Though unlikely to displace Stephen Mitchell's popular rendering of the Tao, this volume will delight spiritual seekers and devotees of Taoism, while also making a lovely gift. The most widely translated book in world literature after the Bible is Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, the classic manual on the art of living. Hamill's poetry is complemented by Kazuaki Tanahashi's dramatic calligraphy, with 18 original representations of words or characters. The Tao-literally, "the way"-resists being nailed down or put in a box and mastered. To wit, this lovely meditation: "It's best to be like water, nurturing the ten thousand things without competing, flowing into places people scorn." And yet Hamill does not seek to drain the text of its mystery. Hamill has rendered the Tao Te Ching afresh his translation from the Chinese is achingly poetic. People should "cling to no treasures," but rather devote themselves to a pure disinterestedness, becoming most truly themselves when they achieve selflessness.

For instance, she taunts the Nazi officer who turns his back after he returns her clothes one piece at a time, from "the outside in," in exchange for the Allies' codes, so she must undress each time she receives a new item she tells him he's "missing a good show." She's often punished for her sassy commentary, which wins us over immediately. But her small acts of rebellion as recorded by her own hand betray her bravery. She was captured when her plane went down in France, where she's being held by SS-Hauptsturmführer von Linden. Verity, the narrator-prisoner's code name, is a Scot working for the allies. It's the opening to her written confession for her Nazi captors. "I am a coward," admits the narrator in the very first line of Wein's ( The Winter Prince) extraordinary novel.

It was one of the highest-rated Australian programs of the 20th century. “It was 13 hours made on a princely budget of about $75,000 per hour, so we had to scrimp and save and do all sorts of clever things to make it work. “This was one of the first mini-series in the world,” Crawford says.

Now, somewhat older, hopefully wiser, I decided to finally put down my ideas on paper and write about a heroine not unlike myself (personality wise, certainly not realistically).Īfter finding my own soulmate (which is just another word for the only man willing to live with me), and having two beautiful children, I'm changing my stay-at-home mom status to part-time author.
