Sinopsis

In 'Editha's Burglar', Frances Hodgson Burnett masterfully weaves a narrative that explores themes of love, societal expectations, and personal redemption. Set against the backdrop of early 20th century America, this novella captures the eccentricities of its characters with vivid detail and insightful dialogue. Burnett employs a blend of humor and poignancy, propelling the reader through a plot that intertwines the mundane with the extraordinary, offering a reflective commentary on moral choices and human relationships within a constricted societal framework. Frances Hodgson Burnett, renowned for her ability to create enchanting tales, infused 'Editha's Burglar' with personal touches reflective of her own experiences. The daughter of an embattled family, Burnett often grappled with themes of loss, resilience, and transformation throughout her writing, as evidenced in her well-received works like 'The Secret Garden' and 'A Little Princess'. Drawing from the complexity of her own life, she presents characters that resonate with authenticity and depth, making her observations of human nature all the more poignant. This novella is highly recommended for readers seeking both entertainment and introspection. Burnett's engaging storytelling and rich characterization make 'Editha's Burglar' a delightful exploration of life'Äôs unpredictable twists and the transformative power of love, inviting readers to reflect on their own lives and choices.

    parsetreeforestfire is a bilingual book of poetry in which poems in Singlish occupy one side of the book, and poems in English on the other. Conventionally such a book functions as a way for a person to learn a new language, but it remains to be seen if translation has successfully occurred, or if the book even intends to teach any reader how to speak either language. Instead, if poetry is intense attention to language, then this book can be considered to be the product of such scrutiny on the languages the book is written in.

    Silver Winner, Focused Topic-Translation, Nautilus Book Awards “Delicate and tough, a crafted danger, full of wit as well as abandon, Hafiz’s lyric is one of the rare mysteries of world literature.” —Coleman Barks, author and translator of The Essential Rumi   I have this gem and it’s looking for a beholder   Hafiz of Shiraz (also known as Hafez) remains the most beloved name in all of Persian literature. Indeed, his mystic, lyric poetry is cherished as one of the great achievements of world literature, on a par with Dante, Goethe, and Shakespeare.  Hafiz’s Little Book of Life is a lush collection of more than 250 selections from his lifework. Also included is a vivid portrait of his life and times, translators’ notes, an extensive glossary, a bibliography, and an appendix on Hafiz as an oracle. Here are classic soaring flights of fancy and solid life lessons—made new by two award-winning translators.   This is the perfect introduction to Hafiz for all lovers of poetry and seekers of love, spirituality, and wisdom. Let the unforgettable words of Hafiz shine through you with their love, profundity, wit, and celebration of life.   “This is translation as a real ‘carrying-across,’ as art, not artifact . . . this one drops the reader/listener directly into their own soul-struggle. Immerse yourself and be transformed!” —Neil Douglas-Klotz, author of The Sufi Book of Life and A Little Book of Sufi Stories   “From the first page, you are invited to settle into a sublime sanctuary and partake in enchantment until you feel the Beloved inside your beating heart and running through your veins.” —Ari Honarvar, author of A Girl Called Rumi
