Описание: Much of what we know and feel about the First World War we owe to Vera Brittain s elegiac yet unsparing book, which set a standard for memoirists from Martha Gellhorn to Lillian Hellman. Abandoning her studies at Oxford in 1915 to enlist as a nurse in the armed services, Brittain served in London, in Malta, and on the Western Front. By war s end she had lost virtually everyone she loved. "Testament of Youth" is both a record of what she lived through and an elegy for a vanished generation. Hailed by the "Times Literary Supplement" as a book that helped both form and define the mood of its time, it speaks to any generation that has been irrevocably changed by war.

Автор: Bouchard, Michel Malette, Sebastien Marcotte, Guillaume Название: Bois-brules ISBN: 0774862335 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780774862332 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 31730.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: We think of M?tis as having Prairie roots. Quebec doesn’t recognize a historical M?tis community, and the M?tis National Council contests the existence of any M?tis east of Ontario. Quebec residents who seek recognition as M?tis under the Canadian Constitution therefore face an uphill legal and political battle. Who is right? Bois-Br?l?s examines archival and ethnographic evidence to challenge two powerful nationalisms – M?tis and Qu?b?cois – that interpret M?tis identity in the province as “race-shifting.” This controversial work, previously available only in French, conclusively demonstrates that a M?tis community emerged in early-nineteenth-century Quebec and can be traced all the way to today.
"Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one." - Marcus Aurelius
The Stoics knew what made for a good person - and a good life. Four simple virtues empowered them to cope with the end of a relationship, the loss of a job, ill health and even bereavement. Now you can learn for yourself what gave them the emotional resilience to make the most of any situation.
Drawing upon the wisdom of renowned ancient philosophers, Stoicism updates this powerful philosophy for the modern world. Over the course of 15 chapters, you'll discover how the Stoics practised mindfulness centuries before its modern popularity, how you can find the opportunity in any challenge, how you can use your journal to transform your world and so much more
Written in plain English, Stoicism takes profound concepts and delivers them in bite-sized chunks anyone can understand, even if you're completely new to philosophy. Each chapter opens with a quote from a Stoic philosopher, then explores the topic in depth before providing practical exercises, meditations and visualisations so you can enjoy the benefits of Stoicism right away.
If you're looking for the answer to modern stresses and strains, you'll find it in Stoicism. As Epictetus said, "How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself?"
