The only narrative about Jesus by eyewitnesses, this is also one of the world's greatest literary works. The unfinished text was spirited off to Sinope when the author was sent into exile. Even there the hand of Rome nearly destroyed it. Rescued 35 years later, the author's spiritual heirs published it. While in Sinope some pages got lost or disordered. After publication various editors changed the manuscript repeatedly to suit the changing doctrines of early Christianity, even adding spurious new material. Thus the standard text is an inspiring mess, but still a mess. This translation restores not the unfinished original text, but the masterpiece the author sought to compose: a first-hand account of a real man sent to urge humanity to accept God's will, set down before doctrine repackaged him as an incarnate deity. Volume One contains the carefully restored text and a history of the gospel. Volume Two includes commentaries that burnish this masterpiece for the modern reader.
Après Marie Madeleine, la conscience éternelle, son premier livre sur Myriam de Magdala, Carole Aliya nous offre d’être au plus près de la Femme Sacrée qui vient nous bousculer par son rôle et sa mission auprès de Jésus et des apôtres. Femme parmi les femmes, elle se donne à l’essentiel. Elle est disciple de l’Amour, embrassant l’Absolu de tout son être. Sa beauté intérieure et sa bonté sont présentes dans les textes sacrés. L’auteur propose de dévoiler tout l’amour qui existe au coeur de cette autre Marie, Marie de Magdala. Incomprise et insoumise, Elle virevolte dans les réjouissances de l’amour éternel. Un vent de Liberté souffle sur la terre d’Israël.
'The past is a foreign country' has become a truism, yet the past differs from the present in many unfamiliar ways and historical memory is extraordinarily imperfect. The degree to which we think of the European past as the history of France, Germany, Britain, Russia and so on, actually obstructs our view of former reality, and blunts our sensitivity to the ever-changing political landscape. Europe's past is littered with kingdoms, empires and republics which no longer exist but which were some of the most important entities of their day - 'the Empire of Aragon', which dominated the western Mediterranean in the thirteenth century, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the largest country in Europe f...
Norman Davies zabiera nas w oszałamiającą podróż przez wieki dziejów. Pokazuje egzotyczne stolice i mówiące niemal wymarłymi językami narody. Przedstawia nam nieznaną historię Europy, ale i opowiada o nas samych: o Galicji, Prusach, Wielkim Księstwie Litewskim. Czy jakiś inny historyk miałby na tyle wyobraźni, żeby połączyć ze sobą upadek ZSRR, historię Gdańska i państwo barbarzyńskich Wizygotów? Po lekturze Zaginionych Królestw nikt już nie będzie mógł traktować uporządkowanego świata historii ze szkolnych podręczników jak prawdy objawionej. Burgundia nie będzie kojarzyć się wyłącznie z winem, a Aragonia z Aragornem z Tolkienowskiego Władcy Pierścieni. Nie trzeba już chyba nikogo przekonywać, że proza Normana Daviesa to literacka uczta. Ale Norman Davies potrafi też dzięki swoim książkom czegoś nas nauczyć. Zaginione Królestwa uzmysławiają, że historia nieustannie kotłuje się i bynajmniej nie zmierza do „końca”. Wręcz przeciwnie, nie miejmy wątpliwości, świat wokół nas wcześniej czy później odejdzie w przeszłość. Tak jak odeszły światy, które Norman Davies ożywia w Zaginionych Królestwach.
France is one of the most visited countries in the world -- and one of the least known. This book takes you beyond the superficial coverage of conventional guidebooks -- history, architecture, etc. -- in search of the deeper truths. A Guide to Mystical France takes you deep under the psychic skin of France into the invisible dimensions that our materialistic world does its best to ignore. Science stops at the most interesting questions. To describe, say a painted prehistoric cave as a sacred space used for ritual is to beg more questions than it answers. It is impossible to fully appreciate the cathedral of Notre-Dame, Mont St Michel, or the alignments of Carnac if you do not understand the ...
