Sinopsis

"The Divine Fire" by May Sinclair is a love story, a literary journey and a peek into the world of the book trade from many angles. Savage Keith Rickman is a talented young poet with a classical education and a cockney accent. He wants to be a gentleman yet his less chivalrous ways drive him to drink and have a fascination for a variety actress. Lucia is a beautiful young woman from a wealthy family. Her grandfather's library of rare books is worth more to her than the inheritance she stands to lose. She hires Rickman to catalog its contents.

    Watching children learn is a beautiful and extraordinary experience…. It is a kind of magic, a kind of loving, a kind of art. It is teaching. Just teaching. Just what I do. What I did. Past tense.In 2014, Gabrielle Stroud was a very dedicated teacher with over a decade of experience. Months later, she resigned in frustration and despair when she realised that the Naplan-test education model was stopping her from doing the very thing she was best at: teaching individual children according to their needs and talents. Her ground-breaking essay 'Teaching Australia' in the Feb 2016 Griffith Review outlined her experiences and provoked a huge response from former and current teachers around the world. That essay lifted the lid on a scandal that is yet to properly break - that our education system is unfair to our children and destroying their teachers. In a powerful memoir inspired by her original ground-breaking essay, Gabrielle tells the full story: how she came to teaching, what makes a great teacher, what our kids need from their teachers, and what it was that finally broke her. A brilliant and heart-breaking memoir that cuts to the heart of a vital matter of national importance.

    This is small part of introduction of the book: In the realm of spiritual leadership and global influence, few figures command as much reverence and admiration as His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso. Born in 1935 in the quaint town of Takster, Amdo, Tibet, his journey has been a tapestry woven with threads of profound wisdom, unwavering compassion, and a commitment to peace that has resonated far beyond the borders of his homeland. 
    This biography seeks to unravel the layers of the Dalai Lama's life, providing a comprehensive exploration of the man behind the title. As we embark on this literary journey, we will traverse the significant chapters of his existence — from the early years of recognition as the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama to his escape from the Chinese-occupied Tibet in 1959, which marked a pivotal turning point in his life. 
    Beyond the geopolitical landscape, we will delve into the Dalai Lama's educational pursuits, shedding light on the intellectual foundations that shaped his spiritual outlook. His commitment to learning and deepening his understanding of Buddhist philosophy has been a cornerstone of his leadership, paving the way for a spiritual journey that transcends the boundaries of tradition and embraces the universality of human experience.

    What happens when a counterculture revolution collides with a psychopath’s thirst for control? 
    America in the 1960s was a powder keg of political unrest, psychedelic exploration, and generational rebellion. In the chaos, one man manipulated the confusion and turned it into a cult of violence that shocked the world. Charles Manson Anarchy uncovers the psychological, cultural, and social factors that allowed one of America’s most infamous serial killers to thrive in plain sight—and lead others to kill in his name.

    Through meticulous research and gripping narrative, this book unpacks the psychology of Manson’s control, the allure of his twisted charisma, and the radicalized backdrop of the 1960s that made his rise possible. You’ll explore how fringe beliefs, drug culture, anti-establishment fervor, and charismatic manipulation intersected to fuel a tragic chapter in American history. 
    Inside you’ll discover: 
    A breakdown of Manson’s early life and formative traumas—and how they shaped his worldview 
    How the 1960s counterculture, music scene, and political unrest created fertile ground for manipulation

    René Karl Wilhelm Johann Josef Maria Rilke was born into a troubled marriage on the 4th December 1875 in Prague, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.  His mother, having previously lost a baby girl, would dress the young boy up in girl’s clothing.   
    Later his father dispatched him to a military academy at age 10 but after a miserable 5 years the young Rilke left due to illness and instead entered first Prague and then Munich and finally Berlin university to study art history, philosophy and literature. 
    His initial forays into literature was in poetry.  His intense, mystical and lyrical style was much admired and over time inspired many in succeeding generations.    
    His short prose collection ‘Stories of God’, written in an impassioned burst over several nights was published in 1900 and offers a beguiling view of much of Rilke’s influences and outlook.  
    The following year he married the pioneering sculptor and artist Clara Westhoff.  The union produced one child, a daughter Ruth.   
    He lived in Paris for most of the Century’s first decade where he mixed with many great minds of the time.  Although he continued to write he also worked as a secretary to the sculptor, Rodin.   
    It was only after they settled in Switzerland in 1919 that his writing output was in full flow.  Here he wrote profusely in both German and French, which included much on his previous travels, his left-wing sympathies, his religious and existential thoughts, all part of a unique and consummate style. 
    From 1923 on, Rilke increasingly struggled with his health which was now in constant decline and often spent time rehabilitating at a sanatorium.   
    Rainer Maria Rilke died of leukaemia on the 29th December 1926 in Montreux, Switzerland.  He was 51.
