Book Synopsis Claire Dewitt And The Bohemian Highway by : Sara Gran
Download or read book Claire Dewitt And The Bohemian Highway written by Sara Gran and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2013-06-18 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detective looks into the death of her ex-boyfriend: “The most interesting private eye I’ve encountered since Stieg Larsson’s Lisbeth Salander.” —The Washington Post When Claire DeWitt’s ex-boyfriend Paul Casablancas, a musician, is found dead in his Mission District house, Claire is on the case. Paul’s wife and the police are sure Paul was killed for his valuable collection of vintage guitars. But Claire, the best detective in the world, has other ideas. Even as her other cases offer hints to Paul’s fate—a missing girl in the grim East Village of the 1980s and an epidemic of missing miniature horses in Marin County-–Claire knows: the truth is never where you expect it, and love is the greatest mystery of all. The follow-up to the Macavity Award winner Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead, this intense and unusual crime novel comes from “a distinctive new voice in mystery fiction” (NPR’s Fresh Air). “Drug-taking, tarot-reading San Francisco detective Claire DeWitt is back . . . Claire is terrific at getting to the bottom of other people’s problems but not so good at dealing with her own. But that’s the peculiar charm of this punky sleuth and her offbeat entourage.” —Booklist “[A] mesmerizing character.” —New Orleans Times-Picayune “The Claire DeWitt novels are not so much noir mysteries as stories about the nature of mysteries themselves. The stories are wise, chilling, insightful and reeking with despair—and yet so beautifully written in an original, quirky style that it is difficult to resist them.” —Associated Press

Book Synopsis Vera Gran: The Accused by : Agata Tuszynska
Download or read book Vera Gran: The Accused written by Agata Tuszynska and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2013-02-26 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extraordinary, controversial story of Vera Gran, beautiful, exotic prewar Polish singing star; legendary, sensual contralto, Dietrich-like in tone, favorite of the 1930s Warsaw nightclubs, celebrated before, and during, her year in the Warsaw Ghetto (spring 1941–summer 1942) . . . and her piano accompanist: W³adys³aw Szpilman, made famous by Roman Polanski’s Oscar-winning film The Pianist, based on Szpilman’s memoir. Following the war, singer and accompanist, each of whom had lived the same harrowing story, were met with opposing fates: Szpilman was celebrated for his uncanny ability to survive against impossible odds, escaping from a Nazi transport loading site, smuggling in weapons to the Warsaw Ghetto for the Jewish resistance. Gran was accused of collaborating with the Nazis; denounced as a traitor, a “Gestapo whore,” reviled, imprisoned, ultimately exonerated yet afterward still shunned as a performer . . . in effect, sentenced to death without dying . . . until she was found by Agata Tuszyñska, acclaimed poet and biographer of, among others, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Nobel laureate (“Her book has few equals”—The Times Literary Supplement). Tuszyñska, who won the trust of the once-glamorous former singer, then living in a basement in Paris—elderly, bitter, shut away from the world—encouraged Gran to tell her story, including her seemingly inexplicable decision to return to Warsaw to be reunited with her family after she had fled Hitler’s invading army, knowing she would have to live within the ghetto walls and, to survive, continue to perform at the popular Café Sztuka. At the heart of the book, Gran’s complex, fraught relationship with her accompanist, performing together month after month, for the many who came from within the ghetto and outside its walls to hear her sing. Using Vera Gran’s reflections and memories, as well as archives, letters, statements, and interviews with Warsaw Ghetto historians and survivors, Agata Tuszyñska has written an explosive, resonant portrait of lives lived inside a nightmare time, exploring the larger, more profound question of the nature of collaboration, of the price of survival, and of the long, treacherous shadow cast in its aftermath.
Book Synopsis Scripture's Grand Story through the Old Testament by : Bryan Beyer
Download or read book Scripture's Grand Story through the Old Testament written by Bryan Beyer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-01-13 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible contains the greatest story ever told. It reveals the God of history, who is writing his story through history’s events. It tells us about life, and it itself is life. It tells us about Jesus, God’s Son, who secured salvation for a lost world two thousand years ago. Maybe you’ve tried to read the Bible all the way through before and didn’t finish. Maybe you need a tool to guide you in your journey. That’s what we hope this book will be for you. The Bible is sixty-six books, yet it is one book with one story. It was written over 1,500 years ago, but with one theme—Jesus! The Bible has forty human authors, but one divine author and one central story. It invites us into that story to embrace the life God designed for us. Scripture’s Grand Story can help people with little Bible knowledge achieve a basic framework for grasping the Bible’s main story. Those with a basic understanding of Scripture will benefit by seeing how each story plays a part in the one central story—Jesus.
Book Synopsis Rediscovering God’s Grand Story by : James M. Roseman
Download or read book Rediscovering God’s Grand Story written by James M. Roseman and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the passage to modernity we in the West have lost the ability to see things whole. We've closed our minds to all things transcendent and default to unbelief, and can't make sense of the persistent echoes of the voice of God that reverberate in our souls. In Rediscovering God's Grand Story, James Roseman picks up the strands of science, philosophy, history, the arts, and theology, and reweaves the tapestry to see a coherent story that makes the best sense of the world and provides real meaning and significance to our lives--God's Grand Myth. We see that the signals of transcendence that confound our culture of doubt are a universal language and vocabulary of the heart echoing the voice of God; and in the very Judeo-Christian story we so readily jettison is found the Author enabling us to see the world whole again. This essay tells why the story and promise of Christianity is so hard to hear today but won't go away. Could it be that, as T. S. Eliot wrote in the mid-twentieth century, "at the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time"?
