Book Synopsis The Edge of Paradise by : Paul Frederick Kluge
Download or read book The Edge of Paradise written by Paul Frederick Kluge and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1967 the Peace Corps sent P. F. Kluge to paradise - or so the American possessions in Micronesia seemed. His assignment was as noble as it was adventurous: to help the people of those half-forgotten Pacific islands move from old to new, so that paradise would have prosperity and freedom as well as physical beauty. He immersed himself in the lives of the diverse peoples of the islands. He composed speeches for their leaders. He wrote a stirring manifesto that became the Preamble to the Constitution of Micronesia. He began a friendship with a man who would one day be president of Palau. And then, a generation later, P. F. Kluge went back. . . . The result is a book the New Yorker called "remarkably effective," the Economist deemed "terrific"; a book Smithsonian Magazine found to be "written from the heart." The Edge of Paradise shows the impact and ironies of America's presence in an undeveloped part of the world, how perhaps there's no way "a big place can touch a little one without harming it."
Book Synopsis Essence of Paradise by : Williamsji Maveli

Book excerpt: The essential feature of love is that it is of saintly nature. Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a meaningful definition. Love exists in different forms: like affection, adoration, friendship, lust, passion and fondness. Often, yielding words of love can easily melt the toughest heart and make anyone highly romantic and blissful. Not only that, our relationships would surely spice up from the symphony of love. It is said that love can make a poet of you. We are the masters of our own fortune, future, destiny. We are the makers of our own fate. When we fully realize this reality, we will no longer search for the truth outside of ourselves. When we realize that we are fully responsible for our own actions and thoughts—and when we become overall responsible human beings—only then will we become ultimately and truly free. We need to stop escaping our liability as well as responsibility. Symphony of love will donate a heart‘s fulfillment of the most romantic thoughts in bountiful words, sentences and stanza‘s. True Poets may use to write so romantically so full of love even a dead heart will feel little better, good poetry is a created energy and enthusiasm to readers. Love conquers all. That‘s what we hear over and over again growing up. True love poetry comes from the heart: that is real feel from the heart When we play sacred , when we pretend to be pure, or when we play bad we fail to do what we need to do, and instead we only do what we want to do—in other words, we only do what our mind and ego tells us to do. When we are ruled by our mind and ego we are not free, no matter how much we pretend to be free. When we are ruled by our mind and ego we look for validity in the world of duality and always, always fall prey to sensuality. All of us are temporarily crazy, but some people are temporarily crazy all the time. When our mind is infected with ego we are temporarily crazy, but when the ego-infection is removed with wisdom we get over our ego and become better—we become ourselves. But some persons refuse to fasten down with themselves, and they remain victims of their ego. They go through this life following the whims of the mind and never gain any lasting stability. They die for their pleasures while living in pain, and in the end they lose everything and gain nothing. Our soul is the cause and the origin of body and mind of all living creatures. This standalone soul is the part of the entire universal spirit of we call God. Hence, the physical and entire functions of a person are governed exclusively by the soul.

