E-book The Potrait of a Lady

Trying to recover here, for recognition, the germ of my idea, I see that it must have consisted not at all in any conceit of a "plot", nefarious name, in any flash, upon the fancy, of a set of relations, or in any one of those situations that, by a logic of their own, immediately fall, for the fabulist, into movement into a march or a rush, a patter of quick steps; but altogether in the sense o…

E-book Inspiration to Live Your Magic : 75 Inspiring Biographies

The most powerful story we tell is the story we tell to ourselves about our self. In my youth, my story was based on my experience. In gym class, I was always the last one picked for teams. “Who will take Larry?” the gym teacher would ask. Girls told me, “I just want to be friends,” but I wanted to be more than friends. My marks in school were not impressive. I passed, but that was abou…

The Illustrated Book of Zen

Engimatic answers that stop the intellect are a specialty of the Zen tradition. Zen masters are not interested in metaphysical concepts, but in answers unmediated by our notions and ideas.

It was Kazan's eyes that gave to Baree his first impression of something existing away from his mother's side, …

E-book Ghost stories of an antiquary

St Bertrand de Comminges is a decayed town on the spurs of the Pyrenees, not very far from Toulouse, and still nearer to Bagneres-de-Luchon. It was the site of a bishopric until the Revolution, and has a cathedral which is visited by a certain number of tourists. In the spring of 1883 an Englishman arrived at this old-world place--I can hardly dignify it with the name of city, for there are…

E-book Irish fairy tales

Finnian, the Abbott of Moville, went southwards and eastwards in great haste. News had come to him in Donegal that there were yet people in his own province who believed in gods that he did not approve of, and the gods that we do not approve of are treated scurvily, even by saintly men.

E-book The wolf hunters

Cold winter lay deep in the Canadian wilderness. Over it the moon was rising, like a red pulsating ball, lighting up the vast white silence of the night in a shimmering glow.

Like the basin of a great amphitheater the frozen …
