Through the Lens of Anthroposophy
What relevance do anthroposophy and the teachings of Rudolf Steiner have for the world today? Spiritual thinker Wolfgang Müller was initially sceptical that anthroposophy had any contemporary value. It wasn't until many years after his first encounter with the challenging and sometimes controversial worldview that a closer study of Steiner's writings prompted him to make a radical reappraisal. In this thought-provoking book, Müller explains how anthroposophy, far from being out of touch with the modern world, has important contributions to make towards our understanding of contemporary life. He shows, for example, how anthroposophy builds on the insights of natural science to explore the inner life of human beings, and how its progressive view of human spiritual development can help us better understand the world's religions. He looks at anthroposophy's approach to medicine, which takes into account both the physical and spiritual aspects of human beings, and goes on to consider Steiner's social and political ideas, which seek to bring our public spheres of culture, politics and economics into greater balance. Finally, Müller explores accusations of racism that have been made against Steiner in recent years and shows how they are fundamentally at odds with Steiner's view of a truly universal humanity. This book offers a balanced and well-researched contemporary perspective on anthroposophy from a former sceptic and will be of value to anyone looking for alternative ways of understanding our world.

Trutyi
„Nem tudom, mikor jöttem rá, hogy Nim nem fog visszajönni. Csak lassan esett le számomra. Nem tudtam pontosan, mennyi ideig tart az összevarrás: tizenöt perc, fél óra? Egy óra elteltével vettem rá magam, hogy szóljak valakinek. A nővérek azt hitték, Nim eltévedt a kórházban, vagy talán rossz kórterembe küldték vissza. Észrevettem, hogy a kis bőrönd, amit bepakoltam neki, váltóruhával, fogkefével, a telefonjával, eltűnt. Erre felhívtam a nővérek figyelmét is. Lassan néma pánik lett úrrá mindenkin. A baba aludt. Végül megnézték a biztonsági kamerák felvételeit, és jól látszott, ahogy Nim egész egyszerűen kisétál a kórház parkolójából. Melegítőalsót és egy ócska, szürke kapucnis pulcsit viselt, még mindig kissé nehézkesen, kacsázva lépkedett, a jobb szemöldökén elkenődött vérfolt látszott.”
Felemelő történet két nőről, akik egy váratlan terhesség miatt zavarba ejtően közel kerülnek egymáshoz.
Jules már öt éve elvált Leontól, de még mindig a közös, lepattant kocsmájukban dolgozik: a Trutyiban. A brightoni fiatalok kedvelt szórakozóhelyén éjszakánként feleseket tölt, és végignézi, ahogy a volt férje, Leon, diáklányokat szed fel.
Egy nap Leon felveszi a tizenkilenc éves Nimet. Az új kolléganő érkezése felrázza Julest az évek óta tartó közönyből. Amikor pedig a lány terhes lesz, és Jules segítségét kéri, a kapcsolatuk gyökeresen megváltozik.
Aztán Jules egyszer csak hirtelen egyedül marad az apró lakásában egy egynapos kisbabával a kezében, akin még érzi Nim illatát. Nem tudja, hova tűnt a gyerek anyja, visszatér-e egyáltalán. Azt pedig végképp nem sejti, hogy mit tartogat számukra a jövő.
A Trutyi sodró erejű regény egy legkevésbé sem hagyományos családmodellről. Szerelem és szenvedély, biztonság és rombolás, káosz és rend kavarog minden egyes oldalán szétválaszthatatlanul.
Jegyzetek egy kivégzéshez
Ansel Packer tizenkét óra múlva meghal. Tisztában van azzal, hogy mit tett, és most a kivégzésére vár, ugyanarra a sorsra, amit ő is rákényszerített azokra a lányokra évekkel ezelőtt. De Ansel nem akar meghalni, azt akarja, hogy ünnepeljék, hogy megértsék.
Egy anya, egy lánytestvér, egy gyilkossági nyomozó – nők, akiknek a kaleidoszkópján keresztül megismerjük Ansel élettörténetét.
Találkozunk az anyjával, Lavenderrel; egy tizenhét éves lánnyal, aki kétségbeesett lépésre kényszerül; Hazellel, Ansel feleségének ikertestvérével, aki születésük óta elválaszthatatlan nővérétől, de most kénytelen tétlenül figyelni, ahogy a testvére kapcsolata mindegyiküket felemészti. És végül Saffyval, a nyomozóval, aki szorosan a nyomában van, és aki annak szenteli a hivatását, hogy rossz embereket bíróság elé állítson, miközben képtelen tisztán látni a saját életét.
Danya Kukafka regénye a feszültséget megdöbbentő empátiával ötvözve hátborzongató képet fest a női sorsról, és ezzel egyidejűleg feltárja az amerikai sorozatgyilkos ismerős narratíváját, komoly kérdéseket megfogalmazva az igazságszolgáltatással és a bűnügyi történetek iránti megszállottságunkkal kapcsolatban. Mindeközben az olvasó elgondolkodhat azon, hogy érdemes-e értelmet keresni erőszakos emberek pszichéjében…

