The Veil of Shadows

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In the tapestry of life, where joy and sorrow intertwine, there exists a realm of shadows, a hidden world of mental anguish and despair. It is here that we embark on a poignant journey with a young woman whose life is forever altered by the devastating effects of schizophrenia.

Once a vibrant and radiant spirit, her mother's mind becomes ensnared by the insidious tendrils of this cruel illness. As a silent storm rages within her, the woman's laughter fades, her words shatter into fragments, and her eyes lose their spark, leaving behind a hollow shell of her former self.

The narrator, a young girl witnessing the steady erosion of her mother's mind, is left grappling with a profound sense of loss and isolation. The mother-daughter bond, once unbreakable, now hangs by a thread, fraying with each passing day.

Driven by unwavering love and a desperate search for answers, the narrator embarks on a quest to understand the complexities of schizophrenia. She delves into the labyrinth of medical treatments, navigating the healthcare system's challenges while seeking solace and support from others who have been touched by this devastating illness.

Through her journey, she uncovers the hidden depths of resilience and strength that lie within her own heart. She learns to accept the reality of her mother's condition, finding moments of beauty and connection amidst the darkness.

This is a story of love, loss, and the unyielding power of the human spirit. It is a testament to the enduring strength of familial bonds, even in the face of unimaginable adversity. With raw honesty and profound insight, this book sheds light on the hidden world of mental illness, offering hope and inspiration to those who have been touched by its devastating effects.

King John Henry III and...

John Paul Davis

This sweeping history of thirteenth century England examines how the successive reigns of two very different kings established the English way of life. 
 
 
 
In 1204, the great Angevin Empire was fragmenting under King John's rule. Unable to withstand France's invasion of Normandy, John also faced difficult relations with the papacy, and rising dissent among his barons. By the time John died in 1216, the failed Magna Carta gave way to civil conflict, and more than half of the country had fallen to the dauphin of France. These troubles were then passed, along with the crown, to John's nine-year-old son, Henry III. 
 
 
 
Even with a regency government commanding the ship of state, Henry faced a dire threat to his royal authority. But the First Baron's War came to an end as Henry aligned himself with the pope and offered a revised Magna Carta. While this may have ensured short-term survival, living up to the promises of this foundational contract would create a more significant challenge—and lay the groundwork for the Second Baron's War.

Meg March And The Social...

Niina Niskanen, Jen Brady

John is the underrated love interest in the Little Women canon, but he is actually really great. He is a gentleman and a wonderful father and he adores Meg. I am joined by Little Women expert, the author of March Sisters Sweet Romance Book series, Jen Brady. In Jen's book "Falling for the tutor" we get John's point of view on things. What does he think about the March family and how did he fall in love with Meg? Join us in this wonderful discussion. We shall be discussing about Meg's character. Her original inspiration is Louisa May Alcott's older sister, Anna Alcott and how Meg is the one sister, who feels most pressure from the outside world to fit in. I have received questions about Louisa May Alcott's/Jo's anger issues, and the possibility of LMA being bipolar so I will be answering those questions as well.

A Discourse Upon The Origin And...

Jean Jacques Rousseau

"A Discourse Upon the Origin and the Foundation of the Inequality Among Mankind" is a philosophical treatise by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, written in the mid-18th century. The book is a critique of social inequality and a proposal for a more just and equitable society.
In the book, Rousseau argues that the concept of inequality is not natural, but rather a product of social and political institutions. He proposes that in a hypothetical state of nature, before the development of civilization and society, humans were equal and free. However, with the emergence of societal structures such as property, laws, and government, inequality arose.
Rousseau proposes a social contract theory, where individuals voluntarily give up some of their natural freedom in exchange for protection and benefits provided by society. He argues that this social contract is the foundation of all legitimate political authority, and that the interests of the collective community (the general will) should take precedence over individual interests.
Rousseau also critiques the concept of private property, which he sees as a source of inequality and conflict, and proposes an educational system that emphasizes natural development and moral values, rather than formal education and social status.
Throughout the book, Rousseau emphasizes the importance of individual liberty and autonomy, and sees social inequality as a threat to these values. He proposes that justice requires the elimination of inequality and the establishment of a fair and equal society.
"A Discourse Upon the Origin and the Foundation of the Inequality Among Mankind" is considered one of the foundational texts of modern political philosophy and has had a significant influence on the development of political thought and social theory.
