Book Synopsis Thistledown Seed by : Louise Helfgott
Download or read book Thistledown Seed written by Louise Helfgott and published by Brandl & Schlesinger. This book was released on 2022-07-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ** Shortlisted for WA Premier’s Prize for Book of the Year 2023 ** Interweaving fiction and memoir in multiple threads, Thistledown Seed follows the displacement and violence of the Holocaust for a Polish family who subsequently settle in Western Australia. In this deeply moving account, Louise Helfgott explores another side of her family’s tragic past made famous in the Oscar-winning movie, Shine, about her brother David Helfgott. The floating thistledown seed, often seen in Europe during summer, represents the diaspora of the Jewish people who were scattered around the world as a result of the Holocaust. 'Only a poet perhaps can extract such beauty from a tragedy so immense it will shape generations not yet even born. Thistledown Seed is a powerful, moving, if forgiving exploration of hearts so frozen with emotion that their capacity to cripple is seemingly unbounding — a searing, yet beguiling record of one of the most painful journeys into adulthood I have read.' — Sara Dowse, author of Sapphires, Schemetime and As the Lonely Fly 'This beautifully written and deeply moving book weaves together three narratives tracing trauma down the generations. The first is Louise Helfgott’s own present day quest through modern Europe to trace members of her family lost to the Holocaust. The second is the story the generation who perished in the incinerators of the death camps. In the third Louise bears painful witness as a small child to the impact of trauma on her parents, survivors who forever mourned and lived in the shadow of past nightmares.' — Emeritus Associate Professor Gail Phillips, Murdoch University

Book excerpt: When a breeze hits the tiny, ripe, umbrella shaped seeds of the thistle, thye float upward and are gone forever, where only God and the thistle seed know. It would be easy to believe, however, that angels had something to do with the location. Young Lavinia, who was... only six months ago... part of a loving family of four living on the banks of the Mississippi. But, seemingly in the blink of an eye, Lavinia and her brother were orphans, and found themselves alone in a forest, in a wagon with a lame horse and no idea where they were. The children essentially left the direction up to the horses that eventually found a road, and decided which way to go. Like the seeds of the thistle, the children had no choice but to put down roots, and they could not have chosen a better place than River Bend, Arkansas, even though there were those who were open-mouthed amazed that she carried a gun in her pocket. That gun and her skill with it help to decide her future and taught her that some things are meant to be... whether humans understand them or not.
Book Synopsis Faith in a Seed by : Henry D. Thoreau
Download or read book Faith in a Seed written by Henry D. Thoreau and published by Island Press. This book was released on 1993-03-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith in a Seed contains the hitherto unpublished work The Dispersion of Seeds, one of Henry D. Thoreau's last important research and writing projects, and now his first new book to appear in 125 years. With the remarkable clarity and grace that characterize all of his writings, Thoreau describes the ecological succession of plant species through seed dispersal. The Dispersion of Seeds, which draws on Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection, refutes the then widely accepted theory that some plants spring spontaneously to life, independent of roots, cuttings, or seeds. As Thoreau wrote: "Though I do not believe a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders." Henry D. Thoreau's Faith in a Seed, was first published in hardcover in 1993 by Island Press under the Shearwater Books imprint, which unifies scientific views of nature with humanistic ones. This important work, the first publication of Thoreau's last manuscript, is now available in paperback. Faith in a Seed contains Thoreau's last important research and writing project, The Dispersion of Seeds, along with other natural history writings from late in his life. Edited by Bradley P. Dean, professor of English at East Carolina University and editor of the Thoreau Society Bulletin, these writings demonstrate how a major American author at the height of his career succeeded in making science and literature mutually enriching.
