Sinopse

"Veil Between" explores humanity's enduring fascination with death and the afterlife, examining how diverse cultures envision the boundary between the living and the dead. By analyzing myths, folklore, and literature, the book reveals how societies use these narratives to reflect their deepest beliefs, fears, and hopes about mortality. Did you know that some cultures view death not as an end, but as a transition to another form of existence? Or that ancestral veneration plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between the spirit world and the world of the living? The book progresses systematically, beginning with core concepts related to death and the spirit world, then delving into specific cultural traditions like ancient Egyptian beliefs and Celtic folklore. Through cross-cultural analysis, "Veil Between" identifies common human themes and highlights unique cultural expressions, offering insights into societal values and collective anxieties surrounding death. This exploration of cultural traditions provides a lens through which readers can appreciate the nuances of these beliefs.

    'Brave and deeply considered… Her experience, and Transsexual Apostate, shouldn't be dismissed' The Telegraph
    In a compelling first-hand account of what it means to be a transwoman – and where she feels the impulse comes from – Hayton explains why much of gender identity ideology is, in her view, false and damaging. Once a prominent member of the TUC LGBT+ committee, she charts how her views developed and put her at odds with the majority of trans activists. She issues a compassionate call to move beyond ideological conflicts, and to acknowledge the legitimate concerns that many have with an agenda that asserts that transwomen are women.
    Hayton's honest, humane and moving book shows that by accepting reality, transwomen can live their best lives based on the truth of who they are – rather than the fantasy of who they are not.
    'Brave, unflinching, insightful' - Professor Michael Bailey, author ofThe Man Who Would Be Queen

    One of the most powerful men who ever lived was a Holy Roman Emperor and controlled vast swathes of the planet. Quite a bit has been written over the centuries about Charles V, but even so, historical texts do not always reveal the complex personality that this man possessed. He was a man of purpose who felt destined to hold both Europe and the Christian faith together. He knew this would be no easy task, but he nevertheless threw himself into it whole-heartedly. This is the life and the story of Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire.

    Do you like stories about gods and spirits, giants and monsters, damsels in distress, and clever heroes? 
    All of these can be found in African myth and folklore, which have a vast and varied tapestry of stories from hundreds of cultures, each with its own traditions and values.  
    Sometimes the heroes of these stories are divine beings who come down from heaven to create the world we live in, but sometimes human beings and animals themselves are the ones who see to it that the sun, moon, and stars are put into their proper places.  
    Sometimes the heroes are hapless men who get into more trouble than they can handle, while others find a way out of their predicament by getting help from unlikely sources. Sometimes the heroines find themselves in mortal peril because they are not paying attention and have to be rescued by someone else, while others are forced into their predicaments by external forces that require them to be saved or save themselves.  
    However, whatever the danger and whomever the hero is, all of these stories have the ability to captivate our imaginations and keep us on the edge of our seats. 
    Here are just a few of the amazing characters you will meet in this book:a princess who gets eaten by a monster and then goes on to marry a mysterious prince who is not all he seems to bea young woman who is sacrificed to end a drought but rescued by the young man who loves her dearlya blacksmith who is given an impossible task, and the madman who helps solve the problemthe children who put the sun into the skythe fanged deer whose eyes turned into the starsthe clever lad who saves his uncle from death and outsmarts every enemy he comes across
