MAN AND HIS SYMBOLS / JUNG, CARL GUSTAV

Título : MAN AND HIS SYMBOLS Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: JUNG, CARL GUSTAV, Autor Editorial: NEW YORK : DELL BOOK Fecha de publicación: 1968 Número de páginas: 415p ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-440-35183-2 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: SOCIAL SCIENCE  PSICHOLOGY Resumen: Since our inception, humanity has looked to dreams for guidance. But what are they? How can we understand them? And how can we use them to shape our lives? There is perhaps no one more equipped to answer these questions than the legendary psychologist Carl G. Jung. It is in his life’s work that the unconscious mind comes to be understood as an expansive, rich world just as vital and true a part of the mind as the conscious, and it is in our dreams—those personal, integral expressions of our deepest selves—that it communicates itself to us. A seminal text written explicitly for the general reader, Man and His Symbols is a guide to understanding our dreams and interrogating the many facets of identity—our egos and our shadows, “the dark side of our natures.” Full of fascinating case studies and examples pulled from philosophy, history, myth, fairy tales, and more, this groundbreaking work—profusely illustrated with hundreds of visual examples—offers invaluable insight into the symbols we dream that demand understanding, why we seek meaning at all, and how these very symbols affect our lives. Armed with the knowledge of the self and our shadow, we may build fuller, more receptive lives. By illuminating the means to examine our prejudices, interpret psychological meanings, break free of our influences, and recenter our individuality, Man and His Symbols proves to be—decades after its conception—a revelatory, absorbing, and relevant experience.

12 BOOKS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD / BRAGG, MELVYN

Título : 12 BOOKS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: BRAGG, MELVYN, Autor Editorial: LONDON : BCA Fecha de publicación: 2006 Número de páginas: 372p ISBN/ISSN/DL: 1451818 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: EUROPEAN LITERATURE & HISTORY  CRITICISM  HISTORICAL STUDIES Resumen: When we think of great events in the history of the world, we tend to think of war, revolution, political upheaval or natural catastrophe. But throughout history there have been moments of vital importance that have taken place not on the battlefield, or in the palaces of power, or even in the violence of nature, but between the pages of a book. In his fascinating new book accompanying the ITV series, Melvyn Bragg presents a vivid reminder of the book as agent of social, political and personal revolution. Twelve Books that Changed the World "presents a rich variety of human endeavour and a great diversity of characters. Here are famous books by Darwin, Newton and Shakespeare - but we also discover the stories behind some less well-known works, such as Marie Stopes' Married Love", the original radical feminist Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" - and even the rules to an obscure ball game that became the most popular sport in the world ...

UNRELIABLE MEMOIRS / JAMES, CLIVE

Título : UNRELIABLE MEMOIRS Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: JAMES, CLIVE, Autor Editorial: LONDON : PICADOR Fecha de publicación: 1982 Número de páginas: 174 PP Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: MEMOIRS Resumen: Before James Frey famously fabricated his memoir, Clive James wrote a refreshingly candid book that made no claims to be accurate, precise, or entirely truthful, only to entertain. In an exercise of literary exorcism, James set out to put his childhood in Australia behind him by rendering it as part novel, part memoir. Now, nearly thirty years after it first came out in England, Unreliable Memoirs is again available to American readers and sure to attract a whole new generation that has, through his essays and poetry, come to love James’s inimitable voice.

