Sinopse

Walter Pater's "Marius the Epicurean" is a profound exploration of the philosophical and sensual dimensions of existence set against the backdrop of Ancient Rome. In this richly woven narrative, Pater employs a fluid and lyrical prose style, interspersed with vivid imagery and detailed characterizations, to delve into the life of Marius, a young man seeking pleasure, knowledge, and ultimately, truth. The dual volumes encapsulate a time when Epicureanism intersects with the rise of Christianity, presenting readers with a vibrant tapestry of conflicting ideals and the search for personal fulfillment amidst societal upheaval. Pater, a pivotal figure in the Aesthetic movement, was deeply influenced by his academic pursuits in art, literature, and philosophy. His embrace of individual experience as a path to understanding and feeling the pulse of life informs Marius's journey. The novel reflects Pater's fascination with the interplay between aesthetics and ethics, as he draws on his own interpretations of historic and philosophical themes to create a narrative rich in intellectual inquiry. Readers seeking a profound exploration of the human condition, infused with philosophical musings and the quest for aesthetic appreciation, will find Pater's "Marius the Epicurean" an essential addition to their literary repertoire. This timeless work offers not only a journey through history but also a mirror reflecting contemporary existential dilemmas.

    The Secure Soul - Finding Inner...

    A secure soul is built from the inside out. This book will guide you through the inner work of restoring your own sense of safety and trust—anchored in God's unshakable love—so that your foundation for all other connections becomes steady and strong. From this place, you can approach every relationship, every loss, and every new beginning with confidence. Even when trust has been broken externally, it can still be anchored securely within. 
    The ache of disconnection isn't only about feeling unseen by a parent, distant from a partner, or excluded by a friend. It's not just a byproduct of busy lives or too many notifications. It runs deeper. It's a spiritual ache that reminds us: we long for a connection that reaches beneath our defenses and restores us from the inside out. 
    Attachment isn't just something that happens between people—it's something that also happens within yourself. The same dynamics of fear and safety, pursuit and withdrawal, need and shame, get played out inside your own inner world. 
    When we begin to notice, tend, and nourish that inner ecosystem—gently, patiently, and in the presence of something greater than ourselves—we begin to re-cultivate something sacred: A home within ourselves. A secure base from the inside out. And a connectedness with God. 
    In The Secure Soul, Dr. Cook shows you how to:practice the ongoing rhythm of connection through learning how to recognize distance and be equipped to reconnect to the center of loving presence.recognize—the moment when you've shifted out of connection into anxiety, overwhelmedness, fear, distance, or shut down.return—to the sacred center within, to God's presence, to Love itself.identify the controller, shadow, and younger parts of yourself that make up the landscape of your soul.cultivate an inner sense of belonging and connectedness by diagnosing where you have become disconnected from your own soul. 
      
    Dr. Cook paints an intimate picture of what secure attachment can look like in your real life—not as a psychological label, but as an intimate invitation that is alive in every relationship, every silence, every longing, always unfolding in every moment you're alive. And it starts not only in the space between us, but deep inside your own soul.

    The lost memoir of Britain's first Black Olympic medal winner—and the America he discovered 
     
     
      
    After winning Olympic medals for Britain in 1920, Harry Edward (1898–1973) decided to try his luck in America. The country he found was full of thrilling opportunity and pervasive racism. 
     
     
      
    Immensely capable and energetic, Harry rubbed shoulders with kings and presidents, was influential in the revival of Black theatre during the Harlem Renaissance, and became a passionate humanitarian and advocate for child welfare. He was present at some of the twentieth century's most significant moments, worked alongside W. E. B. Du Bois and Orson Welles, and witnessed two world wars and the civil rights movement. Yet he was frustrated at almost every turn. 
     
     
      
    Toward the end of his life he set down his story, crafting this memoir of athletics and activism, race and racism on both sides of the Atlantic. His manuscript went unpublished until now. This is the deeply engaging tale of Edward's life—and a moving testament to his drive to form a better world.

    The Creole Rebellion tells the suspenseful story of a successful mutiny on board the slave ship Creole. En route for a New Orleans slave-auction block in November 1841, nineteen captives mutinied, killing one man and injuring several others. After taking control of the vessel, mutineer Madison Washington forced the crewmen to sail to the Bahamas. Despite much local hysteria upon their arrival, all of the 135 slaves aboard the ship won their freedom there. 
     
     
     
    The revolt significantly fueled and amplified the slave debate within a divided nation that was already hurtling toward a Civil War. While this is a book about the United States confronting the ugly and tumultuous issue of slavery, it is also about the 135 enslaved men and women who were unwilling to take their oppression any longer and rose up to free themselves in a bloody fight. Part history, part adventure, and part legal drama, Bruce Chadwick chronicles the most successful slave revolt in the pages of American history.

Reading and listening to its text will help you focus on what is most valuable to you, because this book contains priceless Gifts presented by the Great Mentors of Mankind, who studied the Human Race for many millions of years. Our Spiritual Masters have penetrated into the secrets of not only human souls, but of their physical flesh too, and therefore, to help people climb the steps of Evolution at a quicker pace, they turned to human hearts in particular, in which a gigantic potential is hidden. It was in the fiery heart that a spark of Divine Fire was embedded, which will help to rise the steps of Immortality; that requires that the Stamp of Illumination should mark the human heart, and it should begin to fill with currents of a higher frequency, changing the rhythm of the heart’s breathing, as well as its vibrational constants. So let this book, titled “The Illumination of the Heart”, help you not only realize that you are gods, but also find the shortest path to our Heavenly Father.
