Sinopse

In "Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant," the former president and Union general articulates his remarkable experiences during the Civil War and his subsequent political life with a unique blend of honesty and introspection. Written in a straightforward yet evocative style, Grant's memoirs are notable for their compelling narratives and meticulous attention to details, providing a personal lens through which readers can understand the complexities of war and leadership. Contextually, this work emerges from a time of profound national turmoil and reconciliation, capturing the essence of a divided America and Grant's own role in its tumultuous history. Ulysses S. Grant, a man of humble beginnings, rose from the struggles of life as a farmer to become one of America's most prominent military leaders and the nation's 18th president. His experiences on the battlefield and in the White House profoundly shaped his worldview and inspired him to document his life and the tumultuous events of his era. The memoirs were penned during his final years, driven by a desire to preserve his legacy and secure financial stability for his family after his passing, revealing his dedication to both his country and his loved ones. This memoir stands as both a historical document and a personal journey worthy of exploration. Recommended for historians, students, and anyone intrigued by the human experience within the context of war and politics, Grant's reflections offer invaluable insight into the character of one of America's pivotal figures, making it a must-read for those seeking a deeper understanding of American history.

    After flipping her raft days away from help on a trip down the remote Salmon River, Katie Arnold's shattered leg tests both her spirit and her marriage for years to come. It also reignites her meditation practice and motivates her to dive into Zen in search of healing. Before the accident, Katie was an elite ultrarunner with a simmering but adequate marriage who avoided being indoors whenever possible. But who is she afterwards? 
     
     
     
    In the midst of hardship, Katie turns for support to the Zen practice she had long dabbled in. Brief Flashings in the Phenomenal World is a Zen study wrapped in a memoir that tells the story of a search for stillness by a woman born for wildness. Spanning roughly two years, from shortly before the accident through the long, uncertain healing of both leg and marriage, it is a personal narrative of that tumultuous time nested inside meditations on Zen. 
     
     
     
    As the late Japanese master Shunryu Suzuki wrote, "Sometimes a flashing will come through the dark sky." These brief flashings are enlightenment—moments when we suddenly feel as if we're part of everything, and everything's part of us. This book is about how to experience the flashings when they come, and about what they mean for how we live our lives.

    Mark Twain, Bret Harte, Ina Coolbrith, and Charles Stoddard are the four San Francisco Bohemian writers of the 1860s who set the course for American literature. This Mark Twain Valentine audiobook tells the story of their love triangle. 
    Mark Twain made sure that his full true-life story would not be told for 100 years after his death, so this story has never been heard publicly before! 
    Make a date with your sweetheart to listen​ in!  
    Mark Twain became a credited author for the first time while in San Francisco, a hundred years before the Summer of Love, with the publication of The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. Twain and the other San Francisco Bohemian writers were in their twenties at the time. The de Young brothers were in their teens when they started the San Francisco Chronicle with Mark Twain as a reporter! 
    Bret Harte was the leader and mentor of San Francisco’s Bohemian writers, and Mark Twain competed with Bret for the attention of the enchanting poet Ina Coolbrith.​ This is the story of how that turned out​... details kept from the public for over 160 years. 
    Ina held salons in her home on Russian Hill for her Bohemian friends and their patrons, which became the foundation for the Bohemian Club. Ina later became Oakland’s first librarian (where she mentored Jack London) and became the first poet laureate of any state. But the love triangle occurred during an earlier, more tumultuous time as the American Civil War was being brought to a close and San Francisco grew in sophistication. 
    This two-hour audiobook is important California history told with the droll sarcasm unique to Mark Twain. It should not be missed!
