Download or read book The Child in Time written by Ian McEwan and published by RosettaBooks. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A child’s abduction sends a father reeling in this Whitbread Award-winning novel that explores time and loss with “narrative daring and imaginative genius” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Stephen Lewis, a successful author of children’s books, is on a routine trip to the supermarket with his three-year-old daughter. In a brief moment of distraction, she suddenly vanishes—and is irretrievably lost. From that moment, Lewis spirals into bereavement that effects his marriage, his psyche, and his relationship with time itself: “It was a wonder that there could be so much movement, so much purpose, all the time. He himself had none at all.” In The Child in Time, acclaimed author Ian McEwan “sets a story of domestic horror against a disorienting exploration in time” producing “a work of remarkable intellectual and political sophistication” that has been adapted into a PBS Masterpiece movie starring Benedict Cumberbatch (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). “A beautifully rendered, very disturbing novel.” —Publishers Weekly
Book Synopsis The Reason I Jump by : Naoki Higashida
Download or read book The Reason I Jump written by Naoki Higashida and published by Random House. This book was released on 2013-08-27 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “One of the most remarkable books I’ve ever read. It’s truly moving, eye-opening, incredibly vivid.”—Jon Stewart, The Daily Show NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR • The Wall Street Journal • Bloomberg Business • Bookish FINALIST FOR THE BOOKS FOR A BETTER LIFE FIRST BOOK AWARD • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER You’ve never read a book like The Reason I Jump. Written by Naoki Higashida, a very smart, very self-aware, and very charming thirteen-year-old boy with autism, it is a one-of-a-kind memoir that demonstrates how an autistic mind thinks, feels, perceives, and responds in ways few of us can imagine. Parents and family members who never thought they could get inside the head of their autistic loved one at last have a way to break through to the curious, subtle, and complex life within. Using an alphabet grid to painstakingly construct words, sentences, and thoughts that he is unable to speak out loud, Naoki answers even the most delicate questions that people want to know. Questions such as: “Why do people with autism talk so loudly and weirdly?” “Why do you line up your toy cars and blocks?” “Why don’t you make eye contact when you’re talking?” and “What’s the reason you jump?” (Naoki’s answer: “When I’m jumping, it’s as if my feelings are going upward to the sky.”) With disarming honesty and a generous heart, Naoki shares his unique point of view on not only autism but life itself. His insights—into the mystery of words, the wonders of laughter, and the elusiveness of memory—are so startling, so strange, and so powerful that you will never look at the world the same way again. In his introduction, bestselling novelist David Mitchell writes that Naoki’s words allowed him to feel, for the first time, as if his own autistic child was explaining what was happening in his mind. “It is no exaggeration to say that The Reason I Jump allowed me to round a corner in our relationship.” This translation was a labor of love by David and his wife, KA Yoshida, so they’d be able to share that feeling with friends, the wider autism community, and beyond. Naoki’s book, in its beauty, truthfulness, and simplicity, is a gift to be shared. Praise for The Reason I Jump “This is an intimate book, one that brings readers right into an autistic mind.”—Chicago Tribune (Editor’s Choice) “Amazing times a million.”—Whoopi Goldberg, People “The Reason I Jump is a Rosetta stone. . . . This book takes about ninety minutes to read, and it will stretch your vision of what it is to be human.”—Andrew Solomon, The Times (U.K.) “Extraordinary, moving, and jeweled with epiphanies.”—The Boston Globe “Small but profound . . . [Higashida’s] startling, moving insights offer a rare look inside the autistic mind.”—Parade
Download or read book The Leap Year Boy written by Marc Simon and published by Untreed Reads. This book was released on 2012-12-07 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in Pittsburgh in the early 1900s, The Leap Year Boy is the story of a working class family and an extraordinary boy named Alex Miller, born in the family's home on February 29, 1908. What makes Alex so remarkable is that even though he's full-term at birth, he weighs just two pounds one ounce, and is nine inches long. Despite his size, Alex is perfectly healthy. However, his body grows at one-fourth the rate of a normal child-so that after one year, he's the size of a three-month-old-but his mind grows much quicker. Eventually, so do certain parts of his body and his ability to do various and unusual things with them. As Alex's special abilities become apparent, those around him see him as both a miracle child and a freak of nature-a freak to exploit. How Alex saves himself from the designs of others-his religious fanatic grandmother, who sees him as the new Messiah; his money-grubbing immigrant doctor, who wants to put him on display; his unstable nanny, who believes Alex is her lost child; and his father and father's mistress, who are eager to tap Alex's commercial potential-is at the heart of the novel. Ultimately, a family that has been fractured by ambition and circumstance rediscovers loyalty and love, thanks to Alex's courage.

