The Kingdom of Back (9780593110591)

Two siblings. Two brilliant talents. But only one Mozart. Born with a gift for music, Nannerl Mozart has just one wish--to be remembered forever. But even as she delights audiences with her masterful playing, she has little hope she'll ever become the acclaimed composer she longs to be. She is a young woman in 18th century Europe, and that means composing is forbidden to her. She will perform only until she reaches a marriageable age--her tyrannical father has made that much clear. And as Nannerl's hope grows dimmer with each passing year, the talents of her beloved younger brother, Wolfgang, only seem to shine brighter. His brilliance begins to eclipse her own, until one day a mysterious stranger from a magical land appears with an irresistible offer. He has the power to make her wish come true--but his help may cost her everything. In her first work of historical fiction, #1 New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu spins a lush, lyrically-told story of music, magic, and th...

M. Butterfly (9780452272590)

Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play, nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and soon to be back on Broadway in a revival directed by the Lion King's Julie Taymor, starring Clive Owen "A brilliant play of ideas... a visionary work that bridges the history and culture of two worlds."-Frank Rich, New York TimesBased on a true story that stunned the world, and inspired by Giacomo Puccini's opera Madama Butterfly, M. Butterfly was an immediate sensation when it premiered in 1988. It opens in the cramped prison cell where diplomat Rene Gallimard is being held captive by the French government-and by his own illusions. He recalls a time when Song Liling, the beautiful Chinese diva, touched him with a love as vivid, as seductive-and as elusive-as a butterfly. How could he have known that his true love was, in fact, a spy for the Chinese government-and a man disguised as a woman? The diplomat relives the twenty-year affair from the temptation to the seduction, from its...

Healing Dreams (1573221678)

Most of us have had (or will have) at least one dream which stops us in our tracks. Such dreams tell us that we're not who we think we are. They reveal dimensions beyond the everyday. People the world over have described such experiences, but we in the West have only a sketchy understanding of what the author calls Healing Dreams -- dreams which, if we heed them, can guide us toward greater wholeness, and have the power to transform our lives. In this book, the author shows us how to work with the challenging, often hazy and incoherent particulars of our dream-lives, and gives us a multi-layered approach to understanding what the dream wants from us. Whether they lead us to reconsider our careers, to find a new loved one, to heal our bodies, or to rediscover our spirituality, Healing Dreams ask for nothing less than our greatest potential for authentic life. This is the first book to offer not only interpretive help, but to focus on what to make of unusually vivid, life-altering dr...

The Big Aiiieeeee! (9780452010765)

An Anthology of Chinese American and Japanese American Literature   When the first volume of this collection of Asian American literature appeared in 1974, it showed readers the roots and the richness of Chinese American and Japanese American writing. The authors called their anthology Aiiieeeee! because that was the shout, the scream, often the only sound coming from the yellow man or woman in American movies, television, or comic books. But as that work demonstrated, the Asian American writer, long ignored and excluded from participating in American culture, has an articulate and creative voice.   The Big Aiiieeeee!—an entirely new and truly comprehensive collection—brings together the earliest writings to appear in America, such as the revealing An English-Chinese Phrase Book used by the first generation of Chinese immigrants, and recent stories and essays, such as "Come All Ye Asian American Writers" by Frank Chin, about the importance of Chinese and Japanese heroic t...
