Описание: Fantastic Stories of Love and Longing A collection of visionary stories about finding your true home. The second edition of The Way Home includes the title novella and eight short stories. All the characters are seeking what is lost, and the clues they follow peek out from just beyond the veil. Whether they are chased by skeletons, stalked by telepathic wolves, or waiting for a mythical bird to appear, the characters in The Way Home see more than meets the eye. A metaphysical treat for those who like their stories off the beaten path, their fantasy balanced on the edge of reality. Two lovers cling to each other in the ruins of their world. Only "The Call of the Benu" can save them, but will she come in time? In "Desert Song", a young woman embarks on a road trip where she is chased by a ghostly skeleton and faces buried memories so she can open to to love. A thoroughly urban poet searches for home in the desert she has always feared and follows a wolf to meet her destiny in "The Conversation." A young man acquires a contingent of ghosts who follow him from Maine to Oregon, and a young woman learns about her future from a dream encounter with a Ghost-Messenger. In the title novella, a volcano threatens the Valley of the Caheya and a priestess sets out to recover the stolen crystal that can save her people. But facing the demon who stole the crystal and the venomous black sea that guards it is just the beginning. Mata must confront her ancient past and her desire for revenge if she is to save the Caheya from extinction. The Way Home is a journey into the past to save the future as Mata seeks redemption from an unlikely source.

Описание:
Born into a high-status family of the Batak ethnic group indigenous to North Sumatra, Sitor Situmorang (1924–2014) was a Dutch-educated Indonesian nationalist who experienced firsthand the transition from the Dutch East Indies of his youth to the modern Indonesia of his adulthood.
The stories in this collection are a window into the world of a writer dedicated to exploration and change but resolutely attached to the land, people, and stories of his homeland. Set variously in western Europe, post-independence Jakarta, and modernizing communities in his native North Sumatra, the stories live in—as the translators put it—the “perpetual tension between the urge to wander and a longing for origins."
From fish and fiddleheads to salmonberries and Spam, Alaskan cuisine spans the two extremes of locally abundant wild foods and shelf-stable ingredients produced thousands of miles away. As immigration shapes Anchorage into one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the country, Alaska's changing food culture continues to reflect the tension between self-reliance and longing for distant places or faraway homes. Alaska Native communities express their cultural resilience in gathering, processing, and sharing wild food; these seasonal food practices resonate with all Alaskans who come together to fish and stock their refrigerators in preparation for the long winter. In warm home kitchens and remote caf s, Alaskan food brings people together, creating community and excitement in canning salmon, slicing muktuk, and savoring fresh berry pies.
This collection features interviews, photographs, and recipes by James Beard Award-winning journalist and third-generation Alaskan Julia O'Malley. Touching on issues of subsistence, climate change, cultural mixing and remixing, innovation, interdependence, and community, The Whale and the Cupcake reveals how Alaskans connect with the land and each other through food.
Описание: Today we think of ukiyo-e - `the pictures of the floating world` - as masterpieces of Japanese art. Yet it is often said that ukiyo-e were little appreciated in their own time. Julie Nelson Davis debunks this myth and demonstrates that ukiyo-e was thoroughly appreciated as a field of artistic production, worthy of connoisseurship by contemporaries.