Book Synopsis The Girl Who Could Fly by : Victoria Forester
Download or read book The Girl Who Could Fly written by Victoria Forester and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2008-06-24 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You just can't keep a good girl down . . . unless you use the proper methods. Piper McCloud can fly. Just like that. Easy as pie. Sure, she hasn't mastered reverse propulsion and her turns are kind of sloppy, but she's real good at loop-the-loops. Problem is, the good folk of Lowland County are afraid of Piper. And her ma's at her wit's end. So it seems only fitting that she leave her parents' farm to attend a top-secret, maximum-security school for kids with exceptional abilities. School is great at first with a bunch of new friends whose skills range from super-strength to super-genius. (Plus all the homemade apple pie she can eat!) But Piper is special, even among the special. And there are consequences. Consequences too dire to talk about. Too crazy to consider. And too dangerous to ignore. At turns exhilarating and terrifying, Victoria Forester's debut novel has been praised by Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight saga, as "the oddest/sweetest mix of Little House on the Prairie and X-Men...Prepare to have your heart warmed." The Girl Who Could Fly is an unforgettable story of defiance and courage about an irrepressible heroine who can, who will, who must . . . fly. This title has Common Core connections. Praise for Victoria Forester and The Girl Who Could Fly: "It's the oddest/sweetest mix of Little House on the Prairie and X-Men. I was smiling the whole time (except for the part where I cried). I gave it to my mom, and I'm reading it to my kids—it's absolutely multigenerational. Prepare to have your heart warmed." Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight saga "In this terrific debut novel, readers meet Piper McCloud, the late-in-life daughter of farmers...The story soars, just like Piper, with enough loop-de-loops to keep kids uncertain about what will come next....Best of all are the book's strong, lightly wrapped messages about friendship and authenticity and the difference between doing well and doing good."--Booklist, Starred Review "Forester's disparate settings (down-home farm and futuristic ice-bunker institute) are unified by the rock-solid point of view and unpretentious diction... any child who has felt different will take strength from Piper's fight to be herself against the tide of family, church, and society."--The Horn Book Review The Girl Who Could Fly is a 2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

Book Synopsis The Mythology and History of Witchcraft by : Bram Stoker
Download or read book The Mythology and History of Witchcraft written by Bram Stoker and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-12-10 with total page 3498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mythology and History of Witchcraft serves as an unparalleled compendium that traverses the labyrinth of cultural, historical, and literary perspectives surrounding the enigma of witchcraft. Through a meticulously curated selection spanning essays, historical analyses, folklore studies, and biographical sketches, this anthology unveils the multifaceted phenomena of witchcraft as understood across different epochs and societies. The range of literary styles, from the narrative to the scholarly, not only highlights the diversity within the discourse of witchcraft but also sheds light on seminal works that have significantly shaped or challenged the understanding of witchcraft, without centering on a single authorial voice yet underscoring the collective importance of the contributors. The contributing authors and editors, a veritable whos who of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries intellectual landscape, bring to the table a plethora of backgrounds in literature, history, folklore, and theology. Such a rich array of perspectives aligns with various historical and cultural movements, ranging from the Enlightenment's rational inquiry into superstition to the Romantic fascination with the Gothic and the arcane. In their collective endeavor, these authors not only navigate the complex narrative of witchcraft's history but also contribute to a deeper understanding of the sociopolitical and cultural contexts that have historically vilified or mystified the concept of witchcraft. This anthology is a must-read for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of history, folklore, and literary criticism, offering a unique opportunity to engage with the discourse of witchcraft through a multi-disciplinary lens. It invites readers to explore the convergence of different narrative styles, themes, and perspectives, providing a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of witchcrafts historical and cultural significance. The Mythology and History of Witchcraft stands as a testament to the richness of collaborative scholarly work, encouraging continued dialogue and exploration into the complex tapestry of human belief and the literary imagination.
