In Theodore Roosevelt: An Autobiography, the 26th president of the United States presents a warm depiction of his life as head of state, describing both his personal family life and professional dealings with organizations and politicians.
Ruth Markel is the mother of the late Dan Markel, a noted law professor who was murdered in Tallahassee, Florida, in 2014. In The Unveiling, she describes her experiences since the day of Dan's death from several distinct perspectives: ● As a devastated mother with the unique human perspective of becoming a homicide survivor and victim. ● As a woman whose attempts to achieve normalcy and live a healthy life are continually interrupted by painful reminders, a rollercoaster of hearings, frequently changing trial dates, verdicts, and appeals. ● As an engaged citizen using what she has learned to help other victims of homicide and violent crimes recover from trauma and begin an optimistic outlook on life. ● As an insider who shows how our collective network of family, friends, and experts have helped her family remain involved, motivated, and hopeful. ● As a grandmother who had not been allowed to see her grandchildren in many years, she used advocacy to inspire the Florida State Legislature to pass a grandparent visitation bill. ● And as an experienced author of nine books using the written word to effectively address the shift from grief to promise.Voir livre
If you think you know what mental health during and after pregnancy looks like, Persevered: A Maternal Mental Health Memoir will make you reconsider. This book is a raw personal account of surviving the darkest moments of new motherhood while juggling high expectations at home and at work. Zivin takes the listener on an intimate and eye-opening journey that weaves together her perinatal medical records, journal entries, research, and imperfect memories. The story unfolds across hospital rooms, the author's home, and the university where she works, highlighting the complexity of holding on to one's identity when everything feels uncertain. Zivin writes with striking honesty about the confusion, guilt, and isolation that so many mothers experience alone but rarely admit to others. Persevered moves beyond one woman's survival, breaking the silence that still surrounds maternal mental health. Zivin’s story reminds us that reaching out, sharing our experiences, and demanding better support can make a difference, not just for mothers but for families and communities. This memoir is for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, anyone who has supported a loved one through challenging times, or anyone who believes that honest storytelling can spark real change.Voir livre
Part cultural history, part biography, this is the fascinating story of Richard Wagner's life, influences, gift for storytelling, and artistic revolution, culminating in his dramatic journey to write The Ring Cycle. The Ring Cycle is one of the most epic and compelling operas of the nineteenth century, created by a composer who was, alongside Dickens, Tolstoy, and Victor Hugo, also one of the century's master storytellers. But the story of how Richard Wagner created the work is one full of intrigue and triumphs against unlikely odds—as well as controversy, due to the composer's antisemitic views and popularity with the Nazi party. In Wagner and the Creation of the Ring, Michael Downes combines cultural history and biography to recount the colorful, fascinating, and insightful journey behind the creation of The Ring and its mythology. He tells the story of how and why this extraordinary masterpiece came into being, why it takes the form it does, why it fascinates and obsesses so many—and horrifies others—and why it still matters today.Voir livre
“On a par with Alice in Wonderland, a real treasure of our literature… Full of wisdom, the wisdom of life.” – Henry Miller, author of Tropic of Cancer When Fritz first arrived at Gurdjieff’s Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man, the mystic asked the boy what he wanted to learn. Fritz replied, "I want to know everything. Everything about man. I think it is called psychology or maybe philosophy." Gurdjieff answered with a sigh, "Your answer makes life difficult for me. I am the only one who teaches what you ask. You make more work for me." Thus, Fritz became perhaps the most intimate student of this controversial teacher, but Gurdjieff was more than just a guru to Fritz. He was a father figure whose influence Peters never shook, and always struggled to integrate. This stunning memoir covering Peters' first years at the Institute retains a child's naive perspective while offering photorealistic recall of Gurdjieff, the workings of his intentional community, and the eccentric characters who lived there. Read by actor Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild, Lords of Dogtown, Walden), this audiobook is a lively way to enjoy the classic memoir. Piano solo of “Women’s Waltz,” composed by G. I. Gurdjieff and Thomas De Hartmann, played by Martín Dalesson.Voir livre
