Sinopsis

In 'The Buke of the Order of Knyghthood,' Ramon Llull delivers a profound exploration of chivalric ideals interwoven with spiritual and philosophical insights, reflecting the tumultuous cultural milieu of the late medieval period. This intricate work is characterized by its allegorical style, drawing upon not only the tradition of courtly literature but also the scholastic thought that permeated Llull's time. The text serves as both a moral guide and an instructive treatise, presenting knighthood as a noble pursuit requiring not only martial prowess but also intellectual and ethical virtues, inviting a renaissance of noble behavior in its readers. Ramon Llull, a 13th-century Catalan philosopher, writer, and mystic, was deeply influenced by the socio-religious dynamics of his time, particularly the Crusades and the Christian-Muslim encounters. His diverse experiences, ranging from his early life of courtly pleasure to devout pastoral endeavors, catalyzed his quest to unify faith and reason. Llull's writings often echo his commitment to intercultural dialogue and ethical living, which manifest vividly in his emphasis on the moral dimensions of knighthood. Readers seeking a rich historical context entwined with timeless ethical reflections will find 'The Buke of the Order of Knyghthood' a compelling addition to their literary journey. Its relevance endures in contemporary discussions about virtue, honor, and morality within both personal and public spheres, encouraging introspection and thoughtful engagement with the principles that underpin a just society.

    How to Be a Sister - A Love...

    Eileen Garvin’s older sister, Margaret, was diagnosed with severe autism at age three. Growing up alongside Margaret wasn’t easy: Eileen often found herself in situations that were simultaneously awkward, hilarious, and heartbreaking. For example, losing a blue plastic hairbrush could leave Margaret inconsolable for hours, and a quiet Sunday Mass might provoke an outburst of laughter, swearing, or dancing. How to Be a Sister begins when Eileen, after several years in New Mexico, has just moved back to the Pacific Northwest, where she grew up. Being 1,600 miles away allowed Eileen to avoid the question that has dogged her since birth: What is she going to do about Margaret? Now, Eileen must grapple with this question once again as she tentatively tries to reconnect with Margaret. How can she have a relationship with someone who can’t drive, send an email, or use a telephone? What role will Eileen play in Margaret’s life as their parents age, and after they die? Will she remain in Margaret’s life, or will she walk away? A deeply felt, impeccably written memoir, How to Be a Sister will speak to siblings, parents, friends, and teachers of people with autism—and to anyone who sometimes struggles to connect with someone difficult or different.

    In the Mind of Stalin

    On 1 October 1939, Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty and soon to be the UK’s wartime leader, described Russia as ‘a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma’. The same can certainly be said of Stalin. How can this paradox of a man, who on the one hand had once exhibited great tenderness and kindness to his daughter Svetlana, and on the other sent millions – including members of his own family - to their deaths, be explained? 
     
    It is impossible to quantify the total number of deaths attributable to the policies of Stalin, but the ‘Excess Mortality’ (i.e., deaths over and above what would normally have been expected during the period in question) gives an approximate figure in excess of 40 million. 
     
    However, this is only part of the story of the amount of misery inflicted by the Stalin regime through torture, deliberate starvation, neglect, separation from loved ones, cold and hypothermia (e.g. in the prisons of Siberia), which is unquantifiable and unimaginable. 
     
    Svetlana confessed that she ‘would never undertake to “explain” what motivated all my father’s actions, simply because I do not possess the psychological genius of [Russian novelist] Dostoevsky, who knew how to “penetrate” into another man’s soul and “examine it from within”’.

    As a child, Elizabeth Winthrop Alsop, along with her five brothers, was raised to revere the tribal legends of the Alsop and Roosevelt families. Her parents’ marriage, lived in the spotlight of 1950s Washington where the author’s father, journalist Stewart Alsop, grew increasingly famous, was not what either of her parents had imagined it would be. Her mother’s strict Catholicism and her father’s restless ambition collided to create a strangely muted and ominous world, one that mirrored the whispered conversations in the living room as the power brokers of Washington came and went through their side door. Through it all, her mother, trained to keep secrets as a decoding agent with MI5, said very little. In this brave memoir, the author explores who her mother was, why alcohol played such an important role in her mother’s life, and why her mother held herself apart from all her children, especially her only daughter. In the author’s journey to understand her parents, particularly her mother, she comes to realize that the secrets parents keep are the ones that reverberate most powerfully in the lives of their children.
