Free Download Ann Patchett, "Truth & Beauty: A Friendship"
English | 2005 | pages: 273 | ISBN: 0060572159, 0060572140 | PDF | 1,2 mb
Ann Patchett and the late Lucy Grealy met in college in 1981, and, after enrolling in the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, began a friendship that would be as defining to both of their lives as their work. In Grealy’s critically acclaimed memoir, Autobiography of a Face, she wrote about losing part of her jaw to childhood cancer, years of chemotherapy and radiation, and endless reconstructive surgeries. In Truth & Beauty, the story isn’t Lucy’s life or Ann’s life, but the parts of their lives they shared. This is a portrait of unwavering commitment that spans twenty years, from the long winters of the Midwest, to surgical wards, to book parties in New York. Through love, fame, drugs, and despair, this is what it means to be part of two lives that are intertwined . . . and what happens when one is left behind.

Free Download The Eudemian Ethics on the Voluntary, Friendship, and Luck: The Sixth S.V. Keeling Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy By Fiona Leigh
2012 | 198 Pages | ISBN: 9004225366 | PDF | 4 MB
Reflecting the relatively recent high level of scholarly interest in Aristotle’s Eudemian Ethics (EE), each paper in this collection is concerned first and foremost to understand the arguments from the EE it examines in terms of that work alone. The papers, by David Charles, Christopher Rowe, M.M. McCabe, Jennifer Whiting, and Friedemann Buddensiek, focus variously on the topics of the voluntary, friendship and luck, only drawing on other texts in the service of illuminating the EE. The result is a volume containing novel, at times even conflicting, readings of questions central to understanding this important text and Aristotle’s ethics in general. ..".each of the five essays targets an important but relatively circumscribed issue, and together they should convince anyone of the desirability of fresh and serious investigation of the Eudemian Ethics." Daniel P. Maher, Assumption College

Author: Anna Goldfarb
Narrator: Anna Goldfarb
From the "New York Times friendship correspondent," a definitive step-by-step guide to understanding the fundamental mechanics of friendship. Modern friendships can be painfully ambiguous. But they don’t have to be. Journalist Anna Goldfarb has your back. "It’s understandable if your friendships are floundering. You’re up against historically new forces that we, as a culture, have no precedent for navigating," she says. With Modern Friendship, Anna shares a manual for understanding what is pushing our friendships to the brink and provides actionable advice for forming authentic, enduring connections today. It’s never been easier to shed friendships, which is precisely why we need a new approach to keeping them strong. Anna argues that we need to update our approach to friendships in a way that accounts for the hyper-fluid society we live in. The key to forming a lasting bond is what Anna calls "Wholehearted Friendship"-proven strategies to enhance enthusiastic connection.

In the ten years since, Soep has found herself among those left behind-spouses, lovers, family, friends-whose grief could have rendered them silent, at a loss for words. Instead, she has discovered the opposite: a wild and inexhaustible dialogue unleashed by their absence. Other People’s Words is an incandescent tribute to deep friendship, honoring this lasting bond that has no special name and showing us how we can both cherish and grieve our loved ones through the words that have described and defined our lifetimes.
