Book excerpt: This "blistering anti-romance" (Catherine Lacey) paints a riveting, cathartic story about love addiction and what it does to us. Wouldn’t I do anything to reverse my loss, the absence of him? In the first scene of this provocative gut-punch of a novel, our unnamed narrator meets a magnetic writer named Ciaran and falls, against her better judgment, completely in his power. After a brief, all-consuming romance he abruptly rejects her, sending her into a tailspin of jealous obsession and longing. If he ever comes back to her, she resolves to hang onto him and his love at all costs, even if it destroys her… Part breathless confession, part lucid critique, Acts of Desperation renders a consciousness split between rebellion and submission, between escaping degradation and eroticizing it, between loving and being lovable. With unsettling, electric precision, Nolan dissects one of life’s most elusive mysteries: Why do we want what we want, and how do we want it? Heralding the arrival of a stunning new literary talent, Acts of Desperation interrogates the nature of fantasy, desire, and power, challenging us to reckon honestly with our own insatiability.

Download or read book The Will's Harmonic Motion written by Fadel S. Sabry and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the natural extension of Schopenhauer's philosophy. The whole of existence has been created for a moral purpose. There is no creator outside the world; the creator and created are one and performing the Divine Comedy in everyday life. The theory of the will's harmonic motion is so simple, logical, accessible, scientific, and self-evident that nobody could have any doubt about its truth. It explains the deepest secrets of the monolithic religions, which nobody has ever been able to see because it is so simple. Simplicity is the seal of the truth, and this book reveals it. Schopenhauer came very close to it, and at the end of his life, he declared it to be "the most difficult of all problems." He hoped that "perhaps someone after me will shed some light in this abyss." This book solves the ultimate mystery of existence and sheds some light in this abyss.
