Author: Mario III Tidoy
Publisher: Queen Mairux III
ISBN:
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
This poetry collection contains spontaneously composed works, often inspired by fictional scenarios from my imagination. The poems mainly focus on romantic themes, exploring idealized outcomes alongside their opposites, depicting scenarios of what might have been, should have been, or could have been. The decision to start this literary journey came from a lifelong habit of creating detailed scenarios in my mind, finding joy in envisioning both realistic and fantastical situations. While love is a key theme in the collection, I have woven moments of emotional depth to offer a rich narrative. These poems serve as channels for my feelings, capturing fleeting moments of intense passion and deep sorrow. Navigating through my emotions, each verse mirrors the complexities of human relationships and the intricacies of the human heart. Within my imagination, I am free to explore the depths of love, loss, yearning, and everything in between. Through language's rhythm and metaphorical artistry, I invite you to embark on a journey through a range of emotions that reside within us all. Each poem acts as a reflection of the soul, providing insight into a heart that beats with vulnerability and resilience. As you delve into these lines, may you find comfort in the shared experiences that unite us through themes of love and longing. All my love, Mairux

Pages : 139
Book Description
Shortlisted for the 2014 William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award National Geographic Adventurer of the Year 2014 "The most dominating endurance athlete of his generation." -- The New York Times An exceptional athlete. A dominating force. An extraordinary person. Kilian Jornet has conquered some of the toughest physical tests on the planet. He has run up and down Mt. Kilimanjaro faster than any other human being, and struck down world records in every challenge that has been proposed, all before the age of 25. Redefining what is possible, Jornet continually pushes the limits of human ability, astonishing competitors with his near-superhuman fitness and ability. Born and raised at 6,000 feet above sea level in the Spanish Pyrenees, Jornet climbed an 11,000 foot mountain -- the highest mountain in the region -- at age 5. Now Jornet adores the mountains with the same ferocity with which he runs them. In Run or Die he shares his passion, inviting readers into a fascinating world rich with the beauty of rugged trails and mountain vistas, the pulse-pounding drama of racing, and an intense love for sport and the landscapes that surround him. In his book, Jornet describes his record-breaking runs at Lake Tahoe, Western States 100, Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc, and Mount Kilimanjaro--the first of his ambitious Summits of My Life project in which Jornet will attempt to break records climbing the highest peaks on each continent. In turns inspiring, insightful, candid, and deeply personal, this is a book written from the heart of the world's greatest endurance runner, for whom life presents one simple choice: Run. Or die. "Trail running's first true breakout star, [Jornet] has yet to find a record he can't shatter." -- Runner's World
