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

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.

Book Description

A rich and revelatory exploration of the medieval world, conveyed through intimate biographies by a renowned historian This engrossing, exquisitely illustrated, often witty account tells the life stories of some seventy individuals who "made" the Middle Ages. There are kings and queens, popes and politicians, soldiers and merchants, scholars, authors and visionaries. They range from the important, such as El Cid or Frederick Barbarossa, to the little known, such as the dissolute Venetian nun Clara Sanuto. Some were astonishingly successful: the empire created by Chinggis Khan was one of the most extensive ever seen. Some, such as Charles the Bold, the over-ambitious 15th–century duke of Burgundy, were failures. Contrary to modern myth, medieval people did not believe the earth was flat; torture was far less common than in later centuries; and technological advances included guns, printing, blast furnaces, spectacles, stirrups and the compass. Full of insights such as these, this book shows how medieval people lived in an era that was more one of invention and innovation than of superstition and backwardness. It will appeal to all those who want a truer picture of a world often erroneously portrayed by bestselling novelists of today.
