Footprints of Sorrow (Classic Reprint) by John Reid Pdf

Excerpt from Footprints of Sorrow Many sorrows are sharp and impulsive at the beginning. Let a mother receive a letter stating that her daughter is dead; instantly she bursts into tears. Quite likely she will cry aloud, having neither power nor inclina tion to restrain herself. There may be people in the room with her, but she heeds not their presence. The fountain of sorrow has been opened, and the stream rushes forth in its own way. No art is at work here. The sim ple feeling acts according to its own law, and speaks in its own native language.

Footprints of Sorrow by John Reid Pdf

Excerpt from Footprints of Sorrow There is not a man whom sorrow has not touched, nor a pathway which it has not clouded. It walks in company with the heart that is glad, and speaks to the child whose steps are free from care. The subject, therefore, addresses each soul. It is the plaintive story of time. The age in which we are living is an outward age. It touches matter rather than mind. It is scientific rather than philosophical. It needs to be more realistic, more subjective, and more inclined to look at the evil that marks off man. Whatever relates to the soul is a matter of interest. Whether the experience be dark or bright, painful or pleasant, we should know it. The words sin, remorse, unrest, grief, despair, unhappiness, point to experiences that are shaded; yet he who fails to scan them closely is not wise. The greatest human passions are linked with sadness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah Pdf

At the age of twelve, Ishmael Beah fled attacking rebels in Sierra Leone and wandered a land rendered unrecognizable by violence. By thirteen, he'd been picked up by the government army, and Beah, at heart a gentle boy, found that he was capable of truly terrible acts. At sixteen, he was removed from fighting by UNICEF, and through the help of the staff at his rehabilitation center, he learned how to forgive himself, to regain his humanity, and, finally, to heal. This is an extraordinary and mesmerizing account, told with real literary force and heartbreaking honesty.

Wave by Sonali Deraniyagala Pdf

A brave, intimate, beautifully crafted memoir by a survivor of the tsunami that struck the Sri Lankan coast in 2004 and took her entire family. On December 26, Boxing Day, Sonali Deraniyagala, her English husband, her parents, her two young sons, and a close friend were ending Christmas vacation at the seaside resort of Yala on the south coast of Sri Lanka when a wave suddenly overtook them. She was only to learn later that this was a tsunami that devastated coastlines through Southeast Asia. When the water began to encroach closer to their hotel, they began to run, but in an instant, water engulfed them, Sonali was separated from her family, and all was lost. Sonali Deraniyagala has written an extraordinarily honest, utterly engrossing account of the surreal tragedy of a devastating event that all at once ended her life as she knew it and her journey since in search of understanding and redemption. It is also a remarkable portrait of a young family's life and what came before, with all the small moments and larger dreams that suddenly and irrevocably ended.

The Worthing Saga by Orson Scott Card Pdf

Orson Scott Card is "a master of the art of storytelling" (Booklist), and The Worthing Saga is a story that only he could have written. It was a miracle of science that permitted human beings to live, if not forever, then for a long, long time. Some people, anyway. The rich, the powerful--they lived their lives at the rate of one year every ten. Some created two societies: that of people who lived out their normal span and died, and those who slept away the decades, skipping over the intervening years and events. It allowed great plans to be put in motion. It allowed interstellar Empires to be built. It came near to destroying humanity. After a long, long time of decadence and stagnation, a few seed ships were sent out to save our species. They carried human embryos and supplies, and teaching robots, and one man. The Worthing Saga is the story of one of these men, Jason Worthing, and the world he found for the seed he carried.
