Sinopsis

In "Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus," the Roman Emperor and Stoic philosopher presents a profound exploration of ethics, virtue, and the nature of existence. Composed as a personal journal, this collection of meditations offers insights into Aurelius' thoughts during his reign from 161 to 180 CE. Written in a direct and unadorned style, the text captures the essence of Stoicism, encouraging readers to embrace rationality, self-discipline, and acceptance of fate amidst life's challenges. The work is not only a cornerstone of Stoic philosophy but also a reflection of the tumultuous times in which Aurelius ruled, deeply rooted in the historical context of political strife and personal loss. Marcus Aurelius, a Stoic philosopher trained in rhetoric and law, is considered one of the last of the Five Good Emperors. His position in Roman society and his commitment to philosophy undoubtedly influenced his reflections in this journal, blending his duties as a ruler with his philosophical inquiries. Having been shaped by various mentors and the Stoic tradition, his thoughts reveal a quest for personal integrity and wisdom in the face of adversity. I highly recommend "Thoughts of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus" for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Stoic philosophy or looking for timeless guidance on leading a virtuous life. Its enduring relevance resonates with readers navigating the complexities of modern existence, offering a path toward self-improvement and tranquility.

    An engaging work of cultural history that reveals the stories behind one of the world's most coveted and beloved ceramic. 
     
    When over seventy-five pieces of rare and intriguing seventeenth and eighteenth century Delftware are rediscovered in an historic Manhattan townhouse, decorative art advisor and writer Genevieve Wheeler Brown quickly recognizes that, together, these pieces tell an amazing story. What begins as a curatorial exercise quickly evolves not only into an exploration of this colorful, expressive, and sometimes even humorous decorative art, coveted for hundreds of years, but also an unexpected uncovering of forceful female lives yet untold.Connecting the accounts of women across centuries, Beyond Blue and White allows us to craft a more complete picture of female experience through the lens of material culture. Beyond Blue and White is a colorful celebration of an iconic decorative art and dynamic women living in extraordinary times. Wheeler-Brown's rich narrative encourages us to see beyond the dazzling cobalt glaze of Delftware to consider that these vessels are also our connection to a history with a fascinating group of women at its center.

    In this bold and exhilarating mix of memoir and master class, Melissa Febos tackles the emotional, psychological, and physical work of writing intimately while offering an utterly fresh examination of the storyteller's life and the questions which run through it. 
     
     
      
    How might we go about capturing on the page the relationships that have formed us? How do we write about our bodies, their desires and traumas? What does it mean for an author's way of writing, or living, to be dismissed as "navel-gazing"—or else hailed as "so brave, so raw"? And to whom, in the end, do our most intimate stories belong? 
     
     
      
    Drawing on her own path from aspiring writer to acclaimed author and writing professor—via addiction and recovery, sex work and academia—Melissa Febos has created a captivating guide to the writing life, and a brilliantly unusual exploration of subjectivity, privacy, and the power of divulgence. Candid and inspiring, Body Work will empower readers and writers alike, offering ideas—and occasional notes of caution—to anyone who has ever hoped to see themselves in a story.

    He gets pleased if we offer Durva grass to him. He also loves red Hibiscus flower. He is called the vighnaharta because he wards off all the obstacles in our life. He is also called vighnaraja. There are infinite names to Lord Ganesh which we cannot explain. He ties a snake around his waist. 
    The vehicle of Lord Ganesh is mouse in Hindu culture. Lord Ganesh is worshipped all over India. His miracles have been described in all of the 18 Puranas. There are many forms of Lord Ganesh.
