Book Synopsis Waiting for the Alchemist by : Mark Perlberg
Download or read book Waiting for the Alchemist written by Mark Perlberg and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2009-05-15 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Direct and compassionate, the poems in Mark Perlberg's collection tell us things we need to know -- about art, history, nature, love, and life. Wholly without pretension, these poems make us feel that we have discovered the truth. The poet accomplishes this partly by his delicate touch with rhyme and assonance, partly by making himself seem almost an accidental instrument of the poem, someone who just happens to be conveying it. A reader cannot help but respond with affection and gratitude. The title poem reminds us that the philosopher's stone is more likely to turn up in our backyard -- or in our imagination -- than in a laboratory. The poems of the second section address history with restraint and tenderness, while those in section three explore contemporary lives. In the final section, Perlberg writes about his family, his friends, and himself. In a poem titled "In My Next Life," the poet says -- perhaps smiling inwardly -- he will then be "amiable, mostly, but large / and formidable," and adds, with a wink, "I'll insist you be present / in my next life -- and the one after that." Warm and inclusive, Waiting for the Alchemist is a beautiful collection.

Download or read book Maktub written by Paulo Coelho and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2024-03-05 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NATIONAL BESTSELLER An essential companion to the inspirational classic The Alchemist, filled with timeless stories of reflection and rediscovery. From one of the greatest writers of our age comes a collection of stories and parables unlocking the mysteries of the human condition. Gathered from Paulo Coelho’s daily column of the same name, Maktub, meaning “it is written,” invites seekers on a journey of faith, self-reflection, and transformation. As Paulo Coelho explains, “Maktub is not a book of advice—but an exchange of experiences.” Each story offers an illuminated path to see life and the lives of our fellow people around the world in new ways, allowing us to tap into universal truths about our collective and individual humanity. As Coelho writes, “a man who seeks only the light, while shirking his responsibilities, will never find illumination. And one who keep his eyes fixed upon the sun . . . ends up blind.” These wise tales offer the perspective of talking snakes, old women climbing mountains, disciples querying their masters, Buddha in dialogue, mysterious hermits, and many saints addressing the mysteries of the universe. Following the path of his previous internationally bestselling works, this thoughtful collection of short, inspirational pieces, introduced in a foreword by the author and illustrated with black-and-white line art throughout, will engage seekers of all ages and backgrounds.

And the god, of course, demanded nothing less than that all things were done in accordance with its divine will.
