Fifi, the hero of our story is an 8 year old boy that, like most children, loves story time. We meet Fifi getting ready for story time but huffing and puffing about sleeping in his parent’s room! His parent’s insist that he sleep in their room because Fifi sleepwalks, this way they can keep an eye on him in case he wanders off at night when he should be in bed. While waiting for his father to come up to tell him a story he falls asleep, and as often happens, Fifi begins to sleepwalk. He manages to slip out of the house without his parent’s knowledge and make his way down to the village/town centre. His parents discover Fifi is gone and begin to panic! They start looking everywhere for him.

Most attempts to generalize about photography as a medium run up against our experience of the photographs themselves. We live with photos and cameras every day, and philosophies of the photographic image do little to shake our intimate sense of how we produce photographs and what they mean to us. In this book that is equal parts memoir and intellectual and cultural history, French writer Roger Grenier contemplates the ways that photography can change the course of a life, reflecting along the way on the history of photography and its practitioners. Unfolding in brief, charming vignettes, A Box of Photographs evokes Grenier’s childhood in Pau, his war years, and his working life at the Gallimard publishing house in Paris. Throughout these personal stories, Grenier subtly weaves the story of a lifetime of practicing and thinking about photography and its heroes—Henri Cartier-Bresson, Weegee, Alfred Eisenstaedt, George Brassaï, Inge Morath, and others. Adding their own insights about photography to the narrative are a striking range of writers, thinkers, and artists, from Lewis Carroll, Albert Camus, and Arthur Schopenhauer to Susan Sontag, Edgar Degas, and Eugène Delacroix. Even cameras themselves come to life and take on personalities: an Agfa accompanies Grenier on grueling military duty in Algeria, a Voigtlander almost gets him killed by German soldiers during the liberation of Paris, and an ill-fated Olympus drowns in a boating accident. Throughout, Grenier draws us into the private life of photographs, seeking the secrets they hold for him and for us. A valedictory salute to a lost world of darkrooms, proofs, and the gummed paper corners of old photo albums, A Box of Photographs is a warm look at the most honest of life’s mirrors.

At the time of its publication, 1932, this was the longest mystery ever written. Would you believe, 313,000 words -- many of them in a strange Hispano-German dialect. It's a simple story about world war in 1942 between an alliance between Germany, Japan, and Mexico against the US and the rest of the world. 3D TV figures prominently, as well as a cactus that proves to be the world's most perfect food source. A remarkable novel, far ahead of its time!

Storytelling is an emotional and intellectual journey wherein a narrator or performer or teller takes an audience through a new world that is experienced by words, movement, props and story aids. Storytelling has at its heart the story. The story is that unit of information that is a fictional account of event, a conflict, or a transformation. Stories are a way to code knowledge, pass on wisdom and advise. Storytelling allows us to access the deepest realms of our own subconscious and also the collective unconsciousness. It connects us to basic archetypes that can give us an understanding into our own true being and selves. This books connects the reader to the core of Indian storytelling.
