This book of short stories is both charmed and charming which was written to bring magic and wonder into the lives of its readers. The twenty two tales, and the art works that inspired them, are short explorations and expositions of aspects of our consciousness, inspired by the 22 Keys of the Major Arcana of the Tarot. The essence of these tall tales is what makes us human. Not one story takes long to listen to but their significance might take a little time to filter through to the reader’s awareness. Simply spot serendipities and chance encounters that come in after reading it to know the magic is working. What readers are saying: "This book gives us the encouragement to step up and step out so we can live our lives out loud in ways we may not have thought of before ..." "It reminded me of this quote of Helen Keller, 'One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar'. What the Germinatrix awakens in the reader is the impulse to soar." "I must remember to talk to my windows some more …" "Ohhhh, the Perception Deception has made me cry!" "… someday I want to hear the story of what the female seahorse does after she leaves."Zum Buch
Under The Sunset was Bram Stoker's first collection of short stories. It is a collection of eight stories for children with 33 illustrations by W. Fitzgerald and W. V. Cockburn. It was first published in the UK in November 1881 by Sampson Low, Marston, Searle and Rivington, London. Far, far away, there is a beautiful Country which no human eye has ever seen in waking hours. Under the Sunset it lies, where the distant horizon bounds the day, and where the clouds, splendid with light and color, give a promise of the glory and beauty that encompass it. Sometimes it is given to us to see it in dreams. This Country is the Land Under the Sunset. This is the story of that Country, and what happened when evil came to abide there. It is a story all of us must hear.Zum Buch
Hard Times is unusual in several respects. It is by far the shortest of Dickens' novels, barely a quarter of the length of those written immediately before and after it. Also, unlike all but one of his other novels, Hard Times has neither a preface nor illustrations. Moreover, it is his only novel not to have scenes set in London. Instead the story is set in the fictitious Victorian industrial Coketown, a generic Northern English mill-town, in some ways similar to Manchester, though smaller. Coketown may be partially based upon 19th-century Preston. One of Dickens's reasons for writing Hard Times was that sales of his weekly periodical, Household Words, were low, and it was hoped its publication in instalments would boost circulation - as indeed proved to be the case. Since publication it has received a mixed response from critics. Critics such as F. R. Leavis, George Bernard Shaw, and Thomas Macaulay have mainly focused on Dickens's treatment of trade unions and his post-Industrial Revolution pessimism regarding the divide between capitalist mill owners and undervalued workers during the Victorian era.Zum Buch
