The Persian Garden by Mehdi Khansari,M. Reza Moghtader,Minouch Yavari Pdf
For more than three thousand years, the Persian garden has been a focus of Iran's national imagination, influencing its art, literature, and even religion. The Persian garden's inspirational role has, however, extended far beyond the land of its origin; its precepts have exerted a profound influence on garden design around the world. The Persian Garden: Echoes of Paradise chronicles the history of the Persian garden, from the magnificent sanctuaries and hunting parks of fifth-century b.c. Persepolis to the magical nightingale gardens of nineteenth-century Tehran. All were seen as a kind of earthly paradise (the English word paradise has its roots in the old Persian word pairi-daeza meaning a walled space). To an astonishing extent, that vision seems justified. This book was meticulously researched and created over a period of six years in, Paris, Tehran and Washington by photographer, Mehdi Khansari and architect Minouch Yavari, together with the renowned Persian architect and architectural historian Reza Moghtader. It explains the philosophy behind Persian garden design and offers an authoritative account of its developmentintroducing new historical material in the process. This extraordinary story is enhanced by vivid descriptions of Persian gardens as seen through the eyes of travelers to Iran during the past five hundred years. Over 240 illustrations in full color, complement the text. They include magnificent color photographs, old plates and engravings, as well as exquisite architectural renderings and plans of the sites and the gardens. A selection of the finest Persian garden-carpets, textiles, miniature paintings, stone reliefs, painted tiles, pottery, and poetry, augment the reader's experience of an ancient art form that for centuries has sought to meld the physical and the spiritual.

Echoes of Eden by Jerram Barrs Pdf
From comic books to summer blockbusters, all people enjoy art in some form or another. However, few of us can effectively explain why certain books, movies, and songs resonate so profoundly within us. In Echoes of Eden, Jerram Barrs helps us identify the significance of artistic expression as it reflects the extraordinary creativity and unmatched beauty of the Creator God. Additionally, Barrs provides the key elements for evaluating and defining great art: (1) The glory of the original creation; (2) The tragedy of the curse of sin; (3) The hope of final redemption and renewal. These three qualifiers are then put to the test as Barrs investigates five of the world's most influential authors who serve as ideal case studies in the exploration of the foundations and significance of great art.

The Figure of Echo by John Hollander Pdf
"In this essay on 'what the imagination has made of the phenomenon of echo, ' the author examines certain aspects of the figure of echo in light of their significance for poetry. Looking at echo in its literal, acoustic sense, echo in myth, and echo as literary allusion, Mr. Hollander concludes with a study of the rhetorical status of the figure of echo, and the ancient and newly interesting trope of metalepsis, or transumption, which it appears to embody. Centered on ways by which Milton's poetry echoes, and is echoed by, other texts, The Figure of Echo deals well with Spencer and other Renaissance writers, with romantic poets such as Keats, Shelley, and Wordsworth, and with echoes of their nineteenth-century forebears in such modern poets as Hardy, Eliot, Stevens, Frost, Williams and Hart Crane."--Front dust jacket inside flap.

Echoes of a Vision of Paradise Volume 3 by Frank Scott,Nisa Montie Pdf
Volume 3 We wonder how a creature can sense the presence of the Creator? Can someone so far removed truly be so near? Is there a way to become cognizant of God’s imprint in His creature, how He makes Himself known and established in heart and mind? What would happen if that nearness were possible? The answer is found in the following statement: I am aware that I am aware that I can find a clear appearance of God (His image and beauty) in my Soul. To realize, and thus to Know and understand, comes from a shift in how we treat our inner Selves, a change of heart, core, and essence. We thus come to comprehend that we were created to manifest the Creator, using attributes that express and attest to that station! From time to time, a Manifestation of the Creator comes to town, that is, in human form upon the Earth. He dispenses the information required for changes that sets the stage for the way we should live—modifications in the collective and individual design. Our mind-world, sense-perceived constructs run contrary to life and are lacking the ingredients for a complete delivery of both a successful, collective narrative within our planetary system of intelligent life and, as individuals, the changes that bring about enlightenment and the love of the Creator—the Dreamer.

