Letters in a Grave by George Kanawaty Pdf

While the characters portrayed in this novel are fictious, the settings for the novel are based on historical events that took place during and shortly after the second world war. Hans, a German enlisted in the French Foreign Legion to fight the Nazi regime ends up as a German prisoner of war shipped to Canada. On release he meets Anne, a Canadian who helps him find a job in Canada. While both get married to others, they discover that they have far more in common than with their respective husbands and wives. Their relation develops into deep love, which they express through letters and through clandestine get togethers in Paris, where Hans works for an accounting multinational, as well as in Canada. By the time they are free, following the death of their respective partners they are already in their sixties, they decide it was too late to get married. Only after their death that their children discover the love letters and discover their love for each other. They decide to have Anne’s cremated ashes buried in Hans’s grave together with their love letters. Several non-fiction events are portrayed in this novel, which are little known to the general public, such as: Immigration to Canada in 1904; the French Foreign Legion; the dismantling of the German intellectual property after the war; the Student and workers uprising in France in 1968; the first US bombing of a Cambodian village shortly after the start of the Vietnam war and its aftermath.

Poetry from Beyond the Grave by Francisco Cândido "Chico" Xavier Pdf

Poetry from Beyond the Grave is the first English publication of a large selection of poems by the Brazilian medium and Spiritist leader Francisco Cândido “Chico” Xavier. These poems, originally collected in the volume Parnaso de Além-Túmulo, were dictated to Xavier by a variety of spirits of Brazilian poets from the afterlife, as journeying souls or as witnesses of the spiritual city Nosso Lar, “our house.” Poetry from Beyond the Grave is a veritable collection of haunted writing, in which poets present their posthumous work as if they were alive. The brilliant translation by Vitor Pequeno is supplemented by an extensive afterword by Jeremy Fernando, who traces what it means to speak through the other.

Maddi Madigan, while on vacation, careens into Dr. Gregory Connor on a snowy ski slope. Entangled with Greg and buried in snow, her heart skitters, almost as far as her ski poles. She soaks up the magnificent Rocky Mountain atmosphere over the next few days while avoiding an entanglement of another kind-romance.

Greg, utterly smitten, pursues Maddi the same way he works-hard. When she lingers just beyond his romantic grasp, he rallies with dogged determination. Can Maddi make it through the week without her heart ending up in a puddle of slush at Greg's feet? How hard should she try? Could Greg truly offer hope for a Happily Ever After?

Grave Landscapes by James R. Cothran,Erica Danylchak Pdf

Growing urban populations prompted major changes in graveyard location, design, and use During the Industrial Revolution people flocked to American cities. Overcrowding in these areas led to packed urban graveyards that were not only unsightly, but were also a source of public health fears. The solution was a revolutionary new type of American burial ground located in the countryside just beyond the city. This rural cemetery movement, which featured beautifully landscaped grounds and sculptural monuments, is documented by James R. Cothran and Erica Danylchak in Grave Landscapes: The Nineteenth-Century Rural Cemetery Movement. The movement began in Boston, where a group of reformers that included members of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society were grappling with the city's mounting burial crisis. Inspired by the naturalistic garden style and melancholy-infused commemorative landscapes that had emerged in Europe, the group established a burial ground outside of Boston on an expansive tract of undulating, wooded land and added meandering roadways, picturesque ponds, ornamental trees and shrubs, and consoling memorials. They named it Mount Auburn and officially dedicated it as a rural cemetery. This groundbreaking endeavor set a powerful precedent that prompted the creation of similarly landscaped rural cemeteries outside of growing cities first in the Northeast, then in the Midwest and South, and later in the West. These burial landscapes became a cultural phenomenon attracting not only mourners seeking solace, but also urbanites seeking relief from the frenetic confines of the city. Rural cemeteries predated America's public parks, and their popularity as picturesque retreats helped propel America's public parks movement. This beautifully illustrated volume features more than 150 historic photographs, stereographs, postcards, engravings, maps, and contemporary images that illuminate the inspiration for rural cemeteries, their physical evolution, and the nature of the landscapes they inspired. Extended profiles of twenty-four rural cemeteries reveal the cursive design features of this distinctive landscape type prior to the American Civil War and its evolution afterward. Grave Landscapes details rural cemetery design characteristics to facilitate their identification and preservation and places rural cemeteries into the broader context of American landscape design to encourage appreciation of their broader influence on the design of public spaces.
