Book Synopsis Lime Pickled and Other Stories by : Marc de Faoite
Download or read book Lime Pickled and Other Stories written by Marc de Faoite and published by Leopard Print. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equally nostalgic yet nightmarish, Lime Pickled is a short story collection set in a fictional Malaysia on the murky themes of exploitation, ecological damage, poverty, abuse and loss. Nefarious characters and the oppressed interact in modern Asia’s richly-textured familiar and amoral setting. At once dark and surreal yet heartwarming, this collection was written during the author’s 15-year stint in Malaysia and hits hard in many ways. Marc de Faoite’s gritty and satirical storytelling hints at traditional folklore with a brush of Zola’s detached naturalism. The initial primal shock cuts deep but these controversial and revealing stories of human longing and hope will stay with you for a long time. "A collection with an unmistakable heart." - Shih-Li Kow Read Lime Pickled and Other Stories today and discover new Asian writing.
Book Synopsis Kangchenjunga and Other Stories by : Robert Halsey
Download or read book Kangchenjunga and Other Stories written by Robert Halsey and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Halsey is an active member of a creative writing group called Tapestry that operates out of the Cockburnshire Library in Spearwood, Western Australia. Kangchenjunga and Other Stories is a collection of insights derived mainly from the troubled world in which he lives in, but some have been inspired from real personal experiences and some from history. Kangchenjunga is his imprimatur derived from a real spiritual experience that was born out of talking to young German backpackers in Darjeeling and immersing their experiences in cultural and folkloric material of the tribal people from Nepal and Bhutan. Out of the rich amalgam comes a searing tragedy that will haunt the reader for a long time to come. Man is mortal. We live a short time and then pass on. The world we leave behind remains as cold and indifferent. We leave our stories as testaments to our miserable achievements or lack of achievements, We should be grateful if the stories we leave behind in the insubstantial pages of literature, or history, can offer someone somewhere an insight or some moments of satisfaction having decoded the messages held in stories, poems, and dramas. Such are the delights offered in stories like Adam, Send for Eliab, Through Fire and Brimstone, Cleansing the Land, Lamp Shades and Cushion Covers, and When the God of Death Is the Death of God. Some readers may find some stories distressing, but the poetry that emanates from them tries to compensate for the harsh reality of a heartless and cold world that is indifferent to the stories that derive from our lives we are driven to leading. These stories are like the metaphors of life we leave narrated in and left to time. It is you, the reader, that will give them a measure of immortality as you keep reading, making the stories of these sad victims your own. Live again, but in another dimensionyour own and these others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An enchanting collection of stories from the heartland of India Ruskin Bond’s simple characters, living amidst the lush forests of the Himalayan foothills, are remarkable for their quiet heroism, courage and grace, and age-old values of honesty and fidelity. Residents of nondescript villages and towns, they lead lives that are touched by natural beauty as well as suffering—the loss of a loved parent, unfulfilled dreams, natural calamities, ghostly visitations, a respected teacher turned crooked, strangers who make a nuisance of themselves—which only reinforces their abiding faith in God, family and neighbour. Told in Bond’s distinctive style, these stories are a magnificent evocation of an India that may be fast disappearing.

Book Synopsis The Grateful Elephant and Other Stories Translated from the Pāli by : Eugene Watson Burlingame
Download or read book The Grateful Elephant and Other Stories Translated from the Pāli written by Eugene Watson Burlingame and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THESE stories are said to have been related by Gotama Buddha for the purpose of conveying to his hearers moral and religious lessons and the lessons of common sense. Gotama Buddha was born nearly twenty-five centuries ago in the city of Kapila, in Northeast India. Kapila was the principal city of the Sakya tribe, and his father was king of the tribe. Gotama was his family name. Buddhameans Awakened or Enlightened, that is to say, awakened or enlightened to the cause and the cure of human suffering. The Buddhist Scriptures tell us that when Gotama was born, the angels rejoiced and sang. An aged wise man inquired: “Why doth the company of angels rejoice?” They replied: “He that shall become Buddha is born in the village of the Sakyas for the welfare and happiness of mankind; therefore are we joyful and exceeding glad.” The wise man hastened to the king’s house, and said: “Where is the child? I, too, wish to see him.” They showed him the child. When he saw the child, he rejoiced and was exceeding glad. And he took him in his arms, and said: “Without an equal is he! foremost among men!” Then, because he was an old man, and knew that he was soon to die, he became sorrowful and wept tears. Said the Sakyas: “Will any harm come to the child?” “No,” replied the wise man, “this child shall one day become Buddha; out of love and pity for mankind he shall set in motion the Wheel of Religion; far and wide shall his religion be spread. But as for me, I have not long to live; before these things shall come to pass, death will be upon me. Therefore am I stricken with woe, overwhelmed with sorrow, afflicted with grief.” Seven days after Gotama was born, his mother died, and he was brought up by his aunt and step-mother. When he was nineteen years old, he married his own cousin. For ten years he lived a life of ease, in the enjoyment of all the comforts and luxuries which riches and high position could give him. When he was twenty-nine years old, a change came over him.
