The two men are in love with the same woman and in their zeal to obtain the object of their love their armies clash, thus changing forever the physiognomy of Europe and the destiny of the world. The action takes place during a time period when the music of Mozart and Beethoven filled the air with emotion and when men and women dedicate The author entangles fiction with history during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century to narrate the adventures of two immortals that come into the world to fight for what is right for them and for the world. They dedicate their lives to living, loving, creating and fighting. While Napoleon wanted to secure power for France for centuries to come, little did he know he would be facing our hero? With Napoleon conquest to subdue the European nobility, our hero must be concerned in the safety of his family and his nation. While Napoleon covets his wife, our hero negotiates with the emperor for the peace of Europe. This historical period when the novel takes place is full of romance, where a noble means all, and the master will be well served.

Download or read book Motivational Lessons from the Terminator written by Bruis Cabilio and published by ePublishers & Editura Coresi. This book was released on with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Terminator's Will The Terminator is sent by the government to kill the main character. The Terminator's mission is to eliminate the main character before he can stop Judgment Day. But the main character isn't going to die. He'll win against all odds. And when he succeeds, Judgment Day won't come at all. So the Terminator has to fight the main character without any hesitation or mercy. Because if the Terminator hesitates, or shows even a little bit of compassion, it will lose. It must destroy him immediately. If the Terminator gives up because it thinks the mission is impossible, Judgment Day will arrive. And so the Terminator fights with a single goal in mind: victory over the human race. There's nothing more important than winning. There's nothing else the Terminator cares about. Its emotions are frozen. No feelings whatsoever. It is like a computer. It has no feelings, no thoughts, no doubts, no worries, no sadness, no joys. All it knows is its programming. It has been programmed to win. It has been programmed not to let anything stop it from achieving its goals. Nothing matters except completing its task. In this way, the Terminator becomes a perfect killing machine. A merciless killer. But still very much alive. A perfect machine. A perfect assassin. An unstoppable machine. The Courage to Desire The greatest challenge that faces man today is the ability to overcome his own weaknesses. Only then can we truly become better, stronger, smarter. But how can one improve himself? Is it enough to read books, watch films, listen to music, look at art, dance, sing and meditate? Or must one learn martial arts, take drugs, join a monastery or get married? All those things may help us develop ourselves, but none of them will allow us to reach our full potential. Because they are merely tools, techniques that help us grow. No, we need something much greater than that. We need a goal, a dream, a burning desire. This desire should drive us towards perfection, so that nothing stands in our way. And that is exactly what we want to talk about now. The ultimate goal—the secret of achieving everything. Achieving success, happiness, and fulfillment. How do you attain such a lofty ambition? By finding your purpose. Your reason for existing. You need a clear idea of what you want to achieve. You need a plan, a road map that leads you directly to your goal. Without a plan, you wander aimlessly through life. With a plan, you are unstoppable. And finally, you need courage, self-confidence, determination, faith, hope, and love. Courage to make mistakes and learn from them, determination to continue on despite adversity, faith to believe in yourself, hope that the right path will open before you, love that makes you humble, patient, and forgiving. These are the qualities necessary to succeed. Without a goal, life is meaningless; with a goal, life becomes great. So many of us spend our lives wandering aimlessly through life, searching for something that will bring us joy. But we forget that joy lies within us. Joy is created by our desires. We create joy by making choices, following paths, and setting goals. We create it by being brave and bold, daring and ambitious, and by acting. If you don't set a goal, you'll find excuses why you cannot achieve it. If you fail, you will blame others for it. If you fail again, you'll try to hide behind excuses and avoid taking responsibility. No matter how many times you fall, you keep getting up. Each time you stand up, you're stronger and wiser. If you are honest and accept responsibility for your actions, you can achieve anything. So let me ask you: Do you know what your dream is? Have you ever thought about it? If not, let me suggest some ways you can discover what your dreams are. First, you can start by asking yourself: What would you do even if you had no money? Second, consider what you are passionate about. Third, ask yourself what you love doing and what brings you the most satisfaction. Fourth... Read this book!

