Sinossi

In "Old Fashioned Flowers, and Other Out-of-Door Studies," Maurice Maeterlinck invites readers into a contemplative exploration of nature through the lens of his poetic sensibility. This collection combines lyrical prose with vivid descriptions, capturing the essence of popular flora while addressing broader themes of transience and beauty. Drawing from a wealth of botanical knowledge, Maeterlinck's attentive observations reflect the late 19th-century fascination with nature, which not only celebrates the aesthetic charm of flowers but also delves into their existential significance as symbols of life and decay. Maurice Maeterlinck, a Belgian playwright and essayist, became renowned for his contributions to Symbolism and his deep affinity for nature, often inspired by his idyllic surroundings in Belgium and France. His upbringing in the lush landscapes of these regions significantly shaped his appreciation for out-of-door studies, encouraging him to pursue a philosophical inquiry into the natural world that transcended mere botanical cataloging. This background informs the reflective, almost meditative quality found in this work, where he aligns the growth of flowers with the rhythms of human experience. "Old Fashioned Flowers" is not only a celebration of the natural world but also a profound commentary on life itself. I wholeheartedly recommend this exquisite work to readers who seek to deepen their appreciation for nature and indulge in the beautifully crafted prose of one of literature's great thinkers. It is a perfect companion for anyone wishing to cultivate a more thoughtful connection with the flora that surrounds us.

The Unindexed Mind

Tory Handcock

This isn't a self-help book. It's a mental junk drawer — full of quotes, chaos, forklift wisdom, and a guy just trying to make sense of the noise. 
No chapters. No index. No roadmap. You'll find meaning, then lose it again. And maybe that's the point. 
It's part philosophy, part humor, part existential napkin scribble. 
If you've ever argued with God in a break room or felt like socks next to the couch might symbolize existential dread... you're in the right place.

Diamond is Fragile

Rustem Valayev

"The novels about precious stones tell about the nature, structure and search of the gems, as well as their history. Some of them are dedicated to the Russian gems, specifically to the Ural and Ukrainian emeralds, topazes and decorative stones. The thrilling storylines of the novels are interwoven with folk legends, myths and fairy tales." - Rustem Valayev, author 
"Diamond is Fragile was one of my favorite books from my late grandfather's library. Much to my surprise (and dismay) it was only published once in the former Soviet Union approximately 50 years ago and (to the best of my knowledge) has never been published abroad. 
I was inspired to translate Diamond is Fragile into English by my father-in-law - Thom Seymour, Sr. - due to his passion for geology and history (topics amply covered in the book). I hope that other English-speaking readers who are interested in these disciplines will enjoy it as well." - Maria K., translator
