"The final crisis of Mahler's career occurred in 1910, when he learned that his wife, Alma, was having an affair with the architect Walter Gropius. The revelation precipitated a breakdown while Mahler was working on his Tenth Symphony. The anguished, suicidal notes Mahler scrawled across the manuscript of the unfinished symphony reveal his troubled state. It was a four-hour consultation with Sigmund Freud in Leiden, Holland, that restored the composer's equilibrium. Although Mahler left little record of what transpired in Leiden, Stuart Feder has reconstructed the encounter on the basis of surviving evidence. The cumulative stresses of the crises in Mahler's life, in particular Alma's betrayal, left him physically and emotionally vulnerable. He became ill and died soon after in 1911."--BOOK JACKET.

The story is set in Japan in the 80s. It focuses on a family where Namiko the protagonist, an only child of Anand and his Japanese wife Yuvi, is brought up in Ninenzaka, a suburb of Kyoto. Takeshisan a Zen monk enters their life and deeply influences the family. His presence is always calming because of his philosophy of ‘Uketamo’ which is acceptance of life with its ups and downs. A visit to his monastery with her father helps Namiko to understand the Buddhist way of life. Listening to her father’s tales of his upbringing, Namiko is curious about India and joins him on a trip to Calcutta, visiting several places on the way, including Lumbini the birthplace of Gautam Buddha.

What about her childhood friend Takano? Will he and his sister Kimiko play a crucial role in her life? Surely, there is more to it than meets the eye! Read to find out.

Now back in print, the definitive biography of a seminal figure in film history, whom Orson Welles called “the greatest of all directors.” Jean Renoir’s career almost spans the history years of cinema–from the early silent movies, to the naturalism of the talkies, committed cinema, film noir, Hollywood studio productions, the Technicolor-period comedies and fast television techniques. His film The Grand Illusion remains one of the greatest movies about the effects of war. Decades after its release, Renoir’s The Rules of the Game (1939) is the only film to have been included on every top ten list in the Sight & Sound's respected decennial poll since 1952, cementing Renoir’s influence. André Bazin and François Truffaut praised Renoir as the patron saint of the French New Wave. Jean Renoir: Projections of Paradise gives detailed accounts of Renoir’s working methods and captivating appraisals of his films, and his long and fascinating life from his blissful childhood as the son of the great Impressionist painter August Renoir. This is a must-read for students of film and all fans of entertaining, timeless movies.
