Exploring occultist, magician, poet, painter, and writer Aleister Crowley’s longstanding and intimate association with Paris, Tobias Churton provides the first detailed account of Crowley’s activities in the City of Light. Using previously unpublished letters and diaries, Churton explores how Crowley was initiated into the Golden Dawn’s Inner Order in Paris in 1900 and how, in 1902, he relocated to Montparnasse. Soon engaged to Anglo-Irish artist Eileen Gray, Crowley pontificates and parties with English, American, and French artists gathered around sculptor Auguste Rodin: all keen to exhibit at Paris’s famed Salon d’Automne. In 1904--still dressed as “Prince Chioa Khan” and recently returned from his Book of the Law experience in Cairo--Crowley dines with novelist Arnold Bennett at Paillard’s. In 1908 Crowley is back in Paris to prove it’s possible to attain Samadhi (or “knowledge and conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel”) while living a modern life in a busy metropolis. In 1913 he organizes a demonstration for artistic and sexual freedom at Oscar Wilde’s tomb. Until war spoils all in 1914, Paris is Crowley’s playground. The author details how, after returning from America in 1920, and though based at his “Abbey of Thelema” in Sicily, Crowley can’t leave Paris alone. When ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Aleister Crowley (1875 – 1947) – britský okultista, spisovateľ, horolezec, šachista, maliar, astrológ, básnik, prozaik, jogín a kritik spoločnosti. Vplyvný člen niekoľkých okultných organizácií býval označovaný za „najskazenejšieho muža sveta". Dnes je považovaný za jednu z najvplyvnejších osobností britskej histórie. Svojím životom a dielom inšpiroval mnoho významných umelcov. Hlásili sa k nemu členovia The Beatles, Ozzy Osbourne, Jimmy Page, David Bowie a svojím odkazom výrazne ovplyvnil tvorbu britských heavymetalových kapiel.Novela Testament Magdalen Blairovej (1913) je denníkom mladej ženy schopnej čítať myšlienky. Počas univerzitného štúdia si jej nezvyčajné schopnosti všimne profesor Blair a čoskoro ju požiada o ruku. Krátko po svadbe však profesor vážne ochorie a Magdalen tak musí byť nielen svedkom pomalého a nevýslovne bolestivého utrpenia milovaného životného partnera, ale zároveň je nútená počuť a cítiť trýznivé myšlienky umierajúceho manžela. Po profesorovom skone však Magdalen aj naďalej vníma jeho myseľ, akoby ani smrť nepripravila nebohého o vedomie. Zbierka pôvodne časopisecky vydaných poviedok Zlaté vetvičky (1918) je výrazne inšpirovaná monumentálnou štúdiou o magickom a mystickom myslení od anglického etnografa a kultúrneho antropológa J. G.

Liber Aleph, Kniha moudrosti a bláznovství, je jedním z vrcholných děl Aleistera Crowleyho, napsaným počátkem roku 1918 v New Yorku, v době, kdy hledal nové směřování pro svět zdecimovaný hrůzami první světové války. Crowley napsal tuto knihu formou dlouhého dopisu adresovaného svému „magickému synovi“, v němž mu předává duchovní poznání a léty nashromážděnou zasvěceneckou moudrost. Jde tedy o soubor poučení, v němž podle vlastních slov vyjádřil „srdce své nauky v jejích nejhlubších a nejjemnějších dimenzích“.Kniha se skládá z více než dvou set krátkých kapitol, které pokrývají široké spektrum témat včetně kabalistické moudrosti, výkladu snů, vztahu mistra a žáka, povahy lásky a sexuality, smrti a zásvětí, zkoumání procesu duchovní transformace a mnoha dalších. Crowley zde nejen symbolickým jazykem zprostředkovává mystická tajemství, ale také vyzývá čtenáře, aby překonali své limity, zpochybnili zavedené názory a našli vlastní, autentickou cestu k osvícení. Jeho text je plný provokativních myšlenek, které vedou čtenáře k osobnímu růstu a pochopení síly své pravé vůle, svých rozhodnutí a tužeb. To všechno navíc předává krásným archaickým a epistolárním stylem, jenž odpovídá silně osobnímu a duchovně závažnému tématu knihy.Liber Aleph je zřejmě obsahově nejhutnější a nejvšestrannější expozice Crowleyho esoterní filosofie.

The Condition of the Working Class in England is the best known work of Engels, and still in many ways the best study of the working class in Victorian England. It was the first book written by Engels during his stay in Manchester from 1842 to 1844. Manchester was then at the very heart of the Industrial Revolution, and Engels compiled his study from his own observations and detailed contemporary reports. The fluency of his writing, the personal nature of his insights, and his talent for mordant satire combine to make this account of the lives of the victims of early industrial change into a classic - a historical study that parallels and complements the fictional works of the time by such writers as Gaskell and Dickens. What Cobbett had done for agricultural poverty in his Rural Rides, Engels did - and more - in this work on the plight of industrial workers in England in the 1840s. This edition includes the prefaces to the English and American editions, and a map of Manchester c.1845.

Archery in Medieval England is an account of how archery developed amongst ordinary people in England and Wales after the Norman Conquest. In the 300 years after that traumatic event, Englishmen became such skilled archers that they could defeat the most heavily armoured noble knights in battle after battle – feats of arms unequalled by the combatants of any other European country. Here Richard Wadge describes how men used bows and arrows in their everyday lives in the centuries between the arrival of the Normans and the start of the 100 Years War in Edward III’s reign.Many contemporary records provide accounts of the illegal use of bows and arrows: unlawful hunting is shown to have been particularly important as a school for the development of battle- winning archery skills. In the process of investigating these accounts, light is shed on the background to the stories of Robin Hood and other outlaws. Evidence from archaeology, manuscript illustrations, church wall paintings and carvings provides an insight into the actual bows and arrows and their use.Richard Wadge shows how the archer came to symbolise the spirit of the ordinary Englishman, how he became a forerunner of John Bull and how he remains part ...

