About this book

"Perhaps "In Their Tombs Unknowing" could be described as a tragic love story, but no story of love or anything else of human significance occurs in a vacuum. Real life experiences by real people often involves tragedy, but it also involves love and happiness, gain and loss, fulfillment an disappointment, success and failure. These and all other experiences are set against a backdrop of other human beings living their lives in their appointed time and space, and those experiences develop as life is lived day by day. John Donne said that no man is an island, but Matthew Arnold said, in effect, that we all are. Both were correct, and negotiating the great sea of life in whatever boat we posess provides each of us with an ever-changing view of the shoreline and an opportunity to evaluate constantly our hopes and fears of planting our feet on solid ground."

Cover of Aleph

Aleph

Paulo Coelho

Aleph marks a return to the author's beginnings. In a frank and surprising personal story, one of the world's most beloved authors embarks on a remarkable and transformative journey of self discovery. Facing a grave crisis of faith, and seeking a path of spiritual renewal and growth, he decides to start over: to travel, to experiment, to reconnect with people and the world. On this journey through Europe, Africa, and Asia, he will again meet Hilal, the woman he loved 500 years before, an encounter that will initiate a mystical voyage through time and space, through past and present, in search of himself. Aleph is an encounter with our fears and our sins; a search for love and forgiveness, and the courage to confront the inevitable challenges of life.

Cover of Reading from the Heart

Reading from the Heart

Suzanne Juhasz

Passionate readers know who they are and since they always recognize one another, they will immediately identify Suzanne Juhasz as one of their own. Reading from the Heart is an engrossing exploration of the needs and desires that lead to a reading "habit." Part paean to the reading life, part autobiography, it shows that reading and "real life" are not warring enterprises but interrelated experiences, each composed of need and fantasy, yearning and satisfaction. As every reading woman knows, novels are not escapes from reality but spaces of the possible, where they can experiment with other ways of feeling and being. Interweaving the story of her journey to self-discovery with her girlhood infatuation with Little Women, her adolescent immersion in Pride and Prejudice, Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and her adult experiences reading Gloria Naylor's Mama Day and Isabel Miller's famous lesbian novel Patience and Sarah, Juhasz convincingly demonstrates that the "romance" plot of finding, losing, and regaining true love is as much about identity as it is about love. And she makes the provocative argument that women's fantasy of true love is a version of mother love, in which the hero of a novel offers the unconditional, maternal acceptance that enables the heroine to develop an authentic self. Like Mary Catherine Bateson's Composing a Life and Carolyn Heilbrun's Writing a Woman's Life, Reading from the Heart is a personal book that transcends the purely personal. It will be a touchstone for women who love to read and believe that reading can change their lives.
