Internationally beloved opera star Deborah Voigt recounts her harrowing and ultimately successful private battles to overcome the addictions and self-destructive tendencies that nearly destroyed her life.Call Me Debbie is one of the most electrifying performances of Deborah Voigt’s life. The brilliantly gifted opera soprano takes us behind the velvet curtains to tell her compelling story—a tale of success, addiction, music, and faith as dramatic as any role she has performed. For the first time, she talks about the events that led to her dangerous gastric bypass surgery in 2004 and its shocking aftermath: her substantial weight loss coupled with the “cross addiction” that led to severe alcoholism, frightening all-night blackouts, and suicide attempts. Ultimately, Voigt emerged from the darkness to achieve complete sobriety, thanks to a twelve-step program and a recommitment to her Christian faith.Colored by hilarious anecdotes and juicy gossip that illuminate what really goes on backstage, Voigt paints diverting portraits of the artists with whom she’s worked, her most memorable moments onstage, and her secrets to great singing. She also offers fascinating insight into the roles she’s played and the characters she loves, including Strauss’s Ariadne and Salome, Puccini’s Minnie, and Wagner’s Sieglinde, Isolde, and Brünnhilde, sharing her ...

Cynthia Owen grew up in Ireland, went to the local convent school, said her prayers and took her first communion with all the other girls in her class. But behind the façade of respectability lurked a hideous reality.Cynthia was just eight years old when she was sexually abused by her father amongst others. Shortly before her eleventh birthday she was made pregnant and, minutes after giving birth to the baby, Cynthia watched in horror as her own mother murdered the tiny infant, named Noleen, by repeatedly stabbing her with a knitting needle. Cynthia''s mother then wrapped the baby girl in a plastic bag, dumped her in an alleyway and made her daughter go back to school and pretend nothing had ever happened.After enduring many more years of rape and violence, Cynthia came forward and reported her abuse and Noleen''s death.Finally, in 2007, after a fifteen-year legal fight to have her baby girl formally identified, the jury at the ''Dun Laoghaire Baby'' inquest declared that the baby found dead in an alleyway thirty-four years previously was Noleen Murphy, the daughter of Cynthia Owen.Cynthia''s is a horrific story of brutality and loss, but ultimately, it is an account of love, immense bravery ...

Push until it hurts, then push some moreEven by the standards of a sport that requires enormous stamina and capacity for suffering, Jens Voigt is in a class on his own. Beloved by cycling fans for his madcap one-man breakaways as much as his sense of humour and quotable catchphrases, Jens is one of the most popular personalities in cycling.Jens was born near Hamburg, and came up through the East German system before the Wall came down. He got into the national team through the German army, before signing for his first big team. In many ways he is cycling’s anti-star; despite arguably spending more time at the front of the Tour de France than any other rider he has only worn the yellow jersey twice as his efforts have always been in the service of others.Jens embodies the best of cycling’s qualities – loyalty to his team, sacrifice, and devotion to the sport. He says, ‘I’m not a head person, I’m more of a heart and guts guy. That’s how I race.’ Shut Up Legs is a funny, insightful and entertaining look at the tough realities of professional cycling, told in Jens’s trademark irreverent and inimitable style.

Her work has long spanned intersectional analyses of gender, race and class...she repeatedly questions which things society pays attention to and which we consider insignificant. She is an inspiration.' Laura Bates'A triumph' Chatham HouseTwelve Feminist Lessons of War draws on sharp insights of women as survivors, activists and scholars from Ukraine to Sudan and Myanmar to show how diverse women's experiences of war must be taken seriously if we are to prevent and shorten wars and make gender justice central to recovering from wars.Women's wars are not men's wars. Wartime shapes the gendered politics of marriage, prostitution, journalism, economics, childcare, domestic violence and rape. Enloe's razor-sharp analysis highlights how understanding this can prevent wars and even end them.With fresh, fierce and vital thinking, she shows that by paying more attention to the wounded and the women who care for them, we will be more realistic about the long 'post-war'; and that by listening to feminists on the ground, in Ukraine and elsewhere, we will better understand what is happening to our world.Cynthia is one of only 100 women named on the Gender Justice Wall in The Hague.

Satisfying moments are captured in odes to Idris ElbaÂ’s dulcet tones on a meditation app and the satisfaction of half-priced EntenmannÂ’s poundcake; in childlike observations of parental Black love, the coveted female form on Jet Magazine covers, and the desire for Zamunda to be a real place full of Black joy.

Song in the Novel investigates the variety of types of songs present in novels, from French romances, ballads, folk songs, opera, and opéra-comique, to café-concert music, blues and jazz, and more recent popular music. Throughout, literary scholars, musicologists, and cultural historians analyse novels written in a range of languages, including English, French, Italian, Russian, and Spanish. Using a range of interdisciplinary and comparative material, Song in the Novel explores the way that songs can be present in novels, from the inclusion of musical scores to broader practices of citation and allusion. It interrogates the function of song in the novel, considering its importance for plot, character, and setting. Finally, it addresses the reader''s involvement in these songs — whether through immediate recognition or further research — with the result that they may participate in what Lawrence Kramer describes as a ''song pact'' with the author, akin to the intimate connections between characters enabled through song in the novel.

