Sinossi

In 'The Story of My Heart: An Autobiography' by Richard Jefferies, the author delves into the themes of nature, spirituality, and the human connection to the environment. Written in a poetic and introspective style, Jefferies merges autobiography with philosophical reflections on the beauty and mystery of the natural world. This literary work reflects the Romanticism of the late 19th century, with its emphasis on individual experience and the sublime in nature. The book serves as both a personal journey of self-discovery and a contemplation on the deeper meanings of existence. Jefferies' vivid descriptions and thoughtful prose make this book a timeless exploration of humanity's relationship with the natural world. Richard Jefferies, a British naturalist and writer, drew inspiration from his rural upbringing and deep connection to nature. His keen observations of the English countryside and wildlife informed his writing, leading him to champion the preservation of natural landscapes. 'The Story of My Heart' can be seen as a culmination of Jefferies' passion for the environment and his desire to convey the spiritual significance of the natural world. I highly recommend 'The Story of My Heart: An Autobiography' to readers interested in nature writing, philosophy, and the intersection of spirituality and the environment. Jefferies' profound insights and lyrical prose offer a unique perspective on the interconnectedness of humanity and nature, making this book a thought-provoking and enlightening read.

This Is Only a Test

B. J. Hollars

The Truman Capote Prize-winning author “provides an offbeat look at the fragility of human life and our resilience when faced with death” (Kirkus). On April 27, 2011, just days after learning of their pregnancy, B. J. Hollars, his wife, and their future son endured the onslaught of an EF-4 tornado. There, while huddled in a bathtub in their Alabama home, mortality flashed before their eyes. With the last of his computer battery, Hollars began recounting the experience, and would continue to do so in the following years, writing his way out of one disaster only to find himself caught up in another. In this collection of personal essays, Hollars faces tornadoes, drownings, and nuclear catastrophes. These experiences force him to acknowledge the inexplicable while he attempts to overcome his greatest fear—the impossibility of protecting his newborn son from the world’s cruelties. Through his and others’ stories, Hollars creates a constellation of grief, tapping into the rarely acknowledged intersection between fatherhood and fear, sacrifice and safety, and the humbling effect of losing control of our lives.

Michigan Haunts - Public Places...

Jon Milan, Gail Offen

A ghostly travel guide to the Great Lakes State.   Michigan has two beautiful peninsulas that are connected by stories, legends, and mysteries. This book is the perfect glove compartment companion for exploring those paranormal parts of the Mitten State, as most of these hotels, restaurants, theaters, lighthouses, and other places are open to the public.    This road trip to “the other side,” filled with hauntings, ghost towns, and bizarre tales of murder and mayhem, draws from more than 300 years of Michigan history—from the notoriously haunted remote lighthouses like Seul Choix in the Upper Peninsula to Eloise, one of the most famous psychiatric asylums in America to the legend of Lover's Leap on Mackinac Island. What Purple Gang member still hangs out in Clare? What spirits lurk at Henry Ford's Greenfield Village?    Here is a guide to all that and more, including Houdini’s Detroit connections, the poisonings at Cass Corridor’s Alhambra, and paranormal activity at Detroit’s historic Fort Wayne. Puzzles are still waiting for a solution; Ripley’s Believe it or Not! once offered $100,000 to anyone who could solve the strange phenomenon of the Paulding Lights near Watersmeet. So, buckle up and prepare to explore the eeriest the Wolverine State has to offer.<
