Maurice Maeterlinck

Summary

In "The Treasure of the Humble," Maurice Maeterlinck delves into the profound depths of everyday human experience, exploring themes of spirituality and the unassuming beauty found within simplicity. Written in his signature symbolist style, the text reveals the layers of meaning hidden beneath mundane events and encounters, encouraging readers to look beyond the surface and appreciate the quiet joy that life can offer. Maeterlinck's poignant prose illustrates the interconnectedness of human existence, drawing on allegory and subtle imagery, while echoing the literary traditions of his time, particularly the influences of Romanticism and early modernism. Maurice Maeterlinck, a Belgian playwright and essayist, was a luminary of the symbolist movement.

It is this unique perspective that informs "The Treasure of the Humble," urging readers to contemplate the often-overlooked treasures embedded in daily life. This enchanting text is highly recommended for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of life's intricacies. Maeterlinck'Äôs contemplative approach serves as a reminder to cherish the seemingly insignificant moments, making this work an essential read for lovers of philosophy, spirituality, and literature alike.

First the Patient - The Life &...

Barrett Rollins

A fast-paced account of a giant of twentieth century medicine, First the Patient details how David Nathan saved patients with his medical skill and rescued institutions with his visionary leadership. 
 
 
 
The miraculous triumphs of modern medicine—antibiotics, insulin, cancer cures, longer and better lives—are the fruits of its firm grounding in science. But too often, the healing touch, the empathy of a physician for the patient, and the art of medicine, can be neglected in pursuit of breakthroughs. 
 
 
 
David Nathan never accepted that bargain. A brilliant hematologist thoroughly steeped in scientific rigor with a research track record to prove it, Nathan was above all a humanist, a caring physician who never failed to put the patient first even when that patient was his research subject. This same humanism, along with the profound psychological insights it affords, propelled Nathan to the top ranks of academic leadership. He served first at Boston Children's Hospital, then at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute where, as president, he rescued a hospital on the brink of extinction after its doctors administered a fatal chemotherapy overdose. First the Patient is the story of a physician who left an indelible imprint on medicine through his relentless focus on the patient.

Good Morning Olive - Haunted...

Robert Viagas

Hamlet calls death "that undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns." 
 
 
 
But he's wrong. Some do return. 
 
 
 
Each night after the applause dies, the curtain falls, the audience vanishes, the cleaners dust, and the lights are killed, great theatres become dark and silent places. But not always quite empty. 
 
 
 
That's when the theatre ghosts make their entrance and strut and fret their hour upon the shadowed boards, illuminated only by the ghost light, the solitary lamp that is required to burn through the night on every Broadway stage. 
 
 
 
Many of Broadway's busiest theatres continue to be just as busily haunted by spirits, some with well-known names and histories. 
 
 
 
Good Morning, Olive (named for one of the most beautiful and temperamental of Broadway's ghosts) is about the ghosts that haunt theatres in New York and around the world. 
 
 
 
Broadway is the playground of stars, so it's probably not surprising to learn that even its ghosts are stars. Meet some of Broadway's best known—and most active—celebrity ghosts. Don't worry: like Casper, they tend to be friendly. For the most part.

Candles for the Defiant -...

Kaia Gallagher

Candles for the Defiant and Forgotten tells the courageous story of how one Baltic patriot resisted the Soviet occupation of Estonia during World War II by joining the Communist Party to spy for his countrymen. Trained as a lawyer, Bruno Kulgma Kull was smart, idealistic, and convinced that he could hide his true affiliations from the Soviet-controlled Party leaders, while he sabotaged their plans. Little could he have known that he would end up being distrusted by the Communists, reviled by his neighbors, and accused of being a traitor when the Germans invaded Estonia a year later in the summer of 1941. 
As she was growing up, Kaia knew only that her mother’s family escaped from Estonia a day before the country was occupied by the Soviet Union in the fall of 1944 as World War II was coming to an end. Years later, she resolved to learn more about her family’s past and to uncover the tragic story of Bruno’s ill-fated heroism. With help from the Estonian National Archives, she uncovered documents that showed how Bruno tried to defend his actions at a time when the German legal system condemned anyone affiliated with the Communist Party to death. 
Kaia’s family story highlights the stubborn determination shown by the citizens from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania who resisted the occupation of their homelands, a battle that would last for nearly fifty years when the Baltic states regained their independence in the 1990s.
