Ghost Stories - M. R. James - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Lorna Doone - R. D. Blackmore - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

First published in 1869, Lorna Doone is the story of John Ridd, a farmer who finds love amid the religious and social turmoil of seventeenth-century England. He is just a boy when his father is slain by the Doones, a lawless clan inhabiting wild Exmoor on the border of Somerset and Devon. Seized by curiosity and a sense of adventure, he makes his way to the valley of the Doones, where he is discovered by the beautiful Lorna. In time their childish fantasies blossom into mature love-a bond that will inspire John to rescue his beloved from the ravages of a stormy winter, rekindling a conflict with his archrival, Carver Doone, that climaxes in heartrending violence. Beloved for its portrait of star-crossed lovers and its surpassing descriptions of the English countryside, Lorna Doone is R. D. Blackmore''s enduring masterpiece.

Fear of Black Consciousness - Lewis R. Gordon - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Fear of Black Consciousness - Lewis R. Gordon - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Important . . . powerful . . . . an explanation of why Black protest is such a dangerous prospect to the white power structure'' Kehinde Andrews, Guardian Where is the path to racial justice? In this ground-breaking book, philosopher Lewis R. Gordon ranges over history, art and pop culture - from ancient African languages to the film Get Out - to show why the answer lies not just in freeing Black bodies from the fraud of white supremacy, but in freeing all of our minds. Building on the influential work of Frantz Fanon and W. E. B. Du Bois, Fear of Black Consciousness is a vital contribution to our conversations on racial politics, identity and culture. ''Expansive . . . reminds us that the ultimate aim of Black freedom quests is, indeed, universal liberation'' Angela Y. Davis

The Divided Self - R. Laing - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Divided Self - R. Laing - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Divided Self, R.D. Laing''s groundbreaking exploration of the nature of madness, illuminated the nature of mental illness and made the mysteries of the mind comprehensible to a wide audience. First published in 1960, this watershed work aimed to make madness comprehensible, and in doing so revolutionized the way we perceive mental illness. Using case studies of patients he had worked with, psychiatrist R. D. Laing argued that psychosis is not a medical condition, but an outcome of the ''divided self'', or the tension between the two personas within us: one our authentic, private identity, and the other the false, ''sane'' self that we present to the world. Laing''s radical approach to insanity offered a rich existential analysis of personal alienation and made him a cult figure in the 1960s, yet his work was most significant for its humane attitude, which put the patient back at the centre of treatment.Includes an introduction by Professor Anthony S. David.''One of the twentieth century''s most influential psychotherapists'' Guardian ''Laing challenged the psychiatric orthodoxy of his time ... an icon of the 1960s counter-culture'' The Times

The Ramayana - R. K. Narayan - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Ramayana - R. K. Narayan - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Ramayana is, quite simply, the greatest of Indian epics - and one of the world''s supreme masterpieces of storytelling ''Almost every individual living in India,'' writes R. K. Narayan in the Introduction to this new interpretation, ''is aware of the story of The Ramayana. Everyone of whatever age, outlook, education or station in life knows the essential part of the epic and adores the main figures in it - Rama and Sita. Every child is told the story at bedtime . . . The Ramayana pervades our cultural life.'' Although the Sanskrit original was composed by Valmiki, probably around the fourth century BC, poets have produced countless variant versions in different languages. Here, drawing his inspiration from the work of an eleventh-century Tamil poet called Kamban, Narayan has used the talents of a master novelist to recreate the excitement and joy he has found in the original. It can be enjoyed and appreciated, he suggests, for its psychological insight, its spiritual depth and its practical wisdom - or just as a thrilling tale of abduction, battle and courtship played out in a universe thronged with heroes, deities and demons.

The Penguin History of the Church - R. W. Southern - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The history of the Western church in the Middle Ages is the history of the most elaborate and thoroughly integrated system of religious thought and practice the world has ever known. It is also the history of European society during eight hundred years of sometimes rapid change. This authoritative history shows how the concept of an organized human society, both religious and secular, as an expression of a divinely ordered universe, was central to medieval thought. Professor R. W. Southern’s book covers the period from the eighth to the sixteenth century, highlighting the main features of each medieval age and studying the Papacy, the relations between Rome and her rival Constantinople, the bishops and archbishops and the various religious orders in detail, providing a superb study of the period.

The Irish Story - R. F. Foster - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Irish Story - R. F. Foster - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

R.F. Foster''s The Irish Story: Telling Tales and Making it Up in Ireland examines how key events in Irish history have been recast and retold to serve a multiplicity of purposes. In this provocative and extremely funny book Roy Foster demolishes the clichés that surround Ireland''s past, examining how key moments have been turned into myths - and, more recently, airbrushed and repackaged for Hollywood and popular culture. Whether discussing the ''misery tourism'' of Famine theme parks, ideas of mystical Celticism, the contested ''Irishness'' of Yeats or the sentimentalized childhoods of Angela''s Ashes and Gerry Adams''s memoir, The Irish Story brilliantly separates the tall tales from the truth. ''Brilliantly scathing ... combative, incisive and immensely enjoyable'' Fintan O''Toole, Irish Times ''Inspirational ... challenging, illuminating and witty'' Antonia Fraser, Irish Times Books of the Year ''Very funny ... the Irish story has rarely received so lively and unbiased an unfolding'' Patricia Craig, Independent ''A complex and supremely intelligent revision of Irish identity'' Colm Tóibín, Independent Books of the Year ''Blazingly good ... lucid and elegant'' John Lloyd, Financial Times R. F. Foster is Carroll Professor of Irish History at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of Hertford College, Oxford. His books include Modern Ireland: 1600-1972 , Luck and the Irish and W. B.

