  Three great nonfiction works from the Nobel Prize–winning, Catholic, French author of Thérèse Desqueyroux.Saint Margaret of CortonaFor François Mauriac, Saint Margaret of Cortona became a source of fascination and solace during the Nazi occupation of France. During that time, feeling himself and all his countrymen to be among the downtrodden, he wrote this biography of the thirteenth-century Italian penitent who would become the patron saint of the homeless . . .Born in 1247 to a farming family in a small village outside Perugia, Margaret of Cortona was willful and reckless in her youth. At age seventeen, she became a wealthy man’s mistress—even bearing his son out of wedlock. But her life of sin ended when she found her lover murdered.Devoting herself to prayer and penance, Margaret eventually joined the Third Order of St. Francis and took a vow of poverty. She established a hospital for the poor and homeless at Cortona. On divine command, she challenged her own bishop for his lavish and warlike lifestyle. Canonized by Pope Benedict XIII in 1728, she became a patron saint of the downtrodden, including the falsely accused, homeless, orphaned, and mentally ill, as well as midwives, penitents, single mothers, reformed prostitutes, and third children.Letters on Art and LiteratureIn this collection of letters, Mauriacshares fascinating insights through correspondence with Albert Camus, Jean Cocteau, and other authors, artists, intellectuals, as well as the readers of his various articles and columns. The letters delve into a variety of topics—from the death of Georges Bernanos to the correspondence between Paul Claudel and Andre Gide, and the Routier youth movement.Proust’s Way The thinking and suffering of the author of Remembrance of Things Past are intimately exposed in these letters to Mauriac.

  What do writers want from plot? 
  What do writers need from plot? 
  Are those questions the same? Not really. As wordsmiths, we writers know that want and need are two different words. 
  ·      The want is a circumstance that we writers can control. We want plot specifics to help us craft story and exceed reader expectations. 
  ·      The need is a circumstance of obligations from reader expectations of story. While readers may want the comfort of the genre elements (the tropes), they also wish to have their interest and curiosity piqued. 
  Can we writers deliver on the expectations and the surprises in order to please our readers? That’s the question that Discovering Your Plot answers. 
  This guidebook covers plot structure and the necessities of genre expectations so we writers can anticipate what readers want. It explores the six most common plot structures and has a detailed examination of 12 major sections in all novels, no matter the genre. 
  By the end of Discovering Your Plot¸ writers will have the tools to construct a story as well as diagnose problems with pacing, tension and suspense, and sequencing events. 
  Discovering Your Plot is Book 6 in the Think like a Pro Writer series and the second of the Discovering set of how-to guidebooks for writers at all skill levels. While the approach is for newbies, every writer can benefit from this fresh look at any novel’s framework. 
  With her two other pen names, author M.A. Lee has published over 50 titles of fiction and nonfiction.

  Metaphysics - The Philosophy...

  Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that explores the fundamental nature of reality, addressing the most profound questions about existence, the nature of objects, time, space, causality, and the universe itself. As one of the oldest areas of philosophical inquiry, metaphysics seeks to answer questions that lie at the core of our understanding of the world and our place within it. The term "metaphysics" derives from the Greek words "meta" (beyond) and "physika" (the physical), reflecting the idea of examining that which transcends the physical world and investigates the very structure of reality. 
  At its core, metaphysics asks: What is there? What is it like? How do things exist, and what is the nature of their existence? These questions are timeless, and their answers have evolved over centuries, often influencing or being influenced by developments in other branches of philosophy, science, and theology. In examining the nature of reality, metaphysicians delve into topics like the nature of objects and their properties, the concept of identity and change, the structure of time and space, and the possibility of alternate realities. 
  The scope of metaphysical inquiry is vast. One of the primary areas it addresses is ontology, which concerns the study of being and existence. Ontological questions include inquiries into the types of entities that exist, whether abstract entities (like numbers or concepts) exist independently of human thought, and whether the universe is fundamentally composed of matter or something more fundamental, like energy or consciousness.
