Summary

In "Reveries over Childhood and Youth," W. B. Yeats intricately explores the interplay of memory, identity, and the inexorable passage of time, reflecting on the formative experiences of his early years. The text is imbued with a lyrical quality, rich in metaphor and emotional resonance, merging autobiographical elements with broader philosophical musings. Yeats deftly weaves together personal anecdotes and reflections on artistic inspiration, situating his recollections within the context of early 20th-century Ireland, a time marked by cultural renaissance and political upheaval. W. B. Yeats, celebrated for his pivotal role in the Irish Literary Revival, drew on his own childhood experiences and Irish folklore to inform his prolific body of work. His upbringing in a family steeped in artistic pursuit and intellectual discourse has profoundly shaped his reflective style. The complexities of his youthful experiences, combined with his quest for spiritual and artistic truth, underscore the thematic richness of this autobiographical work, making it both personal and universal. "Reveries over Childhood and Youth" is not merely a memoir but a poetic exploration of the foundational moments of life that shape our understanding of the world. Readers interested in the intersections of identity, nostalgia, and the artistic process will find Yeats' reflections both illuminating and deeply relatable, rendering this work a significant contribution to modern autobiographical literature.

    Giulia Farnese, a woman who traverses time to find, in this novel, her redemption. 
Her real story is tachat of a woman who goes far beyond the figure of Sponsa Christi as she was known throughout the world. 
The writer traces the profile of a strong woman who, once free from the trammels of a family that raised her to be obedient, rises from her ashes and the damnatio memoriæ to become the mater and the domina of the feud of Carbognano. 
With an absorbing prose, and based on an historical plot of true events, the author gives back to La Bella the dignity that historical documentation has always overlooked, preferring to chase after fifth century gossip.

    "As a major fan and promoter of Julian of Norwich, whom I call 'my favorite mystic', it is genuinely exciting to find such a faithful but freeing translation of Julian's long-lost Showings. Now they are no longer lost—for anyone!" —Fr. Richard Rohr, O.F.M., Center for Action and ContemplationIn this contemporary translation of one of the most beloved and influential mystical texts of all time, Julian of Norwich: The Showings brings the message and spirituality of this 14th-century mystic to 21st-century readers. Revelations of Divine Love, the first book published in English attributed to a woman, is also included.Julian of Norwich, a contemporary of Geoffrey Chaucer, was an English anchoress in East Anglia. At the age of 30, suffering from a severe illness and believing she was on her deathbed, Julian had a series of intense visions of Jesus, which she recorded and then expanded on later in her life. In her visions, God was not angry and wrathful. Instead, the three properties of God were presented as life, love, and light, and all of His creation was good, including his servant, man. In Julian's version, man is not to blame for his sin; sin is something that he must experience and overcome in his spiritual journey with God.Her message for today's readers is simply this:She reveals the feminine face of the Divine and reminds us to see God there.All our failings are an opportunity to learn and grow; they should be honored, but not dwelled upon.God's love has nothing to do with love and retribution and everything to do with love and compassion.In spite of all appearances, all is well. This book contains some of the most profound spiritual writing ever written and remains a perennial favorite among Christians.This book was previously published as The Showings of Julian of Norwich. This new edition includes a foreword by Richard Rohr, author of Falling Upwards.

    A memoir about zookeeping, and what animals taught me about feminism. 
 
In the early 1980s, when Erna Walraven decided to follow her dreams and become one of the first female zookeepers in Australia, she thought her biggest challenges would be feeding big cats and subduing irate gorillas. In fact, it was her male colleagues who made work miserable, harassing and humiliating her for doing a 'man's job'. So, she looked to the animals under her care to prove them wrong. 
 
Despite what Erna's colleagues seemed to think, the females of the animal world were far from weak and demure. Elephant matriarchs led their herds; female bonobos revelled in sexual exploration; emu mothers abandoned their chicks to the care of their fathers. Her colleagues wouldn't dare tell a female tiger that hunting was a 'male's job' - why were they so intent on limiting Erna? 
 
In this insightful and delightful book, Erna blends memoir and pop science to tell a fiercely female story. She recounts a life spent caring for animals in a fast transforming industry, and dives into scientific evidence and evolutionary history to debunk the myths that once held her back.