Modern Ireland 1600-1972 - R. Foster - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Masterfully blending narrative and interpretation, and R.F. Foster''s Modern Ireland: 1600-1972 looks at how key events in Irish history contributed to the creation of the ''Irish Nation''. ''The most brilliant and courageous Irish historian of his generation'' Colm Tóibín, London Review of Books ''Remarkable ... Foster gives a wise and balanced account of both forces of unity and forces of diversity ... a master work of scholarship'' Bernard Crick, New Statesman ''A tour de force ... Anyone who really wants to make sense of Ireland and the Irish must read Roy Foster''s magnificent and accessible Modern Ireland '' Anthony Clare ''A magnificent book. It supersedes all other accounts of modern Irish history'' Conor Cruise O''Brien, Sunday Times ''Dazzling ... a masterly survey not so much of the events of Irish history over the past four centuries as of the way in which those events acted upon the peoples living in Ireland to produce in our own time an "Irish Nation" ... a gigantic and distinguished undertaking'' Robert Kee, Observer ''A work of gigantic importance. It is everything that a history book should be. It is beautifully and clearly written; it seeps wisdom through its every pore; it is full of the most elegant and scholarly insights; it is magnificently authoritative and confident ... Modern Ireland is quite simply the single most important book on Irish history written in this generation ... A masterpiece'' Kevin Myers, Irish Times R. F. Foster is Carroll Professor of Irish History at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of Hertford College, Oxford. His books include Modern Ireland: 1600-1972 , Luck and the Irish and W. B.

Luck and the Irish - R. F. Foster - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Luck and the Irish - R. F. Foster - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

R.F. Foster''s Luck and the Irish: A Brief History of Change, 1970-2000 examines how the country has weathered thirty years of rapid transformation, and what these changes may mean in the long run. From 1970, things were changing in Ireland - the Celtic Tiger had finally woken, and the rules for everything from gender roles and religion to international relations were being entirely rewritten. By the end of the twentieth century, Ireland had become a global brand, and the almost completely unexpected wave of prosperity had brought with it upheavals in economics, sexual mores and culture, as well as a shift in North-South attitudes. Roy Foster also looks at how characters as diverse as Gerry Adams, Mary Robinson, Charles Haughey and Bob Geldof have contributed to Ireland''s altered psyche, and uncovers some of the scandals, corruption and marketing masterminds that have transformed Ireland - and its luck. ''Examines our society with fierce intelligence and insight'' Colm Tóibín, Irish Times Books of the Year ''Occasionally angry, sometimes whimsical and frequently hilarious ... Appeals both to those who know nothing and those who think they know everything'' Conor Gearty, Financial Times ''The brilliance of the writing places him as a historian in a league of his own ... A balanced work offering his own distinctive, original and elegant insights'' Diarmaid Ferriter, Times Literary Supplement R. F. Foster is Carroll Professor of Irish History at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of Hertford College, Oxford. His books include Modern Ireland: 1600-1972 , The Irish Story and W. B.

Buddhist Meditation - Kurtis R. Schaeffer - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Buddhist Meditation - Kurtis R. Schaeffer - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Drawn from Tibet''s rich contemplative literature, Buddhist Meditation offers classic exercises focused on the opportunities and challenges of life; cultivating inner calm; fostering a wider perspective on oneself in relationship to others; working with negative emotions, and the highest values of the Buddhist tradition, love and compassion. Several dozen meditation instructions are collected in twelve chapters. All major traditions of Tibetan Buddhism are represented. The book is structured on ''foundation practices'', practice manuals that immerse the reader in the search for meaningful and compassionate responses to the ubiquity of human suffering, and in the contemplative techniques that translate that search into consequential action. Spiritual exercises introduce 1) the opportunity for self-betterment and to be of benefit to other living beings; 2) the inescapable persistence of suffering in life, and the reality of death; 3) the workings of ethical cause and effect, otherwise known as karma; and 4) the ever-repeating succession of frustration known as cyclic existence, or samsara. The second set of foundation practices provide tools to build upon including: 5) taking refuge in Buddhism - a deep formal commitment to integrate Buddhist contemplative and ethical teachings into one''s life; 6) cultivating love and compassion for all living beings; 7) clearing away cognitive, emotional, and behavioral impediments to actualizing love and compassion; 8) developing with wisdom and the experience and excellent qualities necessary to put love and compassion into practice; and 9) dedicating oneself to a spiritual mentor to serve as a guide through this intensive program of training. Part existential philosophy, part ethics, part self-help program, part cosmology - the foundation exercises present a complete Buddhist picture of life, the ethical universe, and the first steps in making a positive impact in life for ourselves and others, steps anyone can begin to take by dedicating themselves to train in contemplative exercises.

