Beschreibung

In "Selected Prose of Oscar Wilde," readers are invited into a rich tapestry of thought, characterized by Wilde's signature wit and stylistic brilliance. This collection encompasses a diverse array of genres, including essays, letters, and critiques, revealing Wilde's profound insights into aesthetics, society, and human nature. The prose exemplifies the fin-de-si√®cle literary movement, marked by a fusion of elegance and decadence, as Wilde deftly confronts moral complexities and societal conventions with a provocative yet playful tone. Oscar Wilde, a luminary of the late 19th century, is renowned not only as a playwright and poet but also as a fervent advocate for individualism and artistic expression. His tumultuous life, marked by both remarkable success and societal ostracism, profoundly influenced his literary endeavors. Wilde's experiences'Äîranging from the vibrant London literary scene to his controversial trial'Äîimbued his writing with a keen awareness of the interplay between art and ethics, making his prose both timeless and relevant. "Selected Prose of Oscar Wilde" is an essential companion for anyone seeking to understand the intricacies of human experience through the lens of one of literature's most provocative figures. This collection promises to spark reflection and appreciation, urging readers to embrace the beauty of language and the complexity of life.

    Osho explains that these sutras are concerned with aspects of man's unawareness and that Buddha's whole message is concerned with the raising of our consciousness. These sutras were compiled by Buddha's disciples to contain the essence of all his teachings. This was the last turning of the Wheel of Dharma, 2,500 years ago. At the beginning of his commentaries on these sutras, Osho says he is setting the Wheel of Dharma in motion again.
    "Buddha transformed the word  meditation . Meditation had always been something of the mind, and Buddha brought a new quality, so totally new, diametrically opposite to the old meaning: He said, meditation means a state of no mind. It is not concentration; it is not contemplation. It is not thinking; it is not thinking about God. It is not even prayer - because thinking is of the head, intellectual; prayer is emotional. That is another side of the head, not very far away from it; a different language used by another part of the head." (Osho)
    Talks are "meditating talks", allowing the listener an experience of meditation. "These words of Buddha come from eternal silence. They can reach you only if you receive them in silence."

    Hannah on Hungerstrike

    This play is about Hanna Sheehy Skeffington on hunger strike in Mountjoy. She is joined by James Connolly in Mountjoy prison. In 1913 both were in Mountjoy prison and both went on hunger strike. The people are real and of great historical importance. The events are real. The dialogue is fictitious and is the author’s attempt to simulate the issues at that time. A degree of artistic nuance has been applied to the setting. The content therefore, while based on real events and people, is not a factual historical record but just the opinion of the author.

    A Brief Manifesto on South American Identity 
    Have you ever wondered why seas around the world have names... but South America doesn't? 
    Amid forgotten maps, hushed histories and ignored identities, a disturbing question echoes through the waters of the South Atlantic. This is not just an e-book — it is an invitation to reflect on culture, memory and belonging. 
    This e-book is not intended to generalize in an attacking way, but rather to shed light on what has been hidden over the centuries — and which, in a certain way, continues to be silenced. 
    A deep analysis of the role of the sea in the formation of South American identity and integration. History, culture and politics connected by water.

    Fortress Britain 1940 -...

    Alone, unprepared, and weak. These are generally the words used to describe Britain's position in 1940, part of a narrative that has been built up ever since the end of World War II. However, the reality is very different. On land, sea, and in the air, Britain was prepared. It had the most powerful navy in the world; the RAF was relatively strong, but more importantly, was operating as part of a plan and a joined-up group system that was in reality never in any real danger of being defeated; even the post-Dunkirk British Army was better armed than the post-war narrative tells us. These forces were backed up by the Home Guard, and thousands of men and women in secret roles ready to help fight the invasion of the country. Even if all of this had gone wrong and the Nazis had defeated Britain militarily then a separate, highly secret civilian group were ready to become active only after the occupation had started. 
     
     
     
    One word associated more than any other during this period of the Second World War is 'alone'—Churchill played upon this in his speeches but in 1940, Britain had a hugely powerful empire. Although in many cases this support was thousands of miles away, the Empire and other Allies would have played a huge role had the Germans had invaded, one that has been overlooked in many accounts.
