Blue Voyage


Book Description

In this autobiographical debut novel from one of America’s most acclaimed poets, a writer’s sentimental journey across the Atlantic becomes a crucible of heartbreak and mental anguish William Demarest settles into his room, checks his pockets for his seasickness pills, and wanders onto the deck of the ship that will be his home for the next few days. The lights of New York City are still faintly visible, but Demarest’s mind is on London, where he hopes to be reunited with the woman he adores. He has spent countless nights pining for her and is finally ready to declare his love. In a state of feverish anticipation, Demarest steals onto the first-class section of the ship. There, to his surprise, he discovers the woman he is traveling thousands of miles to see, only for her to dismiss him with devastating coldness. For the rest of the voyage, Demarest must wrestle with golden memories turned to dust and long-cherished fantasies that will never come to pass. A brilliant novel of psychological insight and formal experimentation reminiscent of the stories of James Joyce, Blue Voyage is a bold work of art from a winner of the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize.

Thena


Book Description

THENAFight for the Future is an inspirational self-improvement and spiritual development story of Tuana Dowan herself, of the people who had positive and negative impacts in her life, and of Thena, who introduced herself as Tuanas higher self in her dreams. Thena informed her of who Tuana was, the reincarnation principle, and the past lives, her pre-birth plans, her good and bad karma that she carried into her present life, and the negative intrusions in her current life. She also told Tuana that she was a Lightworker, alongside a few thousand others incarnated in this period, with a mission to spread light, in the form of knowledge, freedom, and love on Earth, and that she would play a very important role in the enlightenment of many people. Tuana met Thena several times in the following years; besides acting as a guide in Tuanas self-improvement and spiritual development process, Thena gave her some information from the future, and all her prophecies materialized in time. Under the illuminating guidance of Thena and the positive people she met along the way, Tuana improved her self-esteem and courage, released her ego, and built up her patience. She set up goals in the light of her mission and pursued them, no matter what she encountered. She changed her career and became a trainer and a consultant in the field of soft-skills development. Learning to go out of her comfort zones and routines allowed Tuana to become a person with inner peace, mindfulness, and altruistic love. THENAFight for the Future encourages readers to reach for the hero within and find the courage to create a happier, healthier, and more successful life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yMPbrNqlls

The Kaleidoscopic Vision of Malcolm Lowry


Book Description

The Kaleidoscopic Vision of Malcolm Lowry: Souls and Shamans is an interdisciplinary investigation of the multifaceted, intuitive insight of international modernist writer Malcolm Lowry through an analysis of a selection of works and correspondence. Nigel H. Foxcroft analyzes his psychogeographic perception of the interconnectedness of East-West cultures and civilizations in terms of pre-Columbian Mesoamerican customs; the Mexican Day of the Dead festival; the Atlantis myth; surrealism; and Russian literary, filmic, and political influences. He traces his intellectual efforts in pursuing philosophical and cosmic knowledge to bridge the gap between the natural sciences and the humanities. This monograph identifies Lowry’s attempts to reintegrate modernism with primitivism in his quest for an elixir of life for the survival of humanity on the brink of global catastrophe, as indicated in In Ballast to the White Sea and Under the Volcano. It also examines his sustained endeavors to attain psychoanalytical atonement with himself and his environment in Ultramarine, Swinging the Maelstrom, “The Forest Path to the Spring,” and October Ferry to Gabriola. It also discusses the odyssey on which Lowry and his literary protagonists embark to connect with the past and to gain a deeper insight into human nature in Dark as the Grave Wherein My Friend is Laid, La Mordida, and “Through the Panama.” Scholars of cultural studies, history, humanities, Latin American studies, literature, and Russian studies will find this book particularly useful.
