Sinossi

In "Life of Liszt," Ludwig Nohl presents an intricate tapestry of the life and genius of the famed pianist and composer Franz Liszt. Nohl combines meticulous biographical detail with a lyrical narrative style, capturing Liszt's tumultuous relationships and artistic evolution. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century European music and culture, the book marries personal anecdotes with critical insights, reflecting the complexity of Liszt's contributions to the Romantic era and his pioneering role in the development of modern piano performance and composition. Nohl's acute observations and vivid portrayals immerse the reader in the vibrant milieu that surrounded Liszt, making the text a compelling read for both musicologists and casual enthusiasts alike. Ludwig Nohl, a contemporary of Liszt, was deeply enmeshed in the music circles of his time, which afforded him unique access to the composer's life and thoughts. His background as a pianist and musicologist equipped him with the skills to critically assess Liszt's work, while his personal acquaintance with the composer provided an authentic lens through which he crafted this biography. Nohl's insights were shaped by the Romantic ideals of his era, stressing emotional depth and individual experience in art. I highly recommend "Life of Liszt" to anyone interested in understanding the confluence of personal narrative and artistic innovation in the life of one of music's most transformative figures. Nohl's work not only sheds light on Liszt's unparalleled talent but also contextualizes his legacy within the broader movements of the Romantic period, making it an essential addition to any serious music library.

    Empedocles - The Four Elements...

    Empedocles, a philosopher and poet from the ancient Greek city of Acragas (modern-day Agrigento, Sicily), lived during the 5th century BCE and is often regarded as one of the most original thinkers of his time. His life and works remain an intriguing fusion of science, mysticism, and poetry. Though much of what we know about Empedocles comes from fragments of his writings, his ideas have had a profound and lasting influence on philosophy, science, and even religion. 
      
    Empedocles is best known for his theory of the four elements—earth, air, fire, and water—which he posited as the fundamental building blocks of the universe. Unlike his predecessors, who sought to explain the world through a singular substance (such as water for Thales or air for Anaximenes), Empedocles argued that these four elements combined and separated through two cosmic forces: Love (Philia) and Strife (Neikos). Love brings the elements together, fostering harmony and unity, while Strife pulls them apart, creating division and chaos. This cyclical process of combination and separation underlies the ongoing changes in the cosmos. 
      
    In addition to his materialistic philosophy, Empedocles incorporated spiritual and mystical elements into his worldview. He believed in the transmigration of souls, suggesting that human beings and other living creatures are bound to an endless cycle of reincarnation. According to Empedocles, the soul is trapped in a cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, and it can achieve liberation through purification and virtuous living. His philosophical system thus integrated both natural and ethical concerns, urging individuals to live in harmony with the forces of the cosmos and pursue a life of virtue.

    Belonging: A Journey of Healing, Forgiving, and Manifesting Everything I Ever Desired is a soul-stirring memoir that dares to ask—what if everything you've ever needed was already within you? 
    From surviving childhood trauma and navigating abandonment to becoming a national youth leader, spiritual visionary, and respected scholar, Dr. Shawn Boone chronicles a path marked by pain, purpose, and profound awakening. Through deeply personal storytelling, he reveals how his search for belonging was never about fitting into the world—it was about remembering his place within it. 
    This is not just a story of survival. It is a sacred declaration of reclamation. In these pages, you will witness how silence becomes sound, how trauma transforms into truth, and how forgiveness becomes the ultimate portal to freedom. At the heart of this journey is the discovery of The Theory of Embodied Vision™, Parallel Actualization™, and the S.E.E.D. Framework™—a powerful process rooted in Stillness, Embodiment, Expression, and Discernment. These guiding principles help readers align with their highest self, break free from inherited patterns, and manifest a life of meaning and purpose. 
    Written with poetic vulnerability and spiritual clarity, Belonging is for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider in their own life. Whether you are healing from loss, grappling with identity, or yearning to manifest something more, this book offers a mirror for your truth—and a map back home to yourself. 
    If you've ever whispered "there must be more," this book will show you: there is. And you are it. 
    For readers of spiritual memoirs, personal development, and conscious manifestation, Belonging is both a mirror and a map.

    At a crossroads in her life, Gráinne Lyons set out to travel Ireland's west coast on foot. She set a simple intention: to walk in the footsteps of eleven pioneering Irish women deeply rooted in this coastal landscape and explore their lives and work along the way. As a Londoner born to Irish parents, she also sought answers in her own identity.
    
    
    As Gráinne heads north from Cape Clear Island where her great-grandmother was a lacemaker, she considers Ellen Hutchins, Maude Delap, Edna O'Brien, Granuaile and Queen Maeve among others from her unique perspective. Their homes – in places that are famously wild and remote – are transformed into sites of hope, purpose, opportunity and inspiration. Walking through this history, her journey reveals unexpected insight into emigrant identity, travelling alone, femininity and the trappings of an 'ideal' life. 
    
    
    Against the backdrop and power of this great ocean, Wild Atlantic Women will inspire the twenty-first-century reader and walker to keep going, regardless of the path.

    Out of The Shadow of Silence

    Out of the Shadow of Silence follows the tumultuous journey of a woman thirsting for love against a backdrop of adversity. In this epic rescue mission, God's love challenges the power of abusive behaviors and self-destruction mechanisms. We watch attentively as God's tender mercies meet each desperation with an abundance of peace. We discover the scope of His love and patience, remaining steadfast until every wound is healed and all darkness has been displaced by light. 
    Perhaps you may wonder why I have chosen to write this intro in the third person. Please allow me to explain. My name is Pastor Marilyn Marrero, and this is my story. Despite the fact that I am narrating this true account of my life, the woman you are about to meet is no longer in existence. Even as I write most of the pages of this book, she is unrecognizable to me, nothing more than a distant memory. 
    My deepest hope and prayer is that the same love that rescued me from Out of the Shadows of Silence would bring you into the marvelous light, where old things are made new, and you too can realize the beauty and freedom found in your God-given identity. 
    Let's get started!
