Summary

A Narrative of the expedition of Hernando de Soto is about Spanish explorer and conquistador de Soto who was involved in expeditions in Nicaragua and the Yucatan Peninsula. He played an important role in Francisco Pizarro's conquest of the Inca Empire in Peru but is best known for leading the first European expedition deep into the territory of the modern-day United States (through Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and most likely Arkansas).

    Totem and Taboo

    "Totem and Taboo" by Sigmund Freud explores the origins of human culture, religion, and morality through a psychoanalytic lens. Freud draws parallels between primitive societies and modern neuroses, examining totemism, taboos, and the Oedipus complex. He argues that primal emotions and unconscious drives shape societal structures, including laws and religious practices. By analyzing rituals, myths, and prohibitions, Freud delves into the psychological underpinnings of group identity and authority. A groundbreaking work, it bridges anthropology and psychoanalysis, offering provocative insights into the shared roots of individual and collective behavior. Though controversial, it remains a foundational text for understanding human nature.

    TANSLATED FROM THE GREEK,AND DEMONSTRATED TO BE THE Invocations which were used in the Eleusinian Mysteries.BY THOMAS TAYLOR. Taylor frames the Orphic hymns as fragments of a primordial theology in which the gods are not personalities but cosmic powers, each hymn functioning as a precise invocation of a universal principle. His translation exposes an initiatory system built on purification, cosmic sympathy, and ascent through successive layers of divine order. The work presents the hymns as operative formulas rather than poetry—concise ritual utterances designed to attune the soul to the intelligible world, reveal the structure of the cosmos, and draw the intellect away from material delusion.

    The Practice and Theory of...

    Alfred Adler

    Though psychologist Alfred Adler (1870-1937) does not have the wider recognition accorded Freud and Jung, his work and ideas had an enduring effect on the practice and development of psychotherapy in the 20th century. This collection of 28 lectures and essays, published under the title The Practice and Theory of Individual Psychology (published in 1924), brings together many of his main ideas. 
    Adler was initially best known for his interest in the inferiority complex and its effect on the personality and subsequent behaviour of individuals. But his focus became increasingly concerned with the particular observation that it was the social environment of individuals that had a more fundamental influence on behavioural patterns than over-arching theories on sex, symbolism, archetypes and the like. He has been described as the first ‘community psychologist.’ This contributed considerably to the growth of schools of psychotherapy in the second half of the 20th century and their proliferation in the 21st. In fact, one historian has commented, “It would not be easy to find another author from which so much has been borrowed on all sides without acknowledgement than Alfred Adler.’ 
    The topics covered in this collection are varied and date from the pre- and post World War I period. It opens with Individual Psychology, its Assumptions and its Results (1914) and includes Individual-Psychological Treatment of Neuroses (1913), The Study of Child Psychology and Neurosis (1913), Nervous Insomnia (1914), Compulsion Neurosis (1918), Dreams and Dream-Interpretation (1912), and Demoralized Children (1920). 
    His range is wide: Among them are essays such as Neurotic Hunger Strike and New Viewpoint of War Neuroses, both concerns that regularly feature in newspapers and public discussion today. As a contrast, he offers interesting observations on the writing of Dostoyevsky, and one particular case of the suicide of a prominent 19th century Austrian politician. 
    This recording also contains (Chapter XIV) the 1918 lecture Homo-sexuality which Adler gave to the Jurististisch-Medizinische Gesellschaft of Zurich. It represents views widely held by the society of the time, which are now unacceptable. The chapter is nevertheless included here for historical purposes.

    Find creative inspiration in this fascinating rummage through the wastebaskets, secret diaries, and abandoned files of twenty literary superstars. 
     
     
     
    If you like to write—whether it's a pastime, a passion, or a profession—you've probably found yourself reading something brilliant and thinking, "I could never do this! I might as well give up." But if there's one thing every great author has in common, it's this: they've all written some hot garbage. 
     
     
     
    Revisionaries takes you on an engrossing tour through the discarded drafts, false starts, and abandoned projects of influential writers. In the process, it dismantles some of our most deeply held—and most suffocating—ideas about what it takes to produce great creative work. You'll learn that Franz Kafka lacked confidence; Octavia Butler had writer's block blocked; F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote bad drafts; Ralph Ellison got overwhelmed; Louisa May Alcott got off to a bad start; and more deep, dark secrets about the authors you most admire. 
     
     
     
    Written by an award-winning novelist and creative-writing professor, Revisionaries is a compelling peek behind the scenes of genius for writers and readers alike.