A Literary History of Reconciliation by Jan Frans van Dijkhuizen Pdf
From William Shakespeare to Marilynne Robinson, this book examines representations of interpersonal reconciliation in works of literature, focusing on how these representations draw on the language of divine forgiveness. Christian theology sees divine forgiveness as conditional upon a sinner's remorse and self-abasement before God, but also as a form of grace – unconditional and rooted only in divine love. Van Dijkhuizen explores what happens when this paradoxical forgiveness paradigm comes to serve as a template for interpersonal reconciliation. As A Literary History of Reconciliation shows, literary writers imagine interpersonal reconciliation as being centrally about power and hierarchy, and present forgiveness without power as longed for but ever elusive. Drawing on major works of literature from the early modern era to the present day, this book explores works by John Milton, Virginia Woolf, J.M. Coetzee, Ian McEwan and others to craft a literary history that will appeal to readers interested in literature, religion and philosophy.

What Strange Paradise by Omar El Akkad Pdf
‘Deserves to be an instant classic. I haven’t loved a book this much in a long time . . . What Strange Paradise . . . reads as a parable for our times . . . Such beautiful writing . . . This is an extraordinary book.’ – New York Times From the widely acclaimed author of American War, Omar El Akkad, a beautifully written, unrelentingly dramatic and profoundly moving novel that brings the global refugee crisis down to the level of a child’s eyes. More bodies have washed up on the shores of a small island. Another over-filled, ill-equipped, dilapidated ship has sunk under the weight of its too-many passengers: Syrians, Ethiopians, Egyptians, Lebanese, Palestinians, all of them desperate to escape untenable lives in their homelands. And only one had made the passage: nine-year-old Amir, a Syrian boy who has the good fortune to fall into the hands not of the officials, but of Vänna: a teenage girl, native to the island, who lives inside her own sense of homelessness in a place and among people she has come to disdain. And though Vänna and Amir are complete strangers and don’t speak a common language, Vänna determines to do whatever it takes to save him. In alternating chapters, we learn the story of Amir’s life and of how he came to be on the ship; and we follow the duo as they make their way towards a vision of safety. But as the novel unfurls, we begin to understand that this is not merely the story of two children finding their way through a hostile world. Omar El Akkad’s What Strange Paradise is the story of our collective moment in this time: of empathy and indifference, of hope and despair – and of the way each of those things can blind us to reality, or guide us to a better one.

Echoes of a Vision of Paradise by Frank Scott,Nisa Montie Pdf
Echoes of a Vision of Paradise Volume 1 presents the idea that a human, Soul-possessing Spirit Being—a gated, unmodulated potential carrier of light—who is unaware of the Divine Plan is not yet considered enlightened. To be enlightened one must be a Soul-possessing Spirit (gated and modulated) Being or an enlightened (aware of the engraved Image and Beauty of God within-Soul-possessing), Spirit (gated, modulated carrier), a Light being! To be an enlightened being, you are aware that you are aware that you are a manifestation of God—able to reflect, as in an image. Second, you have the knowingness that God does what He Wills and as He Pleases. In other words, you are His design and no matter what, all paths lead to God! Whatever one may be doing will eventually lead to the process of enlightenment. The only question remaining is, how do you choose to make your journey? Swift and smooth, or slow and harsh? *** One dot of light is a symbol used to represent the whole of Creation. Within this dot of light, everything that is unmanifested and manifested, hidden and seen, far and near is contained as an ever-present potential in transit, expanding and transcending over time into unified fields of a—the Spirit of slow, collapsing gating systems. Infinite points of entry are assembled into structures with forms and functions that translate information into systems of intelligent life and more, male and female human pairings as eternal companions that vibrate in a definite pattern of Light.
