Sinopsis

Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Malik Ibn Tufayl's 'The Awakening of the Soul' stands as an intellectual landmark at the intersection of philosophy, spirituality, and literature. Rendered within its pages is a profound philosophical narrative exploring the self-taught man's ascent to the ultimate truth without society's constraints—an allegory of human potential and intellectual enlightenment. This contemplative novel resonates with Sufi mysticism and Neo-Platonic thought, as it addresses themes such as isolation, learning, and the connection between the soul and the divine, all articulated through a literary style that harmonizes narrative with philosophical discourse, indicative of its Andalusian-Islamic heritage. DigiCat Publishing's meticulous reproduction honors the text as a pivotal cultural heritage for modern audiences to engage with its enduring questions. Ibn Tufayl, a polymath of the 12th-century Andalusian world, infused his single, surviving work with the breadth of his erudition. Trained in medicine, astronomy, and philosophy, his scholarly pursuits clearly influenced this philosophical treatise, as did his role at the court of Marrakech, where his proximity to the political and intellectual elite undoubtedly shaped his insights into human nature and the pursuit of knowledge. 'The Awakening of the Soul' is not only a reflection of Ibn Tufayl's storied life but also an invitation to readers to embark on their own journey of intellectual discovery. Scholars, students, and lay readers with an interest in the philosophical traditions and literatures of the Islamic Golden Age will find 'The Awakening of the Soul' an essential read. Its timeless exploration of existential queries and the human condition transcends its historical context. DigiCat's dedication to preserving and sharing this work ensures that Ibn Tufayl's philosophical legacy continues to inspire and challenge contemporary readers in their quest for understanding the nature of the self and the wider universe.

Everybody knows about the transatlantic slave trade. A century before Britain became involved in this terrible business, whole villages and towns in England, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and other European countries were being depopulated by slavers, who transported the men, women, and children to Africa where they were sold. This is the forgotten slave trade; one which saw over a million Christians forced into captivity in the Muslim world. 
 
 
 
Starting with the practice of slavery in the ancient world, Simon Webb traces the history of slavery in Europe, showing that the numbers involved were vast and that the victims were often treated far more cruelly than black slaves in America and the Caribbean. Castration, used very occasionally against black slaves taken across the Atlantic, was routinely carried out on an industrial scale on European boys who were exported to Africa and the Middle East. Most people are aware that the English city of Bristol was a major center for the transatlantic slave trade in the eighteenth century, but hardly anyone knows that 1,000 years earlier it had been an important staging-post for the transfer of English slaves to Africa. 
 
 
 
This book will forever change how you view the slave trade and show that many commonly held beliefs about this controversial subject are almost wholly inaccurate and mistaken.

A Thousand Ways to Pay Attention...

It should have been Rebecca Schiller's dream come true: moving her young family to the English countryside to raise goats and coax their own fruit and vegetables from the land. But, as she writes: The summer of striding out toward a life of open fields and sacks of corn, I brought a confused black hole of something pernicious but not yet acknowledged along for the ride. 
 
 
 
Rebecca's health begins to crumble, with bewildering symptoms: frequent falls, uncontrollable rages, and mysterious lapses in memory. As she fights to be seen by specialists, her fledgling homestead—and her family—hang by increasingly tenuous threads. And when her diagnosis finally comes, it is utterly unexpected: severe ADHD. 
 
 
 
In her scramble for answers, Rebecca's consciousness alternately sears with pinpoint focus and spirals with connections. Childhood memories resurface with new meaning, and her daily life entwines with the history of women who tended this land before her. Her family weathers their growing pains where generations of acorns have fallen to rise again as trees, where ancient wolves and lynx once stalked the shadows. Written in unsparing, luminous prose, this is an all-absorbing memoir of one woman's newfound neurodivergence—and a clarion call to overturn the narrative that says minds are either normal and good or different and broken.
