot figure out why one seemingly insignificant part of her life keeps haunting her so much that she is compelled to write it all; every conversation she can still hear though they happened many decades ago. Reader’s reviews: This book is a unique and amazing work of art. If May’s life is ‘Just Another Life’, then there is no such thing as an extraordinary life, we can all just relax. I love the characters, and it’s been a pleasure to eavesdrop on their conversations. The story is great. The characters are great. The messages are inspiring. Loved the inspiration; at times I had to close the book and think about things I just hear Benjamin say. Loved it. Unique plot built around the moral of the story, with well-developed characters holding everything together, yet they fail to hold their own lives. Unique delivery of a unique message, yet they fail to hold their own lives, changing to fit into their new environment that is changed by outside forces. Unique delivery of a unique message.
Download or read book Wayward written by Vashti Bunyan and published by White Rabbit. This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Magical and transporting . . . Wayward proves that Bunyan has lived the best possible life, on her own idiosyncratic terms' Maggie O'Farrell 'A gorgeous account of outsiderness and survival: a map of how to live outside the boundaries and of striving for an authentic artistic life. A quietly defiant and moving work' Sinéad Gleeson 'An epic in miniature . . . I loved - and lived - every sentence' Benjamin Myers In 1968, Vashti Bunyan gave up everything and everybody she knew in London to take to the road with a horse, wagon, dog, guitar and her then partner. They made the long journey up to the Outer Hebrides in an odyssey of discovery and heartbreak, full of the joy of freedom and the trudge of everyday reality, sleeping in the woods, fighting freezing winters and homelessness. Along the way, Vashti wrote the songs that would lead to the recording of her 1970's album Just Another Diamond Day, the lilting lyrics and guitar conveying innocent wonder at the world around her, whilst disguising a deeper turmoil under the surface. From an unconventional childhood in post-war London, to a fledgling career in mid-sixties pop - recording a single written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards - to the despair and failure to make any headway with her own songs, she rejected the music world altogether and left it all behind. After retreating to a musical wilderness for thirty years, the rediscovery of her recordings in 2000 brought Vashti a second chance to write, record and perform once more. One of the great hippie myths of the 1960s, Wayward, Just Another Life to Live, rewrites the narrative of a barefoot girl on the road to describe a life lived at full tilt from the first, revealing what it means to change course and her emotional struggle, learning to take back control of her own life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo A People Magazine Pick * US Weekly “Must” Pick * Named “Best Book of the Summer” by Glamour * Good Housekeeping * USA TODAY * Cosmopolitan * PopSugar * Working Mother * Bustle * Goodreads A breathtaking new novel about a young woman whose fate hinges on the choice she makes after bumping into an old flame; in alternating chapters, we see two possible scenarios unfold—with stunningly different results. At the age of twenty-nine, Hannah Martin still has no idea what she wants to do with her life. She has lived in six different cities and held countless meaningless jobs since graduating college. On the heels of leaving yet another city, Hannah moves back to her hometown of Los Angeles and takes up residence in her best friend Gabby’s guestroom. Shortly after getting back to town, Hannah goes out to a bar one night with Gabby and meets up with her high school boyfriend, Ethan. Just after midnight, Gabby asks Hannah if she’s ready to go. A moment later, Ethan offers to give her a ride later if she wants to stay. Hannah hesitates. What happens if she leaves with Gabby? What happens if she leaves with Ethan? In concurrent storylines, Hannah lives out the effects of each decision. Quickly, these parallel universes develop into radically different stories with large-scale consequences for Hannah, as well as the people around her. As the two alternate realities run their course, Maybe in Another Life raises questions about fate and true love: Is anything meant to be? How much in our life is determined by chance? And perhaps, most compellingly: Is there such a thing as a soul mate? Hannah believes there is. And, in both worlds, she believes she’s found him.

