The Map of Lost Memories
Author: Kim Fay
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0345531426
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
Edgar Award Finalist for Best First Novel by an American Author “Captivating . . . has qualities any reader would wish for: adventure, romance, history and a vividly described exotic setting.”—The Washington Post In 1925 the international treasure-hunting scene is a man’s world, and no one understands this better than Irene Blum, who is passed over for a coveted museum curatorship because she is a woman. Seeking to restore her reputation, she sets off from Seattle in search of a temple believed to house the lost history of Cambodia’s ancient Khmer civilization. But her quest to make the greatest archaeological discovery of the century soon becomes a quest for her family’s secrets. Embracing the colorful and corrupt world of colonial Asia in the early 1900s, The Map of Lost Memories takes readers into a forgotten era where nothing is as it seems. As Irene travels through Shanghai's lawless back streets and Saigon’s opium-filled lanes, she joins forces with a Communist temple robber and an intriguing nightclub owner with a complicated past. What they bring to light deep within the humidity-soaked Cambodian jungle does more than change history. It ultimately solves the mysteries of their own lives. Look for special features inside. Join the Random House Reader’s Circle for author chats and more. Praise for The Map of Lost Memories “In The Map of Lost Memories, Kim Fay draws us into a universe as exotic, intense, and historically detailed as the ancient artifacts her unforgettable heroine seeks. It’s a deliciously unexpected journey: Indiana Jones meets Somerset Maugham meets Marguerite Duras.”—Jennifer Cody Epstein, author of The Painter from Shanghai “A thrilling mix of adventure and personal discovery . . . [Kim] Fay crafts an intricate page-turner that will keep readers breathless and guessing.”—Publishers Weekly “A ripping good tale . . . mysterious Asian locations . . . a driven young American heroine . . . an era no longer remembered but faded to romantic imagination . . . The Map of Lost Memories pulls the components together in a story that intrigues and rewards.”—Lincoln Journal Star “Fay’s extraordinary novel has everything great historical-adventure fiction should—a strikingly original setting, exhilarating plot twists, and a near-impossible quest.”—Booklist (starred review)

The Lost Memories

Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 78
Book Description
The Lost Memories is a collection of romantic poetry written by the Supreme Master Ching Hai during the 1970s while She was living in Europe. This time for Her was one of love and loss, ecstasy and heartbreak, longing and satiation, searching and discovering. The journey within this volume travels the road of Love, encompassing its spectrum – from effervescent passion to contemplative reflection. Each poem is filled with rich imagery and melody, resonating with the many thoughts, emotions and experiences common to us all. The longing for a loved one, sweet memories rekindled with each falling leaf, a lost bird finding its way home, the sound of raindrops – all are conveyed with utmost simplicity and tenderness. Woven into the wide range of emotions is a consistent theme, one that forms a gentle backdrop for each poem: the silhouette of Divine Love, which has been the source of inspiration throughout Master Ching Hai’s lifelong journey. This journey to embrace True Love not only invites a passionate delving into the depths of our life experience, it also provides the potent reminder that in our own Lost Memories lies the key to selfdiscovery and, ultimately, our self-realization. We are deeply grateful to Supreme Master Ching Hai for allowing us to compile this collection from Her early years. While the obvious beauty of this poetry springs forth from the innocent heart of youth, its inner beauty takes equal form by sparking the spiritual yearning deep within all of us. We hope that The Lost Memories helps you find peace and love on your journey.

No one ever said that life was easy or fair to everyone. But always remember that with a few simple words that are written or spoken well let your pain and let tears flow. When your feeling angry or frustrated or just feeling alone may the thoughts you feel flow onto paper and the words rise up and allow yourself time to feel. And no matter what happens youll always have you. My book that I have written is about poetry and short stories of my thoughts, feelings and my pain. I just let my feelings fl ow onto the paper and the words just write themselves. My poetry that is written onto paper is all mine. And I hope for whoever reads my book of poetry can feel the emotion that I have when it was written. For in life there are many ups and downs and sometimes it may feel that sadness is all around and sometimes life is not easy or even fair and thats why I think that in hard times. All we ever really need to do is read a perfect poem that matches our mood at the time to bring a smile to our face.

Book Description
Este livro trata-se de uma compilação com as melhores poesias em inglês que já produzi. São cerca de cem textos com reflexões profundas sobre a vida e como o ser humano lida com seus problemas. Não é um livro de auto-ajuda, é uma obra voltada para reflexão com pinceladas das memórias do próprio autor que investiu uma década da sua vida produzindo este material. As inspirações são vindas de autores clássicos como Edgar Allan Poe, passando por Dostoiévski e chegando ao contemporâneo Neil Gaiman. The wind whispered cold words And I was trembling thinking of the worst I saw a spirit walking by Murmuring in his bed of lies No matter what path I would take In the end I'd be in the lost lake The breeze made me scars so deep And the lake was now a black sea The reflecting moon seems a gate To the hottest circle of hell Where lies only the damned and the wasted Falling forever in the never ending well The darkness blinded my eyes And left it to loneliness Alone I heard her weak voice while she dies A sweet voice of tenderness There she goes in the lake My hand was not the one she should take Now the noise is gone And the body seems peaceful and calm Maybe my mind is filled with thorns When I read the last psalm I love her, but it has gone to waste Now she belongs to the lake ( The Lost Lake)

Okot PBitek, writing in Africas Cultural Revolution, Macmillian Books for Africa, Nairobi, 1973, reminds us that writing, like painting and sculpting, is a mere tool for expressing ideas. As the painter uses brush, color, and a surface (. . . canvas, the walls of St. Peters Basilica . . . the walls of a cave), and the sculptor uses a chisel and a piece of wood or stone to produce shapes and figures, the poet uses words for expressing his feelings. The voice of the [writer] and the pen and paper are mere midwives of a pregnant mind.
