Book: Tales of the Lost Horizon

Author: Michael Eging

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 5/5

• 

“Tales of the Lost Horizon” is a collection of short stories and poetry written by the author Michael Eging. One of my favourite among the collection is Splendor from which some of the lines are below:

TThe bloody marred blade lays
nak’d upon a rock.
The knight, armor battered, fallen
not far off.
His hands outstretched, still
in death he grasps
for that familiar hilt.
Warrior’s noble horse
calls up on the hill.
There is no one to answer,
no one who ever will.

I enjoyed reading “From Beyond The Grave” also the most. In this story, a sealed coffin was coming from New York to Cleveland. It has the body of Craig’s wife. He wanted to spend more time with his wife. But she had run off and returned in a box.

This book is a collection of total eighteen pieces. Featured artists list show the various artists who has contributed to this book. For the first time, I have came across a book that has more than 2 artists. Eging’s work is deep and is recommended for avid readers. His writing style is nice and I enjoyed reading the poetry and short stories by him.

“Speak-A-Boo: Glimpse into Toddler’s Brains as They Learn to Walk to Talk” penned by the author Dr Neeraj Suri is a great book and it will help many parents of children who have hearing impairment. A parent of an hearing impaired child struggles through various phases. Amongst it, first one is the denial. Parents fear what society gonna comment on their child. They also develop the fear of giving birth to another child with hearing impairment.

For the first time, I have read a book that gives glimpse into toddler’s mind. This journey is not at all easy for parents. But they can make their journey easy by discussing about it with other parents who are/have been in their shoes.

Cover photo of the book looks nice. It is an insightful read and one should mark the important points for quick reference in future. Language of the book is simple. Even if one is not an avid reader, he/she could understand well what author has discussed in this book. It’s a worth reading book that author has written from her experience.

I love reading non-fiction stories as they help us to learn something from other people’s experiences and help us to grow. Recently I got my hands on the book Radical Woman compiled by Ayanna Mills Ambrose.

In this book, different authors have shared their own stories involving sexual abuse, being conceived in rape, poverty, dyslexia, etc. But the best thing is that they have walked on the path of their transformational journey to become who they are today.

The way this book is organized and presented is very impressive. Main purpose of this book is to prevent other women from making similar mistakes. I am glad to read this book and want to suggest this book to more and more women.

It’s a life changing book written in a lucid language. I am sure that readers will take away something from this book. Go ahead and read it without thinking twice. Hats off to all the authors for sharing about their journey with us.

I love reading poems. Recently I got my hands on a poetry book “The Fire Within” penned by the author Jamal Roberson. This book has several poems like New Beginning, Liberty, Downloaded, etc. The titular poem “The Fire Within” is amazing. However my favourite among the collection is Never Satisfied.

Ambition has me on a long road
With only one place to go
But one has to wonder
If it comes with a blunder
Drive
But not too fast
May scare romance
Before times run out
Without a chance
Achieve
But don’t expect to receive

Language of all the poems is simple and they are easy to understand. Even if you are not an avid poetry reader and wanna give try to reading poems, go ahead with this book. You will be able to follow the poems.
