The Victorian Age in Literature

G.K. Chesterton

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "The Victorian Age in Literature," G. K. Chesterton offers a sweeping and incisive examination of the literary landscape of the Victorian era, exploring the interplay between society, politics, and art. Through a series of essays, Chesterton illuminates the contributions of key figures such as George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, and the Brontë sisters, while deftly contrasting their distinct styles and ideologies. With a wit that is at once playful and piercing, Chesterton situates Victorian literature within the broader cultural trends of the time, revealing how it both shaped and reflected the complexities of an age undergoing rapid change and industrialization. As a prominent writer and literary critic, Chesterton's own experiences and philosophical inclinations profoundly influenced his perspective. His background in theology and deep appreciation for fiction provided him with a unique lens through which to assess the moral and spiritual dimensions of Victorian literature. A vocal advocate for the value of imagination and creativity, Chesterton critiques the era's materialism while championing the enduring power of storytelling. For readers seeking a deeper understanding of the Victorian literary canon, Chesterton's work is an essential companion. His vibrant prose invites both scholars and general readers alike to re-engage with classics and discover the resonances of the past in contemporary times, making this book not just a scholarly text but a celebratory homage to an influential literary age.

Zen: Zest Zip Zap and Zing - Eat...

Osho

In Zen, Zest, Zip, Zap and Zing, Osho responds to questions on love, freedom, morality, women's role in society, nostalgia, a child's right to privacy, the purpose of life, and more. Again and again he nudges the listener back to the essential: Zen – awareness, being here and now. While responding to the concerns of the questioners, Osho also illustrates how nonessential their preoccupations are.
Whenever questions are academic or "spiritual," Osho hits the questioner's head hard, dismissing such enquiries as games of the ego and even as 'holy cow dung'! Describing how centuries of political and religious slavery have repressed India, Osho lays out a blueprint for the nation to move away from the burdens of the past towards freedom.
And between the lines, he offers an invitation to live life to the full, to take its challenges head-on and with a sense of humor.

Bridging Spirit and Science -...

Martin K. Ettington

Spirit and Science are viewed as opposing views. I have lived my life in the middle of this divide. Trained as an engineer and scientist, I was taught to trust logic, mathematics, and experimental proof.  
Yet my personal experiences — from moments of prophecy to direct awareness of subtle energies — convinced me that there is more to reality than conventional science admits.  
For years I tried to keep the two worlds separate: the rational and the mystical. But over time, the boundary dissolved. I realized that both perspectives describe the same universe from different vantage points.  
My work, and this book in particular, is about restoring the unity that once existed between them. 
The purpose of this book is not to replace science with mysticism, nor to reduce spiritual experience to chemistry or neurology. Rather, it aims to show that consciousness, energy, and matter are aspects of a single integrated system.
