Of Thorn

*** THE INSTANT TOP TEN BESTSELLER *** ‘This spare but elegant account is an unexpected delight, and as soothing as a walk down a tree-dappled lane at sunset’ – Daily Mail‘Gentle and timeless, Paul is the authentic voice of the countryside. This is the story of a man at one with the land.’ – Lara Maiklem, author of Mudlarking #39;It is impossible not to like Lamb, or this book #39; – Sunday Times Paul Lamb is a hedgelayer. From the end of summer until the birds nest in the spring, he maintains the ancient boundaries of the British countryside. He lives in his wagon, as many itinerant farm workers used to, and travels the south-west corner of England, restoring an important but often forgotten part of our country. Hedgerows are a living structure, woven into the fabric of rural life, a vital aspect of man’s partnership with nature. As traditional management techniques are lost to modernisation, hedges have declined dramatically. Paul works alone and by hand to rejuvenate these linear woodlands, saving the homes of the wildlife that rely on them and bringing many other ecological benefits. Following the rhythm of the seasons, Of Thorn Briar describes Paul’s life on the road and the practical aspects of his job. It is about practising a craft with skill, preserving our heritage for future generations and celebrating the glory of the landscape he’s spent his life caring for.

The Unknown Father of the Modern Mission - Francoise Fauconnet-Buzelin

The unknown father of the modern MissionPierre Lambert de la Motte was born in Normandy in 1624 into a pious noble family. After studying law, and a brief but distinguished career in civil administration, he entered the Congregation of the Assumption, a lay association. In 1657, he volunteered as a missionary in Asia, was appointed Titular Bishop of Beirut and left for Asia in 1660. Arrived in Siam, he made pastoral visits in Cochinchina (Southern Vietnam) and throughout Vietnam, educating and ordaining native priests, giving courage to dispersed communities, trying to settle the many rivalries between missionary orders and to improve tense relations with the authorities, while living the deep spiritual life of a mystic of the Cross. He died in 1679.His work is part of the considerable development of missions in the seventeenth century under the leadership of Pope Gregory XV. In France, Pierre Lambert de la Motte played a key role in the birth of the Paris Foreign Missions Society in 1658, for China and South-East Asia. They were to work tirelessly, following the Roman Instructions of 1659: refusal of secularization and politicization, respect for indigenous cultures, accession of the local Churches to autonomy and consolidation of their link with the Holy See.The author describes the work accomplished by the Paris Foreign Missions Society in this part of Asia, shows the difficulties in developing them, as well as the extraordinary tenacity of an inspired man.

The Hospitaller Knights of Saint John at Rhodes 1306-1522 - Gordon Ellyson Abercrombie Abercrombie

The first of a series of volumes on the Hospitaller Knights of Saint John, this volume covers the period 1306⠓1522.The Hospitaller Knights had developed during the Crusades from a monastic order providing hostels for Christian pilgrims visiting the Holy Land. The need to provide armed escorts to these pilgrims brought about their evolution into a Military Order. An elite component of Crusader armies, Hospitallers were involved in most large-scale Christian-Saracen engagements following the First Crusade. Taking to the sea, the Hospitallers became a major naval power in the Mediterranean. The author draws on the work of the Order⠙s official historians, Giacomo Bosio and his successor Bartolomeo dal Pozzo. He transcribes their writings for the modern reader, while also presenting new information revealed in the 400 years of scholarship since Bosio⠙s death in 1627. This volume opens with Hospitaller relocation from Cyprus to Rhodes during the years 1306 to 1309 while introducing other entities wielding power in the Eastern Mediterranean, including Mamluk Egypt, Turkish beyliks emerging from disintegration of the Seljuk Empire, the Eastern Roman or Byzantine Empire, Cyprus itself, and not least, the Republic of Venice controlling most Aegean islands. The book brings to light the contributions of Hospital leaders (Grand Masters) as well as of lieutenants, allies and opponents, including those of Philippe Villiers de L⠙Isle-Adam, who became Grand Master in 1521. Complete with an extensive glossary of notable figures, this volume is believed to be the only continuous history since Bosio of the Hospitallers during the period 1306 through 1522, and is certainly the only such history in the English language.

Theory of the Rearguard - Ivan de la Nuez

Theory of the Rearguard examines how contemporary art is in tension with survival, rather than in relation to life. In the twentieth century, Peter Burger s Theory of the Avant-Garde was a cult book focused on the two main tasks that art demanded at the time: to break its representation and to destroy the barrier that separated it from life. Forty years later, The Theory of the Rearguard is an ironic manifesto about contemporary art and its failures, even though Ivan de la Nuez does not waste his time mourning it or disguising it. He argues that our times are not characterized by the distance between art and life, but by a tension between art and survival, which is the continuation of life by any means necessary. In the twenty-first century, Ivan de la Nuez examines art in relationship to politics, iconography, and literature. This austere and sharp book in which Duchamp stumbles upon Lupe, the revolution upon the museum, Paul Virilio upon Joan Fontcuberta or Fukuyama upon Michael Jackson wonders if contemporary art will ever end. Because if it were mortal- just as mortal as everything it invokes or examines under its magnifying glass -de la Nuez argues would be worth writing an epitaph for it as he has done in this sparkling book of art criticism.