We have all heard of the Black Death and how it scythed its way through England and the rest of Europe in the late 1340s, and we hear that a third or perhaps even half of the entire English population died in this terrible pandemic. However the numbers are so vast that the victims become little more than statistics. They blur into a kind of unreality, a mute testimony to a catastrophe beyond imagination or comprehension. The Black Death in England aims to rectify this by giving names to some of the people who died in the fourteenth-century epidemics of the Plague Years and recognises those who lived through it, recreating something of their lives and what they went through.

Written when Engels was only twenty-four, and inspired in particular by his time living amongst the poor in Manchester, this forceful polemic explores the staggering human cost of the Industrial Revolution in Victorian England. Engels paints an unforgettable picture of daily life in the new industrial towns, and for miners and agricultural workers--depicting overcrowded housing, abject poverty, child labour, sexual exploitation, dirt and drunkenness--in a savage indictment of the greed of the bourgeoisie. His fascinating later preface, written for the first English edition of 1892 and included here, brought the story up to date in the light of forty years'' further refelection. A masterpiece of committed reporting and an impassioned call to arms, this is one of the great pioneering works of social history.

In the early modern period, ignorance was commonly perceived as a sin, a flaw, a defect, and even a threat to religion and the social order. Yet praises of ignorance were also expressed in the same context. Reclaiming the long-lasting legacy of medieval doctrines of ignorance and taking a comparative perspective, Sandrine Parageau tells the history of the apparently counter-intuitive moral, cognitive and epistemological virtues attributed to ignorance in the long seventeenth century (1580s-1700) in England and in France. With close textual analysis of hitherto neglected sources and a reassessment of canonical philosophical works by Montaigne, Bacon, Descartes, Locke, and others, Parageau specifically examines the role of ignorance in the production of knowledge, identifying three common virtues of ignorance as a mode of wisdom, a principle of knowledge, and an epistemological instrument, in philosophical and theological works. How could an essentially negative notion be turned into something profitable and even desirable? Taken in the context of Renaissance humanism, the Reformation and the "Scientific Revolution"—which all called for a redefinition and reaffirmation of knowledge—ignorance, Parageau finds, was not dismissed in the early modern quest for renewed ways of thinking and knowing. On the contrary, it was assimilated into the philosophical and ... Unknown localization key: "more"

"The Apology of the Church of England" is a vast theological work written by John Jewel, a 16th-century English bishop. This book is a important piece of Reformation literature and serves as a protection and clarification of the principles, practices, and ideals of the Church of England during a duration of religious upheaval. John Jewel became a staunch defender of the English Reformation and a prominent parent inside the early Anglican Church. In "The Apology," he addresses the theological and doctrinal controversies of the time, especially those that emerged at some point of the reign of Queen Mary I, while Catholicism in brief regained prominence in England. The e book serves as an articulate argument in choose of the reformed English church, supplying a case for the distinctive non secular identification of the Church of England.

The Viking Great Army that swept through England between AD 865 and 878 altered the course of British history. Since the late 8th century, Viking raids on the British Isles had been a regular feature of life, but the winter of 865 saw a fundamental shift that would change the political, economic and social landscape forever. Instead of making quick smash-and-grab summer raids for silver and slaves, Vikings now remained in England for the winter and became immersed in its communities. Some settled permanently, acquiring land and forming a new hybrid Anglo-Scandinavian culture. The Viking army was here to stay. Its presence was a catalyst for new towns and new industries, while transformations in power politics would ultimately see the rise of King Alfred the Great and make Wessex the pre-eminent kingdom of Anglo-Saxon England. Drawing on the most up-to-date discoveries and the latest scientific techniques, the authors’ recent research at the Viking Great Army’s winter camp at Torksey in Lincolnshire has revolutionized what we know about its size, activities and social makeup, as has the wealth of newly recovered evidence from metal-detectorists. ...

Two young women from Beijing, Wang Lan and Li Yan, arrived in the UK in the early 1990s. Wang Lan, a strong and independent woman who had recently experienced heartbreak, possessed a family-inherited skill in acupuncture. However, at that time, acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine had not yet gained widespread acceptance among the British public. Could she find work treating patients and survive in this society? When faced with the romantic advances of a dashing English doctor who initially looked down on her and dismissed acupuncture, as well as a Chinese man she once had a love-hate relationship with, who should she choose? Could she find her true love? Li Yan, in contrast, was not an independent woman. Her sole aim was to marry a wealthy man and enjoy a life of comfort and leisure.

Longlisted for the Penderyn Music Book PrizeEngland was once dubbed ‘the land without music’, but in the early twentieth century collectors and enthusiasts such as Cecil Sharp, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Percy Grainger discovered a vital heritage of folk song, vibrant and alive among working men and women. Yet after more than a century of collecting, publishing and performing songs, there are still many things we don’t know about England’s traditional music. Where did the songs come from? Who sang them, and where, when and why? Why did some songs thrive, and did the collectors’ passions and prejudices determine what was preserved, and what was lost?In answer to these questions, acclaimed folklorist Steve Roud has drawn on an unprecedented range of sources to present an intricate social history of folk song through the ages, from the sixteenth to the early twentieth century. It is an absorbing and impeccably researched account that gives a sonorous voice to England’s past.
