Walter Wilding has lived his life secure in the knowledge that he was the son of his mother. But a chance encounter shocks him to his deathbed, leaving his friend and Executor George Vendale charged with the finding of the real Walter Wilding. Meanwhile, George pitches woo to Margerite Obenreizer, but has to deal with her dastardly guardian and uncle. The story twists and turns from the wine cellars of England, to Soho and then to the Alps of Switzerland, where George discovers that Mr Obenreizer is right about one thing to the last... "So little is the world, that one cannot keep away from persons." Originally written as a stage play by Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens, it was later turned into a collaborative novel by the two. Narrated by Michael Ward.Voir livre
Find refuge and wisdom with a student of Thich Nhat Hanh in the pages of this poignant poetry collection that speaks to the heart of overcoming life’s adversities, Zen style This profound poetry collection, written by a disciple of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, charts a journey from turmoil to tranquility. In this deeply personal work, Sister Dang Nghiem, known for her insightful and compassionate teachings, unveils a journey of transformation and healing that bridges two pivotal phases of her life: the years prior to her monastic ordination and the profound insights gained thereafter. This unique compilation, divided into two distinct parts, illustrates Sister Dang Nghiem's evolution not just as a poet but as a spiritual practitioner. -The first half, spanning 1989-1999, offers a glimpse into her pre-monastic life, filled with yearnings for reconciliation and liberation yet entangled in suffering and attachments. -The latter half, encompassing her writings from 2000 to 2023, reflects a stark transformation, imbued with the wisdom and tranquility of her Zen practice. Not just a display of poetic prowess, but also a testament to Sister Dang Nghiem's resilience and spiritual growth, these poems resonate with honesty and vulnerability, providing readers with a candid testament to the life-altering power of healing through mindfulness and deep community. The River in Me offers a path toward inner peace and wholeness for those navigating the complexities of life and is an essential read for anyone seeking solace and understanding.Voir livre
"Spare and lovely as a bird in flight, these poems trace a wide arc - of belonging, of braided identities, of the bonds between people. Here the natural world is sharply observed, in delicate and precise language. A poetic memoir of sorts, the work never forgets heart." - Frankie McMillan "This book invites you into stillness. The poems grasp you and hold you in another world. The land, the people, the mist, the rain, the birds - everything has importance, everything here is holy." - Jillian SullivanVoir livre
Tapping At Glass charts girlhood, multilingualism, and psychogeography from Hong Kong to Scotland. Myths, meditations on the arts and mass media, and migration stories entwine. Through protest-stricken urban spaces, love hotels, farming as activism, frog watching, alternative therapies, and seascapes where racial and social memories flow in all directions, the working class subjects in Cheng's poems reflect on what it means to exist in one locale and dream of elsewhere, where the past and future, interconnectedness and othering, are in perpetual negotiation. Tapping into various moods, Cheng's poems question the making of a self and a city, and the languages one uses to translate microhistories. Tapping At Glass is Tim Tim's debut pamphlet collection. "Tim Tim Cheng is a wonderful new voice in the poetry landscape. Playful, serious, complicating any attempt to pin her down – even in the short span of a pamphlet she dances through images and ideas. Already so accomplished, she is definitely a poet who is going places." – Niall CampbellVoir livre
