    Unlock the more straightforward side of The Master and Margarita with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov, which is widely considered to the author's masterpiece and one of the finest novels of the 20th century. Through three interwoven narrative strands, namely Pontius Pilate's persecution of the man who would later be known as Jesus Christ, a love story set in Moscow in the 1930s and the Devil's visit to that city, the novel delivers biting satire and explores weighty themes such as the interplay between good and evil and the importance of spiritual and intellectual freedom. Due to pervasive censorship in the Soviet Union, the novel was not published until almost 30 years after its author's death, and is now the work on which his reputation rests. Indeed, although Bulgakov died in poverty and obscurity, his writing now enjoys popular and critical acclaim around the world.Find out everything you need to know about The Master and Margarita in a fraction of the time!This in-depth and informative reading guide brings you:• A complete plot summary• Character studies• Key themes and symbols• Questions for further reflectionWhy choose BrightSummaries.com?Available in print and digital format, our publications are designed to accompany you on your reading journey.

  • Inconvenient Apocalypse An - Environmental Collapse Climate Crisis and the Fate of Humanity - cover

    Inconvenient Apocalypse An -...

    For decades, our world has understood that we are on the brink of an apocalypse—yet the only implemented solutions have been small and convenient, feel-good initiatives that avoid unpleasant truths about the root causes of our impending disaster. Wes Jackson and Robert Jensen argue that we must reconsider the origins of the consumption crisis and the challenges we face in creating a survivable future. Longstanding assumptions about economic growth and technological progress—the dream of a future of endless bounty—are no longer tenable. The climate crisis has already progressed beyond nondisruptive solutions. The end result will be apocalyptic; the only question now is how bad it will be. 
 
 
 
Jackson and Jensen examine how geographic determinism shaped our past and led to today's social injustice, consumerist culture, and high-energy/high-technology dystopias. The solution requires addressing today's systemic failures and confronting human nature by recognizing the limits of our ability to predict how those failures will play out over time. Though these massive challenges can feel overwhelming, the coauthors weave a secular reading of theological concepts—the prophetic, the apocalyptic, a saving remnant, and grace—to chart a realistic path for humanity not only to survive our apocalypse but also to emerge with a renewed appreciation of the larger living world.

Ancient and mysterious. Powerful and deadly. All-knowing and generous. The Gods of Egypt were many things. 
 
They originated many thousands of years ago in a land far away from Egypt. Over time they evolved, changed, adapted and grew in mystery. 
 
Their stories are filled with great battles and vengeance. Of cycles of nature and the balance of the very universe. Their tales a real game of thrones. 
 
From the gods of the underworld such as Osiris and Anubis, to the gods of light such as Amun-Ra and Horus, the lives and actions of the Gods of Ancient Egypt explain our very existence and our place in the universe. The mysteries of all that is and ever shall be were explored in their lives. 
 
Isis immaculately conceived the son of God. Horus and Set did battle again and again as light and dark. Maat was the fundamental order of the universe itself. Ra was the rising sun. Osiris was God of the underworld. Thoth created writing, science and more. All of this as a mirror to the observable world and even more to explain that which cannot be observed. 
 
Their influence has travelled across continents and across time. Our own so-called religions are full of them under different names. 
 
This is the fascinating story of the Real Gods of Egypt.

    In his twenties, Ed Garland came close to suicide but later discovered reading to help him cope with hearing loss and tinnitus. In this unique blend of memoir and literary criticism, right at the cutting edge of research drawing on both the literary and the medical worlds, the author reveals his own journey – through music then fiction – towards an understanding of sonic loss and, ultimately, towards healing. A genre-busting mix of literary criticism, sound studies and memoir, the essays explore what fictional sonic experiences can tell us about sound in everyday life. Written with humorous honesty about the ups and downs – mostly downs – of a young man's mental health, this is a thoughtful and original exploration of recovey, and of literature's ability to challenge preconceptions.
The English-language fiction classics of Wales explored include the work of Margiad Evans, Bernice Rubens, and Deborah Kay Davies. The international titles are by Annie Proulx and Samuel Beckett. Earwitness amplifies the rich connections between literature, auditory perception and mental wellbeing.

    Blame Changer by psychologist Carmel O'Brien, former head of Clinical Services at Victoria's Doncare, provides straight forward answers to common questions and aims to debunk pervasive myths around what Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull last year called "one of Australia's greatest shames" domestic violence. But Blame Changer is much more than the definitive rebuttal of some of society's most damaging, ill-informed and pervasive attitudes about domestic violence. It sounds a clarion call for a change in the way we talk - at the dinner table, on social media and in national conversation at the highest levels - about women and the violence they experience. What's more, it's also a practical guide that will help victims of abuse: Blame Changer also shows friends and family how to help a victim of abuse and challenges how the Family Court system responds to allegations of abuse. This is the definitive guide to domestic violence in Australia, by a woman who has worked with countless victims over many years.
