The Sir Roger de Coverley Papers

Joseph Addison, Eustace Budgell, Richard Steele

Sinopse

The Sir Roger de Coverley Papers is a masterful anthology that captures the quintessence of early 18th-century British literature, brimming with satire, wit, and a keen examination of the social fabric of the time. This collection, originally published in the pages of The Spectator, offers a rich tableau of the life and manners of its era through a series of engaging narratives and character sketches centered around the genial and affable Sir Roger de Coverley. From rustic charms to urbane complexities, these pieces traverse a spectrum of settings, inviting readers to experience the convergence of storytelling and social commentary. Each installment reveals nuances of societal norms and personal idiosyncrasies, creating a diverse and captivating literary mosaic. Authored by eminent figures of the period, including Joseph Addison, Richard Steele, and Eustace Budgell, the anthology reflects an intersection of contemporary cultural and intellectual movements. These writers, pivotal in the development of the essay form, bring distinct voices that coalesce to critique and celebrate 18th-century British society. Their contributions not only mirror the Enlightenment ideals of reason and civility but also place an emphasis on the emergent public discourse emanating from coffeehouse culture, making it a definitive study of its time. The Sir Roger de Coverley Papers invites readers into a bygone era, offering insights that remain relevant for the discerning mind today. It is both an educational resource and a delightful exploration of human nature and societal commentary. Through its pages, readers can indulge in a multiplicity of perspectives, appreciating the dialogue fostered between the authors' varied yet harmonious narrative styles. This anthology is a testament to the timelessness of literary craftsmanship and the enduring appeal of relatable, vivid character portrayals.

Finding Your Own Way - The...

Osho

The Sutra of 42 Chapters is a scripture complied in the first century CE. Each saying comes from Buddha, but the whole work was a new anthology created especially for introducing Buddhism in a new country. That's why it makes such a good, basic introduction to the world view of Gautam Buddha.

It is very simple in its approach, very direct. It is, in essence the whole of Buddha's message, but very simple, not elaborate and very scholarly as other Buddhist scriptures are.
Osho extracts the kernel of Buddha's profound insight and understanding and presents his everlasting message to the contemporary listener in a manner that is lucid, straightforward and humorous. Far from being just a statue, here Buddha is an amazing human being so far ahead of his time that even now he is only just beginning to be more widely understood.
In these talks Osho discusses the need for doubt and argument in the spiritual search, the nature of desire and the discipline of non-attachment.
The talks in this audiobook are a series of original OSHO Talks, titled "The Discipline of Transcendence, Vol.1".
Vol.01 FINDING YOUR OWN WAY

- The Most Excellent Way
- The Greatest Miracle
- Only Nothing Is
- Two Empty Skies Meeting
- Real Repentance Is Remembering
- Nothing Is Lacking
- Living the Dhamma
- Sincerity in the Search
- The Truth beyond Magic
- Thus Come, Thus GoneAn abridged edition of this series of talks was published as an audiobook under the title "The Buddha Said", which included only the chapters in which Osho comments on the original sutras by Buddha. This series is the full experience.

The Fifth History of Man

MD John Bershof

In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything.
The Fifth History of Man has a few parting shots at viruses but mostly continues with the world of parasites, from tick disease that tick us off, Old Lyme, Connecticut and Lyme disease, toxoplasmosis, Crazy Cat Lady and her clowder of cats, then on into a discussion of the avatar of parasites: malaria. Our travels will venture down into the valley: Valley Girls, Valspeak, Valley Fever, fungus and fungal infections. We’ll jump into the biology of evolution, Darwin, Huxley and the great debates, the geology of earthquakes, volcanos, the Ring of Fire, and Johnny Cash, and then through the homos: Homo habilis, Homo erectus, and Homo sapiens, and once the dust cleared how the opposable thumbs, walking erect, and bigger brains left one man standing, one woman, too. No discussion of human history can leave out the G.O.A.T. of French history, heck, of European history; the man, the legend, Napoleon Bonaparte, loved and admired by everyone, even his enemies. Our path will take us into war & military, World War I versus the 1918 Swine Flu, some Russian history and how Stalin got Lenin wrong.

In the modern era, with the Internet at our disposal, we have the opportunity and the means to VOTE ONLINE and to cast our votes on National Ballot Measures.We can and we will get this country back as the greatest country in the history of the world, but only if we start down the right path NOW and this can happen only with your support.
