Book excerpt: In Stardust Lost, Stefan Kanfer brings the colorful Yiddish stage roaring back to life. Born of ancient traditions stretching back to the drama of the Old Testament, the Yiddish theater was a vibrant part of the immigrant experience. Kanfer invokes the energy, belief, and pure chutzpah it took to establish and run the thriving, influential theaters. He reveals the nightly drama and comedy that played out behind the scenes as well as onstage, and introduces all the players—actors, divas, playwrights, directors, and producers—who made it possible. A richly evocative chronicle of its brief but dazzling existence in America, this is both an elegy for and a tribute to Yiddish theater—lost, but not forgotten.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sweet children's book "Barbie's Lost Unicorn Quest" takes place in a cute town surrounded by forests and hills. Barbie, a brave and daring young woman, and her magical horse friend Stardust are the main characters of the book. As the game goes on, Barbie and Stardust go on an adventure into the mysterious Enchanted Forest, which is full of surprises and mysteries that are hard to understand. As they meet different species that are charming, like singing flowers and talking mice, their connection with the forest grows. Their adventure takes a strange turn when they find an old, moss-covered bridge that goes to a hidden glade and a beautiful amulet with a unicorn on it. With this charm, you can start the quest that only Barbie and Stardust can finish. The Enchanted Tree, which looks out for lost unicorns, wakes up when the amulet touches it and chooses Barbie to be the chosen one. Together with Stardust, Barbie set out to find a lost horse deep in the forest. The amulet helped them along the way. As they go, they ask other people who live in the woods for advice, which emphasizes the idea of brotherhood and giving. They find Luna, the lost unicorn, bathed in silver light by the lovely stream that will take them to their last stop. Once Luna and her friends get back together, they use all of their skills to open a portal back to Hamlet, where they are made to feel very welcome. That's not the end of the story, though. In the Enchanted Forest, Barbie, Stardust, and Luna go on adventures while they work together to bring back the forest's magic. In the end, they are able to bring peace back to the forest by starting a new quest to find three old mechanical lights. Over the years, Barbie and her friends become known in town for being kind and smart, which makes them popular. The story has a lesson of wonder and hope that stresses the importance of friendship, being brave, and believing in the strange. "Barbie's Lost Unicorn Quest" is a well-known story that tells kids to value their relationships with others, enjoy nature's beauty, and stay open to the amazing things that are waiting for them. This is how the story starts: Barbie used to live in a cute town with rolling hills and lots of green trees. Barbie wasn't like other girls because she was kind and liked to try new things. Stardust, a magical horse, was Barbie's best friend and what really set her apart. Barbie and Stardust were always connected because they were friends and because they were magical everywhere they went. Stardust was beautiful to look at with his bright horn and hair. His hooves left a line of stardust behind them, and his laughter sounded like bells. When put together, they stood for the extraordinary. They laughed and went on adventures during the day. People in the town where Barbie and Stardust lived were friendly and warm, but they were aware that something strange always seemed to be present with them. In the mornings, they would explore the fields. In the afternoons, they would have picnics by the creek, and at night, they would look up at the stars. A gust of wind blew across the field one beautiful morning while Barbie and Stardust were having a picnic in their favorite spot under the shade of an old oak tree. A sheet of paper was carried by the wind. Barbie ran outside and grabbed the flying piece of paper with wide eyes. When she unfolded the paper, it showed a strange map. The complicated lines and symbols on it looked like the universe was just ready to be found. Barbie looked at the map with a racing heart. Stardust gave her a soft kiss because she could tell she was ready for an adventure. Barbie told Stardust quickly, "We need to follow this map." "It's a chance to explore the unknown and uncover the secrets of our world." Stardust agreed with a nod, and his eyes were shining with excitement. With the map in hand, they left the meadow they loved and set out on a new journey. The map led them up steep hills, through dense woods, and across sparkling streams. Every step was full of magic and wonder. Along the way, they met strange animals like talking squirrels and glowing lights that led them deeper into the unknown. Barbie and Stardust felt like they were in a fairy tale. Their friendship grew stronger every day as the magic in the woods seemed to come to life. There was a time when Barbie and Stardust found a secret glade as the sun was going down and the stars started to shine. A pretty tree with bright, shiny apples hanging from its branches stood in the middle of the glade. They saw a beautiful charm with a realistic unicorn design under the tree. When Barbie picked up the charm, her hand felt warm and tingly. Stardust gave her a soft kiss, as if to beg her to wear the charm. There was a pleasant, singing voice