"The Duchess of York wished to have the portraits of the most beautiful women at Court," Anthony Hamilton wrote in the Memoirs of Count Grammont. "Lely painted them, and employed all his art in the execution. He could not have had more alluring sitters. Every portrait is a masterpiece." The original set of "Beauties" painted by Lely were, as we find from James II's catalogue, eleven in number, their names being Barbara, Duchess of Cleveland (ne'e Villiers); Frances, Duchess of Richmond and Lennox (ne'e Stuart); Mrs. Jane Myddleton (ne'e Needham); Elizabeth, Countess of Northumberland (ne'e Wriothesley); Elizabeth, Countess of Falmouth (ne'e Bagot); Elizabeth, Lady Denham (ne'e Brooke); Frances, Lady Whitmore (ne'e Brooke); Henrietta, Countess of Rochester (ne'e Boyle); Elizabeth, Countess de Grammont (ne'e Hamilton); and Madame d'Orleans. It will be seen that in this list of "Beauties" Anne Hyde, Duchess of York, does not figure; but since she was responsible for the collection, it would be peculiarly ungracious to omit her from a volume that treats of it. Also, she deserves inclusion for her supreme courage in selecting the sitters--for what must the ladies who were not chosen have said and thought of her? Nor in the series are Nell Gwyn, Louise de Ke'roualle, and the Duchess Mazarin; but no account of the social life of the Court of Charles II can possibly omit mention of them, and therefore something has been said about each of these ladies. The new Revised Edition restores Melville's masterpiece of the intricate relationships and day-by-day account of court life in the reign of Charles II of England. This edition also adds a new glossary, bibliography, and extended footnotes for the lay history reader. Also included are first-ever translations of French language poems, letters, and epitaphs completed by Coby Fletcher. More information at www.VictorianHeritage.com

Far out in the ocean the water is as blue as the petals of the loveliest cornflower, and as clear as the purest glass. But it is very deep too. It goes down deeper than any anchor rope will go, and many, many steeples would have to be stacked one on top of another to reach from the bottom to the surface of the sea. It is down there that the sea folk live. Now don't suppose that there are only bare white sands at the bottom of the sea. No indeed! The most marvelous trees and flowers grow down there, with such pliant stalks and leaves that the least stir in the water makes them move about as though they were alive. All sorts of fish, large and small, dart among the branches, just as birds flit through the trees up here. From the deepest spot in the ocean rises the palace of the sea king. Its walls are made of coral and its high pointed windows of the clearest amber, but the roof is made of mussel shells that open and shut with the tide. This is a wonderful sight to see, for every shell holds glistening pearls, any one of which would be the pride of a queen's crown.

Suntem pe deplin convini c Nietzsche i Marea Amiaz sau aceast absolut original, curajoas Religie a Viului se vor nscrie nu numai printre exegezele importante, necesare n acest moment literaturii contemporane, ci va propune i un alt stil al interpretrii, repetm nc o dat, extrem de curajos, al autoarei, deoarece se aplic, vine n urma unor mari hermeneui, exersndu-se pe texte despre care nu se mai poate spune nimic!, ar exclama orice neofit. Acest curaj, credem noi, nc o dat, i este druit literalmente Aurei Christi, cci ea nu ezit s se scufunde n ntregime n baia fierbinte sau insuportabil de rece, de glacial, a unor texte, care, dei scrise i publicate cu un secol sau dou nainte, ne apar mereu n fa.“ (Nicolae Breban) Aura Christi construiete un religios redimensionat spre mit: ca i cum, trecnd istmul ontologic dintre pioenie i exuberan, Iisus devine Dionysos, ntr-un palimpsest cultural care pe muli i exaspereaz. Interpretarea operei brebaniene ca propunere mitic face parte din acelai registru, tot aa cum marginea diafan a mitului reapare obsesiv n numeroase alte eseuri, transformnd ntreaga carte ntr-o tulburtoare i foarte vie mitoconstrucie personal.“ (tefan Borbély)http://aurachristi.ro/

