Eat Pray Love (Elizabeth Gilbert)It’s 3 a.m. and Elizabeth Gilbert is sobbing on the bathroom floor. She’s in her thirties, she has a husband, a house, they’re trying for a baby — and she doesn’t want any of it. A bitter divorce and a turbulent love affair later, she emerges battered and bewildered and realises it is time to pursue her own journey in search of three things she has been missing: pleasure, devotion and balance. So she travels to Rome, where she learns Italian from handsome, brown-eyed identical twins and gains twenty-five pounds, an ashram in India, where she finds that enlightenment entails getting up in the middle of the night to scrub the temple floor, and Bali where a toothless medicine man of indeterminate age offers her a new path to peace: simply sit still and smile. And slowly happiness begins to creep up on her.Ешь, молись, люби (Элизабет Гилберт)Сейчас три часа ночи, Элизабет Гилберт рыдает на полу в ванной. Ей за тридцать, у нее есть муж, дом, хотят ребенка – а она ничего этого не хочет. Горький развод и бурный роман позже, она выходит избитой и сбитой с толку и понимает, что пришло время продолжить свое собственное путешествие в поисках трех вещей, которых ей не хватало: удовольствия, преданности и баланса. Поэтому она едет в Рим, где учит итальянский язык у красивых кареглазых однояйцевых близнецов и набирает двадцать пять фунтов, ашрам в Индии, где она обнаруживает, что для просветления нужно вставать посреди ночи, чтобы вымыть пол в храме. и Бали, где беззубый знахарь неопределенного возраста предлагает ей новый путь к миру: просто сидеть спокойно и улыбаться. И постепенно к ней начинает подкрадываться счастье.

Signature of All Things

Wed, 22 May 2024 01:20:04 +0000

5 January 1800. At the beginning of a new century, Alma Whittaker is born into a perfect Philadelphia winter. Her father, Henry Whittaker, is a bold and charismatic botanical explorer whose vast fortune belies his lowly beginnings as a vagrant in Sir Joseph Banks’s Kew Gardens and as a deck hand on Captain Cook’s HMS Resolution. Alma’s mother, a strict woman from an esteemed Dutch family, has a knowledge of botany equal to any man’s. It is not long before Alma, an independent girl with a thirst for knowledge, comes into her own within the world of plants and science. But as her careful studies of moss take her deeper into the mysteries of evolution, the man she comes to love draws her in the opposite direction. The Signature of All Things is a big novel, about a big century. It soars across the globe from London, to Peru, to Philadelphia, to Tahiti, to Amsterdam. Peopled with extraordinary characters — missionaries, abolitionists, adventurers, astronomers, sea captains, geniuses and the quite mad — above all it has an unforgettable heroine in Alma Whittaker, a woman of the Enlightened Age who stands defiantly on the cusp of the modern.

Eat, Pray, Love (Film Tie-In), Gilbert Elizabeth

Sun, 08 Nov 2020 09:06:22 +0000

This beautifully written, heartfelt memoir touched a nerve among both readers and reviewers. Elizabeth Gilbert tells how she made the difficult choice to leave behind all the trappings of modern American success (marriage, house in the country, career) and find, instead, what she truly wanted from life. Setting out for a year to study three different aspects of her nature amid three different cultures, Gilbert explored the art of pleasure in Italy and the art of devotion in India, and then a balance between the two on the Indonesian island of Bali. By turns rapturous and rueful, this wise and funny author (whom Booklist calls «Anne Lamott`s hip, yoga- practicing, footloose younger sister») is poised to garner yet more adoring fans.
