Om Seti: Wiedergeboren im Schatten der Pharaonen: Dorothy Eady und ihre spirituelle Reise in die Geheimnisse des alten Ägyptens
Dorothy Eady, bekannt als Om Seti, f hrte ein Leben, das die Grenzen zwischen Wissenschaft und Mystik, Vergangenheit und Gegenwart verschwimmen lie . Als Reinkarnation einer gyptischen Priesterin des Tempels von Abydos bezeichnet, widmete sie ihr Leben der Erforschung des alten gyptens - und ihrer eigenen spirituellen Reise. Von einem kleinen Vorort Londons bis zu den ehrfurchtgebietenden Tempelanlagen von Abydos begibt sich Om Seti auf eine einzigartige Suche nach Identit t und Wahrheit. Ihre Visionen und Erinnerungen an ein fr heres Leben in der Zeit der Pharaonen sind ebenso faszinierend wie ihre akribischen arch ologischen Beitr ge. Trotz anf nglicher Skepsis ihrer Zeitgenossen erlangte sie weltweit Anerkennung f r ihre profunden Kenntnisse und intuitive Arbeit, die bis heute die gyptologie bereichern. Paula Duhamel beleuchtet in diesem Buch die au ergew hnliche Geschichte einer Frau, die sich dem Ruf der Vergangenheit nicht entziehen konnte. "Om Seti: Wiedergeboren im Schatten der Pharaonen" erz hlt von einer unersch tterlichen Leidenschaft, einer tiefen spirituellen Verbindung und einem Erbe, das die Geheimnisse des alten gyptens f r die moderne Welt neu entziffert. Tauchen Sie ein in eine Welt, in der Glaube und Wissenschaft aufeinander treffen, und entdecken Sie die Geschichte einer Frau, die wie keine andere zwischen zwei Welten lebte.
Frauendarstellung Und Erzaehlstruktur Im Romanwerk Dorothy Richardsons
Diese Arbeit untersucht die in der Forschung bisher nicht berucksichtigte Wechselbeziehung zwischen der dem weiblichen Bewusstsein als Darstellungsgegenstand und der von eben diesem weiblichen Bewusstsein gepragten Erzahlstruktur in Dorothy Richardsons Romanzyklus "Pilgrimage." Die Hauptfigur Miriam Henderson ist eine Meisterin der Wahrnehmung und "Pilgrimage" ein Werk voller Nuancen, welche bei einer grobschrittigen Betrachtungsweise verlorengehen. Daher wird der funfundzwanzigjahrige Entwicklungsprozess der Protagonistin auf den drei Ebenen der sozialen, der metaphysischen und der kunstlerischen Pilgerreise nachvollzogen. In ihrer Rolle als Kunstlerin erreicht Miriam Henderson schliesslich die Verwirklichung des weiblichen Bewusstseins in der Literatur und vereint damit die drei Pilgerreisen."

Not Much Fun: The Lost Poems of Dorothy Parker

During the early years of her career, while struggling to "keep body and soul apart" (as she ruefully put it later), Dorothy Parker wrote more than three hundred poems and verses for a variety of popular magazines and newspapers. Between 1926 and 1933 she collected most of these pieces in three volumes of poetry: Enough Rope, Sunset Gun, and Death and Taxes. The remaining poems and verses from America's most renowned cynic make up this volume. Eclectic and exuberant, these 122 once-forgotten gems display Parker's distinctive wit, irony, and precision, as she dissects early-twentieth-century American urban life and gleefully skewers a rich array of targets that range from personal foible to popular culture. With an authoritative, immensely entertaining, and critically acclaimed introduction by Stuart Y. Silverstein, Not Much Fun is an essential addition to the Dorothy Parker library and a welcome gift to her many admirers and devoted fans.

When it comes to movie reviews, critic Violet Epps is a powerhouse voice. But that's only because she's learned to channel her literary hero Dorothy Parker, the most celebrated and scathing wit of the twentieth century. If only Violet could summon that kind of strength in her personal life. Violet visits the Algonquin Hotel in an attempt to find inspiration from the hallowed dining room where Dorothy Parker and so many other famous writers of the 1920s traded barbs, but she gets more than she bargained for when Parker's feisty spirit rematerializes. An irreverent ghost with problems of her own--including a refusal to cross over to the afterlife--Mrs. Parker helps Violet face her fears, becoming in turn mentor and tormentor...and ultimately, friend.

The Seven Deadly Sins in the Work of Dorothy L. Sayers
The impact of Dorothy L. Sayer's work is a powerful one. She was a gifted artist who worked in many genres and addressed many issued, but her achievement goes beyond creative skill and variety of range. What she consistently communicates about Sin-the basic problem of human existence-provides a core of content which evokes, as she believed artistic work should, a spiritual ""response in the lively soul"" (The Zeal of Thy House). Janice Brown examines Sayers's major works, beginning with her early poetry and moving through her works of fiction to the dramas, essays, and lectures written in the last years of her life. She illustrates how Sayers used popular genres to teach about sin and redemption, how she redefined the Seven Deadly Sins for the twentieth century, why she stopped writing mysteries, and her applications of the concepts of sin and redemption to society as a whole. She also considers the relationship between Sayers's spiritual life and her work and traces Lord Peter Wimsey's change from worldliness to something approaching Christianity. In Sayers's earlier work, particularly her fiction, the concept of the Seven Deadly Sins provided part of the background for her characterization, which is based on a Christian view of humanity as ""fallen"". In these works, Sayers considered the worst Sins to be the spiritual, or cold-hearted ones, particularly Pride (the root of all others) and Envy. In the dramatic and discursive works of her later years she is more direct and didactic; the Sin of Sloth becomes a major theme in this period.

Ozma Of Oz - A Record Of Her Adventures With Dorothy Gale Of Kansas, The Yellow Hen, The Scarecrow, The Tin Woodman, Tiktok, The Cowardly Lion And The Hungry Tiger, Besides Other Good People Too Numerous To Mention Faithfully Recorded Herein
This vintage book contains a collection of essays written by the influential Russian philosopher, Lev Isaakovich Shestov. One of the most delicate and individual of modern Russian critics, Shestov was a radical empiricist and proto-existentialist thinker who integrated literary theory and philosophical thought in a masterful way that inspired such minds as Camus, Dostoyevsky, Deleuze, D. H. Lawrence, and Bataille. Included in this collection are the essays: "Anton Chekhov", "The Gift of Prophecy", "Penultimate Words", and "The Theory of Knowledge". The essays of this collection are fascinating and insightful, and constitute a must-reads for all students of philosophy. This antiquarian book was originally published in 1916, and is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
