  This is a concise summary and analysis of Erotic Vagrancy, by Roger Lewis. It is not the original book and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Roger Lewis. Ideal for those seeking a quick and insightful overview.
   
  Erotic Vagrancy is an irreverent, provocative, and darkly comic journey through the underbelly of desire, culture, and obsession. Blending memoir, literary critique, and wild philosophical digressions, the book explores eccentric lives, scandalous histories, and the thin line between genius and madness. With sharp wit and unapologetic candor, it dives into the absurdities of fame, the grotesque allure of certain personalities, and the unfiltered passions that shape both art and life. It’s a work that defies categorization—part satire, part cultural autopsy, and wholly unrestrained.

  The Shield of Heracles

  The Shield of Heracles is an archaic Greek epic poem that was attributed to Hesiod during antiquity. The subject of the poem is the expedition of Heracles and Iolaus against Cycnus, the son of Ares, who challenged Heracles to combat as Heracles was passing through Thessaly.It has been suggested that this epic may reflect anti-Thessalian feeling after the First Sacred War (595–585 BCE): in the epic, a Thessalian hero interfering with the Phocian sanctuary is killed by a Boeotian hero (Heracles), whose mortal father Amphitryon had for allies Locrians and Phocians. This was a pastiche made to be sung at a Boeotian festival at midsummer at the hottest time of the dogstar Sirios.To serve as an introduction, fifty-six lines have been taken from the Hesiodic Catalogue of Women. The late 3rd- and early 2nd-century BCE critic Aristophanes of Byzantium, who considered the Catalogue to be the work of Hesiod, noted the borrowing, which led him to suspect that the Shield was spurious.

  In this beautifully illustrated book, beekeeper's daughter and student of folklore Eimear Chaomhánach weaves folktales about bees with memories of growing up in a beekeeping household, collecting swarms with her father and learning how to harvest honey.

  In the 200 years since Blake's death, the visionary artist, poet, and writer has become a household name, often beloved. Yet many struggle to comprehend his kaleidoscopic ideas; how they speak to human longings and the challenges of living in anxious times.Philosopher and psychotherapist Mark Vernon provides a fresh route into Blake, taking him at his word. Exploring this brilliant thinker's passionate writings, arresting artworks, and fascinating life, Vernon illuminates Blake's vivid worldview. Like us, he lived in a tumultuous era of war, discontent, rapid technological change, and human estrangement from nature. He exposed the dark sides of political fervor and social moralizing, while unashamedly celebrating love and liberty. But he also conversed with prophets and angels, and was powerfully, if unconventionally, religious. If we take this seriously—not easy, in secular times—then Blake can help us to unlock the transformative power of imagination.Written for both longstanding fans and those unfamiliar with his work, Awake! reveals Blake as an invigorating and hopeful guide for our modern age.
