Nautical Twilight

Número de Páginas: 106

"Why then was I not told, the brain can hold, in it's tiny Ivory cell, God's heaven and hell?" As asked buy an ancient philosopher. NAUTICAL TWILIGHT the sea of souls, where the silent bell doth toll is many a creative non-fiction literary collection; an anthology of sorts from the collected excerpts from the files of a Metaphysician, credentialed to use the metaphysical sciences to heal others. The Therapist's Creed reads " I am but a mirror you look into to see yourself." It suggests the temerity of us all; within lives lived day to day, moment to moment where in struggles are a constant boundary. This then is an accounting as bold as the making of a motion picture to outdo "Gone With The Wind" Indeed, we of human origin radiate personal dynamics, some good, some bad. Indeed, if one were to put on a stage show from our subconscious as well as conscious mind it would need, possible, a million Actors and Actresses to complete our recital, a live performance of our minds Book Of Knowledge. "The sea of souls where the silent bell doth toll" is a metaphor for the details of our life. Within one's own mind we are as silent as a bell at sea. This then is a journey beyond one's tranquil ...

Número de Páginas: 305

An original anthology celebrating Rod Serling's landmark television series featuring stories by Whitley Strieber, R. L. Stine, Laura Lippman, and others. When it first aired in 1959, The Twilight Zone was nothing less than groundbreaking television. Freed from much of the censors' strict oversight because of the show's classification as "science fiction," the 156 filmed episodes explored powerful and moving human themes—love, hate, pride, jealousy, terror—in their own unique style. The show has since inspired two revivals, as well as fiction, comic books, and magazines, and even a pinball game and theme park rides. Just as important, it sparked the imaginations of countless writers, filmmakers, and fans around the world, and is considered a seminal show for broadening the horizons of television. This anthology is an all-new collection of stories written in the vein of the original television show. Edited and introduced by Carol Serling, it includes brand-new stories by science fiction and fantasy luminaries such as Whitley Strieber, Loren D. Estleman, Joe Lansdale, R. L. Stine, Timothy Zahn, and Peter S. Beagle, as well as writers from the original series, Earl Hamner and...

Twilight of the Elites

Autor: Chris Hayes

Número de Páginas: 306

A powerful and original argument that traces the roots of our present crisis of authority to an unlikely source: the meritocracy. Over the past decade, Americans watched in bafflement and rage as one institution after another – from Wall Street to Congress, the Catholic Church to corporate America, even Major League Baseball – imploded under the weight of corruption and incompetence. In the wake of the Fail Decade, Americans have historically low levels of trust in their institutions; the social contract between ordinary citizens and elites lies in tatters. How did we get here? With Twilight of the Elites, Christopher Hayes offers a radically novel answer. Since the 1960s, as the meritocracy elevated a more diverse group of men and women into power, they learned to embrace the accelerating inequality that had placed them near the very top. Their ascension heightened social distance and spawned a new American elite--one more prone to failure and corruption than any that came before it. Mixing deft political analysis, timely social commentary, and deep historical understanding, Twilight of the Elites describes how the society we have come to inhabit – utterly forgiving at the...

Salvage at Twilight

Autor: Dan Burt

Número de Páginas: 107

The poet - a man of the world in the widest sense - reflects and in reflection relives the intense experiences that shaped him and that have shaped our modern world. Salvage at Twilight ends with 'Deposition', a harrowing elegy in five parts: the beloved endures 'her Nile of pain'; the lover attends as she is treated, the last scene postponed until the two selves are quite differently refined. His editor has written, 'Dan Burt's poetry, like his prose, explores themes unusual in contemporary literature, using a language that is precise, nuanced and mordant. And he risks traditional forms, his sonnets and quatrains mastered and masterful.'
