On legal business in London, he visits the Natural History Museum only to glimpse the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life. But after a fleeting glimpse of her eyes and a smile she is gone. The same evening the mystery deepens as he meets her again in his hotel as if by chance and she greets him by name, instructing him to change his flight the following day and giving him new tickets and a passport under a new identity. In a trance, he dutifully catches the TWA flight home and only when arriving at his Manhattan office the following day does the enormity of his chance meeting come to light: no one at all seems to recognise him. Everyone on his original flight has died in a terrible mid-air explosion that left no survivors. By some miracle, his Guardian Angel has saved his life and somehow replaced his old life with a new one - but why? Bewitched and beguiled by this supernatural beauty, he soon finds himself on a journey of love, discovery and intrigue as forces way beyond any Earthly powers reshape his life, love and destiny.

- The Practice of Esoteric Arcana exploring the Plays' Mysteries
278,95 kr. "Here is a person who shares with me a love of Shakespeare's mysterious depths of understanding. The ancient wisdom traditions underlie and sustain the incredible reflection of our souls in Shakespeare." Sir Mark Rylance, first artistic director of Shakespeare's Globe, London (1995-2005).Eight arcana - alchemy, Renaissance Platonism (including Divine Love), Renaissance magic, the Cabala, Celtic mysticism and Old World religion, initiation, theurgy and the Bible - are identified by the author in Shakespeare's plays as means to uncover long misunderstood mysteries and anomalies of his playwriting. Strange and unlikely events in the stage action of his plays are elucidated as metaphors of these arcana, all readily available to Shakespeare and other playwrights of his day. For example, in The Winter's Tale Shakespeare tells of a seacoast of Bohemia on which the ship carrying the baby Perdita, mariners and the courtier Antigonus are wrecked in a storm, the latter being eaten by a bear. A reading of the play as a metaphor of chemical alchemy, clearly identified by the names of the characters and the stage action, shows how the scene is indicative of the alchemical stage of Putrefaction taking place in a bear-shaped vessel. In As You Like It, the reported action in the Forest of Arden where Orlando rescues his brother from a lion and a snake is sourced from several transforming arcana leading to brotherly reconciliation.SECRET MEANINGS IN SHAKESPEARE APPLIED TO STAGE PERFORMANCE is unique in that these meanings have been researched and developed specifically to inform stage performances by an international, professional theatre company - Theatre Set-Up (www.ts-u.co.uk). For over thirty years the author's esoteric interpretations have inspired and clarified the company's productions to widespread critical and audience acclaim.About the AuthorWendy Jean Macphee (whose doctorate in arcana in Shakespeare was taken at the Shakespeare Institute of The University of Birmingham) was a teacher and lecturer in English, drama and music from 1960 to 2012 and was founder, administrator, artistic director, actor and musician for Theatre Set-Up which toured Shakespeare's plays in heritage sites in the UK and in mainland Europe from 1976 to 2011.

125,95 kr. In his new book The Verdict respected Algerian political activist and humanitarian Elias Adam presents his carefully judged observation and examination of the human condition. As he challenges the notion that we are the superior race, when in fact, we are increasingly to be seen as the root cause of almost every problem in the world, he offsets the rational of each proposition against the turbulent back drop of his own life In a remorseless search for the truth behind our veneer of civilized life and the banners we have named laws he juxtaposes his ideas by using the life of a dog as a comparison, by which he comes to some startling conclusions about which is the most savage of the two species. Based broadly on his life experiences he has created different scenarios to illustrate each point while the book is set modestly within a cafe that he frequents, where he analyses its customers as it soon becomes his human laboratory. As the ideas unfold the setting of each becomes progressively more surrealistic as the Dog Chiotby plays a large part in the book and because it is a dreamlike, it allows him to put aside all of his inhibitions to talk more freely and humbly about himself.

416,95 kr. Truth. Is there such a thing? Do newspapers print it? Do televisions air it? Is it preached from pulpits in churches? Is the truth on Facebook, can it be found on Twitter?

- A Mothers Fight
133,95 kr. As a young man from a loving, middle class family living in a small English village, Ben Rogers appeared to have it all....but then he found drugs. As his life descended into chaos and despair, Ben began to chronicle his daily struggles with the aid of a video camera. He was hopeful that one day his experiences could be used to educate others. Ben lost his battle against addiction and died when he was 34 as a result of medical withdrawal. His family decided to release the tapes in the hope that other families could benefit. The result was the highly acclaimed, award winning SKY documentary, 'Ben, Diary of a Heroin Addict' which was shown on national television 27 times and ultimately across the world. Ben's mother, Anne, received hundreds of letters and messages, not only from addicts but also from families saying that the documentary had helped them realise that they weren't alone. The film took Ben's mum to the Home Office, with interviews on national television, radio and the press. She has spoken with many young offenders desperate to educate other youngsters about addiction and to honour her son's wishes. The book includes writings and drawings by Ben which give a unique insight into the chaos surrounding drug addiction. His brother and sisters contribute too to the story of a family living on the edge. 'Ben, Diary of a Heroin Addict - A Mother's Fight' is both an attack against the government's tolerance of addiction and a powerful and moving depiction of one family's love.
