Life With Destiny

By: Maurice Nachtigal

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

This book is a review of my life done with the purpose of understanding why it went the way it did. What I learned is that the major goals of my life were set up by an authority which I called destiny. This authority conducted events along pathways that led to the fulfilment of those goals. These events were either causal determined or were synchronized and were set up by destiny which seemed to be devoid of human feelings. The overwhelming intervention of destiny in life does not exclude the potential use of free will but it was not apparent that that will improve the outcome.

An Iron Curtain Breakaway

From Romania to America

By: Maurice Nachtigal

Under the Romanian Ceausescu's totalitarian regime the author has decided to leave the country. After a year of struggle with Securitate, the secret police, he received a passport to travel to visit his family in France. There he accepted an offer for a teaching position in the United States. He came to United States and started a fight with the Securitate to be reunited with his family. An eighteen months separation ordeal followed. The bonding between him and his wife based on love and trust was their defense against the Securitate conniving to separate them. After winning this fight and being reunited these Memoirs relate how each family member has succeeded in spite of the extensive differences between their previous life and the New World. The author reaches the conclusion that the most important events of his life were marrying his wife and replacing the Iron Curtain with the Statue of Liberty. His life story could be a lesson from the struggle against a totalitarian regime to adaptation to a different world and the power of love.

The Hydrangea

A Reappraisal

By: Maurice Foster

The genus Hydrangea goes far beyond the colourful and ubiquitous Hortensia of a million suburban front gardens; it offers a remarkable diversity and versatility, with attractive planting choices for gardens everywhere. From the tough mountain species that can take up to -30C in their stride, to the warm temperate lianas that can top twenty metres into a tree, different species are now being brought into play by breeders to provide new cultivars at a bewildering rate. This book picks up this challenge, helping readers choose the best hydrangeas for their particular gardens, no matter what the soil or situation.

African Art

By: Maurice Delafosse

African Art invites you to explore the dynamic origins of the vast artistic expressions arising from the exotic and mystifying African continent. Since the discovery of African art at the end of the nineteenth century during the colonial expositions it has been a limitless source of inspiration for artists who, over time, have perpetually recreated these artworks. The power of Sub-Saharan African art lies within its visual diversity, demonstrating the creativity of the artists who are continuing to conceptualize new stylistic forms. From Mauritania to South Africa and from the Ivory Coast to Somalia, statues, masks, jewelry, pottery and tapestries compose a variety of daily and ritual objects springing from these richly varied societies.

Le Culte Du Moi

Un Homme Libre

By: Maurice Barres

Maurice Barres (1862-1923), ne a Charmes (Vosges), est un ecrivain et homme politique francais, figure de proue du nationalisme francais. Il multiplia les collaborations aux revues litteraires, et fonda la sienne propre, Les Taches d'Encre, tres ephemere. Sacre "Prince de la Jeunesse," exaltant, dans les trois volumes du Culte du Moi (1888-1891), l'individualisme, la recherche des experiences et la satisfaction des sens, il fut a l'origine surtout apprecie a gauche, et plus particulierement par Leon Blum. La publication des Deracines (1897) puis de L'Appel au Soldat montre l'evolution de sa pensee vers le nationalisme republicain et le traditionalisme, avec l'attachement aux racines, a la famille, a l'armee et a la terre natale. Parallelement a sa carriere d'ecrivain, Barres eut une activite politique importante. Elu depute boulangiste de Nancy a 27 ans, il se voulait aussi socialiste et siegea a l'extreme-gauche. Il fonda l'ephemere revue nationaliste La Cocarde; il adhera ensuite a la Ligue des Patriotes de Paul Deroulede, et fut antidreyfusard.
