Book Synopsis Quintessence of Dust by : Kenneth Chan
Download or read book Quintessence of Dust written by Kenneth Chan and published by Quintessence of Dust. This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shakespeare's Hamlet contains a profound spiritual message for mankind that has been largely unrecognized for centuries. The meaning of Hamlet so perplexed critics over the last four hundred years that many finally concluded, after immense struggle, that the play lacks a binding philosophy. Nothing, in fact, is more wrong. Quintessence of Dust now explains how Shakespeare meticulously crafted every scene to convey, through our emotional involvement in the drama, a central spiritual message. The book also explains by a single coherent theme practically every aspect of the play that has puzzled critics for centuries. It demonstrates that Hamlet is nothing short of an artistic miracle, reflected both in its poetic brilliance and in its profound meaning.

In Europe, the magic is thin, but at the edge of the world, where the stars reach down close to the Earth, wonders abound. This drives the bravest explorers to the alluring Western Ocean. Christopher Sinclair is an alchemist who cares only about one thing: quintessence, a substance he believes will grant magical powers and immortality. And he has a ship.
Download or read book Hamlet and Emotions written by Paul Megna and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume bears potent testimony, not only to the dense complexity of Hamlet’s emotional dynamics, but also to the enduring fascination that audiences, adaptors, and academics have with what may well be Shakespeare’s moodiest play. Its chapters explore emotion in Hamlet, as well as the myriad emotions surrounding Hamlet’s debts to the medieval past, its relationship to the cultural milieu in which it was produced, its celebrated performance history, and its profound impact beyond the early modern era. Its component chapters are not unified by a single methodological approach. Some deal with a single emotion in Hamlet, while others analyse the emotional trajectory of a single character, and still others focus on a given emotional expression (e.g., sighing or crying). Some bring modern methodologies for studying emotion to bear on Hamlet, others explore how Hamlet anticipates modern discourses on emotion, and still others ask how Hamlet itself can complicate and contribute to our current understanding of emotion.
Download or read book The Swan Diptych written by Ian Thomson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Swan Diptych A diptych is a painting or carving (often an altarpiece) on two panels, hinged like a book. The two stories in The Swan Diptych are likewise hinged, sometimes obviously, sometimes more subtly. Both depict the consequences of the folly and overweening pride of those who are clothed in 'a little brief authority'. In the year 1387, King Richard II visits the thriving cathedral city of Lincoln and presents a ceremonial sword to the Mayor. There is a local legend that if the swans ever leave the pool at the foot of the steep hill where the cathedral stands, the building will fall. During the celebrations the Dean believes himself to be insulted by one of the swans and vows to avenge himself. How the Dean Angered the Swans is a fable which exposes the arrogance of man and his refusal to recognise his proper place in a world which is in his custody. The Patronal Feast is set in St Stephen's College, Cambridge, in Tudor times. During the annual feast in honour of the saint's name, members of the college are permitted to eat roast swan by an edict of Richard II called the King's Writ, which is read out as the dish is served. Before the night is over, a macabre ritual murder is discovered, the Writ has disappeared, and a kitchen boy has been abducted. Paolo Giovio, internationally renowned scholar, and friend of Erasmus, is sent for. He uncovers a dark train of events, involving men of power and high station. This is a tale of ambition and betrayal over three turbulent decades. Ian Thomson is the author of The Mouse Triptych. He was educated at Downing College, Cambridge and lives in Lincoln.

Book Synopsis The Sound of Loneliness by : Craig Wallwork
Download or read book The Sound of Loneliness written by Craig Wallwork and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2012-12-31 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manchester in 1991 is a town suffering under the weight of high unemployment and massive government budgetary deficits that is plunging the UK into a recession. To Daniel Crabtree, a struggling writer, it is the backcloth to his first novel, one that will see him become a famous published author. Living off mostly water and flour, Daniel has embraced penury into his life under the mistaken belief that many young artists have: one needs to suffer for success in art. But Daniel is a terrible writer. In the three years since signing on the dole, of every morning chastising his Irish singing neighbour for waking him from his sleep, and scrounging food from his close friend Henry Soperton, Daniel Crabtree has produced one short story. His heart is bereft of words as much as his pockets are of money. It is a story of love, and how a poor starving man chasing a dream came to the understanding that amidst the clamour of life, the sound of loneliness is the most deafening of all.

Download or read book Humanist Geography written by Yi-fu Tuan and published by George F Thompson. This book was released on 2012 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than fifty years, Yi-Fu Tuan has carried the study of humanistic geography—what John K. Wright early in the twentieth century called geosophy, a blending of geography and philosophy—to new heights, offering with each new book a fresh and often unique intellectual introspection into the human condition. His latest book, Humanist Geography, is a testament of all that he has learned and encountered as a geographer. In returning to and reappraising his previous books, Tuan emphasizes how the study of humanist geography can offer a younger generation of students, scholars, and teachers a path toward self-discovery, personal fulfillment, and even enlightenment. He argues that in the study of place can be found the wonders of the human mind and imagination, especially as understood by the senses, even as we human beings deal with nature's stringencies and our own deep flaws.
Download or read book Anthropocentrism written by Rob Boddice and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2011-07-14 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropocentrism is a charge of human chauvinism and an acknowledgement of human ontological boundaries. Anthropocentrism has provided order and structure to humans’ understanding of the world, while unavoidably expressing the limits of that understanding. This collection explores the assumptions behind the label ‘anthropocentrism’, critically enquiring into the meaning of ‘human’. It addresses the epistemological and ontological problems of charges of anthropocentrism, questioning whether all human views are inherently anthropocentric. In addition, it examines the potential scope for objective, empathetic, relational, or ‘other’ views that trump anthropocentrism. With a principal focus on ethical questions concerning animals, the environment and the social, the essays ultimately cohere around the question of the non-human, be it animal, ecosystem, god, or machine.

Book Synopsis The Sleep of the Righteous by : Wolfgang Hilbig
Download or read book The Sleep of the Righteous written by Wolfgang Hilbig and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doppelgängers, a murderer's guilt, pulp noir, fanatical police, and impossible romances--these are the pieces from which German master Wolfgang Hilbig builds a divided nation battling its demons. Delving deep into the psyches of both East and West Germany, The Sleep of the Righteous reveals a powerful, apocalyptic account of the century-defining nation's trajectory from 1945 to 1989. From a youth in a war-scarred industrial town to wearying labor as a factory stoker, surreal confrontations with the Stasi, and, finally, a conflicted escape to the West, Hilbig creates a cipher that is at once himself and so many of his fellow Germans. Evoking the eerie bleakness of films like Tarkovsky's Stalker and The Lives of Others, this titan of German letters combines the Romanticism of Poe with the absurdity of Kafka to create a visionary, somber statement on the ravages of history and the promises of the future.
