Beschreibung

In "The Diary of Dr. John William Polidori, 1816," the author offers a unique window into a pivotal moment in literary history, chronicling the summer of 1816 when the foundations of modern horror fiction were laid. Polidori's prose intertwines personal reflections with vivid descriptions of the mysterious gatherings at the Villa Diodati, where the legendary competition to write ghost stories amongst literary giants like Byron and Shelley took shape. Imbued with a Romantic sensibility, Polidori's writing reflects the tumultuous emotions and gothic elements that characterize early 19th-century literature, making this diary both a personal account and a backdrop to the emergence of the vampire genre, particularly foreshadowing his later work, "The Vampyre." John William Polidori was a physician and a member of the literary elite, having been Byron's personal doctor. His intimate knowledge of both medicine and literature informed his writing, as well as his relationships with some of the most influential figures of his time. The diary illuminates Polidori's struggle between duty and artistic aspiration, providing insight into his own psychological conflicts, which resonate throughout his literary contributions. This diary is a must-read for enthusiasts of Gothic literature and fans of Romantic poetry alike. It not only serves as a historical document but also as a keystone for understanding the interplay of friendship, ambition, and creativity. Readers will find themselves captivated by the atmosphere of intellectual fervor and the personal insights that paved the way for one of literature's most enduring archetypes.

    Why can't we talk about antisemitism? 
     
     
     
    As claims of antisemitism continue to distort our politics at home and abroad, it has become almost impossible to talk about constructively, even in private. Instead, we find ourselves in a storm of misinformation, political mudslinging, and bad-faith accusations. 
     
     
     
    There is, however, a way to deliberate more honestly. Looking beyond our polarizing headlines and interrogating the reasons racism takes hold, Off-White offers urgent analysis of one of the most divisive issues of our time. Taking in the contingency of whiteness, Judeo-Christian mythmaking, pro-Israel antisemitism, and the Palestinian struggle against colonialism, Rachel Shabi lights a hopeful way forward.

    Together is better, but only if you turn up and lean in. 
    High performing teams are teams in synergy - where the whole is greater than the sum 
    of its parts. 
    This is especially important for directors and leadership teams who face unprecedented 
    market dynamics. Their individual and organisational success depends on their capacity 
    to form bonds of trust that allow them to show up, have courage, welcome open dissent, 
    and explore new solutions to adaptive challenges. 
    In this book, high performance leadership coach Stephanie Bown explores team synergy 
    as the intersection between independent thinking and collective capacity with the goal 
    of amplifying the potential for great people to come together to achieve amazing things.

    The Asuka Period (538–710) marks a pivotal era in Japan’s history, serving as the transitional phase between the ancient Kofun Period and the Nara Period. This era is often considered the birthplace of Japanese civilization, a time when the political, religious, and cultural foundations of the nation began to take shape. It was during this period that Japan first came into direct contact with continental Asia, particularly through the introduction of Buddhism, the establishment of a centralized government, and the adoption of Chinese-style political and legal systems. 
    The early years of the Asuka Period were dominated by the Soga clan, who played a crucial role in the political and religious developments of the time. Their influence can be seen in their advocacy for the adoption of Buddhism, which arrived in Japan from Korea around the mid-sixth century. Buddhism’s introduction, however, was met with resistance from the powerful native Shinto religious leaders and aristocracy, creating a conflict that would shape the religious landscape of Japan for centuries to come. 
    Despite early opposition, Buddhism gradually took hold in Japan. The Soga clan, with the support of the royal family, used Buddhism as a tool to consolidate power and gain legitimacy. By the late 6th century, the religion had become deeply integrated into the fabric of Japanese society, influencing not only spiritual practices but also politics, art, and culture.
