Riepilogo Editore:

Si indaga il rapporto tra un oggetto della modernità di come Ulisse, catapultato in questa nostra epoca "per felicitare la dea luminosa, fino a che ella sarà soddisfatta nei suoi capricci" e di nuovo alla ricerca della strada di casa, reagisce di fronte alla scoperta della nostra quotidianità: un computer, un treno, un'automobile, un cellulare, il cinema. Ulisse scrive alla "dolce sposa dalle belle vesti" per tentare di comunicare con lei e trasmetterle il suo sgomento nei confronti di questo mondo così ameno e incomprensibile per lui, dove tutti sembrano fuori di senno.

Publisher's Summary:

A young woman sentenced to jail sits back reflecting on the crimes that placed her there - and finds that reading the Bible has given her a new outlook and lease on life. A writer, reflecting back on his days as an alcoholic, realizes that his excessive drinking and a hand injury - which most people would have thought of as a curse - turned out to be his blessing and a two-thumbs-up to his long, difficult journey back home to where he belonged. A former FBI agent who has been diagnosed with lung cancer realizes that he has had a guardian angel watching over him all along - and finds out his cancer was in remission. A man whose wife was murdered, through his feelings of anger, abandonment, denial, disbelief, social withdrawal, and then even guilt - being very angry with God for a long time - realizes that with each new dream of her, no matter how hard it was to wake up and realize it had only been a dream again, he did so knowing that she was still with him - looking down upon him from heaven - and always would be. And a man still suffering over the vicious death of his only child realizes that she was in fact his own guardian angel the whole time - and was still watching over him today.

Out of the Darkness and into the Light is an examination of the power of the human soul and spirit, as seen through the eyes of those who have faced up to their own inner demons - and won the battle between good and evil.

Great interviews, lousy formatting

The interviews in this e-book are great, many of the better "Christian" fiction-thriller writers out there, Eric Wilson, Robin Parrish, Anne Rice, Tim Powers, etc...

But the formatting makes it nearly impossible to read! The interview questions are italicized and all run into each other so you can barely read it and the titles of each section are so badly done, it's hard to tell what the title is, because some words are repeated and some aren't.

Bad review by Mr. Paul Rose

To Mr. Paul Rose;

First of all, I didnât really appreciate your review considering it was Amazon Kindleâs fault the formatting of my interview book was so lame. Secondly, you have given a less-than-favorable review of a book of SHORT STORIES, not interviews. The book in question just has the same title.

So, Iâd appreciate it if youâd remove your review, but it is unfounded.

Publisher's Summary:

Sherry Lincoln's childhood home had sat next to the Brentwood Library for 42 years. Each time she visited the library, she always took a moment to reminisce and inspect it for changes as the house embraced new owners. In 2013, she noticed something peculiar: her house was gone. Puzzled and saddened, she inquired at the library, hoping someone would have information about why her house was "missing". Not only had the librarian heard, but she had been a part of the deconstruction effort, which was to provide land for the expansion of the library. Still saddened, but now wanting to hear more of the story, she contacted Habitat for Humanity of Springfield, MO, the organization that recycled every piece of the house, and learned that her house was not gone - it was everywhere, piece by piece, becoming the homes of others.

A loving & humorous look at a house filled with love & humor.

This is a cozy, warm & humorous look inside a house that is new & and a city that is new to wonderful family. It is written from the prospective of the author as a young girl & and her memories as an adult. I expect you will see your family too, as I did. I promise you will love it!

tells of her uniquely warm and happy childhood. The author relates what could have been ...

There are big changes in store for Sherry and her little brother, Hank, who she lovingly calls âMy Hankie.â Born in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida, they find themselves moving to Springfield, Missouri, in 1954. The address of their new home is 1911 Wayland Drive, and years after our author is grown, the house plays a part in the history of the burgeoning town of Springfield.

This lovely story, written in the authorâs first person voice, tells of her uniquely warm and happy childhood. The author relates what could have been the mundane, daily happenings of her home, and causes us to laugh most hardily at them; feisty Hank and all of his escapades, Sherry riding her bike down the vicious Suicide Hill, and special Christmas traditions of the neighborhood make up but a few of her best memories.

When grown, Sherry goes blithely into a Habitat for Humanity Re-Store, looking for a simple item. Thus begins the journey through the years of her past. As she moves between reverie and reality, she discovers the amazing gifts of the house at 1911 Wayland Drive. She tells her story in the fearless prose of the 1950âs and 1960âs.

In this time capsule of her life, our author caused me to reflect upon my own childhood, and how much I may have failed to appreciate its great worth. Her story will certainly evoke your own memories as you begin to understand her deep love of family, home and community. Through the use of her emotional gift, she provides us with profound and sensitive symbolism.

You will be very pleasantly surprised when you discover the real meaning of the title of this book, âThe Everywhere House.â I would highly recommend this wonderful book to any adult or young adult who has an eye to the past. It will not disappoint!

Inner tube rides down Brentwood Boulevard after rainstorms and a cat with a taste for pet Gatey were all a part of childhood, if you lived at 1911 Wayland Drive during the 50's and 60's. True to life, some of the stories in Sherry Lincoln's,"The Everywhere House," are bittersweet.

Titolo: William Shakespeare: Messaggi in codice

Autore: Vito Costantini

Narratore: Gabriele

Formato: Unabridged

Durata: 1 hr and 43 mins

Lingua: Italiano

Data di pubblicazione: 12-03-15

Editore: Bore srl - Youcanprint.it

Categoria: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Riepilogo Editore:

Nel 2016 ricorrono i quattrocento anni dalla morte di William Shakespeare. In realtà, nel 1616 morì un attore semianalfabeta di Stratford che si era impossessato del nome d'arte e delle opere di due italiani, Michelangelo e Giovanni Florio, padre e figlio emigrati in Inghilterra perché ricercati dall'Inquisizione.

