Synopsis

In "The Fairy Legends," Thomas Keightley delves into the enchanting world of folklore, compiling an extensive array of fairy tales and legends predominantly from the British Isles. Each tale is meticulously presented, capturing the oral tradition's charm while employing a narrative style that is both accessible and rich in detail. Keightley's work stands as a pivotal contribution to the study of folklore, reflecting the Romantic era's fascination with nature, the supernatural, and the primitive roots of human culture. This collection not only entertains but also serves as a critical document that illuminates the cultural and social fabric of the time, inviting readers to engage with the deeper meanings behind these stories. Keightley, a scholar and folklorist, was deeply influenced by the Romantic movement's emphasis on the sublime and natural beauty. His passion for mythology and history led him to explore the roots of these fairy tales, aiming to preserve the oral heritage at a time when industrialization threatened to overshadow traditional narratives. This quest for authenticity and cultural preservation is apparent in his careful selection and presentation of each legend. Readers interested in mythology, folklore, or the cultural history of Britain will find "The Fairy Legends" to be an invaluable resource. Its blend of entertainment and scholarly insight enriches the understanding of fairy tales, making it essential for both casual readers and serious students of literature.

    Learning is action - 12 November 1968 
    • Our education is concerned with the accumulation of knowledge.Very few of us are capable of living a life without the influence of specialists. 
    • What is the point of going to a university, getting a degree and disappearing into the vast structure of society? 
    • Q: How shall we approach the idea of study? 
    • If you express from something already accumulated it is a deadly bore, but if 
    you are all the time watching, not only yourself but the world, you are learning. 
    • Q: You say that a mantra is an escape. Do you think that people use drugs as an escape or because they want to become closer? 
    • When I observe myself I cannot learn if I condemn what I find. 
    • We observe through our imagination, through our image, through our knowledge.

    The thirtieth anniversary edition of one of the modern classics of the sexual revolution—with a new Afterword by the author. 
     
    How did you first learn about sex? If you grew up in the 1970s, it may have been from a gleefully lusty tour guide named Xaviera Hollander. 
     
    In the late 1960s—that era of sexual chaos, when Playboy Clubs and love-ins were competing for national attention—a beautiful, intelligent young Dutch secretary named Xaviera de Vries moved to New York, grew swiftly tired of her desk job . . . and soon became the most visible and glamorous madam the city had ever seen. As Xaviera Hollander, she published a shockingly candid account of her life behind the brothel door. The Happy Hooker shot straight to the top of the bestseller lists, sold more than fifteen million copies, and made this enterprising young woman an international phenomenon. 
     
    Thirty years later, these delightfully explicit tales of the ’60s and ’70s swingers’ scene—including countless jaw-dropping stories of lesbianism, bondage, fetishism, and more—remain as titillating as ever, charged with the mix of shrewd observation and uninhibited appetite that made Hollander an irresistible storyteller. The Happy Hooker is a classic: the world’s greatest book on the world’s oldest profession.

    The mental health crisis among young people is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. In recent years, there has been a sharp rise in the number of adolescents and young adults reporting symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. This alarming trend has caught the attention of researchers, educators, and parents alike, as they seek to understand the underlying causes and develop effective solutions. The shift from previous generations to the current one, in which mental health struggles are becoming more visible and prevalent, demands a closer examination of the factors that have contributed to this crisis. 
    Social media has played a significant role in shaping the mental health landscape for today’s youth. Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat have become an integral part of daily life, but they also introduce new pressures. Young people are constantly exposed to curated images of success, beauty, and happiness, leading to comparisons that can foster feelings of inadequacy. Cyberbullying, online harassment, and the fear of being excluded from digital circles can all contribute to mental health struggles. The pressure to constantly perform for an online audience has placed an unprecedented emotional burden on young people, and their self-worth is often tied to the number of likes, comments, and followers they have. 
    Another major factor contributing to the rise in youth depression is the shifting dynamics within families and communities. The traditional family structure has evolved, with many young people experiencing broken homes, economic hardship, or the absence of supportive role models. These changes can lead to feelings of isolation, insecurity, and hopelessness.
