Book excerpt: Mirror's Fathom is the story of Tycho Wilhelm Lund anarchist, pirate, and thief of a legendary mirror. Tycho is also a great-nephew of the Danish philosopher S ren Kierkegaard and is, when the novel begins, a mild-mannered antiques dealer who is asked to assess the value of some furniture at the home of Regine Schlegel, Kierkegaard's famously jilted former love. Upon his arrival, Tycho who has no interest in philosophy finds himself at a meeting of the Kierkegaard Circle, a group faithfully reading aloud Kierkegaard's works. There he meets, and falls for, Countess Juliana Sophie, herself a passionate follower of Kierkegaard's thinking and self-appointed mistress of the "School for Selves."
Download or read book Mirrors written by Eduardo Galeano and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2009-05-26 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout his career, Eduardo Galeano has turned our understanding of history and reality on its head. Isabelle Allende said his works "invade the reader's mind, to persuade him or her to surrender to the charm of his writing and power of his idealism." Mirrors, Galeano's most ambitious project since Memory of Fire, is an unofficial history of the world seen through history's unseen, unheard, and forgotten. As Galeano notes: "Official history has it that Vasco Núde Balboa was the first man to see, from a summit in Panama, the two oceans at once. Were the people who lived there blind??" Recalling the lives of artists, writers, gods, and visionaries, from the Garden of Eden to twenty-first-century New York, of the black slaves who built the White House and the women erased by men's fears, and told in hundreds of kaleidoscopic vignettes, Mirrors is a magic mosaic of our humanity.

Download or read book Mirrors of Self written by Jonathan P. Badgett and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-10-14 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orthodox Christology maintains that Jesus Christ is both truly God and truly human. As such, he is the key to knowing both God and self. In a series of applications of christological anthropology, Mirrors of Self develops this epistemic premise in dialogue with a diversity of Christian and secular, historical and modern perspectives. Aspects of human personhood, including the ever-elusive self, gain greater clarity and significance in the light of Christ's person and work. At the center of individual human subjectivity, we encounter a broken, sin-blinded self in need of renewal and release. What healing we find comes to us as Christ's ecological presence works in and through others--the mirrors of self whose instrumental agency Christ employs in service to his own redemptive ends.

Download or read book Textual Mirrors written by Dina Stein and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2012-10-08 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As they were entering Egypt, Abram glimpsed Sarai's reflection in the Nile River. Though he had been married to her for years, this moment is positioned in a rabbinic narrative as a revelation. "Now I know you are a beautiful woman," he says; at that moment he also knows himself as a desiring subject, and knows too to become afraid for his own life due to the desiring gazes of others. There are few scenes in rabbinic literature that so explicitly stage a character's apprehension of his or her own or another's literal reflection. Still, Dina Stein argues, the association of knowledge and reflection operates as a central element in rabbinic texts. Midrash explicitly refers to other texts; biblical texts are both reconstructed and taken apart in exegesis, and midrashic narrators are situated liminally with respect to the tales they tell. This inherent structural quality underlies the propensity of rabbinic literature to reflect or refer to itself, and the "self" that is the object of reflection is not just the narrator of a tale but a larger rabbinic identity, a coherent if polyphonous entity that emerges from this body of texts. Textual Mirrors draws on literary theory, folklore studies, and semiotics to examine stories in which self-reflexivity operates particularly strongly to constitute rabbinic identity through the voices of Simon the Just and a handsome shepherd, the daughter of Asher, the Queen of Sheba, and an unnamed maidservant. In Stein's readings, these self-reflexive stories allow us to go through the looking glass: where the text comments upon itself, it both compromises the unity of its underlying principles—textual, religious, and ideological—and confirms it.
Download or read book Gold Mirrors and Tongue Reflections written by Ioannis Solos and published by Singing Dragon. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two of the major texts in the history of tongue diagnosis are presented and put into context in this volume, reaffirming the strength of tongue diagnosis as a core diagnostic method. These key texts are made available to western readers for the first time, with typical, traditional Chinese editions reproduced alongside the translation. The author provides an excellent overview of the tongue diagnosis theories in the major classics prior to the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), and discusses significant developments and publications. The Gold Mirror Records, first published in 1341, was a popular manual for centuries, appearing in many editions and variations. Tongue Reflections in Cold Damage, first published in 1668, developed the field of diagnosis as a whole by adopting the analysis of tongue colour as its main principle. Both texts are introduced with meticulous English translations and notes. This seminal text will give practitioners and students of Chinese medicine a sound understanding of the theory and practice of tongue diagnosis from the early texts, and will be of interest to academic readers of classic Chinese texts.
