Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Empty Garden draws a portrait of Milton as a cultural and religious critic who, in his latest and greatest poems, wrote narratives that illustrate the proper relationships among the individual, the community, and God. Rushdy argues that the political theory implicit in these relationships arises from Milton's own drive for self-knowledge, a kind of knowledge that gives the individual freedom to act in accordance with his or her own understanding of God's will rather than the state's. Rushdy redefines Milton's creative spirit in a way that encompasses his poetic, political, and religious careers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modernist garden, which flourished in France between the 1910s and the 1930s, vividly mirrored the geometries and cubist aesthetics familiar to the decorative and fine arts of the period. Created by architects and artists, these gardens were often conceived as tableaux in which plants played a role only as pigment or texture. This handsomely illustrated book by Dorothée Imbert presents for the first time - in word and image - a comprehensive study of these arresting architectonic gardens.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was a story that Mama read to Jiro: Once, in old Japan, a young woodcutter lived alone in a little cottage. One winter day he found a crane struggling in a snare and set it free. When Jiro looks out the window into Mr. Ozu’s garden, he sees a crane and remembers that story. Much like the crane, the legend comes to life—and, suddenly, Jiro finds himself in a world woven between dream and reality. Which is which? Allen Say creates a tale about many things at once: the power of story, the allure of the imagined, and the gossamer line between truth and fantasy. For who among us hasn’t imagined ourselves in our own favorite fairy tale?

Book excerpt: "The silence was not just about thinking on this topic. They reached the end of the tunnel. Due to the curve they were taking, they still could not see the horizon. It must have been around nine in the morning. The sun’s rays were coming in at such a zenith angle. As they rounded the curve, the view they had been dreaming of for a long time opened up before them. The summit of a mountain which was steeper towards the top was snow-covered. Around this summit, when its size was considered in proportion to the mountain, a snake coiled, at least fifty meters wide and about a kilometer long. Its head, at the same level as the rising sun, moved ever so slightly. Its jet-black eyes could be viewed even from this distance. It had many bright, but faint, colors. Due to this, the contrast it did with the grayish-brown rocks of the mountain was weak. Its jagged tail stretched all the way down to the broad upper plain of the mountain. There was nothing at the summit of the much lower mountain on the right side. The view was perfect as the sky was cloudless and the weather was clear."
