Summary

In "The Inner Beauty," Maurice Maeterlinck crafts a profound exploration of the human condition through a lens that intertwines mysticism and philosophy. The work delves into the themes of perception, inner life, and the quest for deeper meaning beyond external appearances. Employing a rich, impressionistic style, Maeterlinck invites readers to embark on a reflective journey, using elegant prose that resonates with the Symbolist movement—a literary context deeply influenced by the intricate interplay between emotion and thought, often revealing the unseen beauty within the mundane aspects of life. Maurice Maeterlinck, a Belgian playwright and essayist, was at the forefront of the Symbolist movement, drawing from personal experiences and a fascination with nature and spirituality. His background in philosophy and deep engagement with questions of existence profoundly shaped his writings. This book offers a culmination of his lifelong quest to unveil the unseen layers of reality, urging readers to confront their own inner landscapes and discover beauty where it often goes unnoticed. I highly recommend "The Inner Beauty" to readers seeking to enrich their understanding of beauty as a multifaceted concept, transcending the superficial. Maeterlinck's lyrical prose and profound insights provide an essential guide for those willing to venture into the depths of their own inner worlds.

    Apologise… Hell, No! The Power of an Apology in an Entitled World is a visceral read that explores the ups and down of the apology in a world that's forgetting how to say sorry and mean it. Combining personal memoir, along with some practical advice this book is rich in its openness and evocative enough to challenge, assist and uplift you as it takes both a light-hearted and serious look at the different uses of the apology spanning stoic philosophers, Stick Man, #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, narcissism, entitlement, slavery and WW1 to name but a few. 
"A deeply personal yet systematic approach to the delicate art of apologizing." — Kirkus Reviews 
 "Unflinching honesty that has translated into something rich and evocative." — Sara Starbuck

    Darkest Christmas - December...

    December 1942 saw the bloodiest Christmas in the history of mankind. Men were killing each other in greater numbers than ever before. The Holocaust continued, and innocent civilians were murdered by the thousands throughout the evil Nazi empire, even as the perpetrators celebrated the birth of Christ. 
 
 
 
Millions stationed in far-off lands amid the greatest conflict in human history feared this was their last Christmas in freedom, or their last Christmas alive. At the same time as the slaughter continued unabated, throughout the world there were random acts of kindness. These gestures also straddled religious barriers and sometimes included those of non-Christian faiths. 
 
 
 
At the same time, Christmas 1942 saw the injunction of "good will to man" distorted in ugly and callous ways. In Berlin, Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels spent time with his family while still buried in feverish fantasies about the Jewish world conspiracy. 
 
 
 
Christmas 1942 saw the entire range of man's conduct towards his fellow man, reflecting the extremes of behavior, good and bad, that World War II gave rise to. The way the holiday was marked around the world tells a deeper, more universal story of the human condition.
