<p>In Egyptian mythology, Iai is th rebel, the tester, the stubborn resisting force of intellect and insight which donkey-like stands its ground, refusing to budge, and challenges what is accepted and valued and thought to be sensible and true. This book is a portrait of one artist as sublime Rebel. Fortunately, it doesnt have to be a "Best of" collection (though it does contain much of his finest work). Rather, it is a sound representation, "warts and all," of the writing of someone who is perfectly, vigorously, cast as the Iai of his age. Though Harlan's work is widely known and applauded, not enough is made of the sense of social responsibility that is central to it. In fact, this dimension often seems to be deliberately overlooked and the major thrust of his fantasy trivialized. He deals in ideas, sometimes so full of love and compassion that they stun with their simple honesty; sometimes set with barbs and hooks that catch and tear and make us gasp and make us feel. Dr. Johnson would have been proud. Shakespeare would have smiled fondly. Because that's the dimension of achievement occurring here. Ellison is as close to the pulse of his age as Chaucer and Shakespeare and Dickens ever came to theirs.</p>

<p>Lien De Pau is 35 and wakes up every morning without any alarm clock. When she opens her eyes the first thing which comes to her mind is: "What would I love to do today?" Impossible? Unrealistic? A bit crazy? Think again! Because we are all able to leave our pre-defined path, even when we feel stuck in the rat race of work, family and other obligations. We can take the leap, look for what really makes us tick and find out what we really love in life. For Lien this leap meant a personal quest via 3 continents and more than 40 countries. It was a journey full of heartbreaking choices and amazing experiences. All of it leading towards the chance to finally grab the life she always dreamt of.