THE SOLDIER'S RETURN / BRAGG, MELVYN

Título : THE SOLDIER'S RETURN Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: BRAGG, MELVYN, Autor Editorial: LONDON : SCEPTRE Fecha de publicación: 1999 Número de páginas: 375 PP ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-340-75101-5 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: HISTORICAL FICTION;FICTION Resumen: Right from the start, when the train carrying British soldier Sam Richardson home to Wigton after his service in the Burma campaign breaks down two miles from town and he and his army comrades have to walk home, it is clear we are in the hands of a compassionate, clear-sighted writer. Bragg's work has been compared to that of Hardy and D.H. Lawrence, not without some justice. His smalltown people are closely and warmly observed, but without a shred of sentimentality, and although this story is familiar¢a man home from a dehumanizing war finds it hard to readjust¢it has seldom been imbued with such rueful humanity. For Sam, England after WWII, and after the sufferings he and his men endured in the frightful jungle campaigns, is stuffy and limiting; soon he starts dreaming of wider horizons. His adored wife, Ellen, however, is happily rooted in the little northern town where she grew up; their small son, Joe, who has hardly known his father, is bewitched but also terrified of him. How the family works out its fate in the shabby postwar years is Braggs story, and he makes of it something at once endearing and heroic. So many scenes, the regimental reunion, Joe's efforts to win friends among the tough town kids, a final scene at a railway station as heartrending as the movie Brief Encounter, linger in the mind. The book is a small classic, deeply touching and true.

EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY BRITAIN / PAUL LANGFORD

Título : EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY BRITAIN : A VERY SHORT INTRODUCTION Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: PAUL LANGFORD, Autor Editorial: OXFORD : OXFORD UNIVERISTY PRESS Fecha de publicación: 2000 Número de páginas: 119 PP ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-19-285399-8 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: EUROPEAN HISTORY;BRITISH HISTORY; HISTORY Resumen: While the rest of eighteenth century Europe was embroiled in revolution and unrest, Britain embarked on an era of comparative calm and stability. Two attempts by the Stuarts to reclaim the throne were easily put down, not through the power of the British military, but through the general apathy of the British people, who were just not in the mood to join in the rebellions enjoyed by the American colonies and the French. Also known as the Age of Enlightenment, this was a time for intellectual growth, as improved literacy rates and the introduction of newspapers paved the way for a more educated middle class. This was also an ideal time for the initial flourishing of the British Empire, as Britain took advantage of its rivals' troubles to further its aims abroad. This comprehensive and authoritative guide takes a thematic approach to eighteenth-century history, covering such topics as domestic politics, religious developments and changes to social demographics. It presents a full picture of an era of reform and growth.

THE SPOILS OF POYNTON / JAMES, HENRY

Título : THE SPOILS OF POYNTON Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: JAMES, HENRY, Autor Editorial: LONDON : OXFORD Fecha de publicación: 2000 Número de páginas: 201 PP ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-19-283779-0 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: CLASSIC LITERATURE;FICTION Resumen: Published in 1897, The Spoils of Poynton is one of the quintessential works of James's middle period. The "spoils" of the book's title refer to furniture and other objets d'art that the widow Adela Gereth moves to her cottage so that they are kept away from the clutches of her coarse future daughter-in-law, Mona Brigstock. However, events take an unexpected turn when her married son Owen is attracted to her friend, Fleda Vetch. This tightly constructed novel, one of James's shortest, depicts the struggle between mother and son, with the idealistic and put-upon Fleda caught in the crossfire.

THE CORRECTIONS / JONATHAN FRANZEN

Título : THE CORRECTIONS Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: JONATHAN FRANZEN, Autor Editorial: LONDON : FOURTH ESTATE Fecha de publicación: 2010 Número de páginas: 653 PP ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-00-723244-4 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: FICTION;CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN FICTION Resumen: Jonathan Franzen's third novel, The Corrections, is a great work of art and a grandly entertaining overture to our new century: a bold, comic, tragic, deeply moving family drama that stretches from the Midwest at mid-century to Wall Street and Eastern Europe in the age of greed and globalism. Franzen brings an old-time America of freight trains and civic duty, of Cub Scouts and Christmas cookies and sexual inhibitions, into brilliant collision with the modern absurdities of brain science, home surveillance, hands-off parenting, do-it-yourself mental healthcare, and the anti-gravity New Economy. With The Corrections, Franzen emerges as one of our premier interpreters of American society and the American soul. Enid Lambert is terribly, terribly anxious. Although she would never admit it to her neighbors or her three grown children, her husband, Alfred, is losing his grip on reality. Maybe it's the medication that Alfred takes for his Parkinson's disease, or maybe it's his negative attitude, but he spends his days brooding in the basement and committing shadowy, unspeakable acts. More and more often, he doesn't seem to understand a word Enid says.
