Sinopse

The Guermantes Way Marcel Proust - Mark Treharne's acclaimed new translation of The Guermantes Way will introduce a new generation of American readers to the literary richness of Marcel Proust. The third volume in Penguin Classics' superb new edition of In Search of Lost Time—the first completely new translation of Proust's masterpiece since the 1920s—brings us a more comic and lucid prose than English readers have previously been able to enjoy.

After the relative intimacy of the first two volumes of In Search of Lost Time, The Guermantes Way opens up a vast, dazzling landscape of fashionable Parisian life in the late nineteenth century, as the narrator enters the brilliant, shallow world of the literary and aristocratic salons. Both a salute to and a devastating satire of a time, place, and culture, The Guermantes Way defines the great tradition of novels that follow the initiation of a young man into the ways of the world.

    What if the best ruler was the one you’d never notice? 
    In Statesman, Plato moves past the question of what law is—and asks who is truly fit to rule. Through the philosophical dialogue between Socrates’ companions and the Eleatic Stranger, we are taken on an intricate journey into political thought: the role of knowledge in leadership, the tension between law and judgment, and the rare individual capable of weaving justice into the fabric of society. 
    This modern audiobook adaptation captures the intellectual richness of Plato’s original while offering a clear and compelling experience for today’s listeners. 
    What you’ll discover inside: 
    •	The philosophical foundation of true political authority and leadership 
    •	Why Plato believes wisdom—not popularity—is the mark of the true ruler 
    •	The famous weaving analogy: blending gentleness and courage into the soul of the statesman 
    •	A clear and modern translation that reveals the relevance of Statesman to today’s world 
    Step beyond politics as usual and explore a vision of leadership guided by reason, character, and justice.

    Do you always feel the need to apologise in your relationship? Does it make you anxious? 
    Are you led to believe that you’re crazy? 
    Do you know someone who has the power to make you feel guilty, trapped and confused? 
    Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse that occurs in abusive relationships. It’s the act of manipulating a person by forcing them to question their thoughts, memories, and the events that occur around them. A victim of gaslighting can be pushed so far that they question their own sanity. 
    Gaslighting can happen in many types of relationship, including those with bosses, friends and parents; but probably the most devastating form of gaslighting is when it occurs in a relationship between a couple. 
    Have you been led to believe that you’re crazy by someone who is, in fact, crazy? 
    My clients often ask me: 
    ◆ What is it that turns people into gaslighters? 
    ◆ What is a gaslighter personality? 
    ◆ Why does a narcissist gaslight? 
    ◆ What are some common gaslighting techniques? 
    ◆ What are some steps you can take if you are being gaslighted? 
    ◆ How do you know if you are a victim of emotional abuse by gaslighting? 
    ◆ How do you deal with a gaslighter? 
    ◆ How should I respond a gaslighter’s mind games? 
    ◆ Can I get out of this nightmare? 
    ◆ How can I find myself again? 
    ◆ How can I recover after years of power games, control and manipulation? 
    The topics and concepts described in this book are functional and practical and will have a direct impact on your life, both in romantic and non-romantic relationships. You don't need to be an expert on the subject; just take a deep breath, relax that knot in your stomach and grab this book!

    Thanks to countless written sources and corroborating archaeological evidence, the chronology of the ancient Near East is fairly well-known by modern scholars, but as with most periods in history, there are exceptions. In ancient Mesopotamia’s otherwise well-documented history, there were two dynasties that historians and archaeologists are only now beginning to understand: the Sealand I, or First Sealand Dynasty (c. 1742-1460 BCE), and the Sealand II, or Second Sealand Dynasty (c. 1025-1005 BCE). These dynasties are named after the way they are referred to in ancient texts, and they likely originated in the marshy region of southern Mesopotamia. The texts mentioning these dynasties documented them as legitimate Babylonian dynasties for the most part, but few details are ever related about the dynasties or their rulers, even though both dynasties coincided with periods when there was a lack of central power in Mesopotamia and the Sealand dynasties were briefly able to assume control of the city of Babylon itself. 
    	The ephermal nature of Sealand’s rule is not completely understood by experts, to the extent that all kinds of aspects of these dynasties remain open to debate. Ancient sources provide an outline of these dynasties, as well as some information concerning major events, but the nature of the Sealand government, how the people lived, and even where their cities were located (if any existed) all remain unclear. Due to problems with sources, scholars have largely avoided the Sealand dynasties and the topic of the Sealand in general in favor of better-documented periods in Mesopotamian history. That being said, some recent archaeological discoveries have helped provide a base for future research that may solve some of these riddles.
