The Power of Coincidence: The Mysterious Role of Synchronicity in Shaping Our Lives
A valuable guide book that... leads us, step by step, into communication with our deeper subconscious nature and nudges open the gate to our inner self. - Dale Graff Frank Joseph boldly and eloquently connects us to a larger world. - Thomas Ropp We have all experienced inexplicable coincidences, whether it's a particular number cropping up again and again, or thinking about an old friend only for them to call us the next second. While individually these coincidences may seem trivial, when seen in the bigger picture of their role in our lives they can assume startling magnitudes of meaning. The Power of Coincidence reveals that such events are not random, but crucial pieces in the puzzle of our lives. Author Frank Joseph shows us how to recognize instances of meaningful coincidence (or 'synchronicity' as it was called by Jung) and the guidance they offer in finding our true path in life. Frank Joseph provides practical ways to identify and decode significant coincidences. By offering hundreds of compelling examples, he leads us, step by step, into communication with our deeper subconscious nature and nudges open the gate to our inner self - to the domain of synchronicity.
Dostoevsky
A magnificent one-volume abridgement of one of the greatest literary biographies of our time Joseph Frank's award-winning, five-volume Dostoevsky is widely recognized as the best biography of the writer in any language—and one of the greatest literary biographies of the past half-century. Now Frank's monumental, 2,500-page work has been skillfully abridged and condensed in this single, highly readable volume with a new preface by the author. Carefully preserving the original work's acclaimed narrative style and combination of biography, intellectual history, and literary criticism, Dostoevsky: A Writer in His Time illuminates the writer's works—from his first novel Poor Folk to Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov—by setting them in their personal, historical, and above all ideological context. More than a biography in the usual sense, this is a cultural history of nineteenth-century Russia, providing both a rich picture of the world in which Dostoevsky lived and a major reinterpretation of his life and work.
