    Annette Rowell's latest novel is leapfrogging up the bestseller lists, and with every surge in sales she's becoming more of a household name. The literary success she's struggled so hard for would be a dream come true were it not for the killer preying on bestselling authors.Reid Gardner hosts a syndicated crime show dedicated to capturing the most dangerous fugitives. The former LAPD cop knows only too well how violence can shatter lives. No victim arouses his ardor more than the pretty brunette author who's become the target of a psychopath. Yet falling in love with her could cost him not only the reputation he's spent years building, but the one killer who forever eludes him ... Diana Dempsey's novels have been called "almost impossible to put down" (Romance Reviews Today), "skillfully plotted and filled with realistic detail" (Library Journal), and "spicy, sexy, and sultry" (Booklist). Her first novel was nominated for a RITA award for Best First Book by the Romance Writers of America; another was a Top Pick of Romantic Times; and a third was a selection of the Doubleday Book Club.

    FAIZI Sufi Poet-Laureate of Mughal Emperor Akbar 'Greatest Indian Poet of Persian after Amir Khusrau' SELECTED POEMS Translation & Introduction by Paul Smith The work of Faizi (1547-1595), who held the honorary title Malek ol-shoara (king of poets), marks the beginning of the golden age of Indian literature in Persian. This Sufi poet-laureate of Akbar assisted him in his efforts at reform, which were aimed at reconciling Indians of different faiths. In his best known masnavi poem 'Nal and Daman' he reworks a story from the third book of the Mahabharata in accordance with the demands of the masnavi genre. Faizi also wrote works on philosophy, philology, mathematics, medicine, and the history of religion. He helped translate into Persian the Mahabharata, Ramayana, and other works of classical Indian literature. Faizi wrote the commentary of the Koran. Faizi's poems have been collected in a Divan; among them are qasidas, ghazals, and ruba'is that were composed in the traditions of classical Persian poetry and are translated here in the correct form for the first time. His ghazals show the influence of Hafiz and Jami and Fighani and are early examples of the 'Indian Style'. Introduction: Mughal Sufi Emperor Akbar, his Sufi Poet-Laureate Faizi & his Brother, Akbar's Biographer, Abdu Fazl; Life & Times & Poetry of Faizi; Sufism in Poetry; The Main Forms in Faizi's Poetry; Other Poets at Akbar's Court with Faizi.

  • - arte del movimiento en el tiempo y el espacio
    av Carlos Robles Cruz
    241

    La propuesta estético-escénica del drama holista sostiene que los seres humanos transitan por la fraccionalidad al configurar su realidad individual uniendo pequeños pedazos de vida tomados de las experiencias diarias, en tanto suma de imágenes, palabras, ideas y acontecimientos, sin establecer conexiones que fortifiquen creencias o valores. Manipula la realidad y construye un mundo ficticio donde la simulación y la apariencia se establecen como base. Por lo tanto, en la creación escénica su experiencia vivencial no permite congruencia entre lo que piensa, siente y hace, restringiendo sus expectativas actorales. La propuesta de Carlos Robles, el drama holista, es un medio para propiciar y lograr la unión sinérgica de los elementos que componen el holos humano.Nos habla sobre la totalidad del ser explicándonos paso a paso como se construye la realidad escénica y de qué forma se logra el entramado lingüístico con el que se entreteje el discurso escénico. Aspectos como los límites del ser, la sensibilidad, desinhibición, concientización corporal y creatividad, entre otros, son explicados y enmarcados en el proceso de construcción dramática. El actor y el personaje son colocados como agentes que se encuentran en el tiempo y el espacio, con posibilidades de ser por medio del movimiento. Herramientas de trabajo del actor como cualidades de energía, y la manera de proyectarlas; aproximación al texto dramático y voz se integran durante las etapas, para permitir el paso de la construcción a la creación de un personaje.La segunda parte del libro está dedicada al mundo mesoamericano y establece las bases culturales y artísticas para la propuesta del teatro mexicano desarrollada en este libro: Drama holista.

  • - A Journey Through Thailand
    av Carl E Weaver
    157

    This is the story of what happens when the author's plans to ordain as a Buddhist monk in Thailand are derailed after he has arrived in the country. Next Life in the Afternoon is spiritual, funny, at times irreverent, and full of personal lessons learned along the way.I'm squatting naked on a concrete floor in the predawn coolness of Udon Thani, pouring water from a washbasin onto my head to rinse off the bar soap I used as shampoo. My hair is long and stringy. I had counted on it being shaved off by now, so I had let it grow out a bit leading up to the trip. It's about fifty-five degrees, and I am trying to be as quiet as possible so as not to wake the monks and my traveling companions. The splish-splosh of water is punctuated by my sharp, pronounced inhaling, a result of being doused with such breathtakingly cool water. My toes tingle against the cold floor, and I am momentarily brought back to Boston, where my trip began. It seems to be a different planet, almost, although the air and water hold a familiar chill.A week into the trip, I still haven't acclimated to everything, and I am stuck somewhere between amazement and culture shock. My mind tries to escape like the cool sudsy water that pools at my feet. The sun is nearly on the horizon, and the temple is coming alive with slow-moving footsteps along the rainy paths outside. I should get going. The morning alms rounds have begun, and I hear familiar voices muffled outside the door. I can't make out many words, but hear one that is familiar: Farang. A half-derogatory Thai word for "foreigner" and the name I have in this country that keeps me at arm's length.-From Next Life in the Afternoon: A Journey Through ThailandWhat's with the name?"Next life in the afternoon" is a translation of the Thai idiom "Chat na bai bai." It's a lightly humorous expression of frustration in plans not working out as intended. This seemed to be an apt title, since the author was not able to become a monk. It also ties in the concepts of reincarnation and impermanence, which are key in Buddhist belief and thus Thai culture.

