Sinopsis

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.

    Bridget of Sweden was one of the best-travelled women of the Middle Ages. From her native Sweden, she went to Rome and later to the Holy Land.
    
     
    Luca Cesarini describes her journey, the circumstances that led to her setting out, the people she met en route, encounters with Islam, and the experience of pilgrims in the fourteenth century. The book also includes some of Bridget’s own accounts of the visions she had during her journey, not least of the nativity of Christ, which would change the depiction of the Christmas crib in Christian art for ever.
    
     
    In an accessible and entertaining way, this book describes not only Bridget’s own life and travels but also enables modern-day readers to look at popular pilgrimage destinations through the eyes of a medieval woman.

    Sikhism - The Teachings of Guru...

    Sikhism, one of the world's youngest major religions, has roots that stretch deep into the socio-political and spiritual fabric of South Asia. Founded in the late 15th century by Guru Nanak Dev Ji in the Punjab region, Sikhism emerged as a response to the spiritual needs and social injustices of the time. It champions the principles of equality, justice, and service, inviting individuals from all walks of life to join in a collective pursuit of truth and devotion to one God.  
    At its core, Sikhism is a monotheistic faith that emphasizes the importance of a personal relationship with the divine. The teachings of the ten Gurus, recorded in the Guru Granth Sahib, the sacred scripture of Sikhism, serve as a guiding light for millions around the world. This scripture not only contains hymns and poetry that extol the virtues of love, compassion, and humility but also reflects the rich cultural diversity of its origins, incorporating elements from various religious and philosophical traditions. 
    Sikhism's distinct identity is marked by its unique practices, such as the wearing of the Five Articles of Faith (the Five Ks), community kitchen (Langar), and the commitment to social justice and equality. The faith’s communal spirit, reflected in the Gurdwara—a place of worship and gathering—fosters a sense of belonging and collective responsibility among Sikhs.  
    As we delve deeper into the teachings, rituals, and historical development of Sikhism in this book, we will explore the faith's contributions to the global religious landscape and its impact on contemporary society. We will examine how Sikh values resonate in today’s world, addressing critical issues such as religious tolerance, community service, and social equity.