The Presidents - Stephen R. Graubard - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In this magisterial examination of the Presidency over the course of the 20th Century, the author explores the history of the world''s greatest elective office and the role each incumbent has played in changing the scope of its powers. Using individual presidential portraits of each of the presidents of the past century Graubard asks, and answers, a wide variety of crucial questions about each President. What intellectual, social and political assets did they bring to the White House, and how quickly did they deplete or mortgage that capital? How well did they cope with crises, foreign and domestic? How much attention did they pay to their election pledges after they were elected? How did they use the media, old and new? Above all, how did they conduct themselves in office and what legacy did they leave to their successors? Graubard provides original analysis in each case, and reaches many surprising conclusions.

OBSERVER BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2015 TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT BOOKS OF THE YEAR and OBSERVER BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2014 WINNER OF THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION''S MORRIS D. FORKOSCH PRIZE 2016 ''The most complete and plausible exploration of the roots of the 1916 Rebellion... essential reading'' Colm Tóibín Vivid Faces surveys the lives and beliefs of the people who made the Irish Revolution: linked together by youth, radicalism, subversive activities, enthusiasm and love. Determined to reconstruct the world and defining themselves against their parents, they were in several senses a revolutionary generation.The Ireland that eventually emerged bore little relation to the brave new world they had conjured up in student societies, agit-prop theatre groups, vegetarian restaurants, feminist collectives, volunteer militias, Irish-language summer schools, and radical newspaper offices. Roy Foster''s book investigates that world, and the extraordinary people who occupied it. Looking back from old age, one of the most magnetic members of the revolutionary generation reflected that ''the phoenix of our youth has fluttered to earth a miserable old hen'', but he also wondered ''how many people nowadays get so much fun as we did''. Working from a rich trawl of contemporary diaries, letters and reflections, Vivid Faces re-creates the argumentative, exciting, subversive and original lives of people who made a revolution, as well as the disillusionment in which it ended.

RS Thomas was the greatest religious poet writing in English in the 20th century, but the 270 poems he chose for this definitive selection reveal a wide range of themes and concerns. He was a passionate Welsh patriot, but also an outspoken critic of his countrymen. His poems are an expression of his lifelong argument with himself, of his insistent search for God. In them he grapples with ideas of Welshness, with issues of technology, pollution, the decline of culture. He wrote too about love, about landscape, nature and birds. His is an urgent, prophetic and unique voice.

Journey's End - R. C. Sherriff - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Journey's End - R. C. Sherriff - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Hailed by George Bernard Shaw as ''useful [corrective] to the romantic conception of war'', R.C. Sherriff''s Journey''s End is an unflinching vision of life in the trenches towards the end of the First World War, published in Penguin Classics.Set in the First World War, Journey''s End concerns a group of British officers on the front line and opens in a dugout in the trenches in France. Raleigh, a new eighteen-year-old officer fresh out of English public school, joins the besieged company of his friend and cricketing hero Stanhope, and finds him dramatically changed. Laurence Olivier starred as Stanhope in the first performance of Journey''s End in 1928; the play was an instant stage success and remains a remarkable anti-war classic.R.C. Sherriff (1896-1975) joined the army shortly after the outbreak of the First World War, serving as a captain in the East Surrey regiment. After the war, an interest in amateur theatricals led him to try his hand at writing. Following rejection by many theatre managements, Journey''s End was given a single performance by the Incorporated Stage Society, in which Lawrence Olivier took the lead role. The play''s enormous success enabled Sherriff to become a full-time writer, with plays such as Badger''s Green (1930), St Helena (1935), and The Long Sunset (1955); though he is also remembered as a screenplay writer, for films such as The Invisible Man (1933), Goodbye Mr Chips (1933) and The Dam Busters (1955).If you enjoyed Journey''s End , you might like Robert Graves''s Goodbye to All That , available in Penguin Modern Classics.''Its unrelenting tension, and its regard for human decency in a vast world of human waste, are impressive and, even now, moving''Clive Barnes

The Mahabharata - R. K. Narayan - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Mahabharata is some 3,500 years old and is the longest poem in any language. It is one of the founding epics of Indian culture and, with its mixture of cosmic drama and profound philosophy (one small section forms the BHAGHAVAD GITA) it holds aunique place in world literature. In this drastically shortened prose rendering, Narayan uses all his extraordinary talents to convey to a modern reader why this is such a great story. Filled with vivid characters, obsessed with the rise and fall of gods, empires and heroes, Narayan''s MAHABHARATA is an enormously enjoyable experience and the perfect introduction to the otherwise bewildering Indian cosmology.
