My Three Lives on Earth by Tawab Assifi Pdf

This book tells the true life story of the author, Abdul Tawab Assifi. It is written in three parts. Each part depicts unique circumstances and happenings in the author’s life and that of his family. In part one, the author gives an account of his early life, including his schooling and the degrees he earned from reputable American universities. He then discusses how he utilized this knowledge to build his home country. Mr. Assifi climbed the professional ladder, becoming governor of an important Afghan province and then the minister of mines and industries before the Soviet Red Army’s invasion and takeover of his homeland. Part two describes when all hell breaks loose in Afghanistan. It is an eyewitness account of the government coup and the murder of Afghanistan’s beloved president, his wife, his daughters and sons, and other women and children in his family. The author kept secret notes while he was in prison, and he managed to get those notes out once he was released. A daily account of these events, Assifi’s imprisonment, and the torture and slaughter of thousands of innocent people by the Communists, who had been trained by the Soviet Russian government, is provided in this part of the book, which is called “The Origins of the Tragedy of Afghanistan.” Part three is the story of the author’s new life in the land of the free. It is an account of how the author managed to get his wife and children to America, which the author calls heaven on earth. In this part, Mr. Assifi speaks of the work he did in America and when he returned to Afghanistan to rebuild his destroyed homeland and provide assistance to its downtrodden people.

Three Lives by Oliver Matuschek Pdf

Drawing on a great wealth of newly available sources, this definitive biography recounts the eventful life of a great writer spoilt by success—a life lived in the shadow of two world wars, and which ended tragically in a suicide pact. Matuschek examines three major phases in the life of the world-famous Austrian author—his years of apprenticeship, his years of success as a professional working writer in Salzburg, and finally his years of exile in Britain, the USA and Brazil. Including the sort of personal detail conspicuously absent from Zweig's memoir, and incorporating newly discovered documents, Matuschek's biography offers us a privileged view into the private world of the master of psychological insight. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Three Lives by Gertrude Stein Pdf

The first published work of fiction by legendary author and poet Gertrude Stein, Three Lives is a collection of two short stories and a novella focusing on the bleak existence that faced immigrant and minority women in turn-of-the-century America. Each impoverished woman must labor as a domestic worker to survive, and all three protagonists have their own tales of hardship. "The Good Anna" tells the story of a young German servant who must decide between loyalty to her employer and love. In "The Gentle Lena," another German servant girl marries the wrong man, and finds herself trapped as a wife and mother. And the introspective "Melanctha" examines the tragic life of a mulatto woman and those she loved. Pocket Books' Enriched Classics present the great works of world literature enriched for the contemporary reader. This edition of Three Lives has been prepared by Brenda Wineapple, professor of Modern Literary and Historical Studies at Union College. It includes her introduction, a selection of critical excerpts, and suggestions for further reading, as well as a unique visual essay of period illustrations and photographs.

My Three Lives by Minnie Valero Pdf

This book did not start as a book. It started as a sketchbook from THE SKETCHBOOK PROJECT 2011, for the Brooklyn Art Library in New York. To participate in the project, I had to complete and mail the sketchbook by January 15, 2011. It was November 2010. My topic was: Outside-Inside, and I could do anything I wanted with it. So I decided to paint the story of my life. I planned the paintings carefully, according to the period of my life, deciding to do the first part, farther away in time, in watercolor, due to the softness of its hue. The second and third parts I did in acrylics, brighter colors provided more immediacy. I also decided to give the second part a shift, painting and writing diagonally on the pages, to emphasize the mental shift my family had to go through when we started our new life in the USA. I researched old family photos, letters, documents, my life journals, my mother's poems, and I painted day and night for several weeks. Each painting is symbolic in that it represents not only a geographical place or feature in Argentina, California, or France, but also my feelings during that period of my life. All the hand-writing was done in ink, with an old fashioned plume, like the ones I used at school in Argentina. The first part I just had to write in Spanish, then translating it all to English. The third part has some phrases in French which are also translated to English. My mother's poem: Primavera, about the Spring of life, I did not translate. When I held the finished sketchbook in my hands, a few days before the mailing date, I did not want to part with it. I had invested so much of my heart and soul in it, and so many hours of my painting life on it, I didn't know what to do. Finally, I scanned the sketchbook, and mailed the original, keeping the digital version. My original sketchbook is touring Art museums and galleries throughout the United States in 2011, and will become part of the permanent collection of the Brooklyn Art Library in New York, at the end of the year 2011. The scanned version became this book.

