At the beginning a misconception must be removed from the path. Many people, if not most, look on literary taste as an elegant accomplishment, by acquiring which they will complete themselves, and make themselves finally fit as members of a correct society. They are secretly ashamed of their ignorance of literature, in the same way as they would be ashamed of their ignorance of etiquette at a high entertainment, or of their inability to ride a horse if suddenly called upon to do so. There are certain things that a man ought to know, or to know about, and literature is one of them.

The secret significance of journalism: life (says the public) is dull. But good newspapers are a report of life, and good newspapers are not dull. A practical guide for those who are outside and would fain be inside, a newspaper office.

Once upon a time a great and powerful King married a lovely Princess. No couple were ever so happy; but before their honeymoon was over they were forced to part, for the King had to go on a warlike expedition to a far country, and leave his young wife alone at home. Bitter were the tears she shed, while her husband sought in vain to soothe her with words of comfort and counsel, warning her, above all things, never to leave the castle...

An Irish Fiction Omnibus is a collection of three bestselling novels from Orna Ross, perfect for fans of The Irish Heart series by Juliet Gauvin and An Irish Family Saga series by Jean Reinhardt. After the Rising, book one in The Irish Trilogy is a historical murder mystery of love, revenge and redemption. Twenty years ago, Jo Devereux fled Mucknamore, the small Irish village where she grew up, driven away by buried secrets and hatreds, swearing never to return Now she is back and wants to uncover the truth… What really happened between her family and their friends, the O’Donovans, during the Ireland’s bitter Civil War? The consequences of that bitter division in the 1920s carried down into Jo’s own life, shattering her relationship with Rory O’Donovan, the only man she ever loved, and driving her to leave Ireland. Now, Jo’s estranged mother has died, leaving her a suitcase full of letters and diaries that seem answer some questions about the past. Over the course of a long hot summer, Jo is astonished to read about her grandmother and great-aunt, their part in Ireland’s fight for freedom and the repercussions that echoed throughout their lives. She has learned how the passion of rebellion sweeps people up but what happens after the rising? Her Secret Rose is the first book in The Yeats-Gonne Trilogy, chronicling the passionate relationship between W.B. Yeats and Maud Gonne.? Willie Yeats was 23 years old in 1889, when Maud Gonne, six feet tall, elegantly beautiful and passionately political, came calling to his house and “the troubling of his life” began.? He spread his dreams under her feet, as they set about creating a new Ireland, through his poetry and her politics, and their shared interest in the occult. Packed with emotional twists and surprises, Her Secret Rose is a novel of secrets and intrigue, passion and politics, mystery and magic, that brings to life 1890s Dublin, London and Paris, two fascinating characters — and a charismatic love affair that altered the course of history for two nations. Blue Mercy is a literary family drama, with a murder at its heart, full of emotional twists and surprises. When Mercy Mulcahy was 40 years old, she was accused of killing her elderly and tyrannical father. Now, at the end of her life, she has written a book about what really happened on that fateful night of Christmas Eve, 1989. The tragic and beautiful Mercy has devoted her life to protecting Star, especially from the father whose behavior so blighted her own life. Yet Star vehemently resists reading her manuscript. Why? What is Mercy hiding? Was her father's death an assisted suicide? Or something more sinister? In this book, nothing is what it seems on the surface and everywhere there are emotional twists and surprises. Will you side with mother or daughter?

Set in Edwardian London, Night and Day contrasts the daily lives and romantic attachments of two acquaintances, Katharine Hilbery and Mary Datchet.

Charles Dickens wrote this book for his own children hoping to help them bye and bye, to read with interest larger and better books on the same subject. The history covers the period between 50 BC and 1689, ending with a chapter summarising events from then until the accession of Queen Victoria. The book is considered one of the finest English history texts.

letünk biztonsága trékeny, nem élhetjük le veszteségek nélkül. Le kell mondanunk remek munkahelyekrl, kedves barátokról, st, talán meghitt otthonunkról, megtaláltnak hitt szerelmünkrl, értékes egészségünkrl, szeretett hozzátartozónkról. Sokan, akiket súlyos veszteség ért, mindent szívesen eldobnának, ha visszakaphatnák, amit elveszítettek. Mások azonban egy id után úgy tekintenek ezekre a fájdalmas trésekre, mint szükséges fordulatokra, amik tovább terelték ket sorsuk kiteljesedése felé. A Veszteségek ajándéka cím knyvben emberek mesélik el élettrténetüket, akiket súlyos csapások értek, de hosszabb-rvidebb id után felismerték, hogy ezeket hogyan fordítsák nmaguk megersítésére, fejlesztésére. Ezek a trténetek ert adnak, utat mutatnak nekünk. Jó lenne megtanulnunk, hogy ne csupán megkeseredett túléli legyünk saját életünk kisebb-nagyobb veszteségeink vagy olykor tragikus eseményeinek, hanem képesek legyünk észrevenni és elfogadni mindezek ajándékait is. Ha ez sikerül, akár mások támaszai is lehetünk, olyanoké, akik még nem tudtak rálépni a megersdés svényére

A n?i szexualitás és a n?k saját testéhez való viszonyában kulcselem a bizonytalanság. Sosem tudhatom igazán, hogy éppen mi t?rténik bennem. A bizonytalanságból pedig egyfajta szorongás fakad: ha nem hiszek magamban, nem hiszek a testemben, akkor máshol kell keresnem a biztonságérzetet. De nincs is abban semmi meglep?, hogy nem tanulunk meg ??nállóan” viszonyulni a testünkh?z, hiszen a mindennapi élet szintjén születésünk pillanatától kezdve kül?nb?z? társadalmi intézmények gyakorolják a kontrollt a testünk felett. El?sz?r el kell sajátítanunk, mi mindent kezdhetünk a testünkkel, ha megsz?nnek az azt uraló autoritások. Azonban ez meglehet?sen bonyolult. Hiszen nem tudjuk magunkat egy csapásra függetleníteni a társadalomtól és annak intézményeit?l – az orvoslástól, a pszichológiától, a pedagógiától, a médiától – a világtól, amelyben élünk. Nem beszélve arról, hogy a szex testi vonatkozásai mellett jogos igényként merül fel bennünk az intimitás, a szerelem vagy épp az elfogadás vágya. A menstruáció, az orgazmus, a várandósság, a szülés, a gyermekágy, a szoptatás vagy a menopauza látszólag biológiai t?rténései éppúgy hatással vannak az ?nértékelésünkre, párkapcsolatunkra, mint a családi életünkre. Ráadásul a fejünkben mítoszok élnek arról, hogy mi a normális. Ahelyett, hogy a saját vágyainkat, ?r?münket, intimitásunkat élnék meg, vélt vagy valós elvárásoknak próbálunk megfelelni. Pedig a szexben nincs jó vagy rossz. Ez a k?nyv is ebben a szellemben íródott, n?k ezerféle arcát szeretné megmutatni. Mester Dóra Djamila N?, anya, szeret?, amat?r fotós, k?zgazdász, hobbikertész, társadalomkutató és szexedukátor. Egy ?szex-pozitív” misszió aktivistája. K?zépiskolákban, diákotthonokban kamaszokkal beszélget szexr?l, szerelemr?l; személyes konzultációkat tart, rádióm?sort vezet, ír és beszélget, ahol csak lehet. Ahogy magáról állítja, ?hangosan gondolkodik a szexr?l”, és minden lehetséges fórumon kísérletezik egy nyitott, el?ítélet-mentes és alapvet?en pozitív szexbeszéd megteremtésével.