Book Synopsis Children of Paradise by : Laura Secor
Download or read book Children of Paradise written by Laura Secor and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The drama that shaped today’s Iran, from the Revolution to the present day. In 1979, seemingly overnight—moving at a clip some thirty years faster than the rest of the world—Iran became the first revolutionary theocracy in modern times. Since then, the country has been largely a black box to the West, a sinister presence looming over the horizon. But inside Iran, a breathtaking drama has unfolded since then, as religious thinkers, political operatives, poets, journalists, and activists have imagined and reimagined what Iran should be. They have drawn as deeply on the traditions of the West as of the East and have acted upon their beliefs with urgency and passion, frequently staking their lives for them. With more than a decade of experience reporting on, researching, and writing about Iran, Laura Secor narrates this unprecedented history as a story of individuals caught up in the slipstream of their time, seizing and wielding ideas powerful enough to shift its course as they wrestle with their country’s apparatus of violent repression as well as its rich and often tragic history. Essential reading at this moment when the fates of our countries have never been more entwined, Children of Paradise will stand as a classic of political reporting; an indelible portrait of a nation and its people striving for change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Koslow’s imagined account of the real-life affair between [F. Scott Fitzgerald] and the seductive expat is captivating.” —People magazine In 1937 Hollywood, gossip columnist Sheilah Graham’s star is on the rise, while literary wonder boy F. Scott Fitzgerald’s career is slowly drowning in booze. But the once-famous author, desperate to make money penning scripts for the silver screen, is charismatic enough to attract the gorgeous Miss Graham, a woman who exposes the secrets of others while carefully guarding her own. Like Fitzgerald’s hero Jay Gatsby, Graham has meticulously constructed a life far removed from the poverty of her childhood in London’s slums. And like Gatsby, the onetime guttersnipe learned early how to use her charms to become a hardworking success; she is feted and feared by both the movie studios and their luminaries. With his mentally-ill wife Zelda away in a sanitorium, Fitzgerald fell hard for Sheilah, who would help revive his career until his tragic death three years later. Working from Sheilah’s memoirs, interviews, and letters, Sally Koslow revisits their scandalous love affair and Graham’s dramatic transformation in London, bringing Graham and Fitzgerald gloriously to life with the color, glitter, magic, and passion of 1930s Hollywood. “A stunning, utterly captivating read.” —Kathleen Grissom, New York Times–bestselling author of The Kitchen House and Glory Over Everything “Rich in historical detail, celebrity dish, and old-fashioned human drama.” —Good Housekeeping “You’ll be surprised by the nuance and new details that Another Side of Paradise brings to light.” —Meryl Gordon, New York Times–bestselling author of Bunny Mellon: The Life of an American Style Legend “Intoxicating.” —Publishers Weekly

On Friday, May 1st, 2015 a bomb detonates in the infamous Positano Luxury Resort and Casino, a mammoth hotel (and exact replica of the Amalfi coast) on the Las Vegas Strip.

By chance and by design, they find themselves caught up in backroom schemes for personal and political power, and are thrown into the deep end of an even bigger fight for the soul of the paradoxical town.

Download or read book Bobos in Paradise written by David Brooks and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his bestselling work of “comic sociology,” David Brooks coins a new word, Bobo, to describe today’s upper class—those who have wed the bourgeois world of capitalist enterprise to the hippie values of the bohemian counterculture. Their hybrid lifestyle is the atmosphere we breathe, and in this witty and serious look at the cultural consequences of the information age, Brooks has defined a new generation. Do you believe that spending $15,000 on a media center is vulgar, but that spending $15,000 on a slate shower stall is a sign that you are at one with the Zenlike rhythms of nature? Do you work for one of those visionary software companies where people come to work wearing hiking boots and glacier glasses, as if a wall of ice were about to come sliding through the parking lot? If so, you might be a Bobo.

Download or read book The True History of Paradise written by Margaret Cezair-Thompson and published by Random House. This book was released on 2010-05-12 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is 1981. Jean Landing secretly plans to flee her beloved Jamaica–the only home her family has ever known, a place now rife with political turmoil. But before she can make her final preparations, she receives devastating news: Lana, her sister, is dead. The country’s state of emergency leaves no time to arrange a proper funeral. Even Jean’s mother, Monica, who hadn’t spoken to Lana in more than a decade, cannot fully embrace her grief. The tragedy only underscores Jean’s need to leave an island that holds no promise of a future. Her harrowing journey to freedom across a battered landscape takes Jean through a terrain of memories: of her childhood, with a detached mother at odds with an adoring father, of her complex bond with Lana, and of the friends and lovers who have shaped and shared her days. Epic in scope, The True History of Paradise poignantly portrays the complexities of family and racial identity in a troubled Eden.
