Sinossi

"Ballet History" explores the rich and captivating evolution of ballet, from its origins in Renaissance courts to its modern-day status as a globally celebrated art form. The book traces ballet's development through pivotal periods, such as the Romantic era, which saw the rise of the ballerina and ethereal themes, and the Ballets Russes, known for its groundbreaking choreography and design. Readers will gain insight into the rigorous training methodologies, the physiological demands placed on dancers, and the cultural values that have shaped ballet across generations. The book approaches the topic through a blend of historical narrative, technical analysis, and cultural commentary. It begins by establishing ballet's roots in 15th-century Italy and France, then examines key periods and the contributions of influential figures. Furthermore, the book considers ballet's intersection with music, costume design, and other performing arts, highlighting the collaborative nature of ballet production. It emphasizes how ballet, as a cultural touchstone, reflects societal values and the enduring human desire for self-expression through movement. Aimed at anyone interested in dance, performing arts history, or cultural history, "Ballet History" adopts a chronological framework combined with thematic analyses to offer a fresh perspective. The book also acknowledges ongoing discussions about representation, body image, and the evolving role of gender in ballet, presented with nuance.

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media. This audiobook includes both a plain narrated version and a version with accompanying music for those who prefer it. The Bardo Thodol - The Tibetan Book Of The Dead - Full Audiobook. **Please note: this is treated by some or many as a closed and secret sacred tradition within Shitro lineages, please express caution when viewing, unless one has proper Shitro initiation or is aware of the consequences of engaging with tantra sans guru.** The Bardo Thodol, commonly known in the West as The Tibetan Book of the Dead, is a terma text from a larger corpus of teachings, the Profound Dharma of Self-Liberation through the Intention of the Peaceful and Wrathful Ones, revealed by Karma Lingpa. The Tibetan text describes, and is intended to guide one through, the experiences that the consciousness has after death, in the bardo, the interval between death and the next rebirth. The text also includes chapters on the signs of death and rituals to undertake when death is closing in or has taken place. The text can be used as either an advanced practice for trained meditators or to support the uninitiated during the death experience.

    A Horse at Night - On Writing

    Amina Cain's unique wandering sensibility, her attention to the small and the surprising, finds a profound new expression in her first nonfiction book, a sustained meditation on writers and their work. Driven by primary questions of authenticity and freedom in the shadow of ecological and social collapse, Cain moves associatively through a personal canon of authors—including Marguerite Duras, Elena Ferrante, Renee Gladman, and Virginia Woolf—and topics as timely and various as female friendships, zazen meditation, neighborhood coyotes, landscape painting, book titles, and the politics of excess. A Horse at Night: On Writing is an intimate reckoning with the contemporary moment, and a quietly brilliant contribution to the lineage of Woolf's A Room of One's Own or Gass's On Being Blue, books that are virtuosic arguments for—and beautiful demonstrations of—the essential unity of writing and life.

    “Secret Chambers and Hiding Places” is a collection of concealments and their uses, almost all within England, although a very few passages and chambers in continental Europe are mentioned, Jacobite hidey holes in Scotland, while the final chapter of the book covers Bonnie Prince Charlie’s wanderings around Scotland, among caves and other hiding places. Most chapters are devoted to historical events; such as the the seventeenth century persecution of roman catholics (with many large houses having specially constructed “priests’ holes”), or various unpopular monarchs and their hiding places. The text is scattered with legends and true stories, with occasional skeletons found, still hiding, long centuries after the searchers have left. The author describes hidden doors, passages, rooms and pits with enormous enthusiasm … and with considerable regret when he has to describe secret places lost to demolition or modernisation. You’ll wish you could wander the country, poking into the darkest recesses of every old house you find! (Summary by Peter Yearsley)
