The young Kyone, priestess of Hibernia, is taken as a prisoner to the king. She possesses something very valuable that the king needs to maintain power. However, in exchange for handing it over, she Kyone imposes a condition on the king. Captain Dasheth takes on the difficult task of mediating between the monarch and Kyone; but an unexpected event between the captain and the young prisoner endangers the safety of both. The future of the royal family and the entire Kingdom of Hibernia will depend on whether the king accepts the condition imposed by Kyone. True power is not always that of the strongest, but rather that of the one who uses force best.

Most of the poems in this volume are short lyrics, published after several unfortunate tragedies had occurred in Frost's personal life, i.e. his daughter Marjorie's death in 1934, his wife's death in 1938, his son Carol's suicide in 1940. Despite these losses, Frost continued to work on his poetry and eventually fell in love with his secretary Kay Marrison, who became the primary inspiration of the love poems in this collection. This collection is the last of Frost's books that demonstrates the seamless lyric quality of his earlier poems.

In "Appreciations, with an Essay on Style," Walter Pater delivers a masterful exploration of aesthetic philosophy through a collection of critical essays that scrutinize the intricate relationship between art and perception. With a literary style characterized by its lyrical beauty and rich, vivid imagery, Pater engages deeply with the works of luminaries such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and literature's modernists, foregrounding the aesthetic experience as a profound and subjective engagement with life itself. This work not only reflects the intellectual milieu of the late Victorian era—a period rife with artistic experimentation—but also endeavors to articulate a doctrine of aestheticism that champions beauty as both a guiding principle and a moral imperative in art. Walter Pater was a pivotal figure in the aesthetic movement, whose scholarly pursuits in literature and philosophy laid the groundwork for modern literary criticism. His early career in academia afforded him a unique vantage point to appreciate the nuances of artistic expression and its philosophical underpinnings. Influenced by his encounters with Romanticism, Pater's deep-seated belief in the significance of personal interpretation and the inherent value of beauty permeates his work, establishing him as a voice of radical thought in an era of rigid conventions. For those seeking insight into the convergence of art and aesthetics, "Appreciations" stands as an essential read. Pater's elegant prose invites readers to contemplate the essence of beauty, encouraging a richer understanding of artistic endeavor and its emotional resonance. This book is a treasure for scholars, artists, and anyone wishing to cultivate an appreciation for the delicate interplay between style and substance in the world of arts.

Arne: A Sketch of Norwegian Country Life

What is the material basis of the thoughts that occur inside our heads? Where do imaginative, creative, or spiritual thoughts come from - can these really be the product of nerve impulses in the brain? And is the human mind radically different from that of other species, or is our uniqueness more superficial than real? In this audiobook, Oxford biologist John Parrington proposes a radical new theory of human consciousness, arguing that a qualitative leap in consciousness occurred during human evolution as language and tool use transformed our brains. Rejecting outdated views of the brain as a hard-wired circuit diagram, he draws on the latest insights from neuroscience to show that meaning is created within our heads through a dynamic interaction of oscillating brain waves. This new model of consciousness not only provides a material basis of our innermost thoughts but also explains why the mind can sometimes go wrong, causing deep mental distress.

Sometimes pain makes its mark on our lifes in such profound ways that it feels like they start to define who we are. The more we try to hide the pain by wearing masks to show the world that "everything is fine", the more that pain does not allow us to have a life full of real love and real joy. My story is about this kind of pain. But beyond that, it's about the real process of healing. It's about how I finally understood the reason for so much suffering. Amid all the mess in my life, I found my way back to my safe harbor, to my truth and my self-love. In this book, my deepest desire is to take you the reader on a journey of love, understanding and acceptance, so that you can: Leave behind the cycle of suffering and experience the relief and support you will need for the next steps; Rebuild your relationships, starting with yourself followed by everyone who is important in your life; Reconnect with your self-value and your own truth, so that you can live according to your purpose in life; Experience forgiveness and allow yourself to be truthfully happy; Free the strength inside yourself!

