Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once she was a princess who smelled of roses and pure delight. Her parents named their new treasure Maysam, in order to reflect all of life's beautiful virtues. With her rich brown eyes, she came to know the world as shapes and sounds. In her mother's sweet voice, she heard only love--and the secret of bliss: "Smile, sweetheart. Smile always and bring happiness to nice people's hearts." Her young life is one without trouble or fear--until things turn upside down as her country is rattled by financial crisis, forcing young Maysam and her family to move in with her grandmother. In that angry household, the young girl learns some of life's more unpleasant lessons. Years pass, and poor Maysam grows into a young, unsociable, and forgotten lady. She struggles to reconnect with the joyful and optimistic child she once was, as the burden of finding her own way in a culture that cannot see the beauty within her wears her down. Lonely, sad, and depressed, she is lost in her own troubles. To protect herself, she builds internal walls around her pain, resigning herself to a fate in which she merely exists, instead of lives. But the joyful child inside refuses to accept this new self-imposed destiny. She vows to find a way to harness the happiness she sees around her. Can Maysam recapture the dreams of her innocent childhood in time to save her life and self-esteem?

This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world of aesthetics is, itself, inextricable from the world as a whole. Indeed, as this book argues, it is among its essential features, and an invaluable key to its appreciation. Thus, to venture into the uncharted world of aesthetics is also to venture into this larger world, a world that might be called the “cosmos” or the “universe”. At the same time, to venture into this uncharted realm is to also blaze a trail to the self. This trail would, itself, be paradoxical, as it would end where it begins and begin where it ends. In this light, it may also be said that the uncharted world of aesthetics is the uncharted world of the self. This book provides insights into how works about aesthetics are also works reflective of the self, as well as works with endless possibilities of being.

Book excerpt: This parable is about a young lady's journey through the circumstances of life that can affect us for better, or worse. She starts out life disfigured but through the wonder of cosmetic surgery is transformed into a beauty queen. During this time, she gets caught up in a world that affords her all the advantages that come with pronounced physical beauty. On the other hand, having come from a humble background where beauty is determined by who we are rather than one's outward appearance, she never completely embraces all of the superficialities laid before her. While she is on this path, she encounters an older man of significant stature and prominence who is caught in a conflict between good and evil, but has always sided with good by using evil to achieve that outcome. He embraces her with the love and affection of a father, and brings attention to her humble beginnings reminding her that, that which makes her truly beautiful is who she should hold on to, if she wishes to avoid the pitfalls of the world that she's encountered. Later, she is embraced by a matriarch who possesses a good heart, along with a generous and giving nature, over time, the two of them become close. The strength of their bond along with their kind natures create a mother daughter type relationship between them, enabling both to grow into even better and greater loving souls, which further strengthens them as women. Eventually, the young lady experiences an accident which leaves her temporarily blind. Once again, she comes across another matriarch who aids her during this time of crisis. The elderly lady shares her love, time, knowledge, and wisdom enabling the girl to attain an even greater height of emotional and spiritual maturity. During this moment of darkness, the young lady encounters a gentleman who through their experience together returns her to the true essence of her being. And, by the love and guidance of the elder come to discover they are kindred spirits. Finally, when the girl is threatened, the older father like gentleman protects her from any acts of evil against her, or her love by once again using evil in the defense of good. Though "The Illusion of Beauty" is but a work of fiction, it is routed in, and speaks to the good and bad in all of us. Also, the choices we make that at times may be imposed upon us, or the ones we make simply because the circumstances allow us to, for better or worse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At his boardinghouse in Rio de Janeiro, the Englishman James Marian is seen as handsome but eccentric. Then another boarder learns Marian's secret: a fusion of a female head and a male body, Marian is the creation of a surgeon with occult powers. Despite his wealth and mysterious abilities, Marian is unable to live fully as either a man or a woman, traveling the world in order to repress his sexual desire and withdraw from society. Sphinx explores the binaries of science and magic, body and spirit, male and female, attraction and horror, presenting its sexually ambiguous protagonist with sympathy. Ornately descriptive, this 1908 neo-gothic novel exemplifies the era's taste for the sensual and the fantastic. With echoes of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, it stands as a classic of Brazilian science fiction.
