Book excerpt: **Please note that this will work best on a color device and will appear in a horizontal format** The #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns, and And the Mountains Echoed responds to the heartbreak of the current refugee crisis with this deeply moving, beautifully illustrated short work of fiction for people of all ages, all over the world. "Intensely moving. . .Powerfully evocative of the plight in which displaced populations find themselves."– Kirkus, STARRED Review "Hosseini's story, aimed at readers of all ages, does not dwell on nightmarish fates; instead, its emotional power flows from the love of a father for his son."– Publishers Weekly, STARRED BOX Review A short, powerful, illustrated book written by beloved novelist Khaled Hosseini in response to the current refugee crisis, Sea Prayer is composed in the form of a letter, from a father to his son, on the eve of their journey. Watching over his sleeping son, the father reflects on the dangerous sea-crossing that lies before them. It is also a vivid portrait of their life in Homs, Syria, before the war, and of that city's swift transformation from a home into a deadly war zone. Impelled to write this story by the haunting image of young Alan Kurdi, the three-year-old Syrian boy whose body washed upon the beach in Turkey in September 2015, Hosseini hopes to pay tribute to the millions of families, like Kurdi's, who have been splintered and forced from home by war and persecution, and he will donate author proceeds from this book to the UNHCR (the UN Refugee Agency) and The Khaled Hosseini Foundation to help fund lifesaving relief efforts to help refugees around the globe. Khaled Hosseini is one of the most widely read writers in the world, with more than fifty-five million copies of his novels sold worldwide in more than seventy countries. Hosseini is also a Goodwill Envoy to the UNHCR, and the founder of The Khaled Hosseini Foundation, a nonprofit that provides humanitarian assistance to the people of Afghanistan.

Download or read book The Kites written by Romain Gary and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romain Gary’s bittersweet final masterpiece is “epic and empathetic” (BBC) and “one of his best” (The New York Times) The Kites begins with a young boy, Ludo, coming of age on a small farm in Normandy under the care of his eccentric kite-making Uncle Ambrose. Ludo’s life changes the day he meets Lila, a girl from the aristocratic Polish family that owns the estate next door. In a single glance, Ludo falls in love forever; Lila, on the other hand, disappears back into the woods. And so begins Ludo’s adventure of longing, passion, and love for the elusive Lila, who begins to reciprocate his feelings just as Europe descends into World War II. After Germany invades Poland, Lila and her family go missing, and Ludo’s devotion to saving her from the Nazis becomes a journey to save his love, his loved ones, his country, and ultimately himself. Filled with unforgettable characters who fling all they have into the fight to keep their hopes—and themselves—alive, The Kites is Romain Gary’s poetic call for resistance in whatever form it takes. A war hero himself, Gary embraced and fought for humanity in all its nuanced complexities, in the belief that a hero might be anyone who has the courage to love and hope.

In the upcoming council elections of the rural town where he lives, Jason is working as assistant to his cousin Neil, a man who's as narcissistic as he is ambitious. Almost running into Morena, the fortune teller from the visiting fair, Neil is able to turn the situation to his advantage and look good in the small community by offering free seats to the fair's big top. Paranormal detective Garen begins an investigation into a death where the victim is turned to stone and finds an unlikely ally in the victim's housekeeper, Chloris Webling, a woman with powers of her own. However, when they are attacked by something that kills with fang and claw, Garen needs the help of his husband Luke. Against his cousin's wishes, Jason begins a relationship with Anaru, the nephew of one of Neil's competitors. Jason's concerned that not only might Neil discover his deception and sack him, but also about the infected bite on Neil's forehead, which seems to be getting worse and making Neil more prone to furious outbursts than normal. Luke comes to believe that the strange growth on Neil's forehead is a manifestation of the evil eye of the demon Balor and that the fortune teller is using Neil as a vessel for the demon. When the battle begins, it pits Garen and his forces against Madam Morena and her deadly familiar, while Luke and Chloris track down Neil to prevent the demon from using him as a gateway into the human world.

The authors describe all aspects of the kite's life cycle, from breeding and nesting, raising young, and hunting and feeding to the kite's annual winter migration to South America. They also trace its intriguing relationship with humans, from its discovery by Europeans in the nineteenth century to the present day. For bird lovers and ornithologists alike, The Mississippi Kite will be an essential introduction to a bird well worth knowing. A special section on conservation and a selection of references for further reading complement the text.
Book Synopsis Pupils of the Eye by : Natasha Hoffman
Download or read book Pupils of the Eye written by Natasha Hoffman and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the Intuitive Wisdom of the Third Eye, and how over time we have lost our ability to trust it, which in turn has disempowered us. In these pages we learn of the Wisdom Keepers of old, the Astronomer Priests, and the six Archangels who created the sacred paths of energy, those that we call ley lines, and the other grids that encircle our planet. It was on these flows of energy that the Astronomer Priests set up wisdom schools where the wisdom of the Eye was taught to initiates who were known as Pupils of the Eye. And our ancestors marked and used these sacred sites, all over our planet for the temples, churches, standing stones and circles that still attract those many people who respond to a deep soul calling. This book shows too that comprehension of the old myths and legends and the folk tales of all continents can be a vital pathway to trusting in our own intuition and provides an understanding of life on this planet and helps us to reconnect with our place in the Universe.