in the glade that seemed to come to life as she moved. Barbie and Stardust looked at each other puzzled as the Enchanted Tree sang, "Barbie, dear child, you have awakened me." The Tree then said, "I am the keeper of secrets and wonders, and you are the chosen one." Barbie and Stardust accepted their fate and set out to find the lost unicorn as the Tree sang, "In the depths of this forest lies a hidden realm, and within it resides a unicorn who has lost its wand." On their journey, they will face both difficult situations and breathtakingly beautiful scenes. They crossed interesting, suspended bridges, talked to animals that were full of wisdom, and even found a singing grove of flowers whose harmonies led them to a beautiful waterfall. "To find the lost unicorn, so rare, seek the waterfall, pure and fair, where moonbeams dance and stars alight, your friend awaits, bathed in silver light," the flowers said. Barbie gave Luna a sweet smile and said, "Don't worry." Let us help you get back to your realm. With Luna by their side, Barbie, Stardust, and Luna's magic worked together to make a portal that led them back to the village. "Thank you for finding me, dear friends. When I was following a shooting star, I got lost. My name is Luna. "I've been here ever since, unable to find my way back home," the voice of the Enchanted Tree told them. As soon as they stepped through the portal, they were back in their familiar village. When the lost unicorn was found, everyone was thrilled, and there was a lot of laughter. Barbie was additionally thrilled to learn that Luna had returned home. The unicorn Stardust had a beautiful horn that sparkled like the night sky and a mane that shimmered like silver. His hooves left a trail of stardust wherever he went, and his laughter sounded like bells. He and Barbie had been together since Barbie was a little girl. Barbie and Stardust were very close. She met him when she saw him as a little boy with big eyes. Their love was stronger than words and wen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professional motorsports came to Las Vegas in the mid-1950s at a bankrupt horse track swarmed by gamblers--and soon became enmeshed with the government and organized crime. By 1965, the Vegas racing game moved from makeshift facilities to Stardust International Raceway, constructed with real grandstands, sanitary facilities and air-conditioned timing towers. Stardust would host the biggest racing names of the era--Mario Andretti, Parnelli Jones, John Surtees, Mark Donohue, Bobby Unser, Dan Gurney and Don Garlits among them. Established by a notorious racketeer, the track stood at the confluence of shadowy elements--wiretaps, casino skimming, Howard Hughes, and the beginnings of Watergate. The author traces the Stardust's colorful history through the auto racing monthlies, national newspapers, extensive interviews and the files of the FBI.

Book Synopsis Illumination by : Shaleem Dzon

Download or read book Illumination written by Shaleem Dzon and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 11, 2017 Shaleem wrote her first poem about love and loss. Fifteen months earlier, she married the love of her life, Brad. He was handsome, successful, fit, and fun. And more than that, he had a zest for life like none she had ever met, for he had faced childhood cancer, and knew as well as anyone how precious each day was. On their one-year anniversary, after his sudden weight loss, they faced the worst oncology appointment anyone can face. Zero treatment options, zero percent chance of survival, 3-6 months. The first poem written the night he died, lead to a series of poems that began to chronicle the landscape she traversed emotionally, contemplatively, and spiritually as she moved through the darkness of grief and despair toward the light of healing. Little did she know that six years later, on the journey toward Illumination Rock to scatter their beloved dog’s ashes in the same place she had scattered Brad’s ashes, tragedy would strike again. This time it was her boyfriend, her new love, and yet, once again, it was fatal. This book, Illumination a grievers journey through the darkness, is so much more than a book about grief. It is about the heart crushing, drop you to your knees experience. It is about the times when grief enters our lives with overwhelming force, consumes our thoughts, emotions, and even our physical wellbeing. It is during these times of profound sorrow that we often find ourselves searching for solace, understanding and a glimmer of hope. As you read Illumination, you will touch upon things that will awaken your heart. You will experience a connection with this extraordinary woman, who, through her own journey, and as a poet at heart, gives fresh words to this thing called, perhaps too simply, grief. Book Review: Dr. Alan Pickering’s words of acclaim: Prepare to embark on a transformative journey as you turn the pages of Illumination. Shaleem writes in such a manner as to transport you to deeper levels of thinking, feeling and understanding of the wide range of human emotions. Her surprising mastery of putting feelings into words will drive you deeper into your soul. Through poignant poetry and storytelling, and profound wisdom, Shaleem’s work not only captivates the mind but also touches the heart in ways that linger long after the final page is turned. She stands shoulder to shoulder with the greatest who have ever penned a poem. Prepare to be moved, enlightened, and forever changed by this extraordinary treasure.
