Stories of Lala II: Creatures of the Forest

Stories of Lala and her friends are stories of Magic, Mystery and Hope. Lala has wisdom from an ancient and unknown tribe who are in the world bringing a sense of hope and help everywhere they go. The stories are often about how in her magical and mysterious way she helps others that are hurt, lost or in danger. Through the power of Lala, her friends are able to communicate with each other and with many other creatures of the forest and places where they travel in an unknown time. Some of Lala's unusual friends come from different far off lands. We join Lala and her tribe of friends for a while somewhere on their journey. For Mums and Dads: When we were young, we were all told stories of Myth, Magic and Hope, in one way or another. It's what parents do, for we realize that there is something special about children, they are awake to wonder, until they become immersed in our world of sleep-inducing pastimes, where they become occupied with things that are not always full of wonder. My kids heard different stories from what you will read in these pages, for the stories were always told in the immediacy of the moment, as it often is with kids, settling them down, getting ready for sleep. With many adventures, new characters coming and going as the years passed. The essence of the stories is the same, some fun, a little information, some excitement, a little magic of the forest and mystery of our world, a happy, funny or thoughtful ending. My kids liked the action stories, a lot actually. But funnily enough, as they mentioned to me at some point, "No-one ever dies or gets really hurt in 'Lala stories.'" "Really," says I. "Yea, never," says they, rolling their eyes at me. "Whao, that's strange," says I. I just rolled them back. What else can you do? The important thing for me as a parent was to keep and encourage that 'sense of wonder' all kids have; so that a seed is buried inside, a seed that may grow from them-selves as they become older. Of course, many old fashioned traditional 'fairy-tales' contain elements of horror, for whatever reason that may be. They originate in their own age and change somewhat through time. But even those old stories of magic, myth and horror are now visualized in full glory and gory, blasting impressions into our kid's minds, rather than the natural cognitive imagery that develops as they listen to stories being told to them. In these days it's not far away when our kids become immersed in the technological visual and often negative distractions. Teams of psychologists have studied how to get their emotional hooks into kids and turn them into consumers for life, and unfortunately, that now begins in the early years of wonder. We all want our kids to be emotionally stable, to care about others and not only the 'selfi'. We want them to have a sense and a feeling of hope, born from inside; especially in these days where all sense of inner value is being manipulated and eroded. It's not possible or probably even wise to escape that; our kids have to live and survive in the time they are born into, we all know that. But there is something else that we all know. There is 'something' special that lies deep, buried within all of us, that 'something' that falls asleep to wonder, that, in our quiet and truthful moments, we all feel. Sometimes we awake and realize how lost and disconnected or disembodied we are from our self. If a seed is there that recognizes inherent hope and can maintain a sense of the miraculous of life, even though it's buried and covered over by the necessities and troubles of daily life, then, one day, it may grow, and help support that often fragile structure that we call "our-self". And in the times we live in - every little bit helps.

Chhatrapati Shivaji (Lala Lajpatrai Ji Krit) (Hindi)
MAPLE PRESS PVT LTD

pokkari
Chhatrapati Shivaji, renowned for his patriotism, administrative skills and versatile talents, emerged as a prominent figure in Indian history. Shivaji's devotedness to his mother, Jijabai, who was also his mentor, played a crucial role in forming his character and principles. While the precise year of his birth remains debated, 1630 AD is accepted as the most probable. Shivaji was aware of the intricate socio-cultural fabric of his kingdom, and he was committed to upholding the values of his people and the Hindu faith. He is rightfully hailed as the architect of the Maratha nation. His unwavering resistance against the Mughal rulers culminated in a valiant struggle that endured until his final breath. Succumbing to illness, Shivaji passed away on April 15, 1680, leaving a legacy that continues to inspire generations.
Teddy is thrilled to receive the best gift of all ... a new puppy and best friend, Lala. Join Teddy and Lala on the first of their many adventures! A story about connection.
A beautifully illustrated, concise critical analysis of the art, careers, and reception of the husband-wife team of artists known as Les Lalanne François-Xavier (1927–2008) and Claude (1925–2019) Lalanne were a husband-wife team of artists who created inventive and often surprising works that have been widely admired and collected since the 1960s. This book presents a carefully selected group of sculptures that focus on a shared preoccupation of the artists: the transformation of natural forms to serve new purposes, such as François-Xavier’s giant grasshopper sculpture that opens into a bar and Claude’s bench made of galvanized metal branches and vines such that it remains as much a forest as a place to sit. Critical analysis explores the full breadth of the artists’ careers; considers the complex issues of reception and categorization of their work; and prompts a reevaluation of the place their art occupies in the context of art museums, all while encouraging readers to consider relationships among nature, art, and their own encounters with both.Distributed for the Clark Art InstituteExhibition Schedule:Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, MA (May 8–October 31, 2021)
The legendary husband-and-wife artist team has been the inspiration for high-society collectors and decorators, such as Pierre Berge, Serge Gainsbourg, Peter Marino, Jane Holzer, and Reed Krakoff for over five decades. Crossing over many audiences - from interior design to fine art to high society, the works of the Lalannes have aspirational yet broad appeal. Their surreal flock of sheep sculpture is now de rigeur for any important collection, while their functional hippopotamus wet bar sells for millions of dollars at auction. Highly collected and promoted by an important group of art insiders, Lalanne works are often the focus of the well-curated room, as seen in many magazine covers. This book on their work will appeal to decorators, designers, artists, and all those who love beautiful art objects.
Letters to Lalage

The short-lived but remarkable correspondence presented in Letters to Lalage took place toward the end of Charles Williams' life. Louis Lang-Sims was not the first young woman to seek his help or to fall beneath his spell. When she wrote to him in September 1943 Williams had already had numerous admirers, pupils, and disciples who looked to him for counsel, for advice, and most especially, for encouragement. His affinity with Louis Lang-Sims was not surprising. Some thirty years younger than he was, she was in due course herself to become a forceful and individual writer whose literary output, though relatively small, was almost as varied as Williams' own. In Lois Lang-Sims' writings, as in those of Charles Williams, a variety of literary forms embody a singleness of imaginative vision. But at the time of their first meeting she was only twenty-six years old and, according to her autobiographical a Time to be Born, in a state of great mental and emotional confusion. Now, nearly fifty years later, she presents the letters Williams wrote to her, together with her own comments on a relationship that was to come to such an abrupt, and in some respects disturbing, end. The intense demands of Williams' mental and imaginative life did not permit him to be readily or relaxingly gregarious, though in whatever company he happened to be, for example as part of the Inklings group at Oxford, he was a powerful presence. Letters to Lalage enables us to study his involvement in one particular relationship with one particular person. As such they form an invaluable supplement to the more general accounts of Williams' life supplied by his biographers. As a writer Williams blends to a remarkable degree those seemingly contradictory characteristics of impersonality and mannered idiosyncrasy which were features of his daily bearing. We see here something of the hypnotic quality of Charles Williams' character and may obtain from it a deep if glancing insight into his extremely vulnerable humanity. At times a painful document, Letters to Lalage is of the greatest value in illuminating some of the more troubled aspects of a Christian writer and teacher who, more convincingly than most, could evoke the nature of joy--and who could induce joy in other people, however precariously he may have been aware of it himself. Most especially this book gives one an insight into the price Charles Williams paid (and unwittingly exacted) for his particular gifts and vision.
