Alice Munro has long been heralded for her penetrating, lyrical prose, and in "The Bear Came Over the Mountain" - the basis for Sarah Polley's film Away From Her -- her prodigious talents are once again on display. As she follows Grant, a retired professor whose wife Fiona begins gradually to lose her memory and drift away from him, we slowly see how a lifetime of intimate details can create a marriage, and how mysterious the bonds of love really are.

Product Description

This book is an opportunity for all parties to benefit from the author's wealth of knowledge. Uniquely, he provides a lucid analysis of every aspect of training, and every test movement, from the viewpoint of the judge, trainer and rider. Moreover, he enhances his technical advice with a real understanding of the human issues involved - the demands, the pressures, the aspirations and the setbacks which are inevitable aspects of the often rocky road toward success. These issues, and the different viewpoints of the parties concerned, can sometimes lead to misunderstanding - even recrimination - amongst those who judge, teach and compete. Barry Marshall understands this very well, and it is a fundamental tenet of his work that all three groups, remembering their need for each other, should remain united in the ultimate aim of dressage; the physical and mental enhancement of the real key player - the horse.

Coetzee grew up in a new development north of Cape Town, tormented by guilt and fear. With a father he despised, and a mother he both adored and resented, he led a double life--the brilliant and well-behaved student at school, the princely despot at home, always terrified of losing his mother's love. His first encounters with literature, the awakenings of sexual desire, and a growing awareness of apartheid left him with baffling questions; and only in his love of the high veld ("farms are places of freedom, of life") could he find a sense of belonging. Bold and telling, this masterly evocation of a young boy's life is the book Coetzee's many admirers have been waiting for, but never could have expected.

From the Preface:The fact that so much of modern art has devoted itself to the exploration and assertion of its own identity is reflected in, but does not explain, the increasing amount of writing and talking on the part of contemporary artists. Rather, the whole history of the changing role of art and artists in a democratic, industrial, and technological society stands behind the spate of artists' words and the public's hunger for themВ—even some of the general public out there beyond art's little circle. Statements by artists appeal somewhat the way drawings do: they bring us, or at least they hold the promise of bringing us, closer to the artist's thoughts and feelings and to an understanding of his or her modus operandi; they hold the keys to a mysterious realm. And sometimes they offer us the sheer pleasure of good reading. Such is the primary raison d'ГЄtre of this book.Its other ...

If the size of a book is the measure of it's contents,Crumbs from His Table has certainly debunked this myth. Throughout the pages of this small book the author relates his personal interaction with Bhagavan Ramana from 1933 and notes down the wealth of practical wisdom he heard and absorbed in His presence. Sri Ramana himself would at times recommend Crumbs from His Table to seekers who naturally benefitted from the inspiration and guidance gleaned from it's pages. Talking of Sri Ramana Maharshi the famous British author Paul Brunton has the following to say: "The words of this Sage still flame out in my memory like beacon lights. I pluck golden fruit from rare meetings with wise men, wrote trans-Atlantic Emerson in his diary,and it is certain that I plucked whole basketfuls during my talks with this man.Our best philosophers could not hold a candle to him....