All We Know by Lisa Cohen Pdf

Esther Murphy was a brilliant New York intellectual who dazzled friends and strangers with an unstoppable flow of conversation. But she never finished the books she was contracted to write—a painful failure and yet a kind of achievement. The quintessential fan, Mercedes de Acosta had intimate friendships with the legendary actresses and dancers of the twentieth century. Her ephemeral legacy lies in the thousands of objects she collected to preserve the memory of those performers and to honor the feelings they inspired. An icon of haute couture and a fashion editor of British Vogue, Madge Garland held bracing views on dress that drew on her feminism, her ideas about modernity, and her love of women. Existing both vividly and invisibly at the center of cultural life, she—like Murphy and de Acosta—is now almost completely forgotten. In All We Know, Lisa Cohen describes these women's glamorous choices, complicated failures, and controversial personal lives with lyricism and empathy. At once a series of intimate portraits and a startling investigation into style, celebrity, sexuality, and the genre of biography itself, All We Know explores a hidden history of modernism and pays tribute to three compelling lives. All We Know is one of Publishers Weekly's Top 10 Best Books of 2012

The Importance of Being Ernie: by Barry Livingston Pdf

I SPENT MY ENTIRE LIFE PLAYING NERDS. . .—Barry Livingston A true Hollywood survivor, Barry Livingston is one of the few child stars who turned early success into a lifelong career. As "Ernie" on the 1960s sit-com My Three Sons—which also featured his real-life brother Stanley as "Chip"—Barry become instantly recognizable for his horn-rimmed glasses and goofy charm. Five decades later, after working on TV shows like Mad Men and Desperate Housewives, and in feature films like Zodiac and The Social Network, Barry Livingston is one actor who knows The Importance of Being Ernie. . . In this fascinating and funny memoir, Barry reveals his most unforgettable anecdotes: Working on set with Fred McMurray, Ozzie and Harriet, Lucille Ball and Dick Van Dyke. Riding a limousine with Elvis Presley. Trying to upstage Ron "Opie" Howard. Even shooting a Superbowl beer commercial with Brad Pitt. At first, Barry's lazy eye and horn-rimmed glasses nearly derailed his career, getting him kicked off his first major film starring Paul Newman. Eventually, his "nerdy" look became his biggest asset, landing Barry a recurring role on Ozzie & Harriet and a regular part on My Three Sons. Fifty years later, Barry is still going strong—from the stage and small screen to to featured film roles opposite Adam Sandler and Robert Downey, Jr.. Like most Hollywood actors, Barry experienced some incredible highs and lows along the way, but he never gave up. "I've been around half a century," he affirms. "And I'm not going away." This is how one child star beat the odds and survived the dark side of the Hollywood dream factory—with charm, wit, determination. . .and big horn-rimmed glasses. This is The Importance of Being Ernie. Barry Livingston has been a professional actor on stage and screen for more than fifty years. Best known for his role as "Ernie" on the long-running TV program, My Three Sons, Livingston continues to appear regularly in feature films and television shows. He is married with two children, and lives in Los Angeles. Praise For The Importance Of Being Ernie "This wryly told saga of a child star who miraculously avoided the crash-and-burn fate of so many of the once-famous. . . an engaging tale of the unusual life of a humorous, modest, and observant man. Barry Livingston delivers a frank and funny tale of TV, movies, and family life." —Brent Maddock, co-author of Tremors and Short Circuit "For a child star, he's almost normal. This poor kid had to sit on William Frawley's lap; we're lucky he's not on a roof with a rifle. . .. Barry is one of those rare child stars who grew up to become an accomplished adult actor. Having logged fifty years in show business, working with everyone from Lucille Ball and Jack Benny to Brad Pitt and Robert Downey, Jr., he's got a great story to tell." —Paul Jackson, Producer Charmed and Sliders. "I have known Barry Livingston since he was nine years old. He always made me laugh. Now he's kept me awake reading his wonderful autobiography. There's a lot of talent in those size eight shoes." —Gene Reynolds, director of TV's M.A.S.H.and Promised Land

Ebb Tide by Frances Train Pdf

Frances Cheston Train has lived a full and fascinating life. Born into a traditional Philadelphia family in 1926, she left home at fourteen to attend the Foxcroft School in Virginia horse country. From there, she went to Bryn Mawr College, but she dropped out after three years to get married at the age of twenty-one. This affecting memoir takes the reader from 1940 to the present day, with detailed descriptions of the author’s three very different lives with three very different husbands—Whitney Tower, charming sportswriter and the father of her four children; Hugh Fosburgh, Adirondack writer-outdoorsman; and John Train, erudite author and respected investment advisor. Francie’s life has been shaped by her three marriages, but she has remained very much her own woman throughout. Though she has seen her share of heartbreak and tragedy, the author is unfailingly upbeat and curious. She has traveled extensively, and the reader can climb aboard as she spends time with pygmies in the Congo, the Komodo dragon in Indonesia, fishing in Siberia, and hunting in the Adirondacks.
