Sinopse

John Addington Symonds' monumental work, "The Renaissance in Italy," encompasses a comprehensive seven-volume exploration of one of the most transformative periods in Western history. Rich in literary style, Symonds masterfully blends biographical sketches, critical analysis, and vivid historical narrative to elucidate the intellectual, cultural, and artistic upheavals that defined the Italian Renaissance. His erudite prose is characterized by a deep appreciation for individual artists and thinkers, bringing to life the nuanced interplay between humanism, art, and society within the socio-political milieu of 14th to 17th-century Italy. Symonds, a Victorian-era scholar and poet, was profoundly influenced by his own experiences as a researcher and art historian. His passion for Italy—fueled by extensive travels and his pioneering interest in the gay cultural history—imbued his writings with a distinct fervor and insight. Symonds faced societal constraints regarding his sexual identity, which lent a unique perspective to his assessments of Renaissance artistry and its connection to broader themes of human expression, freedom, and identity. This comprehensive treatise is an essential read for anyone interested in the Renaissance, art history, or cultural studies. Symonds' meticulous research and evocative storytelling not only illuminate the era's monumental achievements but also inspire readers to appreciate the enduring legacy of human creativity and thought.

    Great Escapes during the World...

    War has always led to prisoners. In ancient times, many were turned into slaves by the victorious armies, while in medieval Europe, they were often returned to their families in return for a ransom, leading to fortune or poverty depending upon which side one was on. By the Napoleonic era, as armies grew in size and professionalism, many were kept in camps for the duration of the fighting, their captors not wanting to restore their enemies' manpower while the fate of nations hung in the balance. 
    Prisoners were taken across the world, and prisoners of war were typically comprised of two classes: officers and other ranks. Officers were often treated well, as there was still a sort of aristocratic courtesy among officers, particularly among the Germans, British, French, and somewhat less so for the Russians, Italians, and Turks. Concepts such as honor still held considerable currency, and bravery was greatly admired. Enemy officers as a class often had more in common with each other than with the millions of draftees in their armies, so enlisted men as POWs generally were not as well treated. 
    	Regardless of rank though, throughout the war, many of these men did not sit idle. Many spent their time preparing elaborate escape plans in the hopes of returning to their home nations and back to the fight.  
    The Second World War was full of escape stories, some bold, some tragic, and most filled with courage and ingenuity. The greatest number of successful escapes was made by Allied troops in Europe, including soldiers left behind after the fall of France and airmen shot down in bombing raids, but escapes happened across the world, from Canadian trains to German castles, and from the mountains of Italy to the wilds of Australia. Axis as well as Allied troops made their bids for freedom, keeping both sides on their toes. Everybody was looking to make the next great escape.

    Mankind in Amnesia

    Immanuel Velikovsky called this book the "fulfillment of his oath of Hippocrates—to serve humanity." In this book, he returns to his roots as a psychologist and psychoanalytical therapist, yet not with a single person as his patient but with humanity as a whole. After an extremely revealing overview of the foundations of the various psychoanalytical systems he makes the step into crowd psychology and reopens the case of Worlds in Collision from a totally different point of view: as a psychoanalytical case study. This way he shows that the blatant reactions to his theories (which are still going on today) have not been surprising but are actually inevitable from a psychological perspective—which equally holds for those who have defined our view of the world. At the same time he is able to reclassify the theories of Siegmund Freud and of C. G. Jung by finding a common basis for them. A journey through history, religion, mythology and art shows the overall range of the collective trauma and gives us—the patients—a message of extraordinary urgency and importance for the future.

    How do colors make you feel? This brilliantly illustrated, delightfully fun children's book dives into the colors of the rainbow, introducing young children to not only colors but the emotions, and the FEELINGS of color. 
    Little ones learn to relate to the beauty and uniqueness of colors and how colors can define how they feel. 
    "Yellow is a bright color! It is the color of the big, beautiful sun! Bananas, lemons, sunflowers, and bees are yellow. It may make you feel warm and excited." 
    Teaching feelings to young children is imperative for their development. Also, validating their feelings and discussing them empowers children and teaches self-awareness. Making connections, enhancing vocabulary, and problem-solving are all areas in which children build self-esteem. 
    This concept has always been part of the author's philosophy, which birthed the idea of developing this book.
