Free Download Ignatius Brianchaninov, "Harbor for Our Hope: On Acquiring Peace Amidst Suffering"
English | ISBN: 0884654222 | 2020 | 192 pages | EPUB | 1172 KB
St Ignatius Brianchaninov (1807-1867) is renowned as a writer on the spiritual life in general. What is less well known is that throughout most of his adult life, he struggled with chronic illness and disability. Thus his own life experience disposed him to reflect on the meaning of suffering for human existence and how through it we might find "a harbor for our hope." The saint frequently returns to these themes in many of his letters, newly translated into English and excerpted, adapted, and presented here in thematic subject groups. These writings provided a source of consolation and encouragement for the translator during her husband’s lengthy illness and eventual death. They will equally benefit all who suffer physical or spiritual pain, however great or small, and reveal how the love of God may be experienced in its midst.

Free Download Joseph Mitchell, "The Bottom of the Harbor"
English | 2008 | pages: 320 | ISBN: 009928474X, 0593594959 | EPUB | 0,3 mb
After Joe Gould’s Secret – ‘a miniature masterpiece of a shaggy dog story’ ("Observer") – here is another collection of stories by Joseph Mitchell, each connected in one way or another with the waterfront of New York City. As William Fiennes wrote in the "London Review of Books", ‘Mitchell was the laureate of the waters around New York’, and in "The Bottom of the Harbor", he records the lives and practices of the rivermen, with love and understanding and a sharp eye for the eccentric and strange. This is some of the best journalist ever written.

English | 2009 | pages: 128 | ISBN: 0738562696, 1531640699 | EPUB | 31,4 mb
With the exception of Mount Desert Island’s Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse, the lighthouses of Bar Harbor and the Acadia region are among the most remote and lesser-known lighthouses of Maine. As the vessel traffic changed in these areas in the early 1900s, some of these lighthouses were sold into private ownership while others became less important as aids to navigation. Since the structures were located on remote islands or in a highly restricted military installation, the photographs and historical firsthand memories of most of these lighthouses have remained elusive and seemingly lost in the dusty pages of time. Through vintage photographs, Lighthouses of Bar Harbor and the Acadia Region uncovers the history of these structures that kept watch over Maine’s rocky coast.
