Dreams

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "Dreams," Olive Schreiner presents a rich tapestry of symbolic and allegorical narratives that delve into the complexities of the human psyche, aspirations, and societal constraints. Written in a stream-of-consciousness style, the book is imbued with Schreiner's characteristic empathy and keen observational insight. It offers readers a profound exploration of the dreams and subconscious desires that shape individual identity, all while contextualizing these personal narratives within the broader socio-political landscape of late 19th-century South Africa. This introspective work reflects Schreiner's engagement with contemporary philosophical discourses, as she seeks to unravel the intricate interplay between personal dreams and collective reality. Olive Schreiner, an influential figure in the early feminist movement, was driven to explore the inner lives of her characters through her own experiences as a woman in a patriarchal society. Born in a missionary family in South Africa, Schreiner's literary journey was shaped by her observations of gender inequity, colonialism, and the human condition. Her profound sense of social justice and her desire for individual freedom fuel her narratives, providing a unique perspective that resonates with readers and writers alike. "Dreams" is a compelling read for those intrigued by the exploration of consciousness and the intertwining of personal and social themes. Schreiner's eloquent prose and rich characterization invite readers to reflect on their own aspirations and the social fabric that influenced them. Ideal for scholars, feminists, and lovers of psychological literature, this book promises to inspire and provoke thoughtful reflection on the nature of dreams both personal and collective.

The Holy Grail Legend

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
A cup. A chalice. A dish or platter. Even a lance or bloodline. The Holy Grail has become so many things to so many people. Over a vast period of time its story has evolved, changed, morphed, merged and even been manipulated. It has become a corner stone of Royal power or a secret so devilishly powerful that it could bring down a religion followed by over a billion people. 
 
We are told it originated with the man called Jesus Christ. That it was the chalice which caught his blood as he died upon the cross. And yet, it already existed in-order to do so. It was already held sacred and dear to those with esoteric knowledge. This is why it was used to collect the holy blood of the most holy man. 
 
Marketing and propaganda, books and movies have all become the source of the confusing idea that now surrounds the Grail. Is it a cup or is it really the truth about the bloodline of Gods only son? Are the children of Jesus and Mary now walking amongst us? No. The answer is simple. This is a blindside, a distraction, created to divert us from the real powerful truth of the Holy Grail. The real truth is much more interesting. Much more powerful. The real truth will give us all eternal life. The Legend of the Grail is one of everlasting life. It is nothing less than the quest for immortality.

Pandemonium - Power Politics and...

Jack Horgan-Jones, Hugh O'Connell

The Inside Story of Ireland's Pandemic: Every Decision, Every Player, Every Text, Every Leak
Ireland's lockdowns were among the harshest and longest in Europe. As the state was battered by waves of disease time and again, unparalleled pressures and untold tensions emerged as the country went to war with Covid, and policymakers and politicians did battle with each other.
How were the key decisions made? Who held all the power?
Boasting unrivalled access to the key decision-makers and drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews and thousands of pages of documents, including confidential and unpublished material, Pandemonium reveals the moves, the power-plays and the – at times jaw-dropping – tactics of a government with the health of a nation in its hands.
'If a movie is ever made of how Ireland responded to the Covid-19 pandemic, Pandemonium may well provide the script … You will feel as if you were in the room when key conversations happened and decisions were made.' Professor Luke O'Neill
'Illuminates the corners of institutions usually able to operate in the dark' Fintan O'Toole
'A page-turner … an exceptional insight' Matt Cooper
'Unflinching and unrelenting' Dearbhail McDonald
