Page 10 of 40 Chapter 1: Charred Lands and Flame A huge, empty plain lay in a mysterious area far away, hidden by tall mountains and thick woods. A big, dormant volcano lay beneath the top of this plain, making it one of a kind. Ember, the horse that was on fire, lived here in the gray and black volcanic ash that covered the whole area. Ember wasn't like other unicorns. It was stunning to see, with its beautiful hair on fire and moving like it was dancing in the wind. Its feet sparkled like diamonds as it ran across the ground, leaving a light trail behind them. The volcano had been dormant for thousands of years, but now it was Ember's home and a peaceful place to relax. There was a golden glow around Ember every morning when he woke up, as the sun was rising. Ember's fiery mane would catch the first rays of sunlight, making a beautiful show of brightness that stood out against the dark surroundings. Then Ember would start its day by racing over the well-worn paths it knew, paths that wound around rocky outcroppings that looked like the spines of a huge sleeping animal and around large fields of ash. Because of the warmth coming from deep in the ground, life grew even though the area looked empty. There were patches of bright red grass all over the fields, making for an interesting and beautiful scene. This grass, which was as red as Ember's flames, was eaten by it. It happily grazed, loving the warm ground under its hooves. The constant warmth of this place was a gentle reminder of how strong that person really was. Ember had a calm life. She spent her days thinking about herself and quietly looking into things. Ember liked finding new places in the large ash fields, and she would sometimes go near the edge, where the ash gave way to the solid, hard rock of the volcano's shell. From these spots, Ember could see the land around her, the woods that surrounded the white fields, and the mountains that rose high into the sky. The volcano was a scary, silent monster. Its rumblings were a memory, and its explosions were a dream. Ember had heard stories about how the volcano exploded and sent ash and flames into the sky. The stories were whispered through the ash by the wind. But that was a long time ago. In the harsh land around it, the volcano was a safe place to stay warm and a steady presence. Ember's life was simple but full of happiness. There was a wide open sky above, warm ground to rest on, bright red grass to eat, and nothing else. It seemed like its days had a natural flow, like the beat of its heart. Ember didn't know it, but her peaceful life was about to change. When Ember's new story was about to start, the volcano that had been keeping her safe in silence moved. Ashen regions were not the only places Ember would be going to on this exciting trip. It would take it into new areas and to a future it could never have imagined. As the days went by, Ember noticed a small change in the mood that made her think of something that was about to happen. The ground under its feet, which had been warm before, became hotter all of a sudden, and the air was filled with excitement. Ember felt something stirring inside her, like a spark of joy that meant something new was about to start, but she had no idea what it was. So, with its bright main light shining against the gray background, Ember kept traveling the empty fields, not knowing

In Mirrors, Galeano smashes aside the narrative of conventional history and arranges the shards into a new pattern, to reveal the past in radically altered form. From the Garden of Eden to twenty-first-century cityscapes, we glimpse fragments in the lives of those who have been overlooked by traditional histories: the artists, the servants, the gods and the visionaries, the black slaves who built the White House, and the women who were bartered for dynastic ends

A poetic, passionate and intensely personal exploration of colour written during the final year of Derek Jarman's life -- with a new introduction by Ali Smith. In Chroma, his most poetic and lyrical book, Derek Jarman explores the uses of colour. Shifting across the spectrum and from the medieval to the modern, he draws on the work of great colour theorists from Pliny to Leonardo. Interwoven with these musings are evocative memories from Jarman's childhood and illustrious career, along with reflections on his deteriorating health. Written a year before Jarman’s death, and as his eyesight was failing, this is an intensely personal work; a paean from an artist seeking to memorialise the extraordinary power of colour even while it receded from his own life.