In "Rosa Alchemica," W. B. Yeats explores the mystical and philosophical dimensions of alchemy through a symbolic narrative that intertwines the material and spiritual realms. Written in a lyrical style characteristic of Yeats's later work, the text delves into themes of transformation, desire, and the quest for ultimate knowledge. The book is steeped in rich imagery and esoteric symbolism, reflecting Yeats'Äôs engagement with various traditions, including mysticism and occult practices, and illustrates his conviction in the interrelation between the physical and spiritual worlds, presenting alchemy as both a metaphorical and literal pathway to enlightenment. W. B. Yeats, a pivotal figure in the Irish literary revival and a Nobel laureate, was deeply influenced by the esoteric traditions of his day, including the Theosophical Society and the Golden Dawn. His fascination with the mystical and the metaphysical is intricately woven into his poetry and prose. "Rosa Alchemica" stands as an embodiment of his exploration into the metaphysical, reflecting his desire to synthesize profound philosophical concepts with personal and national identity amidst the backdrop of a rapidly changing Ireland. For readers intrigued by the intersection of poetry and philosophy, "Rosa Alchemica" is an essential addition to Yeats's oeuvre. This work beckons not only those interested in literary aesthetics but also readers who seek to unpack the deeper spiritual and philosophical inquiries that challenge the boundaries of understanding. Yeats'Äôs profound engagement with the theme of transformation invites readers to reflect on their own journeys of self-discovery.

Immanuel Kant's "Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals" is a foundational work in ethical philosophy, where Kant meticulously articulates his deontological ethics. Through a rigorous analysis that harmonizes rationality with morality, he introduces the concept of the categorical imperative, asserting that moral actions must be universally applicable. The text's clarity and precision reflect the Enlightenment's quest for reason and autonomy, making a significant contribution to moral philosophy in its examination of duty, moral law, and human dignity. Kant, a prominent figure of the Enlightenment, was deeply influenced by the intellectual currents of his time, including the rationalist and empiricist traditions. His philosophical inquiries often harmonized with his commitment to the autonomy of human reason, which shaped the ethical frameworks he presented. His background as a professor of logic and metaphysics provided him with the tools to rigorously dissect moral principles, establishing a stark contrast to the prevalent consequentialist views of his contemporaries. Highly recommended for students and scholars alike, this work is essential for anyone seeking to understand the underpinnings of modern moral philosophy. Kant'Äôs profound insights challenge readers to reflect upon the nature of ethical decision-making and the role of reason in moral judgments, making it a timeless beacon of ethical discourse.

The Secret Garden

'A grisly, sobering, comprehensively researched new history.' - The New Yorker Indecent Advances is a skilful hybrid of true crime and social history that examines the often-coded portrayal of crimes against gay men in the decades before Stonewall. New York University professor and critic James Polchin illustrates how homosexuals were criminalized, and their murders justified, in the popular imagination from 1930s 'sex panics' to Cold War fear of Communists and homosexuals in government. He shows the vital that role crime stories played in ideas of normalcy and deviancy, and how those stories became tools to discriminate against and harm gay men. J. Edgar Hoover, Kerouac, Burroughs, Patricia Highsmith, James Baldwin, Allen Ginsberg and Gore Vidal all feature. Published around the fiftieth anniversary of the Stonewall uprising in 1969, Indecent Advances investigates how queer men navigated a society that criminalized them. Polchin shows how this discrimination was ultimately transformed by gay rights activists before Stonewall, and explores its resonances up to and including the policing of Gianni Versace's death in 1997.

Do you love him Marie?' 'Um… of course… I love Jesus' I stammered. "Great guy.' 'I'm talking about the man you intend to marry in my church…' 'Oh…' Cataclysmic events are nigh in Malente, Germany. Satan (a dead ringer for George Clooney) is on the prowl, recruiting horsemen for next week's Armageddon - and in a boring, provincial place like this, he's apparently spoiled for choice. One might hope that the Archangel Gabriel would be some help since he's in town, but he's too busy with a tantric sex marathon to deliver anyone from evil. Meanwhile gentle, sandal-wearing carpenter Joshua encounters, by chance, washed-up thirtysomething singleton Marie. She's hit a career dead-end, and her dad's gone and shacked up with some sort of Eastern European nymphomaniac. So when handsome Joshua comes round to work on the roof, she realises she has nothing to lose by asking him out. But what of his divinely-appointed task? The Apocalypse is scheduled for Tuesday. Things are looking grim. Provocative and blasphemous, but with surprising meditations on the nature of faith, free will and human nature, Apocalypse Next Tuesday is a book full of surprises.

Although fear of flying is often seen as a simple phobia, it can actually be very complex and involve many different factors. One of the most common triggers for fear of flying is a bad experience during previous flights. This can be turbulence, a delay or even a layover due to technical problems or bad weather.