Namia Faye az árvaházban nőtt fel egy olyan birodalomban, ahol minden fiatalnak kötelező kiválasztáson kell átesnie, hogy eldőljön, milyen úton szolgálja majd a hazáját: harcosként a Vasfény Képzőben, tudósként az Ezüsttan Képzőben, vagy arcanusként az Arcanumban.
Namia éveken át készült, hogy Ezüst tanoncként, azaz tudósként folytassa életét. De van valami, amit mások nem tudnak: hónapok óta kísérti ugyanaz az álom, és benne egy alak, akit nem ismer – mégis valahogy úgy érzi, ismernie kellene.
Titkok, amiket nem lehet eltemetni.
És egy fiatal lány, akinek a sorsa többről dönt, mint amit valaha elképzelt.
A származásod nem határozza meg, ki vagy.

And loving me might be the last risk he'll ever take.

Be Like the Sea
‘The one thing you can’t fully control in a ship is the water all around you, so part of your plan is always reading and analysing the currents and the tides.

Developing a love of the sea, Marie learned that to be at one with it required agility, and a willingness to change, to go with the wind – not against it. These lessons prepared her for operating without a life raft when her personal life threw her the greatest challenge of all.

The Price of Victory
The final instalment of N.A.M. Rodger's definitive, authoritative trilogy on Britain's naval historyAt the end of the French and Napoleonic wars, British sea-power was at its apogee. But by 1840, as one contemporary commentator put it, the Admiralty was full of ‘intellects becalmed in the smoke of Trafalgar’. How the Royal Navy reformed and reinvigorated itself in the course of the nineteenth century is just one thread in this magnificent book, which refuses to accept standard assumptions and analyses. All the great actions are here, from Navarino in 1827 (won by a daringly disobedient Admiral Codrington) to Jutland, D-Day, the Battle of the Atlantic and the battles in the Pacific in 1944/45 in concert with the US Navy. The development and strategic significance of submarine and navy air forces is superbly described, as are the rapid evolution of ships (from classic Nelsonic type, to hybrid steam/sail ships, then armour-clad and the fully armoured Dreadnoughts and beyond) and weapons. The social history of officers and men – and sometimes women – always a key part of the author’s work, is not neglected. Rodger sets all this in the essential context of politics and geo-strategy. The character and importance of leading admirals – Beatty, Fisher, Cunningham – is assessed, together with the roles of other less famous but no less consequential figures. Based on a lifetime’s learning, it is the culmination of one of the most significant British historical works in recent decades. Naval specialists will find much that is new here, and will be invigorated by the originality of Rodger’s judgements; but everyone who is interested in the one of the central threads in British history will find it rewarding.
