Sinopse

The Tuscia Notebooks
A journey through Tuscia on the wings of tales from the past, told to young readers, to preserve the memory and identity of every region.Viterbo (Vetèrbe in the local Viterbese dialect), the capital of the province of the same name in northern Lazio, also known as Tuscia, is located on the lower slopes of the Cimini Mountains and extends westward into the final stretch of the Maremma plain. Its origins are ancient (it is believed that Viterbo derives from the Latin Vetus Urbs, meaning “Old City”) and it boasts the largest medieval historic centre in Europe, with some perfectly preserved neighbourhoods. This historic centre is encircled by walls and surrounded by modern districts, while to the southwest lie valuable agricultural, archaeological, and thermal areas.
The city and its inhabitants are the protagonists of countless legends that fade into the mists of time.PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

Abhay - Fearless

Yashomatinandana Dasa

This book was composed during the journey from Jagannatha Puri to Vrindavana. I was anxious to get to the Holy Dhama of Vrindavana due to the presence of my spiritual master's samadhi. Our spiritual family comes together every year to celebrate his transcendental disappearance. Fear always intrigued me in general, thinking myself a breaker of rules and advocate of an easier and more direct way of living, I considered fear my friend. In society I observed different anxieties from social anxiety, to financial stress, physical conditioning or leadership pressure. All these fears originated in the forgetfulness of the living entity about the intrinsic presence of God everywhere and within everyone. People in general have forgotten the divine life of service and humility ending up in a selfish circle of bodily misery and construed philosophy. Anxious to live happily and fed until one faces death, the common man is fearful at every step and thus tries very hard by dint of scientific research to prolong life and prevent death. Inevitably, science has failed and death scares the people in general, because they lost understanding of the eternal soul. Such ignorance is pitiable and we must educate the general class of people that the living entity is eternal and eternally connected to Supreme Lord. Thus, this book is comprised to teach the people and remind them again for spiritual development. The first teaching of spiritual life is: You are not the body, but a conscious soul living within the being. The body is merely a vehicle to travel through this lifetime and enjoy accordingly. The greatest fear is to serve Kṛṣṇa perfectly, but because we have failed to do so, we continue to wander uselessly in time and space. Anxious to come home to the original spiritual consciousness, we search for so many ways, looking for Kṛṣṇa in so many activities. Actually, it is very simple to get back to Kṛṣṇa. Simply by chanting the Holy Name of the Lord one can attain fearlessness.

Alice's Adventures In Wonderland...

Lewis Carroll

A delightful version of Alice's Adventures following that scurrying Rabbit with the watch that is shortened for the enjoyment of younger children. She meets all of the strange talking animals (and they are just as rude or silly as usual) and eats and drinks from all of the bottles and grows and shrinks alarmingly just like in the longer version. Enjoy.

Winnie Nash Is Not Your Sunshine

Nicole Melleby

In this powerful novel by an award-winning author, 12-year-old Winnie Nash is forced to live with her grandma for the summer and finds herself torn between her family’s secrets and the joy of celebrating Pride. Winnie Nash never used to have so many secrets. But then she agreed to stay with her grandma for the summer so her mom can take care of her health during her latest pregnancy. Now Winnie plays card games with Grandma’s friends (boring), joins the senior citizen book club (fine, even if no one thinks she’ll read the books), and absolutely does not talk about her mom’s sad days (she never used to be so sad…). The biggest secret is that her parents asked Winnie not to mention she’s gay to Grandma. And there’s a really cute girl who also hangs out with the senior citizens. What happens if Grandma notices just how much Winnie likes Pippa? The longer Winnie hides the truth, the more she longs to be surrounded by her LGBTQ+ community and the more she feels like the only place she can be herself is at New York City’s Pride celebration. Winnie decides she’ll get to Pride, one way or another. But is this just one more secret she has to keep?