Recapitulm altdat spusele lui Rainer Maria Rilke referitoare la generaii cu un amestec de uimire i spaima; astfel, autorul Elegiilor duineze – scrise, e tiut, pe ntinderea a mai bine de un deceniu – susine c se succed mereu trei generaii:1) cea care l-a gsit pe Dumnezeu;2) cea care construiete temple;3) cea care smulge pietre din templele nlate pentru a ridica colibe.Acum ns, depind uimirea, spaima, susin aceleai lucruri emise i odinioar, lucruri de care sunt aproape sigura mai ales atunci cnd sunt eu nsmi: nu tiu dac l-am gsit pe Dumnezeu; cnd mi se pare ca l simt aproape, n mine, l pierd, l pun la ndoial, m cert“ cu el, imaginez psalmi n rspr; mi-a dori/vreau s cred. Nu sunt sigur c voi avea fora s construiesc n continuare templul meu din cuvinte. Dar tiu ca nu voi smulge pietre din temple strine pentru a construi colibe. Aceasta siguran, chiar dac fragil, chiar dac se susine, se construiete din mers, poate fi semnul unui nceput.Am adunat – la ndemnul editorului meu – aceste dialoguri, selectate din nu puine altele, realizate n timp, ntr-o carte, ntruct ele constituie semnele unei treceri, semnele efortului susinut de a construi un destin; unul literar, desigur. Nu tiu dac aceste dialoguri, constituite n exerciii de destin, fcute n siajul lui Ignaiu de Loyola, pe urmele Sfntului Augustin, sunt convingtoare; pentru mine ele rmn a fi circumscrise foamei (pn la un punct, unamunoiene) de a fi. Ceea ce probabil nu este deloc puin. E limpede ns c timpul, critica, lectorii urmeaz s judece dac aceste exerciii rezist, dac, n adevr, sunt semnele unui destin literar.“ (Aura Christi)O istorie a mentalitilor predominante n perioada post-decembrist.

Romanele Aurei Christi, ample construc?ii epice, abordeaz?, cu un curaj ?i maturitate rar?, modelul ?i aria expresiv? ?i ideatic? a romanului de reflexivitate ?i problematic? grav?, uman?, de la M.

Acela?i, Dostoievski, de data asta al?turat lui Friedrich Nietzsche, face obiectul unor ample studii eseistice, pe care Aura Christi le-a conceput ?i publicat ?n ultimii ani, abord?nd teme de o rar? ?ndr?zneal? ideatic?, problematica esen?ial? a individului ?n abisalitatea sa, a Fiin?ei, arta complicat?, prezent?nd ?nc? nu pu?ine mistere ?i paradoxuri psihologice ale tipologiei romane?ti moderne, de la cu adev?rat revolu?ionara ? la recherche du temps perdu la Idiotul ?i Crim? ?i pedeaps?.?n publistica ei curent?, sus?inut?, Aura Christi sprijin?, polemic adeseori, cultul valorilor clasice ?i moderne europene ?i refuz? improviza?iile ?i impostura literar? care, ?n actualitatea post-comunist?, tresare ?n c?mpul literar rom?nesc ?n varii forme, de la contestarea, de plano, a marilor modele moderne lirice ale continentului ?i cultivarea unui mizerabilism ?i a brutalit??ii expresiei ce se cufund? ?i abund? nu rareori ?n tonuri suburbane, sclipind triumf?tor ?n accente arogante ce vor s? instaleze un fel de triumf al tinere?ii ?protestatar-revolu?ionare“ culturale ?i preiau, f?r? sim? critic, ?ntr-o afi?at? incultur? poetic?, cu o anume voluptate, simboluri ?i expresii france, voit pornografice, din recuzita avangardist? ?i futurist? a literaturii ?nceputului de secol XX. (Nicolae Breban)O mistic? de halou dostoievskian domin? obsedant destinele eroilor din romanul Aurei Christi, Cercul s?lbatic. (…) E, ?n felul s?u, un roman al cuplurilor ce se fac ?i se desfac, se men?in c?t ?i cum se men?in ?n virtutea unor automatisme ?n care iubirea este c?utat?, mimat?, tr?dat?, ea r?m?n?nd mereu o iluzie sau o speran?? virtual?, ?ntre via?? ?i moarte. Se vorbe?te mult despre moarte ?n acest roman. Existen?a ?ns??i e parcurs? sub semnul acesteia. (Constantin Cuble?an)Poate aici este imensul merit al Cercului… M-a supus unui exerci?iu deloc facil de a formula motive pentru care merit? s? tr?ie?ti. ?i nu ?n fa?a unui om care ur??te via?a, n?uc, sau e dezgustat de ceea ce i se pare a fi via?a. Ci ?n fa?a acestei fete-femei, Diana, care caut? profund sensul, care iube?te florile, apa, arta. At?t de plin? de via?? e creatura aceasta (…), ?nc?t preaplinul acesta o consum? ?i o arunc? ?n moarte. Diana arat? c? nu e simplu s? tr?ie?ti la altitudinea aceea uria?? a foamei de via??, a puterii uria?e de a tr?i. Setea ei de via?? ?i frumuse?e ?i lini?te o expune, o face fragil?… Naufragiul ei e produs de apele grele ?i ur?te ale unei lumi neatente, nep?s?toare p?n? la agresiune fizic?… O lume de fiare, ?n care nimeni nu ofer? protec?ie puilor.