Download or read book Another Life written by Michael Korda and published by Delta. This book was released on 2011-12-21 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his remarkable memoir, at once frank, audacious, canny, and revealing, Michael Korda, the author of Charmed Lives and Queenie, does for the world of books what Moss Hart did for the theater in Act One, and succeeds triumphantly in making publishing seem as exciting (and as full of great characters) as the stage. Another Life is not just an adventure--the engaging and often hilarious story of a young man making his career--but the insider's story of how a cottage industry metamorphosed into a big business, with sometimes alarming results for all concerned. Korda writes with grace, humor, and a shrewd eye, not only about himself and his rise from a lowly (but not humble) assistant editor reading the "slush pile" of manuscripts to a famous editor in chief of a major publishing house, but also about the celebrities and writers with whom he worked over four decades. Here are portraits--rare, intimate, always keenly observed--of such larger-than-life figures as Ronald Reagan, affable and good-natured but the most reluctant of authors, struggling with his "ghosted" presidential autobiography; Richard Nixon, seen here as a genial, if bizarrely detached, host; superagent Irving Lazar, pursuing his endless deals and dreams of "class"; retired Mafia boss Joseph Bonanno, the last of the old-time dons, laboring over his own version of his life in his desert retreat; Joan Crawford, giving Korda her rules for successful living; and countless other greats, near greats, and would-be greats. Here too are famous writers, sometimes eccentric, sometimes infuriating, sometimes lost souls, captured memorably by someone who was close to them for years: Graham Greene, in pursuit of his FBI file and a Nobel Prize; Tennessee Williams, wrestling unsuccessfully with his demons; Jacqueline Susann, facing and conquering the dreaded "second-novel syndrome" after the stunning success of Valley of the Dolls; Harold Robbins (who had to be guarded under lock and key and made to finish his novels), struggling to keep the IRS at bay from the deck of his yacht; Carlos Castaneda, at his most sorcerously charming, described--at last--in detail, as he really was, by one of the few people who knew him well; not to mention Richard Adams, Will and Ariel Durant, Susan Howatch, S. J. Perelman, Fannie Hurst, Larry McMurtry, and many, many more. Parts of this book that have appeared in The New Yorker over the years have brought Korda great acclaim--the chapter about Jacqueline Susann has been made into a major motion picture. Here at last, entertaining and provocative and always hugely readable, is the whole story--a book as engaging and full of life as Korda's highly acclaimed memoir of his family, Charmed Lives, about which Irwin Shaw wrote: "I don't know when I have enjoyed a book more."
Book Synopsis Another Life by : Theodor Kallifatides
Download or read book Another Life written by Theodor Kallifatides and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rewarding philosophical essay on memory, language, love, and the passage of time, from a Greek immigrant who became one of Sweden’s most highly respected writers “Nobody should write after the age of seventy-five,” a friend had said. At seventy-seven, struggling with the weight of writer’s block, Theodor Kallifatides makes the difficult decision to sell the Stockholm studio where he diligently worked for decades and retire. Unable to write, and yet unable to not write, he travels to his native Greece in the hope of rediscovering that lost fluidity of language. In this slim memoir, Kallifatides explores the interplay of meaningful living and meaningful work, and the timeless question of how to reconcile oneself to aging. But he also comments on worrying trends in contemporary Europe—from religious intolerance and prejudice against immigrants to housing crises and gentrification—and his sadness at the battered state of his beloved Greece. Kallifatides offers an eloquent, thought-provoking meditation on the writing life, and an author’s place in a changing world.

