Diana Fey Boeken

Our life contains several lives as well as several deaths; we attempt to understand these little rebirths through poetry. decompose explores pruning our past to make room for future growth; the expanse we are offered through the crush of heartbreak, discovering family beyond our original home, finding new meaning in our own name - Sofia Fey picks these timeless themes like roses from a flourishing garden to compose a thorny and succulent bouquet of living, loss, and rebirth throughout the rejuvenating pages of their debut poetry collection.

The first book in an epic and romantic YA series following the fictionalized descendants of the only officially recognized empress regent of China Gemma Huang is a recent transplant to Los Angeles from Illinois, having abandoned plans for college to pursue a career in acting, much to the dismay of her parents. Now she’s living with three roommates in a two-bedroom hovel, auditioning for bit roles that hardly cover rent. Gemma’s big break comes when she’s asked to play a lead role in an update of M. Butterfly filming for the summer in Beijing. When she arrives, she’s stopped by paparazzi at the airport. She quickly realizes she may as well be the twin of one of the most notorious young socialites in Beijing. Thus kicks off a summer of revelations, in which Gemma uncovers a legacy her parents have spent their lives protecting her from—one her mother would conceal from her daughter at any cost.

Seit dem ersten Schultag fürchtet sich Diana vor Killer-Keimen im Klassenzimmer. Ihr Kopf erkennt: »Wer wäscht, gewinnt«. Aus dem Waschen wird ein Zwang, dem weitere folgen. Diana berührt weder Türgriffe noch Pflasterfugen, brummt wie ein Bär und betet bis zum Morgengrauen. Dreißig Jahre später schafft sie es schließlich, den Teufelskreis der Ticks und obsessiven Gedanken zu durchbrechen. Humorvoll und selbstironisch führt uns dieses Buch vor Augen, dass es Normalität nicht gibt und dass in jedem von uns etwas Verrücktheit schlummert.

„Denn die Realität sah folgendermaßen aus: Arbeiten, Einkaufen, Fressen, Kotzen. Kleine Kotz-Pausen. Einkaufen, Fressen, Kotzen. Noch kleinere Kotz-Pausen. Arbeiten, Einkaufen, Fressen, Kotzen.“ Diana ist vierzehn, als ihr Martyrium beginnt: Nach einem festlichen Abendessen steckt sie sich erstmals den Finger in den Hals – und erlebt die verrückte Lust daran, sich zu übergeben. Mit harten Szenen, aber auch mit absurder Komik schildert Diana Fey die Macht einer Krankheit, die man nicht bekämpfen, jedoch besiegen kann.

Dodnes sme všetci klamaní a zavádzaní o pravom zmysle nášho bytia. Väčšina ľudí žije v duchovnej nevedomosti, hoci túžba po duchovnom poznaní, po Pravde, je ako zákon zakotvená v každom z nás a núti nás hľadať vyšší zmysel života. Odklonením sa od najvyššieho zdroja Pravdy-Stvoriteľa a Jeho večných zákonov, si ľudstvo dobrovoľne zapríčinilo svoj pád a utrpenie. Spolu so sebou strhlo aj planétu Zem. Avšak Stvoriteľ svojou magnetickou silou Zem, ako poslednú svetlú planétu vo stvorení, vytiahne znovu hore do oblasti Svetla, kam patrí, čím sa vráti na svoju pôvodnú obežnú dráhu. Tomuto deju však predchádza už niekoľko rokov prebiehajúca veľká očista Zeme, počas ktorej ju musia opustiť všetci tí, ktorí na ňu nepatria. Táto kniha je dielom spolupráce, vedenej Stvoriteľom, ktorá presahuje čisto pozemskú schopnosť chápania. Obsahuje Jeho Poslednú výzvu pre pozemské ľudstvo, ktoré všetky doterajšie Božie pomoci prehliadalo, či odmietalo. Odhaľuje omyly a klamstvá, ktoré stoja v rozpore s večnými Božími zákonmi, a ktoré sú nám v dôsledku našej nevedomosti, tisícročia podsúvané cirkvami, či inými duchovnými, ezoterickými a podobnými učeniami.
