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 STORY OF A TRULY INDIAN SPORTS BRAND THAT COULD GO PLACES BUT FAILED 
     
    Prashant Desai was seven when he lost his father. Growing up in poverty, his single-minded focus was to become wealthy and successful. Ranking fourth on the all-India Cost and Works Accountants exam at the age of twenty-one, joining the corporate world and working with leaders such as Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, Kishore Biyani and Jignesh Shah was a dream run that Prashant enjoyed, one that very few could even imagine and achieve. 
    In April 2017, Prashant Desai founded a venture to build the first truly Indian sports brand - D:FY. In six months, Rajiv Mehta, who started Puma India and led it for seven years, joined him as a partner. They opened seventeen stores in seven cities, riding on great aspirations and confidence. The business lost Rs 30 crore in thirty months, virtually wiping out all that Prashant had earned for nearly thirty years. The venture failed not because Prashant did not possess the necessary vision, determination and courage; it failed because the number of things Prashant did wrong exceeded the number of things he did right. 
    One could weep over the fuselage or decode the black box. So, when Prashant decided to decode it, new possibilities emerged, revealing a treasure trove of success secrets. The Biography of a Failed Venture provides a brutally honest account of why D:FY failed and how entrepreneurs can avoid these pitfalls to make their business ventures successful.

    In Speak of It, Marcos McPeek Villatoro explores how he channeled his Latino roots to come to terms with the childhood sexual abuse he suffered at the hands of a relative in his home in Appalachia, and he recounts his ensuing struggle with trauma and mental illness. 
     
     
     
    The son of a Salvadoran mother and Scotch Irish mechanic father, Marcos spent much of his life trying to break away from his Southern Appalachian past and the trauma experienced there and striving to get closer to his Salvadoran heritage. His journey includes steeping himself in the Spanish language and Latin American literature, especially the work of Gabriel García Marquez; a stint in Nicaragua with Witness for Peace, followed by missionary work in Guatemala; and social-justice work with Mexican migrant farmworkers in Alabama. Each experience brought him closer to understanding where he came from and to forging an identity as a whole self in the wake of trauma. 
     
     
     
    Riveting, horrifying, moving, and inspiring, Speak of It is a testament to the healing power of language, books, and identity.

    Franklin Delano Roosevelt might be America’s greatest 20th century president, but there’s no question that he was the most unique. A well-connected relative of Theodore Roosevelt, FDR was groomed for greatness until he was struck down by polio. Nevertheless, he persevered, rising through New York politics to reach the White House just as the country faced its greatest challenge since the Civil War, beginning his presidency with one of the most iconic lines ever spoken during an inaugural address. For over a decade, President Roosevelt threw everything he had at the Great Depression, and then threw everything the country had at the Axis powers during World War II. Ultimately, he succumbed to illness in the middle of his fourth term, just before the Allies won the war.  
    	Among America’s presidents, Harry Truman’s presidency produced some of the nation’s most crucial decisions and left one of the nation’s most unique legacies. When President Franklin Roosevelt died in April 1945, Vice President Truman, somewhat unprepared for the Presidency, now had to fill some of the biggest shoes in American history. Incredibly, Truman had not been informed of the country’s secret attempt to build atomic bombs. 
    	The new president had to usher America through victory in Europe in his first month and decide to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki a few months later, but the end of World War II produced only the first of many consequential decisions Truman would face during his nearly 8 years in office. As president, Truman would lay the groundwork for the next 50 years of American foreign policy, as the architect of Cold War containment, the man who signed off on the Marshall Plan, and the commander-in-chief during much of the Korean War.
