Tales of the Mirrors by Peddar Panga Pdf

When author Peddar Panga was young, his parents and grandparents shared animal stories with him. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, these entertaining fables always came with lessons illustrating the universal truths of life. Tales of the Mirrors gathers fifty such tales, rewritten with a modern audience in mind. Discover the dangers of living solely for your career in "The Royal Hyena Guard," where a hyena becomes so concerned with defending his pack's territory that he hurts those closest to him. Meet a raccoon carpenter on a campaign to cure work accidents-and a charismatic crab who fools a colony of ants. Similar in tone to Aesop's fables and the stories of Jean de La Fontaine, Panga's stories explore personal discipline, security, the pursuit of happiness, mastery of fear, and healing. Most of all, they celebrate the enduring power of love. Let Panga's tales sweep you away to a world where animals talk, feel, and act like humans. In doing so, they mirror the best and worst in ourselves, offering a chance to learn more about who we are and how we should act.

Tale for the Mirror by Hortense Calisher Pdf

DIVHortense Calisher delivers another collection of provocative prose, on par with that of Henry James and John Updike/divDIV/divDIV A novella plus twelve short vignettes, Tale for the Mirror demonstrates Hortense Calisher’s masterful use of language in an exploration of the human condition. In the title novella, a suburban man in the Hudson River Valley analyzes his life and discovers the importance of stories after a sage Indian mystic moves into his neighborhood./divDIV Laced with wit and pathos, the evocative shorter pieces include the galvanizing “The Scream on Fifty-seventh Street,” a textured tale of a widow who overhears an incident outside her window, compelling her to solve a mystery while coming to terms with her own loneliness in an unsentimental city. “The Rehabilitation of Ginevra Leake” is the farcical story of a homely girl from a proper Southern family who finds a home in the Communist party. In “The Seacoast of Bohemia,” a successful Manhattan man comes to terms with the fact that he’ll never have children./div Tale for the Mirror peers into private lives with precision and perception, as only Hortense Calisher could.

The Mirror Tells its Tale by Daizal R. R. Samad Pdf

The Mirror Tells Its Tale is the story of a woman's struggle to reassemble her shattered individuality and assert her humanity. She navigates the turbid waters of girlhood under a tyrannical and drunken father, of young womanhood in a chauvinistic workplace, womanhood under a husband who makes her life one of servitude. In these ways, the female narrator's life mirrors those of more than a billion women worldwide. And yet this female narrator is unique since she also has to maneuver her way through the minefields of poverty, racism, religious bigotry, class and political biases, and urban/rural tensions in an underdeveloped society. The narrator is intelligent and sensitive but is plagued by her insecurities regarding language, gender, and ethnicity. Her struggle is to triumph over domestic and social oppression, but it is also a struggle against a taught and learned sense of being inferior.
