Peter Deunov as Remembered by Milka Periklieva
This book, Peter Deunov, as Remembered by Milka Periklieva - a Disciple, presents a selection of Milka's reminiscences in order to give a personal impression of the Master. The author, Milka Periklieva (1908-1978), was born in Bulgaria in the Black Sea coastal town of Varna. When she was fourteen years old, Milka became interested in the teaching of the Master, Peter Deunov (1864-1944), who had the spiritual name of Beinsa Douno. A kindergarten teacher by profession, Milka also wrote educational stories and plays for children according to the teaching and methods of the Master, and with his personal guidance. At the Master's request, in 1937, she recorded the movements of his spiritual dance, the Paneurhythmy, which became the basis of a book that was published the following year.

Women of Honour
The role of women in the Italian mafias has long been overlooked. So who are they? Pure and virtuous Madonnas or dangerous Godmothers? Reduced to victim status and relegated to domestic life, women serve as the mafia's respectable facade: virtuous and docile. But, as Milka Kahn and Anne Veron reveal in this absorbing book, women have always been at the heart of Italy's criminal organisations. While the men are behind bars or on the run, it is left to their wives and mothers to uphold and pass on the 'family values'. Once widowed, some push their sons to vendetta; others become mafia chiefs in their own right. Yet many also decide to risk their lives, collaborating with the authorities and renouncing mafia society in search of normality.Through first-hand accounts of submission, complicity and revolt, Women of Honour paints a complex and fascinating portrait of the women in Italy's mafias who have overcome a culture of silence to share their extraordinary stories.--
