Iain Pears: The Dream of Scipio

The Dream of Scipio


Description

Set in Provence at three different critical moments of Western Civilisation - the collapse of the Roman Empire in the fifth century, the Black Death in the fourteenth, and the Second World War in the twentieth - The Dream of Scipio follows the fortunes of three men: Manlius Hippomanes, a Gallic aristocrat obsessed with the preservation of Roman civilisation, Olivier de Noyen, a poet, and Julien Barneuve, an intellectual who joins the Vichy government. The story of each man is woven through the narrative, linked by the classical text that gives the book its title, and by each man's love for an extraordinary woman. Dense, dark, erudite and yet, like An Instance of the Fingerpost, utterly compelling, The Dream of Scipio confirms Iain Pears as one of Britain's most imaginative novelists.

Each meditation in this series from angel authority Diana Cooper takes the listener on a journey to connect with the angelic realm. With information on how and why the meditations summon a specific angel and how that being can aid in healing, life affirmations, and growth, these CDs offer inspiration and enlightenment for those who are open to receiving messages. Recorded to assist seekers in finding their guardian angel, this guided meditation shows where to uncover the angel's name, teaches how to receive messages, and explores the use of the jade and chrysoprase crystals. What are the origins of creativity and how can we develop it The Dream of Scipio download ebook - whether within ourselves or in others? Not only does Playing and Reality address these questions, it also tackles many more that surround the fundamental issue of the individual self and its relationship with the outside world. In this landmark book of twentieth-century psychology, Winnicott shows the reader how, through the attentive nurturing of creativity from the earliest years, every individual has the opportunity to enjoy a rich and rewarding cultural life. Today, as the 'hothousing' and testing of children begins at an ever-younger age, Winnicott's classic text is a more urgent and topical read than ever before.