Poate o imens? responsabilitate ar trebui luat? pe umerii mei ?i nu numai ai mei! Poate c? oamenii frumo?i, ca Diana, au o for?? neb?nuit? ?n fragilitatea lor.

Simona Drgan are fora de a supune textele de autoritate asupra crora se apleac unei lecturi personale, “vede“ ideile n intricaia lor originar, le restructureaz n conformitate cu propriul ei scenariu. in sa apreciez faptul c, n ciuda tematicii sale, lucrarea de fa nu este arid, nu sufer (dect n proporii acceptabile) de acea placiditate stilistic, inevitabil analizelor teoretice. Capacitatea de sintez, spiritul critic, precizia terminologic, luciditatea i supleea, calmul operator, toate acestea atest o cert vocaie teoretic“. (Mircea Martin)Cum se ntmpl cnd o ecuaie care a umilit cerbicia multor duzini de matematicieni i afl mintea capabil s-i dea de capt, mprtim n cazul de fa bucuria unei revelaii: pare ca Foucault i consorii, cei ce n loc de scrieri i texte au inventat uzul sofisticat al scriiturii i discursului, au ntlnit n autoarea de fa un autentic partener de dialog. Avem a face cu o lucrare fr caracter compilativ, demonstrnd o amprent personal, o anumit prospeime a observaiei directe, un soi de entuziasm agreabil al dezbaterii de idei, care se transmite i cititorului, smulgndu-l reflexelor lui sceptice ori obosite“. (Paul Cornea)n opinia mea, un merit major al Simonei Drgan este acela de a reui, ntr-o manier indubitabil personal, sa exprime, cu o elegan a claritii ce se remarc de la prima la ultima pagin a lucrrii, unele dintre cele mai complicate, ca sa nu spunem “stufoase“, idei formulate vreodat n perimetrul tiinelor filologice“.

A varied selection of poems, mainly humurous, some serious, but they all rhyme!

Written during World War I by Harry Brodribb Irving, this is a study of the crimes of some of the world's most infamous criminals. Irving spent much of his life in the theatre, and his flair for the dramatic is displayed in his writings.He went on to found 'Our Society' with, amongst others, Sherlock Holmes creator Arthur Conan Doyle. 'Our Society' survives today as the so called 'Murder' Club in London, where old crimes are discussed at regularly held dinners.