The purpose of the book is to provide an overall view of advertising in the twentieth century while filling in the gap of information that exists in Italy where just a few names are known. The book also provides a leading thread about those professionals who, in the second half of the 20th century, were the protagonists of the creative revolution and whose influence has been seminal on both American and English advertising. The book has no historical intentions nor aims at classifying people into schools or categories (as such an approach would be pretentious and inadequate in a profession so deeply entangled with economics and consumer attitudes). The content in brief: The book is made up of short biographies of famous and well known advertising people ? mainly art directors and copywriters ? interspersed with a few explanatory chapters that are simply summaries on certain subjects. For instance The Big Agencies outlines the origins of historical agencies, such as J.W. Thompson, BBDO, and Young & Rubicam. The State of Things explains what happened after the (so called) Creative Revolution. The Spot-Makers presents people like Howard Zieff, Joe Pytka, Rick Levine, and Bob Giraldi. Old School Ties and Colonels is about British advertising before Collett Dickinson and Pearce. La Grande Parade depicts the peculiarities of French advertising and Carosello and its Victims explains the unusual features of the Italian Carosello (an early TV format that hosted commercials), etc. Biographies are structured differently along the lines of individual stories and, generally, tend to highlight the meaningful events in one's career rather than their early life and experiences. This way of telling a story is, of course, somewhat influenced by the author s experiences and point of view and represents the original aspect of the book. Among the influentials , Americans and Britons outnumber French and Italians. A final section with Contributions by various authors and famous copywriters: Gossage, Della Femina, Abbott, Séguéla, Marcantonio, Pirella, etc. completes the book. The Author: Pia Elliott worked as a copywriter in multiple international advertising agencies before co-founding Promos Italia (which would go on to become part of BBDO). Her agency became a school for some of the most creative copywriters and art directors in Italian advertising. Later on in her life Pia Elliott focused her attention towards Institutions. She coordinated many communication campaigns for the European Union, even spearheading the public service announcements introducing the Euro as common currency. Nowadays Mrs. Elliott spends her time writing about advertising, teaches University-level courses and seminars, and is working on a biography regarding a select few of contemporary and historical musician

"Eugene Onegin" is one of the most popular Russian classics of all time. Written in verse, it is Pushkin’s answer to the Byronic hero in England, and further elevates Pushkin as the best Russian poet. A bored rich nobleman comes to rural Russia, where he meets a young woman with whom he falls in love. Some misunderstanding follows where Onegin kills a friend of his in a duel. The strictly conversational tone of the novel, as well as the careful depiction of characters, their inner worlds, and the natural surroundings create a symphony that has permeated all aspects of Russian culture since 1820. Its countless opera, ballet, and movie adaptations make "Eugene Onegin" an immortal classic that should be known by everyone. Deservedly labelled "the best Russian poet", Pushkin’s short life (1799-1837) did not prevent him from ushering Russian literature into its modern era. A master of the vernacular language and multifarious and vivid writing style, Pushkin’s oeuvre was of great influence to a whole legion of Russian writers and literary styles. Among his best-known works are the narrative poems "Ruslan and Ludmila" and "Eugene Onegin", the drama "Boris Godunov", several novels, short stories, and fairy tales.

Her experiences with love, loss, and spirituality inform the nuances of her poetry, allowing her to express the complexities of human experience with sensitivity and insight. Rossetti's struggle with personal affliction and societal constraints prompted her to craft poems that engage with themes of women's agency, cultural expectation, and the interplay of light and darkness. This compelling collection is a must-read for anyone interested in Victorian literature, gender studies, or the evolution of poetic form. Rossetti's work invites readers to reflect on the nature of desire and its consequences, making it a timeless exploration of the human condition.