Book excerpt: From Neil Abramson, USA Today bestselling author of Unsaid, comes a riveting novel that explores the complex connection between humans and animals. Veterinarian Samantha Lewis and her team are dedicated to providing a sanctuary for unwanted, abused, and abandoned dogs in New York City. But every day it gets harder to operate her no-kill shelter. Sam is already at her breaking point when she learns of an unidentified, dangerous virus spreading through their neighborhood. The medical community can only determine that animals are the carriers. Amid growing panic and a demand for immediate answers, suspicion abruptly falls on dogs as the source. Soon the governor is calling in the National Guard to enforce a quarantine--no dog may leave the area. Samantha knows from her own painful history that, despite the lack of real evidence against the dogs, a quarantine may only be the beginning. As questions about the source of the virus mount and clash with the pressure for a politically expedient resolution, Sam is forced to make life-altering choices. She finds allies in a motley crew of New Yorkers--a local priest, a troubled teen, a smart-mouthed former psychologist, and a cop desperate to do the right thing--all looking for sanctuary from their own personal demons. But the person Sam needs the most to unravel the mystery of the virus and save the dogs is the last one she'd ever want to call on--because contacting him will mean confronting the traumatic past she has fought so hard to escape.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of When Dimple Met Rishi comes the second installment in a series set an elite boarding school that’s a contemporary spin on fairy tales, this one a delightful, romantic twist on The Frog Prince. Caterina LaValle is determined to show she’s still the queen of St. Rosetta’s Academy. Sure, her crown may be slightly askew after her ex-boyfriend, Alaric, cheated on her, but she’s a LaValle. She’ll find a way to march right back in there, her hands clutching the strings to the whole puppet show. This time, she’s going to be untouchable. Rahul Chopra knows that moment he shared with Caterina LaValle at the winter formal meant something. Surely she feels it, too. He’s a little uncertain how someone like him (socially inept to a point way past “adorkable”) could fit into her world, but he’s loved Caterina for years. He knows they’ll find a way. When Caterina finds out Alaric is taking a supermodel to the upcoming gala, she knows she cannot arrive without the perfect date. But the thought of taking another superficial St. R’s boy exhausts her. The solution? Sweet-but-clueless Rahul Chopra and a mysterious pot of hair gel with the power to alter the wearer into whatever his heart desires. When Rahul tries it, he transforms instantly into RC—debonair, handsome, and charming. But transformation comes with a price: As Rahul enjoys his new social standing, the line between his two personas begins to blur. Will he give up everything, including Caterina, to remain RC? Or will this unlikely pair find their way back to each other?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life Is Just Another Class-One Soul's Journey through Past Life Regression Why are we here...again? We chose if and when to go into a new life. We chose this life, our bodies, the people in our lives and what to experience. We chose our lessons for this class we call LIFE. Through free will, we are completely responsible for our life. Take a breath. It's okay. You are not alone. We are all in this together and we have help. Our angels, spirit guides and passed over loved ones are always here for us-we have just forgotten that we can ask for their help. I did not always believe this. As a young adult, I lost my faith in God and religion altogether. Only through working with my past lives did I discover a much deeper sense of faith in God, angels and spirit guides. Do not be surprised if a few of my lifetime tragedies strike a chord within your being as you remember, in some deep way, how you had a similar experience in one of your own past lives. I chose to remember the lifetimes that would heal me from asthma. In doing so, I remembered some very harsh past lives. Aside from healing physically from asthma, I healed many old emotional wounds and awoke spiritually. Heaven is so close to you after you remember a past life death that nearly anyone can experience what it feels like to die and see The Light. Here are a few things that can be related to a past life: Birthmarks, Phobias and fears, Relationships, Talents, Health issues and Love or avoidance of certain objects, people, places or things. Remember, your real life is in Heaven: Earth is just a classroom. Your LIFE is just another class. Join me as I travel through 16 past lives and the emotional, spiritual, and physical healing that has positively influenced my present lifetime. My soul survived a dark energy blast in Atlantis, succumbing to suicide in the 1500s, entrapment in the Scottish Highlands, hanging for witchcraft in Virginia, drowning in the Johnstown flood, gunfire from a New York mobster and burning alive during a World War II bombing in Eastern Europe - yet, I am still here again. I share the true account of my soul's journey through life, death and going into The Light. I relate how it has healed me on multiple levels in the hopes that I will inspire and excite you to go fearlessly on your own soul's healing journey while helping you feel comfortable remembering your own past lives. I am healing the present through the past and continuing my journey as a soul in this classroom called LIFE. I share my experience on entering a Past Life, working Through a Past Lifetime, What Does Death Feel Like and what I saw on the Other Side. My past lives span from 14,000 B.C.-1950 A.D. Each gave more healing to my current life. Including: Living Life from the Heart-Aleena, Atlantis Duty to Family Changes My Lifetime Outcome-Gerty, Europe Tribal Duty in Life, Death, and Rebirth-Hodges, New York My First Attempt as a Spirit Guide-Oogiwah, Cambodia How Could I Abandon You, My Loves?-Kyung Hun, Asia My First Lifetime Remembered Resolves Asthma-Od, Mesopotamia Duty to Parents Continues as Duty in Marriage-Rosalina, Greece Succumbing to Suicide-Sally, Europe Resolving Several Subconscious Fears-Howard, Scotland Finding Equality as a Psychic Slave Girl-Isabella, Virginia Love of an Era Shattered by Heated Tempers-Annabelle Georges, France The Free Will to Choose-Annabelle Montgomery, Ohio.
