Samuel Pepys

Beschreibung

The "Diary of Samuel Pepys — Complete 1660 N.S" offers an unparalleled and vivid window into 17th-century England through the eyes of one of its most astute and perceptive chroniclers. Pepys's meticulous prose blends personal reflection with historical narrative, capturing the tumultuous events of the Restoration period, including the Great Plague, the Great Fire of London, and the intricacies of court life. His distinctive style interweaves informal language with detailed observations, producing a rich tapestry of daily life that transcends mere documentation, inviting readers into his world of social, political, and cultural intrigue. Samuel Pepys (1633-1703), a naval administrator and Member of Parliament, infused his writings with acute insight and a keen sense of observation. His privileged position afforded him a front-row seat to the monumental events of his time, which ignited his desire to document not just the grand gestures of history, but the intimate details of everyday existence. This passionate engagement with his surroundings, alongside his penchant for self-reflection, makes his diary an essential resource for understanding the complexities of early modern England. This work is not simply a historical artifact; it serves as a timeless reflection on human experiences and societal change. Readers today will find Pepys's candid reflections on love, ambition, and mortality remarkably relatable. I highly recommend the "Diary of Samuel Pepys" for both history enthusiasts and casual readers alike, as it not only educates but also entertains, immersing them in the rich texture of a life fully lived.

Healing Childhood trauma 2-1...

Nancy Loyat

If you were sexually abused as a child or minor and its consequences still affect your life, read this. 
You are no longer alone. For years, I didn’t understand the source of my anger. Past and present were tangled, leaving me feeling rejected and abandoned. To find clarity, I tried several therapeutic approaches, alone and in groups. The secret buried in my memory poisoned my life. All I wanted was to feel better, but I didn’t know how. 
Years passed before I discovered the truth. My life felt like a windswept leaf—frustration and anger ruled me. It wasn’t until I hit rock bottom—overreacting to comments, without a job or money, asked to move out—that my body reminded me of the trauma I had buried: childhood sexual abuse. 
Common behaviors among victims include: 
Trust issues 
Taking care of others at their own expense 
Persistent anger or panic 
Overreacting to remarks 
Living aimlessly or trying to escape 
Inability to focus on real needs or make decisions 
Difficulty identifying priorities 
Possible post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 
Talking about such pain is difficult, yet its effects often lead to destructive behavior. Joining a support group helped me understand that victims of childhood sexual abuse are survivors. Through readings and exercises with the group, I learned to recognize my wounds and name long-repressed emotions. 
If you believe your life could be better without anger or shame, this book is for you.