Negli ultimi quattro secoli sono stati occultati e forse distrutti documenti e scritti che conducevano a una verità diversa da quella che oggi conosciamo. Ma un delitto, si dice, non è mai perfetto. Non s'immaginava, infatti, che nelle opere di Shakespeare esistessero messaggi in codice, frasi apparentemente banali e prive di senso contenenti informazioni indirizzate ai pochi in grado di decifrarle.

L'autore del presente libro, decodificando per la prima volta otto messaggi in codice, scopre il vero volto del più grande drammaturgo della storia e la sua firma posta sul noto ritratto giunto fino a noi.

Deutscher Hörbuchpreis 2015,

Deutscher Hörspielpreis der ARD 2014,

Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik Bestenliste 03/2014,

Hörspiel des Monats März 2014.

Die Protagonistin dieses Hörspiels ist bewegungslos ab dem obersten Halswirbel. Seit sie vor 20 Jahren und voller Lebenslust einen Kopfsprung in den Pool einer Ferienanlage machte und sich dabei das Genick brach, wird sie ohne Unterbrechung betreut.

Für dieses Hörspiel schickt sie ihren Pfleger nach Hause, um mit dem Hörer allein sein zu können. Sie delegiert Gesten und Haltungen an ihn, nimmt ihn mit in ihr akustisches Archiv, aktiviert die Stimmen ihrer Eltern und ihrer Schwester, die der Ärzte und Pfleger: "Nach 2 Herzstillständen sagen die Krankenschwestern: Wir werden sie so lange fragen, ob sie leben will oder nicht, bis wir eine Antwort bekommen. Ich sage: Natürlich will ich leben. Gerannt wäre ich um mein Leben. In meiner Erinnerung sage ich es laut und kräftig - doch ich muss es geflüstert haben: Meine Stimme war noch kaumzurück: "Natürlich will ich leben."

Ich habe überlebt. Ich habe die Ethikkommission überlebt. Das Mitleid. Die Prognosen über meinen Körper. Das Gutachten des Psychologen. Und ein rätselhaftes Koma. In der Erinnerung meines Arztes habe ich bei der Frage so panisch reagiert, dass man mir eine Beruhigungsspritze geben musste. Ich hätte auch ganz zu Gemüse werden können: Bei einer zusätzlichen geistigen Beeinträchtigung, meinen die Eltern, sie hätten sich dagegen entschieden.Gegen das Leben. Ich denke immer: Das Leben ist doch ganz okay. Oder?"

Title: Life on Planet WWF

Subtitle: From Archbishops to Belly Dancers - My Time at WWF

Author: C.Y. Chong

Narrator: James Michael

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs

Language: English

Release date: 11-17-15

Publisher: Essential Music Ltd

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

C.Y. Chong's captivating and insightful revelation about what it's like to spend over two decades at WWF.

This light-hearted collection of memoirs tells the compelling story of a company executive who walked away from global corporations and immersed himself in the world of non-profit; in this case, WWF, one of the world's largest conservation organizations.

After years of working in the corporate sector, C.Y. Chong decided to pursue a new avenue of work. He joined WWF International as a finance manager and was soon promoted to director of finance; however, this audiobook is about his non-financial experiences.

Life on Planet WWF follows Chong as he travels and tells of a myriad of interesting and unforgettable happenings; being attacked by a mad crow being one. From fitting the letters "WWF" into a television interview as many times as possible, to having cocktails with HRH Prince Philip, he recalls visits to conferences, field projects, or other events - each anecdote providing a unique insight into some of his truly extraordinary experiences at WWF.

This book makes an interesting listen for anyone thinking about a career outside the corporate sector as well as for the five million supporters of WWF and everything it stands for.

Members Reviews:

Many ESG professionals will know Chiew Chong as the man ...

Many ESG professionals will know Chiew Chong as the man who took WWF, the global wildlife and conservation NGO, into the investment field.

Chong, who at the time was WWFâs Finance Director, created WWF subsidiary, The Living Planet Fund Management Company, that launched The Living Planet Funds in 2003. It was a significant move for an NGO to sell funds where the companies invested in reflected the organisationâs mission. The Living Planet initiative is indicative of the man. Few may know that before WWF, Chong was a finance chief at several large multinationals before he gave it all up to for 20 years of campaigning. In Life on Planet WWF, Chong riffs on those 20 years at WWF in this unusual memoir. He writes about cocktails with HRH Prince Philip and searching desperately for a toilet at Buckingham Palace, alongside intriguing meetings with diverse characters including an archbishop, a Japanese samurai warrior and a belly dancer. And of course, thereâs wildlife. The fauna includes close encounters with a âmad crowâ, bees, ants, and more. This is an intimate and humorous view of the global not-for-profit,that sustainability professionals will also find interesting for its crossover in to the world of finance; not least how Chong managed to convince the main investors in the Living Planet funds to stay when WWF wanted outâ

Diplomats and other animals

You might expect a book about WWF to be all about tigers, turtles and vanishing forests. This book will take you into the extraordinary world of getting and managing the support for what it takes to conserve wildlife and natural habitats. Chong got into this more or less on a whim. He soon found himself on the one hand helping to make WWF more business efficient, and on the other hand dealing with people who ranged from European royalty to African bureaucrats. This book will amaze and amuse you with adventures in places that range from Buckingham Palace to meeting the head of an ancient Japanese shogunate on a bus in Beijing. Highly recommended!

Great Fun Read

I really enjoyed reading it.