Goblin Market, The Prince's Progress, and Other Poems

Tribal leaders in opposition to the government, the corruption of occupation, society torn apart by shifting political loyalties... this is the background to one woman's powerful story. A Persian Requiem is a powerful and evocative novel. Set in the southern Persian town of Shiraz in the last years of World War II, when the British army occupied the south of Persia, the novel chronicles the life of Zari, a traditional, anxious and superstitious woman whose husband, sef, is an idealistic feudal landlord. The occupying army upsets the balance of traditional life and throws the local people into conflict. sef is anxious to protect those who depend upon him and will stop at nothing to do so. His brother, on the other hand, thinks nothing of exploiting his kinsmen to further his own political ambitions. Thus a web of political intrigue and hostilities is created, which slowly destroys families. In the background, tribal leaders are in open rebellion against the government, and a picture of a society torn apart by unrest emerges. In the midst of this turbulence, normal life carries on in the beautiful courtyard of Zari's house, in the rituals she imposes upon herself and in her attempt to keep the family safe from external events. But the corruption engendered by occupation is pervasive - some try to profit as much as possible from it, others look towards communism for hope, whilst yet others resort to opium. Finally even Zari's attempts to maintain normal family life are shattered as disaster strikes. An immensely moving story, A Persian Requiem is also a powerful indictment of the corrupting effects of colonization. A Persian Requiem (first published in 1969 in Iran under the title Savushun), was the first novel written by an Iranian woman and, sixteen reprints and half a million copies later, it remains the most widely read Persian novel. In Iran it has helped shape the ideas and attitudes of a generation in its revelation of the factors that contributed to the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Simin Daneshvar's A Persian Requiem ... goes a long way towards deepening our understanding of Islam and the events leading up to the 1979 Revolution ... The central characters adroitly reflect different Persian attitudes of the time, attitudes that were eventually to harden into support for either the Ayatollah and his Islamic fundamentalism or, alternatively, for the corrupting Westernisation of the Shah. The value of the book lies in its ability to present these emergent struggles in human terms, in the day-to-day realities of small-town life ... Complex and delicately crafted, this subtle and ironic book unites reader and writer in the knowledge that human weakness, fanaticism, love and terror are not confined to any one creed. The Financial Times A Persian Requiem is not just a great Iranian novel, but a world classic. The Independent on Sunday ... it would be no exaggeration to say that all of Iranian life is there. Spare Rib For an English reader, there is almost an embarrassment of new settings, themes and ideas ... Under the guise of something resembling a family saga - although the period covered is only a few months - A Persian Requiem teaches many lessons about a society little understood in the West. Rachel Billington, The Tablet This very human novel avoids ideological cant while revealing complex political insights, particularly in light of the 1979 Iranian revolution. Publishers Weekly A Persian Requiem, originally published [in Iran] in 1969, was a first novel by Iran's first woman novelist. It has seen sixteen reprints, sold over half a million copies, and achieved the status of a classic, literally shaping the ideas of a generation. Yet when asked about the specific appeal of the novel, most readers are at a loss to pinpoint a single, or even prominent aspect to account for this phenomenal success.

"Everyman," among a collection of interludes that includes eight miracle plays, stands as a paragon of medieval morality literature. Written in the late 15th century, this didactic piece employs allegorical characters to navigate the moral complexities of life, emphasizing themes of death, accountability, and the ephemeral nature of earthly pleasures. The simplicity of its dialogue, paired with poignant symbolism, allows for accessible yet profound reflections on the human condition. The interspersed miracle plays enliven this collection, showcasing the theatrical tradition of medieval Europe, where faith and morality intertwine seamlessly with entertainment. The authorship of "Everyman" is attributed to various anonymous contributors, typical of medieval literature which thrived in a collaborative artistic culture. This era, rich with burgeoning religious fervor and the burgeoning recognition of individualism, likely influenced the intent behind the work. The moral instruction offered in "Everyman" resonates with the societal shift towards personal accountability and introspection that characterized the late medieval period. For readers interested in the historical foundations of drama and morality, "Everyman" serves as a vital piece of literature that transcends its time. Its enduring relevancy and clarity render it a compelling read, offering insight into both the medieval psyche and universal human dilemmas.

Vuk Stefanović Karadžić (1787-1864) was a Serbian philologist, anthropologist and linguist. He was one of the most important reformers of the modern Serbian language. For his collection and preservation of Serbian folktales, the Encyclopædia Britannica labelled Karadžić «the father of Serbian folk-literature scholarship». He was also the author of the first Serbian dictionary in the new reformed language. In addition, he translated the New Testament into the reformed form of the Serbian spelling and language. Literary historian Jovan Deretić summarized his work as «During his fifty years of tireless activity, he accomplished as much as an entire academy of sciences». The Karadžić’s tale The Language of Animals (Немушти језик), which we present to our readers today in the English translation by John Theophilus Naaké, was included by Naaké in the collection Slavonic Fairy Tales, published in London in 1874.

Sarrasine is a novella by Honoré de Balzac first published in 1830. The tale follows the undulating pathways of Sarrasine the sculptor’s shocking journey to his coming of age. As one of the “fathers of realism” Balzac painted with his words a vivid portrait of life in the swirling salons of Europe at the end of the Bourbon monarchy, and we follow Sarrasine from France to Italy in search of both his métier and his muse. However it is also the story of La Zambinella, an Italian singer with whom Sarrasine falls madly and passionately in love. But that passion holds a secret which Sarrasine spies too late. Total Running Time (TRT): 1 hour, 39 min. Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) was a French novelist and playwright. His magnum opus was a sequence of short stories, La Comédie humaine. Many of Balzac's works have been made into or have inspired films, and they are a continuing source of inspiration for writers, filmmakers and critics. Before and during his career as a writer, he attempted to be a publisher, printer, businessman, critic, and politician; he failed in all of these efforts. La Comédie humaine reflects his real-life difficulties, and includes scenes from his own experience.