Guía práctica sobre los símbolos y rituales de la masonería como vía de desarrollo espiritual y personal• Recorre la historia y el significado de la masonería y sus símbolos • Ofrece reflexiones sobre distintos ámbitos de la experiencia masónica, basándose en doctrinas esotéricas y comparándolas con experiencias de la vida diaria • Aporta ejercicios y prácticas sencillas para ayudar a interiorizar y personalizar las enseñanzas presentadas, tales como el trabajo con sueños, la escritura de un diario, la meditación y la oración En esta guía práctica, Mark Stavish presenta las enseñanzas espirituales y los rituales de la masonería como un camino gradual de desarrollo espiritual y superación personal, tanto para hombres como para mujeres sin importar si son masones o no. Explora la historia y el significado de la masonería y sus símbolos –desde sus orígenes en el Templo de Salomón hasta los gremios artesanales medievales y del Renacimiento– y explica cómo la masonería promueve el crecimiento personal a través de la construcción simbólica de nuestro ser y de un templo interior de sabiduría, de la misma manera que los rituales masónicos simbolizan la construcción del templo de Salomón según las instrucciones arquitectónicas y místicas de Hiram. Basándose en doctrinas esotéricas como la Cábala, la alquimia, la geometría sagrada, la magia angelical de John Dee y los secretos de los constructores de catedrales góticas, cada capítulo aborda un área de la experiencia masónica, estableciendo un paralelismo con las experiencias que cada uno de nosotros encuentra en su propia vida. El autor proporciona prácticas sencillas para ayudar a interiorizar y personalizar las enseñanzas presentadas, entre las que se incluyen el trabajo con sueños, la escritura de un diario, la meditación, la oración y la comprensión de la arquitectura sagrada. El autor también examina la elaboración y el uso de las herramientas espirituales y simbólicas de la masonería, como el tablero de caballete o de trazado y la Cámara de Reflexión. Al proveer las herramientas para hacer de la Orden una experiencia iniciática de superación personal, el autor señala que la experiencia masónica es, en definitiva, la búsqueda humana de la autorrealización y la autoexpresión, así cada uno de nosotros podrá encontrar su lugar en el Templo de la Sabiduría.

La importancia de llamarse Ernesto / El abanico de lady Windermere - Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) es para muchos la figura emblemática del dandi inglés. Pero esa imagen del artista del esteticismo extremado también se vincula a la figura perseguida por la hipócrita moral dominante de su tiempo. Durante décadas después de su muerte, Wilde fue objeto de controversia y, a pesar de la condena judicial y moral a la que fue sometido, el interés del público por su obra no decreció. Su producción abarca casi todos los géneros literarios (novela, cuento, ensayo, poesía), pero es en sus obras teatrales donde despliega todo su talento artístico, como lo demuestran La importancia de llamarse Ernesto y El abanico de lady Windermere. Wilde se sirvió en ellas de las convenciones y temas del teatro de su tiempo, especialmente del melodrama y de la comedia de costumbres del teatro clásico inglés, pero, gracias al ingenio verbal que le caracterizaba y a su singular capacidad para reírse de la realidad circundante sin causar la reacción negativa del público, logró trascender sus modelos y dignificar un género que se hallaba en decadencia artística.

Estamos viviendo los últimos tiempos; las señales bíblicas que anuncian la segunda venida de Cristo se están cumpliendo ante nuestros ojos. Sin embargo, ¡no hay razón para temer!

Ésta es una historia de amor, o sea de celos, de sexo, de traiciones y también de las debilidades y paradojas de la vida cotidiana de dos parejas cuyos destinos se entrelazan. Los celos de Teresa por Tomás, el terco amor de éste por ella, opuesto a su irrefrenable deseo de otras mujeres, el idealismo de Franz, amante de Sabina, y la necesidad de ésta, amante también de Tomás, de perseguir una libertad que tan sólo la conduce a la insoportable levedad del ser, se convierten de simple anécdota en reflexión sobre problemas que nos afectan a todos.

This book is about the apocalypse, and how humans have always believed it to be very f*cking nigh.Across thousands of years, we ll meet weird cults, failed prophets and mass panics, holy warriors leading revolts in anticipation of the last days, and suburbanites waiting for aliens to rescue them from a doomed Earth. We ll journey back to the worst period to be alive , as the world reeled from a simultaneous pandemic and climate crisis. And we ll look to the future to ask the unnerving question: how might it all end?But it s also a book about how we live in a world where catastrophe is always looming - whether it s a madman with a nuclear button or the slow burn of environmental collapse.Because when we talk about the end of the world, what we really mean is the end of our world. Our obsession with doomsday is really about change: our fear of it, and our desire for it, and how - ultimately - we can find hope in it.

