Summary

In "The Story of Napoleon and Blücher," L. Mühlbach delves into the intricate dynamics between two of history's most formidable military leaders during the Napoleonic Wars. Mühlbach employs a narrative style that is rich in detail and imbued with dramatic flair, vividly bringing to life the strategic encounters and personal rivalries that defined this tumultuous period. Set against the backdrop of early 19th-century Europe, the novel not only recounts historical events but also explores themes of honor, ambition, and the moral complexities of warfare, firmly situating itself within the genre of historical fiction that seeks to educate as much as entertain. L. Mühlbach, a pseudonym for the German author Luise Mühlbach, was renowned for her historical novels that ingeniously blend facts with imaginative storytelling. Her profound interest in history, particularly the Napoleonic era, stems from her background in literature and history, as well as the cultural zeitgeist of 19th-century Germany, which was captivated by the legacies of these towering figures. Mühlbach's ability to craft compelling narratives from historical events underscores her desire to elucidate the human motivations behind these grand figures. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking a nuanced portrayal of historic leaders through rich storytelling. Mühlbach's adept characterization and vivid settings make "The Story of Napoleon and Blücher" not only a captivating read but also an essential addition to the libraries of those interested in military history and the intricacies of European politics during the Napoleonic era.

Which Way Is Up? - Finding Heart...

Susan Gillis Chapman

A heartfelt guide for meeting difficult times with mindfulness, compassion, and courage—from a psychotherapist and Buddhist practitioner who learned from her own crisis. 
 
 
 
Using personal examples from her own recent bardo crisis—undergoing cancer treatment during the pandemic—and offering contemplative prompts for inner-reflection and a meditation practice in each chapter, psychotherapist and Buddhist practitioner Susan Chapman demystifies the three main types of fear people experience (frozen, awake, and core), and how to meet each with love. This heartfelt guide from someone who's been there and done the work will help us get through life's challenges and restore our equilibrium, while also inviting a valuable opportunity for personal growth. 
 
 
 
Which Way Is Up? draws from traditional Buddhist teachings on the bardo, a Tibetan word most often associated with the period between death and rebirth. Chapman likens the bardo to abrupt episodes in our lives when things seem to turn upside down and we can't find our footing. In such times of not-knowing, our fearful mind tends to panic trying to make sense out of our experience. Instead, Chapman meets the listener in their groundlessness to show how these turning points can force us to let go of our assumptions about the future and allow something new to be reborn.
