![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Selected and retold by the American author Eleanore Myers Jewett, Wonder Tales from Tibet ( public library | public domain) appeared in 1922, collecting “tales of wonder and magic” that had traveled orally from India to Tibet centuries earlier, then continued their migration to become “as familiar to Kalmuck and Mongolian children as St. Art from the story “Six Friends.” (Available as a print.) In the final year of his twenties, two decades before he created the beloved Bambi character for Disney, the artist and naturalist Maurice “Jake” Day (July 2, 1892–May 17, 1983) lent his time and talent to an unusual project - illustrating a collection of Tibetan magic tales, resinous with ancient wisdom on the most elemental aspects of living: the meaning of wisdom, the measure of kindness, the yearning for transformation, the cost of cruelty and arrogance, how to love and how to live with our human fallibility. Of the them, the third is both the most elusive and the most readily available in the daily landscape of life, if only we know how to look. We spend our lives yearning for three things above all else: love, meaning, and magic - all else is a compound of these building blocks. ![]() ![]() ![]() They were called criminals, and the outraged law, like the bursting shells, had come to them,Īn insoluble mystery from the sea. ![]() It was the same kind of ominous voice but these men could by no stretch of imagination be called enemies. Another report from the cliff made me think suddenly of that ship of war I had seen firing Iron collar on his neck, and all were connected together with a chain whose bights swung between them, rhythmically clinking. I could see every rib, the joints of their limbs were like knots in a rope each had an Black rags were wound round their loins, and the short ends behind waggled to and fro like tails. They walked erect and slow, balancing small baskets full of earth on their heads, and the clink Six black men advanced in a file, toiling up the path. "A slight clinking behind me made me turn my head. The cliff was not in the way or anything but this objectless blasting was all the work going on. A heavy and dull detonation shook the ground, a puff of smoke came out of the cliff, and that was all. A horn tooted to the right, and I saw the black people run. To the left a clump of trees made a shady spot, where dark things seemed to stirįeebly.

Bob Ong later came up with another book written as a straightforward narrative, MacArthur, but it is a very different work because it does not have Bob Ong's signature humorous tone. Among Bob Ong's works, it is notable for being the first one to be a self-contained straightforward narrative rather than a collection of anecdotes. Alamat ng Gubat ( Legend of the Forest) is the fourth book published in 2003 by Bob Ong, a Filipino contemporary author noted for using conversational Filipino to create humorous and reflective depictions of life as a Filipino. ![]() ![]() He falls in love with a mesmerizing street artist with a smug pet ferret, who uses the library as her performance space.

The Book of Form and Emptiness by Ruth OzekiĪ brilliantly inventive new novel about loss, growing up, and our relationship with things, by the Booker Prize-finalist author of A Tale for the Time Being ![]() ![]() ![]() In the Third Edition prologue, MacIntyre revisits the central theses of the book and concludes that although he has learned a great deal and has supplemented and refined his theses and arguments in other works, he has "as yet found no reason for abandoning the major contentions" of this book. ![]() While the individual chapters are wide-ranging, once pieced together they comprise a penetrating and focused argument about the price of modernity. In this classic work, Alasdair MacIntyre examines the historical and conceptual roots of the idea of virtue, diagnoses the reasons for its absence in personal and public life, and offers a tentative proposal for its recovery. ![]() Now, twenty-five years later, the University of Notre Dame Press is pleased to release the third edition of After Virtue, which includes a new prologue "After Virtue after a Quarter of a Century." Newsweek called it "a stunning new study of ethics by one of the foremost moral philosophers in the English-speaking world."

In 1922, however, Lord Carnarvon informed Carter that he would fund that quest for only one more year unless they struck pay dirt. "King Tut" had taken the throne at the age of nine or ten and died at about age 18, making his story all the more intriguing.
