The Fasti treats the calendar, recently revised by Caesar and Augustus, as its most important cultural model and as a quasi-literary 'intertext': the poem simultaneously reshapes and is itself shaped by the calendar. In 1736 Maria Theresa Voigtin, widow of the printer to the University of Vienna, issued an edition of Fasti Austriae, a highly original poem which purported to. This book considers the relationship between the "Fasti", Ovid's long poem on the Roman calendar, and the calendar itself, conceived of as consisting both in the rites and commemorations it organizes and in its graphic representation.

**Gravity is an MM romance featuring bi/gay awakening, friends to lovers, team shenanigans, fast-paced hockey, ice-melting sizzle, and swoony Québécois love songs.**įew authors can wield a metaphor as descriptively and impactfully as Tal Bauer. Then Bryce’s lips land on mine, and the world turns upside down. Saying hello to Bryce turns into hours spent together on the ice, and then an invite to dinner, and then days at each other’s side. And there’s my hero: Bryce Michel, league superstar. I never thought I’d be invited to the All-Star Weekend, but here I am. Look inside myself? Lotta beer and burgers there. I’m just trying to keep my head up and get through each day, until this wild ride comes to an end.ĭeep thinking isn’t really my thing. Good enough to be drafted into the NHL, and I’ve been on the roster for the past two years, but I’ll never make the Hall of Fame. I’m a middle-of-the-road, nothing-special hockey player. So why am I falling head over heels at the NHL’s All-Star Weekend? Like how a man’s lips might taste, or how his body might feel in my arms. I’m thinking dangerous thoughts, and dreaming about impossible things. I’m shattering records and packing arenas every night, and I’ve promised my team: we’re going to win the Stanley Cup this year.īut I’m keeping big secrets. This game pulled me from my tiny Quebec hometown all the way to the NHL, and now? I’m the number one player in the league. Their story is my favorite kind, emotional, raw, healing. Patrick wasn’t planing on Christina being what he needed as well. Christina lives on little lies and keeps so much hidden away inside, Patrick gave her a reason to let it out. Christina and Patrick were intense and exhilarating! It was shocking, dirty, sexy, emotional, and it was all soooooo good! I fell in love with these characters. I felt so immersed in this book, I couldn’t put it down. When she meets Patrick and his solution to her problems, everything changes. Christina is a hot mess barely keeping it all together. Priceless is hands down the Sexiest book I have EVER read! It lures you in and swallows you whole! Never in my life have I been this turned on by reading a book! You will definitely need a few extra changes of panties and a cold shower while reading this because Silver isn’t playing around! This author knows how to get the juices flowing!… Wink… PATRICK. Holy Crap! like, where do I even begin to explain how freaking fantastic this book was! Priceless was Hot, scratch that this book was Blazing! Liquid, that what this book turned me into! It made me ridiculously molten. Peterson: Erich Neumann is the most well-regarded student, analyst & distiller of Carl Jung's work. Throughout the sequence, the Hero is the evolving ego consciousness.įeaturing a foreword by Jung, this Princeton Classics edition introduces a new generation of readers to this eloquent and enduring work. The intermediate stages are projected in the universal myths of the World Creation, Great Mother, Separation of the World Parents, Birth of the Hero, Slaying of the Dragon, Rescue of the Captive, and Transformation and Deification of the Hero. The Origins and History of Consciousness is German born Jungian psychologist and philosopher Erich Neumann’s overview of the archetypal stages in the development of human consciousness based on depth psychology and evolutionary theory (mind you, the book was first published in 1949, so that should give you a sense for how advanced Neumann was. In this influential book, Neumann shows how the stages begin and end with the symbol of the Uroboros, the tail-eating serpent. This audiobook, narrated by William Roberts, explores the evolution of consciousness through the archetypes and myths that are universal to all humanity. Jung's most creative students and a renowned practitioner of analytical psychology in his own right. The Origins and History of Consciousness draws on a full range of world mythology to show how individual consciousness undergoes the same archetypal stages of development as human consciousness as a whole.Įrich Neumann was one of C. And between the 12th and the 15th centuries three more exceptional women - Eleanor of Aquitaine, Isabella of France, and Margaret of Anjou - discovered, as queens consort and dowager, how much was possible if the presumptions of male rule were not confronted so explicitly. Four hundred years before Edward’s death, Matilda, daughter of Henry I and granddaughter of William the Conquerer, came tantalisingly close to securing her hold on the power of the crown. But female rule in England also had a past. In 1553, England was about to experience the ‘monstrous regiment’ - the unnatural rule - of a woman. For the first time, all the contenders for the crown were female. When Edward VI - Henry VIII’s longed-for son - died in 1553, extraordinarily, there was no one left to claim the title King of England. One Billion Americans argues that America is not over-crowded and could have one billion citizens, and still have less than half the population density that Germany has today. Viewers submitted questions via email to or via Twitter using #OneBillionAmericans. One