Color of My Soul
ISBN: 9781932077797 / Angielski / Miękka / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It's a far cry from the island off the Norwegian coast, where Helen Barth Stromberg lived an artist's life for five years, to the High Plains and canyons of the western U.S.A.

The link may lie in one of Helen's forebears, who was from the Sami people of Northern Norway,...

The Song of Hiawatha
ISBN: 9781605120461 / Angielski / Twarda / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Song of Hiawatha is an epic verse of life in America before the coming of Europeans, written by one of our country's most notable poets. In creating the story of Hiawatha, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow used as his inspiration early ethnographic research into the life and folklore of the Great Lakes tribes. The poem is also undoubtedly the product of a European-American imagination, with its unabashedly romanticized look at a vanished way of life. First published in 1855 to critical acclaim, The Song of Hiawatha can be enjoyed both for its striking poetry and its interpretations of...

There seems to be an infinite number of ways to apply the quadrants to a life, community, world, and universe. When we see our lessons in life simplify, they are becoming more real and authentic. This is where the modern meets the archaic and the past is acknowledged in the present to guide our steps towards a brighter and happier future. Everything...