Mergnd pe linia lui Adrian Punescu, autorul volumului abordeaz aceeai atitudine fa de cititorii obinuii ca i marele su nainta. Ioan Popa, membru al Uniunii Scriitorilor din Romnia, privete lirica din perspectiva cititorului de rnd. El i exprim sentimentele i ideile n aa fel, nct s fie neles de toat lumea. Abordeaz subiecte din viaa de zi cu zi a fiecruia dintre noi, vorbete de mersul la cumprturi, de evoluiile vieii politice, de divor, beii, scandaluri, aglomeraie urban i cte i mai cte. Adic aduce n poezie situaiile i strile sufleteti crora trebuie s le facem fa zilnic cu toii.Poetul are o solid formaie clasic i, n scrierile sale, apar i referine la antichitate, fie c acestea in de istorie, fie c in de mit. n acest fel, de multe ori elementele efemerului, ale derizoriului, ajung s ating o rezonan universal. ns exprimarea este lipsit de preiozitate, are simplitatea i transparena pe care cititorul nesofisticat de poezie le simte ca fiindu-i familiare.Scriind pentru toi cititorii de poezie, Ioan Popa continu o tradiie romneasc nobil. S amintim numai de mult iubiii notri poei George Cobuc, Ion Minulescu, George Toprceanu, Adrian Punescu. Oricare dintre noi intr uor n rezonan cu poeziile lor i le ptrunde nelesul fr s dispun de o aparatur complicat de receptare i interpretare.Fiind uor de neles, poeziile lui Ioan Popa se citesc cu bucurie i plcere – i cu un zmbet n colul gurii.“ – Vasile Poenaru

First Class Phonics is a series of books designed to help children quickly become proficient readers and writers.These books use Synthetic Phonics, a high-quality teaching method recognised all over the world. In Synthetic Phonics, children focus on the skills that enable them to read and spell words accurately. They recognise the importance of every sound they hear in the spoken word and learn to blend these sounds so that they can read words from the very beginning of the program.It is essential that children develop the ability to hear, identify and manipulate individual sounds in order to read fluently. This book provides a range of fun activities to ensure this happens.Book 4 introduces more diagraphs (two-letter sounds) and trigraphs (three-letter sounds). It covers the sounds air, ve, ow (owl), oy, wh, ea, ur, ear, ai, ew, aw, ow (blow), y and oi. It teaches the tricky words come, some, where, why, what and here. The last chapter contains a story that uses only words built from the sounds taught in this book.

Nigel Flaxton enjoyed a satisfying career in education covering the second half of the 20th century, This is an account of some of his experiences from old-fashioned monastic seclusion in training college just after the Second World War to three headships of new schools, the last being an upper school of over 900 students. Written with gentle humour, often at his own expense, he also comments on the very considerable changes in education in a broad sense during that period. He includes nearly two years in the RAF, to which he was frustratingly called up shortly after he qualified and his unprecedented promotion to Sergeant after one year. .Following what he expected was retirement he continued with government initiatives encouraging greater use of modern technology in schools, then further part-time support to schools using timetable software. This is not just a book for professionals. It will be of interest to anyone who enjoys reading other people's personal memoirs, especially someone with an obvious sense of humour.

A fascinating look at the life of the notorious criminal John 'Jack' Sheppard, the original 'Jack the Lad', believed to have been ghostwritten by the author of Robinson Crusoe, Daniel Defoe. Sheppard was active in early 18th century London, and became famous for escaping from jail no less than four times.

In this increasingly violent and troubled world, people demand to be respected. But what is exactly is respect? Is it learned or earned? How do you go from being a 'nobody' to a 'somebody'? How do you respect others and equally how can you get other people to respect you? Can you only be truly respected if you have a reputation? There is probably no one more qualified to talk about respect and reputation in prison than Charles Bronson. Tagged one of the most violent prisoners in the UK, Charlie has spent over thirty years in solitary confinement, is respected by both prisoners and wardens alike and has a fearsome and frightening reputation. In complete contrast, although he has spent much of his life surrounded by violence, former bouncer and bodyguard Robin Barratt would now prefer to take a passive path away from any conflict. In this fascinating book, Barratt and Bronson examine in detail respect and reputation including how to behave in prison, how to treat other prisoners, how to be a great door supervisor, when to show respect, how to gain the respect of others and ultimately how to develop an awesome reputation both in prison, on the doors and in life generally. With lots of real life anecdotes as well as contributions from many other hard men (and a few women), this gripping book takes its reader into the psychology of a world rarely explored.
