Letters from Grandpa by Gene Kesselman Pdf

Every letter in this collection on its own can change your life - perhaps reinforcing an old perspective or revealing flaws in human habit with one of a kind observations. Together these letters stand as the wisdom of a century, a great philosophical work arising from a nation's commitment to freedom and liberty; And a passionate love of language between a loving grandpa and his grandchildren. With these letters my grandpa has created a valuable legacy and so far chronicled over 95 years of memorable encounters, including the struggles of life and of a nation during the Great Depression and through World War II; to the innovation of personal mobile devices, reflections on terrorism and 9/11 and all of his greatest lessons from a lifetime of travel and discourse. From his first radio to his first pc and now his first iPad, Grandpa Gene's letters burst with life and offer ageless wisdom amongst the constant change in the world. I have never met anyone who grabs life more than my Grandpa. He is always seeking out someone to talk to, making the most of each day, constantly learning as the wisest man you will ever meet and every moment becoming wiser. He can never pass up a moment to brighten someone's day with honest and thoughtful observations, a gentle smile, and his sincere good wishes. My grandpa began writing regularly to us when I was 10 years old. When my brother and I started reading the letters we had little idea the valuable lessons contained in each one. Over 13 years of receiving letters and reading them over it becomes apparent how carefully crafted each letter is and how my grandpa's experiences and his brilliant way of conveying them through the written word have prepared me for life. He taught me to greet each morning with an open mind, to share my ideas and listen and absorb others', and to always stay active following my heart. The following pages are more than just structured words, they create an accessible foundation for living a happy and successful life.

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer Pdf

Jonathan Safran Foer emerged as one of the most original writers of his generation with his best-selling debut novel, Everything Is Illuminated. Now, with humor, tenderness, and awe, he confronts the traumas of our recent history. What he discovers is solace in that most human quality, imagination. Meet Oskar Schell, an inventor, Francophile, tambourine player, Shakespearean actor, jeweler, pacifist, correspondent with Stephen Hawking and Ringo Starr. He is nine years old. And he is on an urgent, secret search through the five boroughs of New York. His mission is to find the lock that fits a mysterious key belonging to his father, who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11. An inspired innocent, Oskar is alternately endearing, exasperating, and hilarious as he careens from Central Park to Coney Island to Harlem on his search. Along the way he is always dreaming up inventions to keep those he loves safe from harm. What about a birdseed shirt to let you fly away? What if you could actually hear everyone's heartbeat? His goal is hopeful, but the past speaks a loud warning in stories of those who've lost loved ones before. As Oskar roams New York, he encounters a motley assortment of humanity who are all survivors in their own way. He befriends a 103-year-old war reporter, a tour guide who never leaves the Empire State Building, and lovers enraptured or scorned. Ultimately, Oskar ends his journey where it began, at his father's grave. But now he is accompanied by the silent stranger who has been renting the spare room of his grandmother's apartment. They are there to dig up his father's empty coffin.

Your Grandpa by Judith Weinshall Liberman Pdf

ABOUT THE BOOK YOUR GRANDPA is a heartwarming story about an imaginary relationship between a grandfather and his four grandchildren. The story is written in the form of a letter from a grandmother to her grandchildren, recounting her late husband's great personality and accomplishments. The grandchildren never knew their grandfather because he had passed away before they were born. Yet through their grandmother's words, they can get to know their grandfather and can imagine the wonderful times they would have spent with him. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Born in Israel (then called "Palestine"), Judith Weinshall Liberman came to the United States in 1947 to pursue higher education. She earned four American university degrees including two in law, a J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School and an LL.M. from the University of Michigan Law School. After settling in the Boston area in 1956, she studied art and creative writing. Beginning in the early 1960s, and for four decades thereafter, Ms. Liberman created numerous series of artworks. Her art has been widely exhibited, and is represented in the collection of museums and other public institutions. During her long career in visual art, Ms. Liberman wrote several books, among them some picture books. Her book THE BIRD'S LAST SONG (Addison-Wesley, 1976), which she also illustrated, won a citation as one of the "fabulous books of the year." Since 2012, she has published several additional picture books, including ICE CREAM SNOW, THE LITTLE FAIRY, COLOR IN OUR WORLD, THE VERY OLD PAINTER AND HER HUSBAND, HAIFA, ANGEL'S PUPPIES, THE GIANT HOUSE, THE BEE AND THE BUTTERFLY, THE MOUNTAIN, THE TUNNEL, THE OLD DOLL, FIFTEEN FABLES, TWELVE MORE FABLES, A PARAKEET FOR ERIC, TALES OF HUMAN FOIBLES, IN THE MILITARY CEMETERY, MORE TALES OF HUMAN FOIBLES, MICHAEL AND THE FLAG, IF I HAD THE POWER, IF I WERE RICH, THE WHIRLPOOL, THE BRIDGE, GRANDMA'S GLASSES, ANNE FRANK IN MY ART, RUTHIE AND HER ANCESTORS, AN INTRODUCTION TO MY JUDAICA ART, HEAVENLY GARDENS, THE RAINBOW, HOLOCAUST PAINTINGS, HOMO SAPIENS, and SELF PORTRAITS OF A HOLOCAUST ARTIST. Judith Weinshall Liberman's archives can be found in the Arts Department of the Boston Public Library and at the Smithsonian Archives of American Art. ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR YOUR GRANDPA is the eleventh book on which Judith Weinshall Liberman, the author, has collaborated with Cindy Nguyen, a Gau Family Studio illustrator. The two had previously collaborated on THE LITTLE SONGBIRD, THE BIRD WHO WENT TO HEAVEN, THE GIRL AND THE PIGEONS, WHAT WILL I BE?, LUCY AND THE SNOWMAN, IF I HAD A LITTLE SISTER, IF I WERE A MOM, THE SECRET, SHOP AND SHOP, and on RONNIE'S ALARM CLOCK. Since Ms. Liberman did not feel that, in view of her deteriorated eyesight, she could do justice to illustrating YOUR GRANDPA herself, she turned to Gau Family Studio to create the illustrations under the author's guidance. In the present book, Ms. Nguyen beautifully captures the spirit of the story and of its characters.

Paper Love by Sarah Wildman Pdf

One woman’s journey to find the lost love her grandfather left behind when he fled pre-World War II Europe, and an exploration into family identity, myth, and memory. Years after her grandfather’s death, journalist Sarah Wildman stumbled upon a cache of his letters in a file labeled “Correspondence: Patients A–G.” What she found inside weren’t dry medical histories; instead what was written opened a path into the destroyed world that was her family’s prewar Vienna. One woman’s letters stood out: those from Valy—Valerie Scheftel. Her grandfather’s lover who had remained behind when he fled Europe six months after the Nazis annexed Austria. Valy’s name wasn’t unknown to her—Wildman had once asked her grandmother about a dark-haired young woman whose images she found in an old photo album. “She was your grandfather’s true love,” her grandmother said at the time, and refused any other questions. But now, with the help of the letters, Wildman started to piece together Valy’s story. They revealed a woman desperate to escape and clinging to the memory of a love that defined her years of freedom. Obsessed with Valy’s story, Wildman began a quest that lasted years and spanned continents. She discovered, to her shock, an entire world of other people searching for the same woman. On in the course of discovering Valy’s ultimate fate, she was forced to reexamine the story of her grandfather’s triumphant escape and how this history fit within her own life and in the process, she rescues a life seemingly lost to history.
