Singer, An Elegy - George Fetherling - Bog - Anvil Press Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Singer, An Elegy - George Fetherling - Bog - Anvil Press Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

'Singer, An Elegy' is a long poem memorializing the author's father and, equally, the now-obsolete industrial culture that shaped him. 'Singer, An Elegy' has rhetorical lightning flashes but aspires to much greater straightforwardness than Fetherling's previous poetry. " 'Singer, An Elegy' possesses all the fine qualities of Fetherling's prose and in many ways gives them their freest rein. Eloquent passages and striking phrases allow a wide experience and erudition to operate here with often startling appropriateness." - The Globe & Mail

Matt Monro: The Singer's Singer - Michele Monro - Bog - Titan Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Matt Monro: The Singer's Singer - Michele Monro - Bog - Titan Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A singer once said "His pitch was right on the nose: his word enunciation letter perfect: his understanding of a song thorough. He will be missed very much, not only by myself, but by his fans all over the world." The singer was the legendary Frank Sinatra, the man he spoke about: Matt Monro. Matt Monro: The Singer''s Singer , is the highly-anticipated story of one of Britain''s most iconic singers, tracing Matt Monro''s life from his poverty stricken upbringing in post-war Britain to his day job as London bus driver to the steady rise to fame that saw the singer battling the highs and lows of the entertainment industry to become one of Britain''s best-loved entertainers. This is the man behind the image, the man who rubbed shoulders with some of the most famous names in the business, who recorded the very first James Bond theme song (From Russia with Love) and the international hits Softly as I Leave You, Born Free, Walk Away and Portrait of My Love. In an intimate portrait written by the singer''s daughter, Michele Monro, and drawing on more than two hundred interviews from the most important characters in Matt''s life, The Singer''s Singer exposes the man behind the voice, telling the story of how Terry Parson overcame poverty, prejudice and alcoholism to arrive at the very heart of the post-war British entertainment industry as the unforgettable Matt Monro. Including never-before-seen photography, exclusive correspondence between Matt and some of the biggest names in the music business and a rich array of personal anecdotes, this is the first comprehensive look at the life of the man his peers dubbed ''the Singer''s Singer'', the irreplaceable Matt Monro.

Famine, Affluence, and Morality - Peter Singer - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Famine, Affluence, and Morality - Peter Singer - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

In 1972, Peter Singer published "Famine, Affluence and Morality," which rapidly became one of the most widely discussed essays in applied ethics. Through this article, Singer presents his view that we have the same moral obligations to those far away as we do to those close to us. He argues that choosing not to send life saving money to starving people on the other side of the earth is the moral equivalent of neglecting to save drowning children because we prefer not to muddy our shoes. If we can help, we must-and any excuse is hypocrisy. Singer''s extreme stand on the standard of giving has become a powerful topic of discussion in modern philosophy and continues to challenge people''s attitudes towards extreme poverty.As Bill and Melinda Gates observe in their foreword, Singer''s essay is as relevant today as it ever was. This short edition provides a valuable collection of the original article, two of Singer''s more popular writings on our obligations to those in poverty and a new introduction by Singer that advances the topic with his current thinking.

The Surrender Experiment - Michael A. Singer - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

Michael A. Singer, author of The Untethered Soul, tells the extraordinary story of what happened when, after a deep spiritual awakening, he decided to let go of his personal preferences and simply let life call the shots. As Singer takes you on this great experiment and journey into life''s perfection, the events that transpire will both challenge your deepest assumptions about life and inspire you to look at your own life in a radically different way.Spirituality is meant to bring about harmony and peace. But the diversity of our philosophies, beliefs, concepts, and views about the soul often leads to confusion. To reconcile the noise that clouds spirituality, Michael Singer combines accounts of his own life journey to enlightenment - from his years as a hippie-loner to his success as a computer program engineer to his work in spiritual and humanitarian efforts - with lessons on how to put aside conflicting beliefs, let go of worries, and transform misdirected desires. Singer provides a road map to a new way of living not in the moment, but to exist in a state of perpetual happiness.

From the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Isaac Bashevis Singer, comes a fictional exploration of primitive history.

Part parable of modern civilization, part fascinating historical novel, this modern myth is a philosophical examination of man and his beliefs, and reaffirms the author''s reputation as a master of narrative invention.

Love and Exile - Isaac Bashevis Singer - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Love and Exile - Isaac Bashevis Singer - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

From pre-First World War Warsaw to the New York of the 1930s, Nobel Prize-winner Isaac Bashevis Singer traces the early years of his life in this autobiographical trilogy. In A Little Boy in Search of God , he remembers his bookish boyhood as the son of an Orthodox rabbi, equally absorbed in science, philosophy and cabbala. Later, the pursuit of women came to obsess him almost as much as the pursuit of knowledge, and in A Young Man in Search of Love he chronicles the intricacies of his first love affairs. When he emigrated to the United States from Poland on the eve of the Second World War loneliness and depression overwhelmed him, and he relives those dark years in Lost in America . From beginning to end, Love and Exile sheds new light on Singer''s own life and the fictional lives mirrored in it.
