*NOW A NETFLIX LIMITED SERIES—from producer and director Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) starring Mark Ruffalo, Hugh Laurie, and newcomer Aria Mia Loberti* Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist, the beloved instant New York Times bestseller and New York Times Book Review Top 10 Book about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the Resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge. Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).

This Poetry Must be Read with Emotion; Read the Words - Feel the Music! “his voice was like the sound of many waters” Oceans and oceans, The sea, the sea, the sea, Great waves crashing against the shore. Again and again they crash, Like the wrath of God upon the works of men. The rolling waves. The constant flow. A thousand little streaks of light. It is a song. It is a never ending melody. A thousand little streaks of light. Oceans and oceans, The sea, the sea, the sea, Great waves crashing against the shore. The dreams, the ideas, the plans, Again and again the wrath of God Will clash with the plans of men. And their dreams tumble. The ideas of men collapse. So they are no more But a heap of rubbish, A page of meaningless symbols, A forgotten field, A plot of ground, A grave. To rest, To sleep Forever, forever, forever. Oceans and oceans, The sea, the sea, the sea, Great waves crashing against the shore.

"The Long Journey" by Elsie Singmaster is a tale from two centuries ago. The story is derived from the experience of a German family. Their long journey started from South Germany to Mohawk Valley during Queen Anne's reign. The story is full of family adventures in the wild. Excerpt: "THE GROSS ANSPACH COW On the evening of the twenty-third of June, Conrad Weiser brought home, as was his custom, the Gross Anspach cow. The fact was, in itself, not remarkable, since it was Conrad's chief duty to take the cow to pasture, to guard her all day long, to lead her from one little patch of green grass to another, to see that she drank from one of the springs on the hillside, and to feed her now and then a little of the precious salt which he carried in his pocket. What made this twenty-third of June remarkable was the fact that this was Conrad's final journey from the pastures of Gross Anspach to Gross Anspach village."
