The rugged landscape of Baronia on Sardinia sets the scene for this novel of crime, guilt and retribution. This novel presents the story of the Pintor sisters - from a family of noble landowners now in decline - their nephew Giacinto, and their servant Efix, who is trying to make up for a mysterious sin committed many years before. Around, below, and inside them the raging Mediterranean storms, the jagged mountains, the murmuring forests, and the gushing springs form a Greek chorus of witness to the tragic drama of this unforgiving land. Deledda tells her story with her characteristic love of the natural landscape and fascination with the folk culture of the island, with details about the famous religious festivals held in mountain encampments and the lore of the "dark beings who populate the Sardinian night, the fairies who live in rocks and caves, and the sprites with seven red caps who bother sleep." Introduction by the Sardinian ethnographer, Dolores Turchi.

"The Wind Among the Reeds" is a collection of poetry by the renowned Irish poet W. B. Yeats. Published in 1899, this collection is characterized by its exploration of themes related to nature, mythology, and the mystical aspects of Irish folklore. The poems within the collection often depict the interplay between the human and natural worlds, with a particular focus on the spiritual and emotional experiences of individuals. Yeats employs his signature lyrical style to create vivid imagery that captures the essence of Ireland's landscapes and cultural heritage. The collection showcases Yeats' fascination with symbolism and his desire to delve into the profound symbolism of Irish myths and legends. Through a blend of romanticism and Celtic mysticism, "The Wind Among the Reeds" remains a notable contribution to Yeats' body of work and to Irish poetry as a whole.

2016 Christopher Award Winner From acclaimed actor and producer Wendell Pierce, an insightful and poignant portrait of family, New Orleans and the transforming power of art. On the morning of August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina barreled into New Orleans, devastating many of the city's neighborhoods, including Pontchartrain Park, the home of Wendell Pierce's family and the first African American middle-class subdivision in New Orleans. The hurricane breached many of the city's levees, and the resulting flooding submerged Pontchartrain Park under as much as 20 feet of water. Katrina left New Orleans later that day, but for the next three days the water kept relentlessly gushing into the city, plunging eighty percent of New Orleans under water. Nearly 1,500 people were killed. Half the houses in the city had four feet of water in them—or more. There was no electricity or clean water in the city; looting and the breakdown of civil order soon followed. Tens of thousands of New Orleanians were stranded in the city, with no way out; many more evacuees were displaced, with no way back in. Pierce and his family were some of the lucky ones: They survived and were able to ride out the storm at a relative's house 70 miles away. When they were finally allowed to return, they found their family home in tatters, their neighborhood decimated. Heartbroken but resilient, Pierce vowed to help rebuild, and not just his family's home, but all of Pontchartrain Park. In this powerful and redemptive narrative, Pierce brings together the stories of his family, his city, and his history, why they are all worth saving and the critical importance art played in reuniting and revitalizing this unique American city.

"Reeds in the Wind" takes you along on the vertiginous journey of a mother with her two children whose lives were suddenly turned upside down by two forces of evil, threatening to exterminate millions of people with no relation and understanding of the dark minds behind this tragedy. From a somewhat uneventful life under the Soviet regime, the breadbasket of Ukraine became the overlapping target of both Stalin and Hitler and that is where and when it all begins to unravel. The City of Kharkov is where the author was born. Nikita Kusnezov describes his youth growing up under communism and how alarming events started to replace the daily routine, virtually exposing the reader to his hands-on experience as the situation keeps deteriorating. To follow the sometimes miraculous escapes throughout Eastern Europe, during twelve years of being constantly uprooted, makes for a gut wrenching reading. This odyssey of human endurance and survival takes place among the turmoil of World War II as the unfolding background is kept in sight by the author and referred to methodically. This autobiography is only one more testimony of the millions of victims who fell silent and to whom Timothy Snyder refers in his "Bloodlands". Cover Painting MARSH IN A FOREST, ca. 1665 by Jacob Van Ruysdael (1628-1682) Acquired by Catherine the Great between 1763-1774, for the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Book Excerpt: ...hem to her and die;'And when the morning whitenedHe left them where she went by.She laid them upon her bosom, Under a cloud of her hair, And her red lips sang them a love song: Till stars grew out of the air.She opened her door and her window, And the heart and the soul came through, To her right hand came the red one, To her left hand came the blue.They set up a noise like crickets, A chattering wise and sweet, And her hair was a folded flowerAnd the quiet of love in her feet.THE VALLEY OF THE BLACK PIGThe dews drop slowly and dreams gather: unknown spearsSuddenly hurtle before my dream-awakened eyes, And then the clash of fallen horsemen and the criesOf unknown perishing armies beat about my ears.We who still labour by the cromlec on the shore, The grey cairn on the hill, when day sinks drowned in dew, Being weary of the world's empires, bow down to youMaster of the stil
