Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
Time lingers like trees growing sideways after the last hurricane that ravaged the Jamaican village. At night, Dan-Dan reads by the kerosene lamp on the dinner table. He rummages through the old family storybook as Grendel snarls and claws his jagged nails from the torn pages. Uneasy with the feeling that his life fits a Medieval tale, Dan-Dan furrows his brow and flips the page. The pale, smoky lamp struggles to keep at bay ghosts of his father's father who built their old house. Outside, the relentless wind blusters through the hills, and he wonders if he will escape Father's generational curse. The smell of Mamma's sweet potato pudding fills the air temptingly. Dan-Dan is not allowed to touch the pudding until morning when it is cool, but he rises to snip a piece. One taste and life is sweet. It takes a stolen kiss beneath a ghost tree for Dan-Dan to escape the village, but in town no welcome awaits a backward Mocho mountain boy. Fortune will play its own tricky hand. He is caught in a forbidden romance with the daughter of the most powerful man in town.

Book Description
NO.1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE SOCIAL ANIMAL Are you on your first or second mountain? Is life about you - or others? About success - or something deeper? The world tells us that we should pursue our self-interest: career wins, high status, nice things. These are the goals of our first mountain. But at some point in our lives we might find that we're not interested in what other people tell us to want. We want the things that are truly worth wanting. This is the second mountain. What does it mean to look beyond yourself and find a moral cause? To forget about independence and discover dependence - to be utterly enmeshed in a web of warm relationships? What does it mean to value intimacy, devotion, responsibility and commitment above individual freedom? In The Second Mountain David Brooks explores the meaning and possibilities that scaling a second mountain offer us and the four commitments that most commonly move us there: family, vocation, philosophy and community. Inspiring, personal and full of joy, this book will help you discover why you were really put on this earth.
