Summary

In "The Trail of the Axe," Ridgwell Cullum delivers a gripping narrative set against the rugged backdrop of the Canadian wilderness during the late 19th century. The novel intricately weaves together themes of survival, vengeance, and moral complexity, employing a vivid literary style that captures both the stark beauty of nature and the tumultuous emotions of its characters. Cullum masterfully constructs a plot that is not only thrilling but also reflective of the era's social dynamics, making it a significant contribution to the adventure and frontier literature genres. Ridgwell Cullum, a notable figure in early Canadian literature, draws from his own experiences as a settler and explorer in Canada. His deep understanding of the landscape, combined with his keen insights into human nature, motivates him to explore the intersection of civilization and the primal instinct for survival. Cullum's oeuvre often reflects themes of conflict and redemption, stemming from his interest in the untamed spirit of both nature and humanity during turbulent times. I highly recommend "The Trail of the Axe" to readers who appreciate richly drawn characters and immersive settings. Cullum's exploration of the human condition against the backdrop of the wild serves as both a thrilling adventure and a poignant commentary on the struggle between civilization and savagery. This novel will undoubtedly resonate with those who seek both excitement and depth in their reading.

    Rinpoche's Remarkable Ten-Week Weight Loss Clinic brings back two main characters from Roland Merullo's beloved Breakfast with Buddha series. This time, though, instead of cruising the American road together, Otto Ringling and Volya Rinpoche are part of the famous meditation master's offbeat weight loss clinic, held over the course of ten Saturdays in a New York City yoga studio. 
 
 
 
Known—across twenty books, scores of essays, and twenty-five years of publishing—for being willing to try his hand at an unusually wide variety of themes, subjects, and genres, here Merullo works for the first time in the novella form, putting together a deft, moving, and tightly compressed tale that includes his trademark mix of spiritual inquiry and ordinary human emotions. 
 
 
 
While it does not promise to help listeners with their troublesome eating habits or other addictions, Rinpoche's Remarkable Ten-Week Weight Loss Clinic does look at those painful issues from a fresh angle, one full of sympathy and wisdom. It will certainly please lovers of the Breakfast with Buddha series, and perhaps bring new fans to the hundreds of thousands who've already enjoyed the travels and conversations of Otto and his enlightened teacher.

    The first time I spoke to Peter Greer, it was at my best friend's engagement party. He was introduced to me as her brother then, but I knew of him even before that. 
 
 
 
For the many years I'd worked in the admin department at Pierce Goodman, Peter Greer was one of the untouchables. A person so high up the chain of command that a lowly admin assistant like me had no reason to speak to him directly. 
 
 
 
Of course, that changed when I became friends with his sister. We were acquainted. You know the drill—a polite conversation here and there at a gathering, maybe an acknowledgment if we run into each other at work. But beyond that, I expected nothing. 
 
 
 
That was, until the next time I met Peter Greer. Blindfolded. Oh, and minus both our clothes . . . 
 
 
 
Complicated? You have no idea. 
 
 
 
Complicated is just the beginning of this story . . . 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.
