Desiderata by Max Ehrmann Pdf

Written 75 years ago, Desiderata achieved fame as the anthem of the sixties' hippie-dom - the subject of many millions of posters and handbills - and famously narrated by Les Crane in his 1971 song version of the poem. Over the years Desiderata has provided a kind and gentle philosophy, a refreshing perspective on life's bigger picture. This new presentation of the prose poem will bring it to the attention of a new generation. The origins of Desiderata were, for many years, shrouded in mystery. Once thought to have originated from St. Paul's Church in Baltimore, Maryland in the seventeenth century it was later discovered that American poet Max Ehrmann had written it in 1927. Presented in a refreshingly modern design, Desiderata will appeal to a younger generation looking to find the meaning of life, and to baby-boomers who'll recall Desiderata from their youth.

The Desiderata of Happiness by Max Ehrmann Pdf

Desiderata, that world-famous poem that begins, 'Go placidly amid the noise and haste', must be one of the best-loved poems in the English language, revered by many as the ideal philosophy of life. Few people realise that it was written in 1927 by the Indiana poet Max Ehrmann who died in 1945 and whose work, until the 1960s, was largely forgotten. This beautiful little book brings together more of the writings of this remarkable man, revealing a love of the world and a concern for its social problems that mark him as one of the greatest spokesmen of the twentieth century. Ehrmann was not afraid to express his thoughts about the evils and scandals he saw around him, and in his quest for contentment he turned to nature and the eternal passage of the seasons: his philosophical thoughts are a search for social truth and peace. Readers will find in his poems much that has relevance today. Through Ehrmann we are led to look again at our twenty-first century values and to turn for truth and reality to the essence of beauty and goodness that lies all around us, if we can but open our eyes to see.

The Desiderata Stone by Nick Aaron Pdf

The Bottom Line: “An unputdownable historical thriller that gloriously tethers ancient Rome to the 1960s.” — BestThrillers.com In the sixth installment of Nick Aaron’s wildly popular Blind Sleuth Mysteries series, set in 1964, 41-year-old intern Daisy Hayes travels to Rome. There, upon invitation from doting Father Boudry, she has the opportunity to study sculptures by touch at the Vatican Museums. It’s a rare treat — as Daisy astutely points out, the blind aren’t allowed to touch sculptures in museums. But as we all know, sleuths — even amateur ones like Daisy — can never truly go on holiday without finding a delicious case to solve. In this case, Daisy’s mystery happened 1900 years earlier. Desiderata, for whom the book is named, was a blind masseuse working in the Roman baths who overheard plans of an impending coup. Desiderata carved the message into a stone, only to be discovered by Daisy during her studies 19 centuries later. Through Daisy’s investigation, the book’s primary suspense happens in flashbacks, as Aaron’s tale of Desi and friend Feli puts both in mortal danger. As Daisy unlocks one clue after the other — including the location of a special chapel — we are granted increasingly compelling insights into first-century Roman life. Aaron’s cinematic historical descriptions are fully engrossing. Standout passages include those at the Circus of Caligula, in which Nero anxiously awaits a series of gory executions, and during the great fire, when you can practically feel the heat coming off the burning city. Aaron moves between the two timelines seamlessly, and while Daisy’s journey is compelling, Desiderata’s treacherous plight is what makes the book truly memorable. That goes double for fans of Roman history — the book is chock full of fascinating nuggets that even seasoned Romanophiles may not know. While The Desiderata Stone will please fans of the series, the novel also works perfectly well as an entry point to Aaron’s work. (BestThrillers review)

Then she got a letter from an archaeologist, asking her to help make sense of a mysterious message that had just been dug up in Rome. Time to hook up again with Morag, her deaf friend from the ‘project’ in 1964, and to go back to the Eternal City.

Eventually, assisted by her uncle Balbus, ex-centurion of the X Fretensis legion, she found a path out of her troubles, and helped him search for a stolen treasure. So, 1928 years later, Daisy went looking for a gold cache from antiquity, hoping to solve a new mystery, and even more to reconnect with Desi, her soulmate from ancient Rome.

The Desiderata Riddle by Nick Aaron Pdf

The last days that Daisy Hayes spent in Rome in 1964 were quite exciting. She and Father Contini went back to the crypt and made some disturbing discoveries. Not about Desiderata herself, but about the archaeologist who had investigated the place in the thirties. The quest now led them to the German town of Trier, where they teamed up again in the fall of that same year to continue their research. In AD 67 things were looking good for Desi and the Pomponius family in their beautiful domus: they lived like princes. But as her friends the Christians went through yet another period of persecution, the blind young woman found it hard to decide on who’s side she wanted to be and what she intended to do with her life. Would she ever find love? So both she and Daisy ended up trying to grapple with the greatest riddle of all: “Who are you really, Desiderata?” And what’s more, did she become a Christian in the end?
