Описание: The panicked voice of a teenage girl interrupts Celie Landon's gardening at her river house one unseasonably warm April day. As soon as she realizes the dark spot in the water may be a child, she races to help the girl, but arrives too late. During the rescue efforts for 11 year-old Henry Lewis, his older sister Meeka and Celie are inextricably linked. The guilt that each one feels roils under the surface while the body remains missing for four days. As Celie obsesses over her part in the drowning, she confronts feelings of inadequacy after a year-long battle with cancer, the widening distance from her husband Jake, and issues from her New England childhood in an all-white town. 14-year-old Meeka, crushed by her mother's withdrawal, worries about her continuing responsibility to 'mind' her little sister Jasmine, 5, and two cousins, Lin , 7, and Rey, 13, abandoned by his mother a year earlier. Struggling to make sense of the sudden changes in her world, Meeka is curious about the white lady's ongoing interjection in their lives. Their growing relationship is complicated by Celie's disgust over her failure to be the person she thought she was before the cancer. At the funeral while Meeka's mother and schoolmates challenge her publicly, Rey disappears. Meeka blames herself. Guessing that he's gone to find his unreliable mother, she leaves home secretly to track him down. When Celie figures out where Meeka has gone, she follows her to Baltimore in hopes of avoiding another tragedy. Interwoven with lingering issues of race in small-town America, the story celebrates the journey of unlikely friends who discover common ground in their grief and in their determination to be better people.

Описание: Prolific and personable, innovative and contentious, Cyril Scott (1879 - 1970) was considered to be one of the most promising young talents in modern British music at the turn of the twentieth century. He was a member of the 'Frankfurt Group' (together with Percy Grainger, Norman O'Neill, Roger Quilter and Balfour Gardiner), his music was performed by some of the leading conductors of the time in Britain and on the Continent, and his friends included highly influential figures in European literature, art and politics. Apart from his music, Scott was the author of many books on alternative medicine, psychology, Occultism, Theosophy and comparative religion. He also wrote fiction, autobiography, and poetry. Scott embodied a unique time in a particularly unique way. His aesthetic ideas informed both his professional creative practice and his manner of living. He was not merely a composer, but an artist in the broadest possible sense of the term. This book provides the first comprehensive account of Scott's life and influences as well as an outline and contextualization of his aesthetic thinking. It traces his changing conception of the function of art and the role of the artist from his formative exposure to Symbolism through his friendship with the German poet Stefan George, to his exploration of Western and Eastern esoteric traditions, showing how the prevailing cross-pollination of ideas allowed him to develop a fully integrated rationale for his art and life. The story of Scott's development guides the reader through some of the most fascinating intellectual discourses of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century Europe. Sarah Collins' current research focuses on British music aesthetics and criticism in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. She has a particular interest in the interaction between turn-of-the-century conceptions of the function of criticism, theories of critical intuition and questions of moral philosophy. She lectured at the University of Queensland from 2006 and joined the faculty of Monash University in 2012.
