  Kafkaesque - From Jorge Luis...

  Maïa Hruska

  A lively inquiry into a literary genius, the translators who immortalized him, and what it means to cultivate a rich inner life in turbulent times 
  "What happens to a writer's work when it is translated–specifically, what happens if his name is Franz Kafka?" 
  In Kafkaesque, Maïa Hruska traces the strange, shape-shifting legacy of one of literature’s most elusive figures—not through traditional biography but through the lives of his earliest and most influential translators. With rigor and élan, she shows us how our understanding of Kafka is inevitably filtered through these voices, many of whom were, or would become, major writers and thinkers in their own right. 
  Jorge Luis Borges rendered Kafka into Spanish, recognizing in him a fellow architect of the infinite. Primo Levi used the German he acquired in a concentration camp to bring The Trial into Italian despite the “psychoanalytic repulsion” he felt toward Kafka. Bruno Schulz published his Polish edition of the same novel before being shot by a Nazi officer. Vladimir Nabokov annotated The Metamorphosis in exile, having undergone his own transformation–from native to foreigner. Milena Jesenská, Kafka’s great love, translated him into Czech, a language he was both surrounded by and estranged from. 
  What emerges across these essays isn’t just a portrait of a legendary writer and his translators but also a portrait of the twentieth century itself—its fractures and displacements, its aesthetic revolutions, its ethical crises. Part cultural history, part group biography, Kafkaesque is a dazzling meditation on language, identity, and the irreducible strangeness of reading and being read.

  American Dream Come True - Why...

  Tony Bertoldi

  What if there were one single way we could significantly improve the American economy, public health, and offer attractive investment opportunities, while also providing more homes for American families and workers? 
   
  The American Dream has always been built on the notion that no matter where you come from, you can be successful. For the past century, housing has played a major role in making the American Dream a reality for millions of individuals. In short, the availability of affordable housing stands at the crossroads of capitalism and compassion. 
   
  In American Dream Come True, Tony Bertoldi leverages over two decades’ worth of experience in affordable housing to explain in clear and entertaining prose what affordable housing really is and who it impacts. Spoiler alert: all of us. 
   
  By debunking the common misconceptions about affordable housing, Bertoldi shows how supporting affordable housing is a benefit for the entire American ecosystem, and where you fit in. From addressing inflation, job creation, and creative ESG strategy, to reducing health costs for American taxpayers, Bertoldi shows how the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC, pronounced LI-Tec) program creates a more balanced society where people from all backgrounds can work, live, and contribute to their community and to the health of the American economy. 
   
  If there is any truth to the phrase “home is where the heart is,” then the call to action for all of us is the same—to put our heart into creating more affordable homes. It’s good for individuals. Good for families. Good for health. Good for business. Good for America.

  If you are struggling with self-love, this meditation will help you tap into the source of love within you and guide you toward a deep acceptance of yourself. 
  If you are here, it means you are on a path toward healing and self-love. Loving yourself is truly the greatest gift you can give yourself and the world because it will allow your authentic self and unique gifts to find expression.  
  Lack of self-love can manifest in different ways in your life. Perhaps, you are constantly harsh on yourself, perhaps you find it hard to forgive yourself or you do not hold space for your own emotions, maybe you stifle your passions and abandon your dreams, maybe you people please and find it hard to say “no” to others. 
  But what is self-love? Why does it come so easily to some and yet seem impossible for others? What does it really mean to love yourself? Why can’t you feel this love for yourself?  
  This guided meditation with soothing music and a calm voice will remind you who you really are.
