Book Description

This is it. There’s no better time than now. You’ve heard the whispers – perhaps the screams – of a life trapped somewhere between conditioning and resistance. In Your Vivid Life: An Invitation to Live A Radically Authentic Life, Shayne Traviss - Student of Life and Founder of VividLife(dot)me a global platform for personal development (that’s reached millions around the globe) - shares his personal trials and triumphs while giving palpable advice on what worked for him, and what didn’t, in hopes of helping you find your way. Split into 3 parts (Undoing Conditioning, Breaking Through Resistance and Radical Authenticity), each part containing 4 chapters (including practices, tools, and techniques). Through solitude, awareness, worth and environment he mirrors our conditioning; in connections, evolution, nourishment and play the path of least resistance; and through service, gratitude, movement and unconditional love, the path to a radically authentic life. Every section, every chapter, every word, an invitation to birth your truest self. Your life is speaking. It’s time you listen up. And this is your opportunity. Your Vivid Life is a warm, inspirational self-help book that invites us to let go of conditioning, break through resistance and to live life ‘all in’. Join Shayne as he leads you to a place where you can authentically live the most vivid life possible. Shayne Traviss has led an extremely challenging life; from abuse and bullying, to loss, and chasing an ideal of success that wasn’t the healthiest. He struggled to find himself and his place in the world. While life’s challenges can shut some people down, Shayne channeled his experiences into learning more about himself and to integrating these lessons into creating a Vivid Life.

Book Description

From acclaimed historians Frances and Joseph Gies comes the reissue of their classic book on day-to-day life in medieval cities, which was a source for George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones series. Evoking every aspect of city life in the Middle Ages, Life in a Medieval City depicts in detail what it was like to live in a prosperous city of Northwest Europe in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The year is 1250 CE and the city is Troyes, capital of the county of Champagne and site of two of the cycle Champagne Fairs—the “Hot Fair” in August and the “Cold Fair” in December. European civilization has emerged from the Dark Ages and is in the midst of a commercial revolution. Merchants and money men from all over Europe gather at Troyes to buy, sell, borrow, and lend, creating a bustling market center typical of the feudal era. As the Gieses take us through the day-to-day life of burghers, we learn the customs and habits of lords and serfs, how financial transactions were conducted, how medieval cities were governed, and what life was really like for a wide range of people. For serious students of the medieval era and anyone wishing to learn more about this fascinating period, Life in a Medieval City remains a timeless work of popular medieval scholarship.

Book Description

The story that you have asked me to tell you does not begin with the pitiful ugliness of Lloyd’s death. It begins on a long-ago day in August when the sun seared my blistered face and I was nine years old and my father and mother sold me to a strange man. Memory, the narrator of Petina Gappah’s The Book of Memory, is an albino woman languishing in Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison in Harare, Zimbabwe, after being sentenced for murder. As part of her appeal, her lawyer insists that she write down what happened as she remembers it. The death penalty is a mandatory sentence for murder, and Memory is, both literally and metaphorically, writing for her life. As her story unfolds, Memory reveals that she has been tried and convicted for the murder of Lloyd Hendricks, her adopted father. But who was Lloyd Hendricks? Why does Memory feel no remorse for his death? And did everything happen exactly as she remembers? Moving between the townships of the poor and the suburbs of the rich, and between past and present, the 2009 Guardian First Book Award–winning writer Petina Gappah weaves a compelling tale of love, obsession, the relentlessness of fate, and the treachery of memory.

Book Description

This book is a radical re-appraisal of the poetry of Ted Hughes, placing him in the context of continental theorists such as Jacques Lacan, Jacques Derrida and Slavoj Zizek to address the traumas of his work. As an undergraduate, Hughes was visited in his sleep by a burnt fox/man who left a bloody handprint on his essay, warning him of the dangers of literary criticism. Hereafter, criticism became ‘burning the foxes’. This book offers a defence of literary criticism, drawing Hughes’ poetry and prose into the network of theoretical work he dismissed as ‘the tyrant’s whisper’ by demonstrating a shared concern with trauma. Covering a wide range of Hughes’ work, it explores the various traumas that define his writing. Whether it is comparing his idea of man as split from nature with that of Jacques Lacan, considering his challenging relationship with language in light of Roland Barthes and Jacques Derrida, seeing him in the art gallery and at the movies with Gilles Deleuze, or considering his troubled relationship with femininity in regard to Teresa Brennan and Slavoj Žižek, Burning the Foxes offers a fresh look at a familiar poet.