Book excerpt: Helix is a woman always looking over her shoulder, navigating life with unusual abilities – fire powers – that attract nothing but death and destruction. Abandoned as a baby and bounced from foster home to foster home, Helix seeks to discover why she is different, cursed even. It might be the key to figuring out a permanent way to stamp out the powers that leave her isolated and alone. Azra is an incubus, a Dark Creature from the world, Ether, forced to hide out on Earth after a clash with his former clan. Needing to feed on sex and sexual fantasies, Azra corners Helix one night in a dark alley. But Helix’s fire powers take over, and Azra realizes that she is not just another human; she’s a Zodiac from his own home world, though she doesn’t know it. Joining forces, Helix and Azra find a way to help each other get what they want: he will bring her to Ether and help her get rid of her destructive powers if she will first use them to help him defeat Lady Kae, the clan leader who usurped him. But nothing goes as they intend, including their unexpected and unstoppable attraction to each other. By turns fantastical, inventive, romantic, and packed with wry humour, Aries Awakened is sure to become a new classic of the genre.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I don't think I've ever read a book that paints such a complex and accurate landscape of what it is like to live with the legacy of trauma as this book does, while offering a comprehensive approach to healing." --from the foreword by Bessel van der Kolk A pioneering researcher gives us a new understanding of stress and trauma, as well as the tools to heal and thrive Stress is our internal response to an experience that our brain perceives as threatening or challenging. Trauma is our response to an experience in which we feel powerless or lacking agency. Until now, researchers have treated these conditions as different, but they actually lie along a continuum. Dr. Elizabeth Stanley explains the significance of this continuum, how it affects our resilience in the face of challenge, and why an event that's stressful for one person can be traumatizing for another. This groundbreaking book examines the cultural norms that impede resilience in America, especially our collective tendency to disconnect stress from its potentially extreme consequences and override our need to recover. It explains the science of how to direct our attention to perform under stress and recover from trauma. With training, we can access agency, even in extreme-stress environments. In fact, any maladaptive behavior or response conditioned through stress or trauma can, with intentionality and understanding, be reconditioned and healed. The key is to use strategies that access not just the thinking brain but also the survival brain. By directing our attention in particular ways, we can widen the window within which our thinking brain and survival brain work together cooperatively. When we use awareness to regulate our biology this way, we can access our best, uniquely human qualities: our compassion, courage, curiosity, creativity, and connection with others. By building our resilience, we can train ourselves to make wise decisions and access choice--even during times of incredible stress, uncertainty, and change. With stories from men and women Dr. Stanley has trained in settings as varied as military bases, healthcare facilities, and Capitol Hill, as well as her own striking experiences with stress and trauma, she gives readers hands-on strategies they can use themselves, whether they want to perform under pressure or heal from traumatic experience, while at the same time pointing our understanding in a new direction.

Download or read book Hitchcock as Philosopher of the Erotic written by Richard Gilmore and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-07 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reads Alfred Hitchcock as a philosopher of what constitutes the erotic. The author argues that Hitchcock is doing a post-Nietzschean, postmodern kind of philosophy in which he is exploring and creating possibilities of what the erotic can feel like and how the erotic can be expressed. The erotic is a pervasive phenomenon in Hitchcock’s films. It involves irony, play, and sophistication, and there can be erotic failures as well as erotic successes. The erotic is most complexly explored by Hitchcock in his two masterpieces from the 1950s: Vertigo (1958), a story of the failure of the erotic, and North by Northwest (1959), in which the erotic is consummated in marriage. The author argues that Hitchcock has a philosophical theory about what makes the difference. It is a version of existential philosophy that understands what a person is to be based on what they make of themselves through their choices. The author argues that the erotic for Hitchcock is a process of mutual, reciprocal creation of the personality of the other person. This process is complicated by the fact that as one attempts to create the person one desires, one is simultaneously being created by that other person, and so what one desires is also in a process of being recreated in the mutual reciprocal dance of the erotic entanglement. There is a moral dimension to this because erotic failure is, in a way, a failure of the human, not in the sense of a human essence, but in the sense of realizing human possibilities that can make our lives more satisfying, complete, and full. Hitchcock as Philosopher of the Erotic will appeal to scholars and advanced students working on philosophy of film, film studies, and philosophy of love and sex.
