Book Synopsis The Soldier's Life by : Michael Edward Stewart
Download or read book The Soldier's Life written by Michael Edward Stewart and published by Kismet Press Llp. This book was released on 2016-12-12 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph examines the various ways martial virtues and images of the soldier's life shaped early Byzantine cultural ideals of masculinity. It contends that in many of the visual and literary sources from the fourth to the seventh centuries CE, conceptualisations of the soldier's life and the ideal manly life were often the same. By taking this stance, the book challenges the view found in many recent studies on Late Roman and early Byzantine masculinity that suggest a Christian ideal of manliness based on extreme ascetic virtues and pacifism had superseded militarism and courage as the dominant component of hegemonic masculine ideology. Though the monograph does not reject the relevance of Christian constructions of masculinity for helping one understand early Byzantine society and its diverse representations of masculinity, it seeks to balance these modern studies' often heavy emphasis on "rigorist" Christian sources with the more customary attitudes we find in the secular, and indeed some Christian texts, praising military virtues as an essential aspect of Byzantine manliness. The connection between martial virtues and "true" manliness remained a powerful cultural force in the period covered in this study. Indeed, the reader of this work will find that the "manliness of war" is on display in much of the surviving early Byzantine literature, secular and Christian.

Book Synopsis Virtues of a Great Warrior by : Ori Avnur
Download or read book Virtues of a Great Warrior written by Ori Avnur and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtues of a Great Warrior was written after a proverb from the world of martial arts: "At the beginning of his path, the warrior trains to know how to fight. At the end, he trains to know how to avoid fighting." It tells the story of a young warrior who is looking for guidance in the art of the sword. The meeting with a great master reveals to him the real teachings behind the art, his life purpose, and also something greater... The practice of martial arts brings great control over the body, and balance and mastery over the senses, but if it's not coupled with mind training and correct intention it can become dangerous and destructive. The practitioner must not only learn the techniques externally, but he must also learn to direct the great force he has gained towards benefiting others and the Greater Good. Otherwise, no matter how skillful he becomes at his performance, he will always create more harm than good. If he selfishly uses the practice solely for his own benefit, sooner or later he will lose his inner balance and the Right Way. But if he practices with the correct motivation, he will become a peace-bringer who can bring peace to himself and to his opponent. He will know how to transform aggression into harmony.
