The Ghost-Seer; or the Apparitionist; and Sport of Destiny by Friedrich Schiller Pdf

Friedrich Schiller's 'The Ghost-Seer; or the Apparitionist; and Sport of Destiny' is a captivating novel that delves into themes of the supernatural, fate, and the blurred lines between reality and illusion. Written in the late 18th century, this Gothic tale showcases Schiller's skillful storytelling and his mastery of creating suspenseful and eerie atmospheres. The novel explores the consequences of meddling with the supernatural and the dangers of playing with forces beyond human understanding. With its emphasis on the power of destiny and the consequences of one's actions, 'The Ghost-Seer' stands out as a classic of German Romantic literature. Friedrich Schiller, a prominent figure of the German Enlightenment, was known for his philosophical writings and plays that challenged societal norms. His interest in exploring the human psyche and the supernatural likely inspired him to write 'The Ghost-Seer,' adding depth and complexity to the narrative. I highly recommend 'The Ghost-Seer' to readers who enjoy Gothic literature, philosophical themes, and compelling narratives that blur the lines between reality and fantasy.

The Sport of Kings by C.E. Morgan Pdf

The daring, inventive novel (a sprawling family saga set in Kentucky that combines southern gothic with the drama of horse racing) from a brilliant young author named one of The New Yorker's "20 Best Writers Under 40." Here is the ambitious, strikingly original, and dazzling new novel from a young writer whose first novel, All the Living, received passionate praise and rave reviews, and earned her one of the highly coveted spots on The New Yorker's list of the "20 Best Writers Under 40" alongside such peers as Karen Russell, Wells Tower, Téa Obreht, and Dinaw Mengestu. But where that first novel had startling ambition and scope yet strictly contained its remarkable energy within notably spare language and a pared-down setting and time frame, this new novel's energy bursts out of the gate running and gallops through generations, consuming a multitude of characters and plots. The title The Sport of Kings refers to horse racing, and the novel centres itself within that world: a connected web of humans and animals, as well as a fertile patch of land, in the heart of Kentucky. With breathtaking fluency, C.E. Morgan puts us inside the consciousness of an extraordinary range of characters who inhabit that patch of land through the years: an adolescent trying to grow up under the withering gaze of his landowner father; a brilliant black woman struggling with her seeming fate to be a household servant; a whip-smart boy who grows up in the ghetto but seeks to know more about his mysterious origins; and a girl whose uncompromising love of her family's legacy leads her to gamble with her own life. C.E. Morgan's writing has been compared to that of Marilynne Robinson and James Salter, and her ability to articulate moments fleetingly observed or sudden subtle changes in tenor and mood has a similar effect of mingled surprise and inevitability. This is writing that, even in its wildest and most southern-gothic moments, contains both the ring of truth and the thrill of discovery.

Destiny's Game by Reza Pdf

Destiny's Game" started as a will. "I didn't have the life of a typical 15-year old, not only me but a lot of young people," recalls Reza. With no idea what would happen to him next, Reza began documenting the events and circumstances surrounding him. This collection of personal memoirs and travels begins in his native country of Iran and takes readers along on his twenty-five-year journey through Turkey, Eastern Europe and the United States. In "Destiny's Game," Reza uses his unique perspective to talk about his family in Iran and the Iranian social and political situation, including the revolution of 1979 and the start of the Iraq-Iran war in September 1980. "They (the Iranian people) were doing the wrong things for the right reasons. People didn't know what the Islamic republic meant," says Reza. It created dangerous socio-political turbulence that forced thousands of Iranian families to flee the country with their young sons and daughters. "Imagine you're sitting in Jr. High or High School and they (the revolutionary guards, Islamic fundamentalists) come to your class and say, "Who wants to go to heaven?" And, all the kids raise their hands and want the opportunity. It's a quick ticket, a short-cut. All they have to do is walk on an Iraqi mine field," explains Reza. He talks about foreign hypocrisy and, how his views evolved as he witnessed non-Iranian governments' manipulative efforts to exploit socio-political, cultural and economic affairs of Iran. Through this book, Reza hopes to inspire optimism and national unity, and promote fine moral etiquette and improved human rights. According the Reza, these are important fundamental qualities that the Iranian society and mainstream international governing bodies seriously lack.

Destiny’s Daredevil by Otis Davis Pdf

Some of the things that I have been able to accomplish in life might seem unbelievable to others, but with God's help and guidance, I managed to survive, and only a daredevil can accomplish. I was born in the segregated south, but it did not stop me from being ambitious and striving to be the best that I could be. There was always a feeling that somewhere, someday, I would have opportunities to show the world what I could do and encourage others to not give up and not give in.