Download or read book Shakespeare s Mirrors written by Edward Evans and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-26 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clear mirrors and The Geneva Bible, revolutionary innovations of the Elizabethan age, inspired Shakespeare’s drive towards a new purpose for drama. Shakespeare reversed the conventional mirror metaphor for drama, implying drama cannot reflect the substance of human nature, and developed a method of characterization, through metadrama, self-awareness and soliloquy, to project St. Paul’s idea of conscience onto the Elizabethan stage. This revolutionary method of characterization, aesthetic existence beyond performance, has long been sensed but remains frustratingly uncategorized. Shakespeare’s Mirrors charts the invention of a drama that staged the unstageable: St. Paul’s metaphysical conception of human nature glimpsed through a looking glass darkly.
Download or read book Shattered Mirrors written by Monroe E. Price and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AIDS is precipitating a fundamental re-examination of societal attitudes toward not only intimacy, but the way we think about ourselves, others, and government. This slim volume by the Dean of the School of Law at Yeshiva University raises well-reasoned questions on the broad ramifications of these changes. "As AIDS in its second decade becomes more and more a matter of class and race,'' Price says, a careful balance must be maintained between the individual, the church, and the state in areas of media, education, medicine, sexuality, privacy, and discrimination. We should prepare, however, for the likelihood of greater governmental intervention to preserve individual rights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tides have changed. Beneath the burning-sea, a voice is calling. Who will follow it? Separated from the Lawless Child and pursued by a monstrous Ki’rayh, Jarvis and his companions—the Messenger Hunter Titus and Kattamont prince Aaldryn, host to the volatile wind-god, Khamsin—are in a desperate race across the expanses of the burning-sea to reach the House of Flames before Coltarian erupts. For Human-machine hybrid Jarvis, his mission to deliver the vital Map-piece to the Key takes precedence over all else… except when his will is overridden by his protector-bot, programmed to respond to every distress signal. With the cries from the deep impossible to ignore, can his companions keep Jarvis from jeopardising his mission, his sanity, and his life? Jarvis has left his beloved Ki’b behind on the Lawless Child—safe with Denvy, Clive, and Penny… or so he believes. But, without the advantage of Khamsin’s winds, the misfit crew of the Lawless Child is forced to fight for their lives as every Pride in the area homes in on the ship of the Outlaw Queen Zafiashid. Can Denvy the legendary Gold Lion face his fears to save those he loves, or will he have to add their names to the scores of deaths he holds himself responsible for? Will the terrifying secrets of the burning-sea consume them all?
Download or read book Mirrors written by Naguib Mahfouz and published by American Univ in Cairo Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mirrors is one of Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz's more unusual works. First published in serialized form in the Egyptian television magazine, it consists of a series of vignettes of characters from a writer's life--a writer very like Mahfouz himself. And accompanying each vignette is a portrait of the character by a friend of the author, the renowned Alexandrian artist Seif Wanli. Through each vignette--whether of a lifelong friend, a sometime adversary, or a childhood sweetheart--not only is that one character described but much light is thrown on other characters already familiar or yet to be encountered, as well as on the narrator himself, who we come to know well through the mirrors of his world of acquaintances. At the same time, Mirrors also reflects the recent history of Egypt, its political movements, its leaders, its wars, and its peace, all of which affect the lives of friends and enemies and of the narrator himself. As the translator writes in his Introduction, "the narrator's acquaintances from childhood, schooldays, and civil service career take him from the lofty heights of intellectual salons to the seemy squalor of brothels and drug dens; from the dreams of youth and nationalistic ideals to the sobering realities of post-revolutionary society and clashing economic and political values."The apparently simple but penetrating portraits by Seif Wanli add an extra, distinctive dimension to this already intriguing book. They originally appeared with the serialized texts in the television magazine, but were omitted when the book was first published in 1972, and were also omitted when the English translation first appeared in 1977. Now, in this special edition, the pictures and the complete text appear together for the first time.
