Wind And Truth [Bok / Pocket]

<strong>Combining the whimsy and possibility of <em>The Midnight Library</em> with the mystery and revelatory power of <em>The Secret</em>, a heartwarming and inspiring novel about a man on a magical ride who is unexpectedly offered a chance at happiness.</strong><br/><br/>After losing multiple contracts, Shuichi must make restitution to his company. Faced with this large, unanticipated debt, the trip to Paris he and his wife have been planning for a year must be canceled. Traveling to Europe was more than a vacation; it offered the hope of reaching their teenage daughter who has stopped going to school and will not leave her room. Feeling despondent and directionless, Shuichi believes he's the unluckiest person in Japan.<br/><br/>Then a strange taxi mysteriously appears at his door. The driver promises to take Shuichi not to a destination he needs, but to where his next opportunity will be. With nothing to lose, he settles into the backseat and embarks on a series of magical rides that will teach him surprising life lessons, including how luck is not inherent-it's an investment built over time and even over generations.<br/><br/>A compassionate and uplifting fable, <em>The Lucky Ride</em> will make you reconsider what's important, how to be more present in your life, and empower you to create happiness not just for yourself but for those to come.<br/><br/>Translated from the Japanese by Takami Nieda

<b><i>"The Underworld has a queen!"</i></b><br/><br/>Persephone and Hades are finally reunited when the banished goddess of spring returns to the Underworld to claim her rightful place as queen. Now that Hades and Persephone have defeated and imprisoned the power-hungry Kronos once more, nothing can keep them apart, and years of being separated have only made their desire for each other grow. But the other Olympians can't help but meddle, pushing the pair to make things official with a coronation - and a wedding.<br/><br/>Ignoring the others who try to define their relationship, Hades and Persephone choose to take things at their own pace and focus on rebuilding the Underworld. They begin by investigating how Kronos was first able to escape, and they learn the horrifying truth that he has captured a powerful young god whose abilities help Kronos project his thoughts outside of Tartarus - thoughts he uses to plague Hera's every waking moment. Though Kronos' physical form is locked away, Olympus will never be free until they can rescue the child from the furious Titan's grasp.<br/><br/>To save the realms, Persephone must figure out her fertility goddess powers and embrace her role as Queen of the Underworld - even as it takes her further from her mother's expectations and her former place in the Mortal Realm.<br/><br/>This edition of Smythe's original Eisner Award-winning webcomic <i>Lore Olympus</i> features a brand-new, exclusive short story from creator Rachel Smythe and brings the Greek pantheon into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel.<br/><br/><b>This volume collects episodes 207-233 of the #1 WEBTOON comic <i>Lore Olympus</i>.</b>

When the Tarot was invented in Italy during the early fifteenth century, it was simply a pack of cards used for playing games, but today the cards are used throughout the world and not only for fortune telling - for true believers they are the key to secret knowledge and the meaning of life.<br/><br/> <em>A History of the Occult Tarot</em> is the classic work on the history of the Tarot deck and its use in occult circles. Decker and Dummett examine how the Tarot became the favoured divination tool of occultists from the late nineteenth century - a bridge to the spirit world, a map of the unconscious.<br/><br/> From Theosophical to Aleister Crowley to the Order of the Golden Dawn and P.D. Ouspensky, this compelling survey of the Tarot's history describes the many fascinating decks imagined over time as well as the secret histories of the mystics who devised them.

Paul and Karl Effinger, sons of a watchmaker, leave the German provinces to seek their fortune in Berlin in 1878. Ambitious and talented, they soon establish themselves as entrepreneurs and marry the daughters of the wealthy Oppner family. A flourishing horizon opens before them, but the Great War and youthful rebellion of the 1920s lay waste to bourgeois certainties, and, as the generations pass, a rising antisemitism begins to shadow their bright world. With dazzling historical sweep, Gabriele Tergit tells of the family's changing fortunes within the vibrantly evoked, ever-changing metropolis of Berlin. Bursting with life and vivid characters, The Effingers is a monumental novel that bears witness to a vanished world of Berlin's Jewish life, in all its richness and complexity.
