But all poetry is food for thought and for the soul. Wondering Ardor is a humorous walk through life. From simple contemplations to deep repressed desires. From a mother’s warnings to “Take Your Dishes With You” to a daughter’s first crush. From “Why Did I Get Married” to “I Miss My Life, My Love”. Wondering Ardor is a delightful look at the magical occurrences that happen every day.
Download or read book Ardor written by Roberto Calasso and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2014-11-18 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this revelatory volume, Roberto Calasso, whom the Paris Review has called 'a literary institution', explores the ancient texts known as the Vedas. Little is known about the Vedic people who lived more than three thousand years ago in northern India: they left behind almost no objects, images, ruins. They created no empires. Even the hallucinogenic plant, the soma, which appears at the centre of some of their rituals, has not been identified with any certainty. Only a 'Parthenon of words' remains: verses and formulations suggesting a daring understanding of life. 'If the Vedic people had been asked why they did not build cities,' writes Calasso, 'they could have replied: we did not seek power, but rapture.' This is the ardor of the Vedic world, a burning intensity that is always present, both in the mind and in the cosmos. With his signature erudition and profound sense of the past, Calasso explores the enigmatic web of ritual and myth that define the Vedas. Often at odds with modern thought, he shows how these texts illuminate the nature of consciousness more than neuroscientists have been able to offer us up to now. Following the 'hundred paths' of the Satapatha Brahmana, an impressive exegesis of Vedic ritual, Ardor indicates that it may be possible to reach what is closest by passing through that which is most remote, as 'the whole of Vedic India was an attempt to think further'.

Book Synopsis Ada, or Ardor: A Family Chronicle by : Vladimir Nabokov
Download or read book Ada, or Ardor: A Family Chronicle written by Vladimir Nabokov and published by ببلومانيا للنشر والتوزيع. This book was released on 2024-02-17 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published two weeks after his seventieth birthday, Ada, or Ardor is one of Nabokov's greatest masterpieces, the glorious culmination of his career as a novelist. It tells a love story troubled by incest. But more: it is also at once a fairy tale, epic, philosophical treatise on the nature of time, parody of the history of the novel, and erotic catalogue. Ada, or Ardor is no less than the superb work of an imagination at white heat. This is the first American edition to include the extensive and ingeniously sardonic appendix by the author, written under the anagrammatic pseudonym Vivian Darkbloom.

Book Synopsis World of Wonders by : Aimee Nezhukumatathil
Download or read book World of Wonders written by Aimee Nezhukumatathil and published by Milkweed Editions. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A poet celebrates the wonders of nature in a collection of essays that could almost serve as a coming-of-age memoir.” —Kirkus Reviews As a child, Nezhukumatathil called many places home: the grounds of a Kansas mental institution, where her Filipina mother was a doctor; the open skies and tall mountains of Arizona, where she hiked with her Indian father; and the chillier climes of western New York and Ohio. But no matter where she was transplanted—no matter how awkward the fit or forbidding the landscape—she was able to turn to our world’s fierce and funny creatures for guidance. “What the peacock can do,” she tells us, “is remind you of a home you will run away from and run back to all your life.” The axolotl teaches us to smile, even in the face of unkindness; the touch-me-not plant shows us how to shake off unwanted advances; the narwhal demonstrates how to survive in hostile environments. Even in the strange and the unlovely, Nezhukumatathil finds beauty and kinship. For it is this way with wonder: it requires that we are curious enough to look past the distractions in order to fully appreciate the world’s gifts. Warm, lyrical, and gorgeously illustrated by Fumi Nakamura, World of Wonders is a book of sustenance and joy.

Manuel admires her both for her beauty and for her scholarly erudition, but Jane quickly comes to resent his attention and his advice. Determined to make some changes for the better, Jane accepts his mentoring-all the while struggling to convince herself that she is making his changes for herself, not simply to please him. And in spite of her suspicion and reservations, she cannot resist the Spaniard's charms. She finds herself in love with the very man she swore she would never aim to please. Their young love is passionate and all-consuming, but when a glamorous brunette by the name of Yvette la Flambee makes a sudden re-appearance on campus, things get tricky. Yvette instantly sets her sights on Manuel ... and she's not the kind of girl to take no for an answer. However, Manuel resists all Yvette's energetic and persistent flirtations, much to Jane's happiness. And when she travels home for the Christmas holiday, she can't stop thinking about the romantic date they have planned for New Year's Eve. But when she gets a telegram from Manuel telling her that he has been "called away" and must break their date, she fears the worst. Perhaps her heartbreak can be eased by the sudden arrival of her old boyfriend Donald? What is a girl to do?
