Book excerpt: The Narrow Smile is a portrait of the Pathan and their highland home on either side of the Pakistan-Afghan frontier. Peter Mayne grew up in India, and later spent four years on the Northwest Frontier during the Second World War. Mayne delighted in the company of these fierce but hospitable highlanders, who were as hard as the mountains that assured their independence but democratic to the point that no man admitted the right of another to lead him. In 1953, Mayne took a long journey to see what had become of his old friends in the high, flower-filled valleys on the roof of the world. But peace had always been a relative concept on this frontier, where Afghanistan was now eyeing Pashtun lands in a new iteration of the Great Game. Mayne's misadventures are sometimes serious, often very funny, and at all times compassionate.

Book excerpt: In The Narrow Door, Paul Lisicky creates a compelling collage of scenes and images drawn from two long-term relationships, one with a woman novelist and the other with his ex-husband, a poet. The contours of these relationships shift constantly. Denise and Paul, stretched by the demands of their writing lives, drift apart, and Paul's romance begins to falter. And the world around them is frail: environmental catastrophes like the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, natural disasters like the earthquake in Haiti, and local disturbances make an unsettling backdrop to the pressing concerns of Denise's cancer diagnosis and Paul's impending breakup. Lisicky's compassionate heart and resilience seem all the stronger in the face of such searing losses. His survival--hard-won, unsentimental, authentic--proves that in turning toward loss, we embrace life.

Book excerpt: A deliciously terrifying novel about a ghost who uncovers a teen girl's best kept secrets while haunting her boarding school, perfect for fans of Lost in the Never Woods and The Haunting of Bly Manor. Everyone has heard the story of the Narrow. The river that runs behind the Atwood School is only a few feet across and seemingly placid, but beneath the surface, the waters are deep and vicious. It’s said that no one who has fallen in has ever survived. Eden White knows that isn’t true. Six years ago, she saw Delphine Fournier fall into the Narrow—and live. Delphine now lives in careful isolation, sealed off from the world. Even a single drop of unpurified water could be deadly to her, and no one but Eden has any idea why. Eden has never told anyone what she saw or spoken to Delphine since, but now, unable to cover her tuition, she has to make a deal: her expenses will be paid in return for serving as a live-in companion to Delphine. Eden finds herself drawn to the strange and mysterious girl, and the two of them begin to unravel each other’s secrets. Then Eden discovers what happened to the last girl who lived with Delphine: she was found half-drowned on dry land. Suddenly Eden is waking up to wet footprints tracking to the end of her bed, the sound of rain on the windows when the skies are clear, and a ghostly silhouette in her doorway. Something is haunting Delphine—and now it’s coming for Eden, too.

Book excerpt: Hannah Vanderlin had the perfect life. She lived in Southern California, had many friends, a carefree job, and a boyfriend that turned everyones head. Life was an endless party. However, in the blink of an eye, Hannahs worldly lifestyle maliciously crumbles beneath her feet leaving her wounded, hollow, and broken. In her weakest moment, Hannah finds an object buried in the sand that not only gives her the motivation to change her life, but the strength to take a chance and seek refuge in God. Desperate for a change, Hannah moves to her hometown of South Lake Tahoe. With guidance from her grandmother, Meg, and friend Peter Shanahan, Hannah begins to piece her life together by surrendering herself to God. Although Hannah finds hope in The Lord and begins to feel His mighty healing, she also feels the haunting memories from her past gripping at her soul and pulling her back into a dark pit. Eventually Hannah is forced to confront the darkness of her past in order to make room for the light of Christ in her future. Will Hannah be able to let go of her bondage and follow the path that God has called her to be on? Or will she remain a prisoner to her painful past forever?

Book excerpt: Peace and tranquillity. For once nothing terrible is happening. After years of dodgy moorings, ankle-deep mud, exploding toilets and all the other normalities of liveaboard life, the Brownes now seem to have found the perfect spot in which to park Minerva, their aging narrowboat. Marie and family finally find the time to work on the outside of the boat and even take a holiday or two. It looks as though life has finally taken a turn toward ‘normal’. Not a chance. From the ballistic qualities of false nails, unintentionally turning oneself blue, why yoga and wet paint don’t mix and why happy family holidays are, at best, a lie, Marie examines the dangers of becoming too settled and what can happen if you take your eye off the ball.

Book excerpt: “Oh, you live on a boat? That must be really cold in the winter...” Or, “Oh, you live on a boat? It must be great being so close to nature...” Or, “Oh, you live on a boat? It must be fantastic to be able to go wherever you like, whenever you like...” Narrow Escape sets out to dispel these commonly held public myths. From how to avoid assassination by ninja stealth ducklings, through definitive proof that kittens are aliens and the best way to sleep at forty-five degrees, to the importance of having the right boating equipment; (a child’s plastic sledge and a never ending supply of cotton wool balls). This month by month account of one family’s liveaboard year takes a firmly tongue in cheek look at what it takes to enjoy the ‘idyllic’ lifestyle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An independent research opens a revolutionary perspective in the history of religions and sheds new light on the still unexplained emergence of the buddhist Great Vehicle in the 1st century CE, demonstrating the influence of the early Christians, in the strongly hellenized area of the Kushan Empire (China, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kashmir, Northern India), heir of Alexander's conquests on the Silk Road, where Greek and Aramaïc were the two main languages currently spoken and written. Two millenia ago, the simultaneous spread of Christianity in the West and the Middle East, and Mahayana Buddhism in the East redrew the World map, but could it be only coincidence? Why did new sutras emphasizing compassion, devotion, voidness, sacrifice and universal salvation emerge in the first decades of our era in the Buddhism of the Origins? Why did, at the same time as Greek-Buddhist art, a 'Western triad' of buddhas appear in Gandhara, composed by a buddha of infinite light, Amitabha, a white bodhisattva of compassion, Avalokiteshvara, the Tibetan Chenrezig, emanated out of Infinite Compassion by the later, and a third one, bringer of power and inspiration, Mahasthamaprapta? Did Zoroastrism and Mithraism played a role in this spiritual revolution and why are some Gnostic texts of Nag-Hammadi so close to the Mahayanist cosmogonies, notions and terms? Furthermore, the sudden and abundant literature and iconography of the Great Vehicle, saw in the same years the appearance of a messianic buddha, Maitreya, of a feminine and salvific figure, embodiment of Wisdom, the Prajnaparamita, that would become Târâ, and of the Western Paradise of the Pure Land, making them very close. In this new turning of the wheel of Dharma, the bodhisattva renouncing Nirvana and sacrifying himelf to free the whole of Humanity kind became the ultimate value. Here are some of the interrogations, among many others, raised by this research and answered in a way never done before.

Download or read book The Narrow House written by Evelyn Scott and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evelyn Scott’s first novel, The Narrow House, depicts a family stricken by dysfunctional domesticity. Revolving around troubled members of the Farley family, Scott exposes notions of romantic love, longing, and the image of the Southern belle as damaging, unrealistic constructs, all against the backdrop of a seemingly normal middle-class existence that in previous decades had been idealized in Southern writing. Published to high praise when it appeared in 1921, The Narrow House vaulted Scott to literary celebrity in her day. In this new critical edition, Mary E. Papke contextualizes Scott’s first and possibly best writing effort with an astute introduction that discusses Scott and her contemporaries, the work’s importance to the genre of the novel, and the small but ongoing reclamation of Scott’s place in literary history. Completely updated and formatted for a modern readership, this critical edition of The Narrow House is sure to find its way into classrooms and onto bookshelves.
