A lively re-telling of the medieval classic.One fine spring day, thirty pilgrims set off from Harry Bailey's inn in Southwark for the shrine of Thomas A Becket in Canterbury. The innkeeper makes an offer that none of the travellers can refuse: a free dinner at his inn, on their return, to the person who can tell the best story. So begins the assortment of tales from such varied characters as the Knight, the Wife of Bath, the Miller and many more.

Der findes mange fagbøger om stress, og til trods for at viden om årsager, konsekvenser og behandling vokser, så stiger antallet af stressramte mennesker. "Fra indersiden af arbejdslivet" er en poetisk historie om en livsomvæltende stressbelastning. Det er en hverdagsnær skildring af tanker og følelser hos et menneske under pres fra denne tids arbejdsliv. Poesiens sprog supplerer det, vi ved om stress, med en dybere forståelse for og indføling med det at være menneske - i et arbejdsliv som ikke længere er sundt - som kilde til at forebygge og hele skader fra stress.

The profundity and spirit of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius is brought out superbly in this edition of the Meditations, translated by George Long.All twelve books are present, complete with original footnotes which help to clarify and explain the meanings behind the passages. Since the original text was written in Greek after the spirit of many classical philosophers, an index of Greek terminology is also included at the conclusion for the benefit of the reader. The spirit of Stoicism, whereby Marcus Aurelius details a lifetime spent cultivating good habits, manners, attitude and evenness of temperament are laid out upon these pages evocatively. Many of the pages are thought to have been written at Sirmium, during periods of military planning. It is a strongly autobiographical text; each book focuses upon a different time - from upbringing to youth to maturity. The writing is famously frank, clear and honest - with none of the superiority or pretense one might expect of an Emperor of Rome.

The Shambhala Anthology of Women''s Spiritual Poetry celebrates the unique spiritual life of women through a rich selection of poetry written over the past four thousand years, from thirty-six different languages and cultures. It ranges from verse by the first recorded poet, a Sumerian priestess named Enheduanna (circa 2,300 BCE), to Anne Sexton; from early Buddhist nuns to Emily Dickinson; from Hildegard of Bingen to Tess Gallagher. Many of the translations are from distinguished authors and poets, such as Coleman Barks, Samuel Beckett, Stanley Kunitz, W. S. Merwin, Kenneth Rexroth, Arthur Waley, and Richard Wilbur. In this book (originally published as Voices of Light), the spiritual impulse is expressed broadly as a visionary quest toward self-realization, as well as the desire for union with God, with the source of divine light, with a mystic lover, or with the source of nature. Many of the poets here also remind us that the spiritual is within everyone and unites us through empathy with the suffering and joy of others—a poetry of witness. Contributors include: Anne Bradstreet, Sappho, Sylvia Plath, Hildegard of Bingen, Yosano Akiko, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Tess Gallagher, Anne Sexton, Beatrice of Nazareth, Carolyn Forché, Mary: Mother of Jesus, Denise Levertov, Emily Dickinson, H.D., Linda Hogan, Charlotte Brontë, Louise Erdrich, Lucille Clifton, Anna Akhmatova, Marianne Moore, Mechthild of Magdeburg, Praxilla, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, and many others.

En ung mand vender hjem til den stråtækkede gård ude på landet. Efter fem år i udenrigsfart at have sejlet de syv verdenshave tynde vender han hjem igen til en verden der synes at være gået i stå. Han føler som det var i går han tog ud i den store verden - han ser de samme ansigter, hører de samme stemmer og den samme gamle snak. Det er som en verden der er frosset i tiden, en verden uden liv, en verden uden sjæl. For første gang i sit unge liv føler han sig alene og meget hjemløs.

Jeg blev født på en kold dag i en tid hvor alt endnu ikke helt var prøvet og i en tid hvor der stadig var forskel på ondt og på godt og hvor stolthed og ære endnu stod for noget.

Visionary poet Allen Ginsberg was one of the most influential cultural and literary figures of the 20th century, his face and political causes familiar to millions who had never even read his poetry. And yet he is a figure that remains little understood, especially how a troubled young man became one of the intellectual and artistic giants of the postwar era. He never published an autobiography or memoirs, believing that his body of work should suffice. The Essential Ginsberg attempts a more intimate and rounded portrait of this iconic poet by bringing together for the first time his most memorable poetry but also journals, music, photographs and letters, much of it never before published.

A 'heart of gold' is one marked by kindness and generosity. It's a prized possession full of hope, soft and flexible as if it were 24 carat. You're the kind of person who is willing to sacrifice for others. To go great lengths to put a smile on someone's face. But like the metal, you find yourself susceptible to being exploited for your value. In the wrong hands, your selflessness and flexible boundaries can be taken advantage of. Hearts of gold can hold a lot of pain and discouragement as a result.This fourth book by Zara Bas serves as a reminder that your kindness is a strength, not a weakness, but it deserves protection to preserve its radiant lustre. You are not just kind; you are resilient, strong, and deserving of a world that respects and cherishes the rare gift that is your heart of gold.
