Maria's Code by Cynthia Engelmann Pdf

A naïve English farmer’s wife travels alone to Poznan, Poland, to visit the Zachodni Institute; an archive that holds records of the wartime Polish Resistance. It is the start of an adventure into history, and all that had been hidden since the Nuremberg Trials where Stalin and dismissed all evidence submitted by the Poles and the ensuing 45-year Russian occupation of Poland ensured their silence. On a quest to distinguish fact from fiction, Cynthia Engelmann investigates the truth of an unpublished manuscript bequeathed to her upon the death of Maria Weychan. Maria’s memoire had revealed an extraordinary tale of intrigue, romance, imprisonment and survival, as told a by a young Polish dancer in Berlin after the end of World War II. She had survived life in a camp with her mother for longer than had previously been thought possible. Had they collaborated with the Germans to protect themselves? Finding herself part of a movement to collate events of history previously hidden and silenced, Cynthia uncovers the leads of the evidence to share the truth of Maria’s memoire.

Maria Isabel by Petru Plesa Pdf

The novel is a combination between mystery and suspense which introduces you to the subject from the first page. The book reveals the extremes of the human condition from the most absurd to the most uplifting, a condition that has been present with us at all times. Maria Isabel is a fiction novel that unfolds in three dimensions, intertwining in a harmonious and intriguing way.The first dimension is a historical one, an account of life, people and places, from 17th century Spain. The second is a psychological one, where we know the subjective feelings of the characters fighting with their own problems, their own ephemeris. but also human nature in its individual and group manifestation.The third dimension is a spiritual one, and here we witness the confrontation between religion and spirituality, a debate between believing and being, between socio-cultural programming and freedom, a debate in which whoever is right does not win, whoever has power wins . Here the difference between dry dogma and truth will be perceived very clearly and intensely, and any different point of view must be silenced, regardless of facts or evidence. The great inquisitor was called to a small village to take over and judge a witch. The process is complicated, everything being atypical, and although he is overwhelmed by the situation, despite the evidence, he decides that the defendant should be purified. During the purification, he has the surprise of his life, a surprise that determines him to reconsider everything he knows, a surprise that shakes the world from its foundations and shatters it irretrievably. As a result, he decides to redeem his previous way of life, making a radical decision.

Maria by Michelle Moran Pdf

Maria von Trapp. You know the name and the iconic songs, but do you know her real story? This dramatic novel, based on the woman glamorized in The Sound of Music, brings Maria to life as never before. “As immersive, heartbreaking, and ultimately redemptive as the musical . . . This one is not to be missed.”—Allison Pataki, author of Finding Margaret Fuller In the 1950s, Oscar Hammerstein is asked to write the lyrics to a musical based on the life of a woman named Maria von Trapp. He’s intrigued to learn that she was once a novice who hoped to live quietly as an Austrian nun before her abbey sent her away to teach a widowed baron’s sickly child. What should have been a ten-month assignment, however, unexpectedly turned into a marriage proposal. And when the family was forced to flee their home to escape the Nazis, it was Maria who instructed them on how to survive using nothing but the power of their voices. It’s an inspirational story, to be sure, and as half of the famous Rodgers & Hammerstein duo, Hammerstein knows it has big Broadway potential. Yet much of Maria’s life will have to be reinvented for the stage, and with the horrors of war still fresh in people’s minds, Hammerstein can’t let audiences see just how close the von Trapps came to losing their lives. But when Maria sees the script that is supposedly based on her life, she becomes so incensed that she sets off to confront Hammerstein in person. Told that he’s busy, she is asked to express her concerns to his secretary, Fran, instead. The pair strike up an unlikely friendship as Maria tells Fran about her life, contradicting much of what will eventually appear in The Sound of Music. A tale of love, loss, and the difficult choices that we are often forced to make, Maria is a powerful reminder that the truth is usually more complicated—and certainly more compelling—than the stories immortalized by Hollywood.
