This poetic tapestry weaves a beautiful story of life lessons that have been passed down with an enduring love from generation to generation. Anyone who has ever been part of a farm-family heritage will enjoy this personal glimpse into the lives of one such family and how the lessons they learned on the farm translated into real life applications as it touches the heart and inspires its readers. Even those who are not from a farm family will find much to appreciate as they too have their own cherished memories of home, love, and family renewed. The author takes us carefully through the seasons of life on the farm until we finally arrive at the final days of The Old Home Place only to discover that it really doesn't end there. The book is divided into four sections; THE PLACE, LOVE \u0026amp; FAMILY, SEASONS, and REFLECTIONS, each one having its own special beauty. Much of the poetry contained in The Old Home Place will no doubt be published again and again in separate works but the author says that this will be the only volume to contain all the poems along with the narrative and verse that gives the reader a keen personal insight into what lies between the lines. Each reader will no doubt have their favorite poems or stories, but classics like, A Single Flower, The Passing, Hallowed Ground, Lonely to Be the Last, and I've Seen Enough of Life to Know, will one day be loved, read, and recited by thousands. Step back in time and remember what life is really all about; go back to The Old Home Place and enjoy the simple, unpretentious, Robert Frost writing style of this unique find. It's one that you will turn to often because of its heart-warming inspiration and down-home wisdom; it should be in every family's home library.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49688942215441,"sku":"DVDB00CX7OXQAVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53423585493265,"sku":"CINB00CX7OXQAG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B00CX7OXQA.jpg?v=1750970570"},{"product_id":"evil-dead-dvd-0043396417298","title":"Evil Dead","description":"Enjoying religion seems to be a contradiction because religion is generally perceived as a serious or even suppressive phenomenon. Yet, ordinary believers often enjoy religious celebrations, for instance during traditional holidays or pilgrimages. Even many non-believers enjoy religious matters or activities such as images of Gods or yoga. At present, the cheerful sides of religion are winning ground in two directions. A lot of believers of established religions are inclined to take their faith lightly and shove the austere aspects aside, whereas many non-religious people admire religious arts or take part in rituals of religious origin. Mass media and scholarly research usually focus on the doctrinal and the darker, sometimes violent sides of religions. This volume, however, is the first to study the increase of enjoying religion systematically by presenting eleven new case studies, occurring on four continents. Ten specialists (anthropologists, historians, philosophers) from six countries base their analyses on various theories of cultural and religious developments. Four of the case studies concern traditional religious practices, among Egyptian pious Muslim celebrities, cheerful Indian Hindu pilgrims, entertaining American Christian fundamentalists, and secret Buddhist Tantrists. The new religious cases bear upon festivals such as Christmas in Norway, Burning Man in Nevada, X-Day in New York, and the Dutch Happinez Festival. Besides, the practices of western Tantra and Dutch Zen meditation, and the religious associations in some recent prominent novels from various European countries are examined. The volume concludes that in our late modern secular societies the enjoyment of religion or of its loose elements is growing. In particular when scholars concentrate on lived religion of ordinary people, the cheerful experiences appear to prevail. Many people use pleasant (elements of) religion to add meaning to their lives, to find spiritual fulfillment or a way to salvation, and to experience belonging to a larger unity. At the same time, diverse cultural dynamics of late modern society such as popular culture, commercialization, re-enchantment, and feminization influence this trend of enjoying religion. In spite of secularization, playing with religion appears to be attractive.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49704649621777,"sku":"DVDB008JFUO0YVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53428517044497,"sku":"CINB008JFUO0YG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53626088063249,"sku":"CINB008JFUO0YVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":54712565727505,"sku":"CINB008JFUO0YA","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B008JFUO0Y.jpg?v=1750809197"},{"product_id":"evil-dead-dvd-0043396417328","title":"Evil Dead","description":"European Writers in Exile collects a series of original essays that address the writers' universal existential dilemma, when viewed through the lens of exile: who am I, where am I from, and what do I write, and to whom? While we often understand the term exile to refer to writers who have either been forced to leave their home country or region or chosen self-exile, this term need not be defined so narrowly, and the contributors to this volume explore a range of interesting and evolving definitions. Various countries in Europe have long been both a refuge for people and writers from many countries and a strife-torn region which has forced many to flee within the continent or beyond it. The phrase in exile involves writers moving across borders in multiple directions and for multiple reasons, including for reasons of duress or personal quest, and these themes are addressed and critiqued in these essays. This volume naturally examines the cataclysmic and near-universal exilic experiences relating to the world wars, including essays on Thomas Mann, Vladimir Nabokov, Hannah Arendt and Leo Strauss. Additionally, essays address the unique early twentieth-century experiences of Emile Zola, Franz Kafka, Joseph Conrad, and James Joyce. More contemporary essay subjects include Milan Kundera, Norman Manea, Eva Hoffman, Caryl Phillips, and W. G. Sebald. This collection of transnational, globalized European literature studies envisions understanding the intersection of our contemporary world and various writers in exile in new cultural, historical, spatial, and epistemological frameworks. How does literary production in an increasingly globalized world-when seen from exile-affect a view back towards a country or region left behind? Or, conversely, how does exile push a writer to look outward to new (trans-)nationalized space(s)? These and other questions are important to investigate. Taken in sum, European Writers in Exile offers an academically rigorous, important, and cohesive volume.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50168968937745,"sku":"DVDB008JFUNYGLN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52880914186513,"sku":"DVDB008JFUNYGVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53420472959249,"sku":"CINB008JFUNYGG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":54538873897233,"sku":"CINB008JFUNYGVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B00EGIC8LQ.jpg?v=1751160972"},{"product_id":"evil-dead-dvd-0826663228991","title":"Evil Dead","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52099726639377,"sku":"DVDB0B4VRF1Q4VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0826663228991.jpg?v=1757087009"},{"product_id":"syrup-dvd-0876964005746","title":"Syrup","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53423624061201,"sku":"CINB00CX7OWL6VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53423997321489,"sku":"CINB00CX7OWL6G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0876964005746.jpg?v=1776384440"},{"product_id":"skateland-dvd-0024543744351","title":"Skateland","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":54492231303441,"sku":"CINB00553K9DUG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0024543744351.jpg?v=1788012038"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-shiloh-fernandez.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
