The Garden Next Door


Book Description

A Chilean writer named Julio and his wife, Gloria, are at a low point in their lives. Constantly bickering, the pair are beset by worries about money, their writing, and their son (who may or may not be plying the oldest profession in Marrakesh). When Julio's boyhood best friend, now a famous artist, lends the couple his luxurious Madrid apartment for the summer, it is an escape for both - but in particular for Julio, who fantasizes about the garden next door and the erotic life of the lovely young aristocratic woman who inhabits it. But Julio's life - and career - unravel In Madrid: he is rebuffed by a famous literary agent, Nuria Monclus, who detests him and his novel; his son's friend from Marrakesh moves in and causes havoc; and Gloria begins to drink. In the face of pitiless adversity, Julio's talent inexorably begins to fade. The garden next door, however, is also Gloria, who has been doing some creating of her own. It is this twist that transforms Donoso's brilliant satire of the writer's life into something even greater: a carefully crafted and bitteily comic meditation on gardens, deceit, and the nature of a writer's muse.

The Key, the Door, and the Garden


Book Description

What reader audience is this book intended for? Well, if you are not sure whether God exists or whether He loves you, or if you have lost your way and have fallen away from God and would like to return to Him, or if you have struggled to grow in holiness and have not made much progress, then this book will definitely help you get started on your journey back home where you belong - as a member of God's family. One important group of people can benefit from reading this book, and that is, atheists! Yes, because I was an atheist from age 18 to 24 while studying High Energy Physics at the University of Toronto in Canada. Then after a restless period of searching for the meaning of life when science started to let me down, I turned in desperation and asked God that if He really existed, to show me a sign in 48 hours. In less than 24 hours, God answered me in a dream. That was over 33 years ago, and my life has never been the same since. Your life too can take a turn for the better if you trust what I am going to share with you in the pages of this book. The major ideas and teachings in this book are based on three private revelations of God to the author, and I can take no credit for them. They were were revealed to me during the intense periods of searching, praying, and earnestly asking God for the solutions to crises in my life. God always answers our prayers in crisis situations if we beg Him for solutions to our dilemmas. Making it to heaven from life on this earth is not easy but can be attained by anyone who desires it. Isn't an eternity in heaven with God, all the angels and all the saints, worth putting our best effort forward? Come with me of this journey as I reveal to you The Key, The Door, and The Garden that will help you get started on your journey toward heaven.

The Humane Gardener


Book Description

In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.