Billion Americans: The Case for Thinking Bigger is a book by Matthew Yglesias, first published in 2020. They talked about economic theory and research from leading policy experts to offer ideas from around the globe - from family planning policy to immigration reform - to demonstrate why more people could help move America forward. Yglesias has written a stunningly compelling book suggesting that all of Americas current problems will go away if we just increase the population in the US to. On October 9, Yglesias was joined by Richard Reeves, senior fellow and director of the Future of the Middle Class Initiative at Brookings, to discuss his new book. From one of our foremost policy writers, One Billion Americans is the provocative yet logical argument that if we aren’t moving forward, we’re losing. What would actually make America great? More people, argues Vox Co-Founder Matthew Yglesias in his new book, “ One Billion Americans.” Through the last few years of intensifying national issues, Yglesias started to wonder: Wouldn’t it be great for America if we could blow up the political stalemates and talk about what’s really happening to our place on the world stage? To take decline seriously, and think bigger? The winner in the future world is going to have more - more ideas, more ambition, more utilization of resources, more people. When Dan and I walked inside, I had to double-check and see if we were somehow trespassing into the queen’s holiday mansion and if I should tell her majesty that I saw the drunk captain of the rugby team piss in her pool. AKA the mother of all freaking parties in Royal Elite. However, the sneaky wanker chose the party. Since Dan is part of the football team, I expected him to take me to their usual thing - not that I know what that is, but I had an idea it’d be in some posh house in London. He’s into drama and all that jazz.īut I promised him I’d attend one party before the summer starts. Spoiler alert, don’t believe anything Dan says. Now, I’m not that much of a fun-ruiner, although my best friend Dan would say otherwise. Not to be dramatic, although I probably am, this place is like my worst nightmare wrapped in super-expensive watered down alcohol. You may be noble, but stay away from King.Īlcohol, drunk teenagers, and thumping music. But she still can’t recall what happened to her during the previous two days. When her boss finally arrives, he seems surprised to see her-because she hasn’t worked there in five years.Īlly knows her name, but little else, and it’s only after several hours in an emergency room and multiple interviews with the hospital psychiatrist that she begins to piece together important facts: she lives on the Upper West Side she’s now a freelance personal finance journalist she’s married to a lovely man named Hugh. On a cold, rainy morning, finance journalist Ally Linden arrives early to work in her Manhattan office, only to find that she’s forgotten her keycard and needs to have a colleague she’s never met let her in. The key to her missing memories could bring relief-or unlock her worst nightmares. From New York Times bestselling author Kate White comes a gripping novel about one woman’s dangerous quest to recover lost memories someone would rather she never find. There’s also the recent publication of The Annotated Mrs. This year brought a new edition of it, with a foreword by the author Jenny Offill. Dalloway, Virginia Woolf’s 1925 novel about a day in the life of a London society hostess, is enjoying a renaissance. That helps to explain the currency of a nearly 100-year-old piece of literature-a book, fundamentally, about a party. People are negotiating new ways of being in each other’s proximity. (“I’m sick of being perceived,” one woman said this summer, explaining why she would keep wearing her face mask outside despite relaxed CDC guidance on the matter.) But the internet has brought new acuity to the old experience of watching oneself being watched. Such transactions are not limited to the digital environment. Instagram, in that way, is both a choice and not a choice at all-a trap saturated in the language of easy freedoms: Post, comment, like. “Comparisons on Instagram can change how young women view and describe themselves.” Here, though, is another finding: Many of the same young people who spoke of Instagram’s degradations kept returning to the service anyway. “Thirty-two percent of teen girls said that when they felt bad about their bodies, Instagram made them feel worse,” the company’s internal research revealed. In September, The Wall Street Journal published a report, based on leaked documents, describing Facebook’s awareness of the harmful effects one of its platforms was having on young people. In addition, I describe in the book how an anecdotal event triggered my interest. In many languages, the concept of “debt” is linked to that of “fault” or “sin”. Also, the word “debt” has a particularly strong moral connotation, as verified by its etymology. Meanwhile, the topic has obviously gained crucial significance since the crises of 2007/2008. Green European Journal: How did you come up with the idea of writing a history of debt?ĭavid Graeber: I realised that while there were histories about almost everything, from underwear to money, none was written about debt. Over the course of the past 5,000 years, the storyteller takes the reader from New Zealand to Mesopotamia, from Scandinavian sagas to Iroquois narratives, interweaving the stories of history. In passing, he also shakes up preconceived ideas on the origin of money, the genesis of debt, and social organisation in general. David Graeber’s book traces the history of debt (a lengthy history at that), now a concept that has become eminently political. |
