Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A treasury of dazzling delight, The Secrets of Scheherazade transports the reader on a journey through a realm inspired by A Thousand and One Nights. Assembled as a collection to be auctioned along with certain objects, the stories contained within have magical powers... At The Scheherazade Foundation, we believe that folklore and storytelling hold an unrivalled value within society. A repository compiled over millennia, folktales reflect every facet of the human experience, making us who we are. An ultimate bridge between cultures, stories have the ability to divert the mind, so that an essence of real value can be passed on. This collection includes an array of fabulous tales, such as 'The Wondrous Seed', 'The Happiest Man in the World', 'The Berber Queen and the Necklace of Fortune', and 'Only the Painting Knows the Whole Story'. The more we tell and retell folktales, the more they seep into our subconscious, becoming part of us. With each telling, their magic is passed on - enabling us to tap into an ancient matrix of ideas, solutions, and information.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join us for the first book of the CADY WHIRLWIND THUNDER MYSTERIES Winner of the Historical Society of Michigan's book award for Children & Youth (2020) Winner of the Midwest Book Award for Young Adult Fiction (2020) Winner of the Upper Peninsula Notable Books award (2020) Cady, a 13-year-old girl of Native American heritage, has experienced major changes in the past year-her father's marriage to a younger woman, a new baby brother, and a move from Minnesota to Michigan where she attends a reservation school for the first time. One school day, Cady finds an eagle feather on the floor outside a classroom and reports it to the principal. When thanking her for this act of honor, he tells her that a mystery might soon appear in her life. Later, Cady discovers and antique Indian beaded necklace hidden under the floor of her bedroom closet. Is this the mystery the principal predicted might appear? She consults with elders who tell her it is her "job" to find out why. Helping her are her new friends Irish, John Ray and a talking blue jay. "I was enthralled by the story, its interesting characters, the mystery plot, the author's beautiful writing style spiced with wisdom and humor, and what I learned about tribal cultures and customs." -- Christine DeSmet, author of The Fudge Shop Mysteries "I LOVE IT. I could not put it down. I read the last few chapters slowly as possible the past few days because I was sad it was almost to the end of the book. I am looking forward to the next one." -- Faye DG Auginaush, from the White Earth Ojibwe in MN & Hannahville MI Potawatomi. "What a beautifully written story of a young Native American girl, Cady, and her search for love and answers. The author's descriptions and authentic dialogue will immerse the reader in Native American culture and history." -- Gregory L. Renz, author of Beneath the Flames "As the Director of the Crystal Falls District Community Library (MI), I highly recommend this book! It has mystery and adventure, with a hint of romance. I have bought this book for gifts, and it is just great. Ann Dallman can really write a tale for tween children that speaks to them on their level. Don't overthink it. Just put this in your cart now and buy it!" -- Evelyn Gathu "Cady is a beautifully drawn and very likeable character. Readers will feel lucky to have found Cady and accompanied her on a journey of self-discovery. Cady grows to appreciate how her people are much more in touch with the natural world, possess an ingrained sense of wonder, and a firm belief that nature in all its myriad forms communicates with them. Best of all they live in harmony with the natural world. And oh yes, this is a YA novel, but I defy anyone of any age to read a few pages and not become totally absorbed in Cady's life." -- Tom Powers, Michigan In Books Learn more at www.AnnDallman.com From Modern History Press www.ModernHistoryPress.com

Book excerpt: Though often thought of as primarily a male vehicle, the film noir offered some of the most complex female roles of any movies of the 1940s and 1950s. Stars such as Barbara Stanwyck, Gene Tierney and Joan Crawford produced some of their finest performances in noir movies, while such lesser known actresses as Peggie Castle, Hope Emerson and Helen Walker made a lasting impression with their roles in the genre. These six women and 43 others who were most frequently featured in films noirs are profiled here, focusing primarily on their work in the genre and its impact on their careers. A filmography of all noir appearances is provided for each actress.
Download or read book Mouneh written by Barbara Abdeni Massaad and published by Interlink Books. This book was released on 2018-07-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PRESERVING FOOD AND CULTURE THE LEBANESE WAY -- The very best memories connecting us to time and place are often stimulated by the tastes and smells of our childhood. Freshly-baked bread, hot from the oven, sweet homemade jam dribbling down our chins, or the burst of flavor in each dried grape—these memories bring a smile to our faces even as they call to mind the people who made them possible. Do you remember working alongside your grandmother as she lovingly preserved garden-fresh foods to set back for the winter? You watched Jiddo (grandfather) patiently prepare his arak, but could you reproduce his efforts from memory? Are you lucky enough that they kept written records of recipes gleaned from family history and years of experience? If so, count yourself among the very fortunate minority. The reality for many of us is that we no longer enjoy such a strong connection to our culinary roots. As much as we might wish the contrary, the beauty and simplicity of home-preserved pantry items, the mouneh, taken for granted during our childhood, often seems a lifetime away. In Barbara Abdeni Massaad’s book, Mouneh: Preserving Foods for the Lebanese Pantry, we’ve been thrown a lifeline to a piece of our cultural and culinary identity. So many things we would love to recreate for our own families become possible within these pages, thanks to the author’s diligent research, stunning photography, simply presented instructions and delightful stories.
Download or read book The Gargoyle written by Andrew Davidson and published by Random House Canada. This book was released on 2009-06-23 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extraordinary debut novel of love that survives the fires of hell and transcends the boundaries of time. On a burn ward, a man lies between living and dying, so disfigured that no one from his past life would even recognize him. His only comfort comes from imagining various inventive ways to end his misery. Then a woman named Marianne Engel walks into his hospital room, a wild-haired, schizophrenic sculptress on the lam from the psych ward upstairs, who insists that she knows him – that she has known him, in fact, for seven hundred years. She remembers vividly when they met, in another hospital ward at a convent in medieval Germany, when she was a nun and he was a wounded mercenary left to die. If he has forgotten this, he is not to worry: she will prove it to him. And so Marianne Engel begins to tell him their story, carving away his disbelief and slowly drawing him into the orbit and power of a word he'd never uttered: love.
