On Writing
Author: Charles BukowskiPublisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 006239598X
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Sharp and moving reflections and ruminations on the artistry and craft of writing from one of our most iconoclastic, riveting, and celebrated masters. Charles Bukowski’s stories, poems, and novels have left an enduring mark on our culture. In this collection of correspondence—letters to publishers, editors, friends, and fellow writers—the writer shares his insights on the art of creation. On Writing reveals an artist brutally frank about the drudgery of work and canny and uncompromising about the absurdities of life—and of art. It illuminates the hard-edged, complex humanity of a true American legend and counterculture icon—the “laureate of American lowlife” (Time)—who stoically recorded society’s downtrodden and depraved. It exposes an artist grounded in the visceral, whose work reverberates with his central ideal: “Don't try.” Piercing, poignant, and often hilarious, On Writing is filled not only with memorable lines but also with Bukowski’s trademark toughness, leavened with moments of grace, pathos, and intimacy.

Book Description
Miles de millones de seres humanos alrededor del mundo, han hablado de estar esperando la segunda venida de Cristo Jesus desde hace siglos y milenios. Para ello, han ideado diferentes conceptos de como el Espiritu Santo los pueda hailitar para poder estar preparados y aprobados para cuando dicho evento tome lugar. Muchos han ignorado dichos conceptos, otros los han aceptado. Por alguna razon desconocida para ellos, e inclusive para nosotros hoy; se ha pasado por alto el magno evento que precede a dicha segunda venida. Ese hecho es: Estar preparados para el Inminente Cierre del Tiempo de Gracia! Si fue aprobado antes de dicho cierre, la segunda venida sera para usted, una maravillosa experiencia. Por eso, el mismo Dios en su misericordia a punto de ser retirada, al ver a la humanidad cristiana y a la no cristiana de hoy, errando el camino y hundida en tanta confusion al respecto; ha querido brindar un mapa unico, con puntos claves y con bases simples, solidas y precisas a traves de este libro. Mapa que nos abrira los ojos a una realidad sorprendente en la cual quieras o no, te veras envuelto. Junto al Espiritu Santo;esta sierva desea compartir ese hallazgo con usted, mi querido lector. Porque no queremos que el tiempo de gracia termine y pierda la vida eterna con Jesus, por seguir en la ignorancia. El Gobierno Celestial (Dios), quiere orientarlos correctamente. El diablo quiere confundirlos mediante tantos sistemas y filosofias religiosas. Ante estos dos Poderes, Solo Usted Tiene la Decision Final! Por favor, no ignore las advertencias que con tanto amor y por ultima vez Cristo Jesus les envia a traves de las paginas de este libro.

Book Description
In the continuing U.S. debate over illegal immigration, a human face has rarely been shown. The topic has been presented as a monolithic abstraction, a creation of statistics, political rhetoric, and fear. This collection of letters between undocumented immigrants in California and their families back home reveals the other side of the story. Published for the first time in paperback, Between the Lines reveals the often poignant human drama currently being played out along the U.S.-Mexico border. The letters, presented in Spanish and English, express powerful feelings of hope, uncertainty, and fear among the undocumented travelers as they arrive in the United States and seek work, social support and legal status. The letters from their families in Mexico, Guatemala, and El Salvador return feelings of hope, love, and support. Translator/editor Siems provides a powerful and lyrical introductory essay that sets the stage for the letters that follow.

No Way, They Were Gay?

Pages : 237
Book Description
"History" sounds really official. Like it's all fact. Like it's definitely what happened. But that's not necessarily true. History was crafted by the people who recorded it. And sometimes, those historians were biased against, didn't see, or couldn't even imagine anyone different from themselves. That means that history has often left out the stories of LGBTQIA+ people: men who loved men, women who loved women, people who loved without regard to gender, and people who lived outside gender boundaries. Historians have even censored the lives and loves of some of the world's most famous people, from William Shakespeare and Pharaoh Hatshepsut to Cary Grant and Eleanor Roosevelt. Join author Lee Wind for this fascinating journey through primary sources—poetry, memoir, news clippings, and images of ancient artwork—to explore the hidden (and often surprising) Queer lives and loves of two dozen historical figures.