    Vengeance consumes her life. Love would risk it all. Maddie Baker has spent years seeking vengeance against the abuser who destroyed her life. When her search leads her to a small town outside Atlanta, she learns of another missing teenager. Nothing will stand in the way of her mission, including a jackass of an ex-soldier who reawakens emotions best left to die. Jack Quinn learned to recognize trouble in the Marines, and he sees it in Maddie the minute he lays eyes on the pretty, sexy bartender. Her secrets may be hidden deep, but secrets are his specialty, and peeling away her barriers only makes him want her more. He'll do whatever it takes for her to trust him, with her body and her heart. Staying hidden kept Maddie safe, but the search for justice brings her into the open and face-to-face with her treacherous past. Risking her life is one thing, but risking her heart is another. In both, she must trust Jack to lead her-and pray they both come out alive. * "Boldly flavored writing, dynamic characters, and an insidious suspenseful plot will keep readers on the edge of their seats." - Smexy Books Southern Nights -Teach Me (Book 1)Trust Me (Book 2)Take Me (A Southern Nights Standalone) Southern Nights: Enigma -Come For Me (Book 1)Deceive Me (Book 2)Destroy Me (Book 3)Deny Me (Book 4)Desire Me (Book 5 - Coming Soon!)

    RUDAKI: SELECTED POEMS Translation, Introduction & Notes by Paul Smith Abu 'Abd Allah Ja'far ibn Muhammad Rudaki (858-941) the 'father of Persian Poetry' and possibly the ruba'i, was born in the village of Rudak near Samarkand. First a wandering 'dervish' poet/minstrel he later served at the court of the Samanids of Bokhara. Nasr ibn Ahmad summoned him to his court and he prospered there amassing great wealth. He had 200 slaves in his retinue... and 400 camels carried his belongings when he travelled. In 937 he fell out of favour at court (and was blinded at this time as some commentators suggest) after the death of the prime-minister who had supported him. His life ended in abject poverty, forgotten by the world at that time, perhaps the reason why so much of his vast output of 1,300,000 couplets, only 75 rubai's, ghazals, qasidas and qit'as survive (most are here translated, the most published). Rudaki's poetry is about the passage of time, old age, death, fortune's fickleness, importance of the matters of the heart, the need to be happy. Although he praised kings, nobles and heroes... his greatest love was knowledge and experience. The correct rhyme-structure has been kept in this modern translation, as well as the beauty and meaning of these beautiful poems. 144 pages.COMMENTS ON PAUL SMITH'S VERSION OF HAFIZ'S 'DIVAN'."It is not a joke... the English version of ALL the ghazals of Hafiz is a great feat and of paramount importance. I am astonished. If he comes to Iran I will kiss the fingertips that wrote such a masterpiece inspired by the Creator of all." Dr. Mir Mohammad Taghavi (Dr. of Literature) Tehran. "Superb translations. 99% Hafiz 1% Paul Smith." Ali Akbar Shapurzman, translator into Persian and knower of Hafiz's Divan off by heart."I was very impressed with the beauty of these books." Dr. R.K. Barz. Faculty of Asian Studies, Australian National University."Smith has probably put together the greatest collection of literary facts and history concerning Hafiz." Daniel Ladinsky (Penguin Books author). Paul Smith is a poet, author and translator of many books of Sufi poets from the Persian, Arabic, Urdu, Turkish, Pashtu and other languages including Hafiz, Sadi, Nizami, Rumi, 'Attar, Sana'i, Jahan Khatun, Obeyd Zakani, Nesimi, Kabir, Anvari, Ansari, Jami, Khayyam, Rudaki, Yunus Emre and many others, as well as poetry, fiction, plays, biographies, children's books and screenplays.

    "A Victorian Society" is a book about early photography and photographers, told against the backdrop of life in what was to become the most productive cotton spinning town in the world.In 1867, when photography was still in its infancy, a group of photographers from Oldham and District met at the Hare and Hounds Inn, Yorkshire Street, and founded the Oldham Photographic Society and some of these men would provide the early photographic studios in the town. The photographic portrait had been accessible only to the wealthy but now it was beginning to be affordable by all but the poorest in society.One evening each week, the early photographers of Oldham met to share knowledge and to collect photographs in their album, which has mostly lain unseen in the society's archives for over 100 years. "A Victorian Society" has more than 300 black and white photographs and illustrations, many of which are published here for the first time.The book first traces the early days of photography through the lives of the pioneers, in France and Britain, whose work led to the creation of the permanent photographic image, paving the way for all professional and amateur photography. After the Lancashire cotton famine, the late 1860s marked the beginning of the most exciting period of Oldham's history. The author examines the rise of the town to become one of the most important cotton spinning and textile engineering towns in the world and follows its progress through phenomenal growth to eventual decline.The Victorian age was the "Age of Invention" and the Oldham Photographic Society reflects that through its early members, many of whom rose to prominence in the world of photography, commerce and manufacturing, some of their businesses achieving national and international importance. Using genealogy sources and historic publications, the author researched the lives of many of the society's Victorian members and brings them together in a social group not studied before. Their stories give a real insight into their origins, successes, rise to fortune, failures and personal tragedies.The book concludes with a guide on how to date old photographs.