The first book to explore the life and times of Chinese artist, businesswoman, socialite and style expert ‘Madame Song’, whose life was spent in the company of a Who’s Who of Cold War China and which paralleled the highs and lows of the country’s history. The extraordinary life story of Song Huai-Kuei, better known as Madame Song, follows the arc of 20th-century history. Artist, entrepreneur and impresario, Song broke cultural barriers for love, transcended Cold War borders for her art, and laid the foundations for a global fashion industry. With her cosmopolitan outlook, she defined an influential vision for Chinese culture on the world stage and asserted an Asian perspective in 21st-century art and design. Madame Song is a name that everyone interested in the roots of contemporary visual culture needs to know. At the heart of this volume is a critical biography that explores Song’s youth in revolutionary China, her cross-cultural marriage to Bulgarian fibre artist Maryn Varbanov, her success within avant-garde circles in Eastern and Western Europe during the Cold War, and finally her efforts within China to revive traditional aesthetics in tandem with the explosive rise of global couture. Throughout her life, she cultivated an aspirational image ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Mystické křesťanství. Náročný, avšak neuvěřitelně hluboký text, jehož každé slovo, je-li správně pochopeno, míří k cíli, který je skryt přímo v nás.Cynthia Bourgeault, autorka bestsellerů The Wisdom Jesus a The Meaning of Mary Magdalene, se v této knize vrací ke svému nejoblíbenějšímu tématu: k neduálnímu vědomí a jeho esenciálnímu vztahu ke křesťanské tradici.Nedualita a křesťanství – cože? Nedualita neboli vnímání stavu, v němž není rozdílu mezi já, ty a Bohem, je zkušenost, o níž hovoří křesťanští mystici už celá staletí.Mezi velkým počtem knih o kontemplativní modlitbě je kniha Cynthie Bourgeault naprosto výjimečná: míří do mnohem větší hloubky, než bylo doposud obvyklé, a prezentuje kontemplativní modlitbu jako cestu k neduálnímu vědomí. Vstupuje proto na teoreticky i teologicky náročnější terén, než s jakým pracují jiné knihy pojednávající o kontemplativní modlitbě (včetně jejího vlastního předchozího titulu Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening). Ve svých tvrzeních se opírá o Bibli, o učení starých církevních otců a zejména o křesťanskou kontemplativní tradici. Ve fascinující třetí části knihy analyzuje klasické dílo středověké křesťanské mystiky, Oblak nevědění, který se, jako většina mystických textů, v konečném důsledku otevírá jen tomu, kdo se nachází na stejné duchovní úrovni, ze které byl napsán.Při kontemplativní modlitbě, během oněch nanosekundových přestávek v proudu ...

Království nebeské je Ježíšovou metaforou neduálního vědomí; není to místo, ke kterému jdete, ale místo, odkud přicházíte. Je ve vás - to znamená zde a nyní; nepřijde někdy později - je to subtilní kvalita zkušenosti, jež je vám přístupná přímo v tomto momentu. Neumřete do ní; probudíte se do ní. Pokud odložíte stranou to, co si myslíte, že víte o Ježíši, a přistoupíte k evangeliím jako byste je četli poprvé, stane se něco pozoruhodného: Ježíš z nich vystoupí jako učitel transformace vědomí. Cynthia Bourgeaultová je mistrovským průvodcem k Ježíšově vizi a k tradičním kontemplativním praktikám, díky nimž sami pocítíte srdce Ježíšova učení. Ježíš, živoucí mistr, je skutečný, je naživu, a důvěrným a pulzujícím způsobem vás v této chvíli a po všechny časy drží v náruči. Ve skutečnosti je více přítomný a více skutečný než váš vlastní dech a tlukot vašeho srdce. Ovšem abyste tuto přítomnost doopravdy poznali, je potřeba, abyste se posunuli na jinou vlnovou délku: z vašeho běžného binárního operačního systému s jeho typickým "buď/a nebo" musíte přeladit na živý přenos - na frekvenci neduálního vědění srdce: jen to vás spojí s Ježíšem.

From acclaimed poet and New Yorker writer Cynthia Zarin comes a deeply personal meditation on how love and loss shape places and spaces, all through the lens of four Italian spaces. Here we encounter a writer deeply engaged with narrative in situ – a traveller moving through beloved streets, sometimes accompanied, sometimes solo. With her we see anew the Venice Biennale, the Lagoon and San Michele, the island of the dead; the Piazza di Spagna, the Tiber, the view from the Gianicolo; the pigeons at San Marco and the parrots in the Doria Pamphili. Zarin’s attention to the smallest details, the loveliest gesture, brings Venice, Rome, Assisi and Santa Maria Maggiore vividly to life for the reader.