The Ocean at the End of the Lane - Neil Gaiman

A special Christmas edition of the Sunday Times bestseller.WINNER OF THE SPECSAVERS NATIONAL BOOK AWARDS 2013 BOOK OF THE YEARThe Ocean at the End of the Lane is the bestselling magical novel from Neil Gaiman, one of the most brilliant storytellers of our generation and author of the epic novel American Gods, and the much-loved Sandman series. Possibly Gaiman s most lyrical, scary and beautiful work yet. It s a tale of childhood for grown-ups, a fantasy rooted in the darkest corners of reality (Independent on Sunday). If you loved the mesmerising world of Erin Morgenstern s The Night Circus or were drawn into J.K. Rowling s magical universe, this book is for you. It began for our narrator forty years ago when the family lodger stole their car and committed suicide in it, stirring up ancient powers best left undisturbed. Dark creatures from beyond this world are on the loose, and it will take everything our narrator has just to stay alive: there is primal horror here, and menace unleashed - within his family and from the forces that have gathered to destroy it. His only defence is three women, on a farm at the end of the lane. The youngest of them claims that her duckpond is an ocean. The oldest can remember the Big Bang.The Ocean at the End of the Lane is a fable that reshapes modern fantasy: moving, terrifying and elegiac - as pure as a dream, as delicate as a butterfly s wing, as dangerous as a knife in the dark.

The End of Enlightenment - Whatmore Richard

The Enlightenment is popularly seen as the Age of Reason, a key moment in human history when ideals such as freedom, progress, natural rights and constitutional government prevailed. In this radical re-evaluation, historian Richard Whatmore shows why, for many at its centre, the Enlightenment was a profound failure. By the early eighteenth century, hope was widespread that Enlightenment could be coupled with toleration, the progress of commerce and the end of the fanatic wars of religion that were destroying Europe. At its heart was the battle to establish and maintain liberty in free states – and the hope that absolute monarchies such as France and free states like Britain might even subsist together, equally respectful of civil liberties. Yet all of this collapsed when states pursued wealth and empire by means of war. Xenophobia was rife and liberty itself turned fanatic. The End of Enlightenment traces the changing perspectives of economists, philosophers, politicians and polemicists around the world, including figures as diverse as David Hume, Adam Smith, Edmund Burke and Mary Wollstonecraft. They had strived to replace superstition with reason, but witnessed instead terror and revolution, corruption, gross commercial excess and the continued growth of violent colonialism. Returning us to these tumultuous events and ideas, and digging deep into the thought of the men and women who defined their age, Whatmore offers a lucid exploration of disillusion and intellectual transformation, a brilliant meditation on our continued assumptions about the past, and a glimpse of the different ways our world might be structured - especially as the problems addressed at the end of Enlightenment are still with us today.

Dead of Summer - Jessa Maxwell

Years after her best friend mysteriously disappeared from a remote New England island, a young woman returns in search of answers in this atmospheric and scintillating thriller from Jessa Maxwell, nationally bestselling author of the “deliciously entertaining” (Sarah Penner, New York Times bestselling author) The Golden Spoon. Orla O’Connor hasn’t been to the isolated New England enclave of Hadley Island since she graduated from high school a decade ago. As a teenager, her best friend Alice disappeared from its shores without a trace—but with plenty of rumors. Now, Orla returns to her family’s beachfront home to clean it out before her parents sell it. The island and her best friend’s house next door, abandoned after her family left in grief, are stirring up memories she would like to avoid. Then there are the locals, always gossiping and watching Orla’s every move. Worst of all, David, Orla’s childhood crush and son of a wealthy Manhattan family, is back for the summer with his new, impossibly pretty girlfriend, Faith. Faith suspects that David is going to propose but as soon as she settles into his family’s sprawling Hadley Island estate, she feels out of place. She anticipated a luxurious summer of fun and romance, but David is never around—lured into business conversations with his entrepreneur father from dawn to dusk. With nothing else to do, Faith begins to investigate the island’s dark past, curious about what really happened to Alice all those years ago. Meanwhile, local Henry hasn’t left his house since the young girl went missing, in an attempt to let the accusations against him die down. Except they never have. For years, Henry has had an endless supply of time to pursue his only hobby, watching the island from his telescope and recording the activities of its inhabitants. But Orla’s return has shaken him and lately he’s been seeing strange things: shadowy figures walking on the beach in the middle of the night and a light on in the upstairs window of the long-abandoned house of the missing girl. When there’s another disappearance on the island, all three find themselves pulled into an eerie and twisty mystery that will haunt them for the rest of their lives.
