Sinopsis

“Perhaps I will write about my own life as a blind person,” Choon Guan said. “I’ll entitle it My Love is Blind. The word blind will embrace your name, Lin.” His big eyes widened and lit up, sparkling and full of tenderness. His lips moved in a soundless whisper: “My Love is Lin.” 
 
Tan Guan Heng lost his sight at the age of 28. In his first novel, he paints a nostalgic picture of Singapore on the brink of independence. With biting honesty and ironic humour, this novel brings to life the world of the blind and their sighted helpers. 
 
More than twenty years after its first publication in 1995, My Love is Blind has retained its enduring appeal as one of Singapore’s most extraordinary and memorable novels. Asiapac Books is pleased to launch a special edition of this groundbreaking novel, updated with an epilogue and a new foreword by Dr. Tommy Koh, and an afterword by literary critic, Gwee Li Sui. 
 
An excerpt from the afterword: “…My Love is Blind is a deeply rational book because the writing involves distinct technical questions about constructing reality. It explains a quality of composure where, even at his lowest, Choon Guan entertains neither despair nor death. Ultimately, we must see the heart of this work as a great belief in life, what can hold together and transform all the fragments of self.”

    THEODORE ROOSEVELT 
    As the number of presidents increased from the United States’ early days, after independence into the 20th century, it became difficult for any one president to stand out among the rest.

    With that said, there are a select few who are universally remembered as being greater, more impactful leaders than the rest. The subject of this book, Theodore Roosevelt, is considered by many to be one of these great leaders. 
    This book aims to serve as a biography of the 26th President of the United States, detailing his early life, education, career, time as President, and the legacy he has left behind.

An Introduction to Ancient China's Great Philosopher: To understand the impact of Confucius, we must first delve into the historical context of ancient China. During Confucius' time, the region was marked by political turmoil and social unrest.

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
    Joseph Campbell was more than a scholar—he was a storyteller of the human soul, a guide through the myths that shape our lives, and a seeker of the eternal truths hidden within every culture. His words resonate not just as academic insight, but as living wisdom, illuminating the path for those who dare to follow their bliss. 
    This audiobook is not merely a collection of quotes; it is an invitation—to embark on the Hero’s Journey, to see the patterns that unite all myths, and to recognize the divine adventure unfolding within your own life. Campbell’s insights draw from the ancient and the modern, the East and the West, weaving a tapestry of meaning that transcends time and place. 
    Through his words, we discover that mythology is not a relic of the past, but a mirror reflecting our deepest desires, fears, and aspirations. We are reminded that every struggle, every trial, and every transformation is part of a universal story—one that we are all living. 
    Let these words be a guide. Whether you are standing at the threshold of your own adventure, searching for deeper meaning, or simply seeking inspiration, Campbell’s voice echoes through time to remind us: 
    "Follow your bliss, and doors will open where there were only walls." 
    Now, let the journey begin. 
    This audiobook includes an "ambient version" set to meditative music for your listening pleasure.
