Sinopse

In 'William Blake,' Algernon Charles Swinburne embarks on an incisive examination of one of English literature's most enigmatic figures. The book marries rich poetry with fervent prose, reflecting Swinburne's admiration for Blake's innovative spirit and unique artistic philosophy. Swinburne's literary style oscillates between lyrical reverence and analytical rigor, as he delves into Blake's themes of visionary mysticism, social critique, and the tension between imagination and reality. Set against the backdrop of the Romantic era, this work invites readers to explore Blake's complex persona while considering the socio-political influences of his time. Algernon Charles Swinburne, a Victorian poet known for his groundbreaking use of meter and a fervent embrace of aestheticism, was profoundly influenced by Blake's revolutionary spirit. Struggling with his own identity within the rigid confines of Victorian society, Swinburne's fascination with Blake'Äôs counter-cultural stance and his use of myth and allegory reflects a deep desire to challenge conventional norms. This biography emerges from Swinburne's own quest for artistic autonomy and an understanding of the imaginative power that Blake epitomizes. 'William Blake' is highly recommended for scholars, poets, and anyone intrigued by the interplay of art and rebellion. Swinburne'Äôs profound insight and passionate advocacy for Blake not only illuminate the life of the poet-artist but also encourage readers to engage with the broader implications of creativity and imagination in their own lives. This book is essential for those wishing to understand the roots of modern poetic discourse.

    Serial killer H. H. Holmes built his murder castle in Chicago, but he met the hangman in Philadelphia. Al Capone served his first prison sentence here. America's first bank robbery was pulled off here in 1798. The country's first kidnapping for ransom came off without a hitch in 1874. A South Philadelphia man hatched the largest mass murder plot in US history in the 1930s. His partners in crime were unhappy housewives. Civil rights hero Octavius V. Catto was gunned down on South Street in 1871. 
     
     
     
    Take a walk with us through city history. Would you pass Eastern State Penitentiary on April 3, 1945, just as famed bank robber Willie Sutton popped out of an escape tunnel in broad daylight? Or you might have been one of the invited guests at H. H. Holmes's hanging at Moyamensing Prison on a gray morning in May 1896. It still ranks as one of the most bizarre executions in city history. Or, if you walked down Washington Lane on July 1, 1874, would you have been alert enough to stop the two men who lured little blond Charley Ross away with candy? You might have stopped America's first kidnapping for ransom, the one that gave rise to the admonition, "Never take candy from a stranger." The case inspired the Leopold and Loeb kidnapping. 
     
     
     
    Mix in murderous maids, bumbling burglars, and unflinching local heroes and you have True Crime Philadelphia.

    [T]he drama opens in Revelation the same as in “the Book of the Dead,” with “the resurrection and the glory” of the coming Son. “Behold He cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see Him.” It is the risen Lord of Resurrection who says: “I was dead, and behold I am alive evermore, and I have the keys of death and of hades” (Ch. i 18). This is Horus of the resurrection risen from Amenta in his triumph over death and hell or Sut and Akar. He proclaims himself to he the all-one, Har-Sum-taui-Neb-Uâ. Jesus, like Horus, is the “faithful witness” for the Father… –from “Egyptian Wisdom in the Revelation of John the Divine” It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a “hidden history” of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World–first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar–redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs.

    This program includes a bonus conversation between the author and editor.Volodymyr Zelensky captivated the world when his country was invaded by Russia in February 2022. His appearances were accompanied by countless inspiring statements. But there's a single one that informs Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky: "We are all simple people."Jessie Kanzer sees Zelensky as a Spiritual Leader for Our Times. As a native Russian speaker (like Zelensky himself), she picks up on the deep philosophical ramifications behind his words. Rich and yet easily understood, the life lessons in Unlocking Your Inner Zelensky are accessible and wise, and are more about starting where you are than about war.Kanzer herself has a bit part in Zelensky's life story, acting in one of his movies filmed in the States. She's a self-described "spiritual nerd" who followed Zelensky long before he stood before a blue and yellow backdrop on the national stage. She writes, "What is so incredible about our man Volodymyr is that his belief in himself stems not from seeing himself as special, but from seeing himself as ordinary and from knowing there is great power in this ordinariness."A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press Essentials.
