"Diary" takes the form of a "coma diary" kept by one Misty Wilmot as her husband lies senseless in hospital after a suicide attempt. Once, she was an art student dreaming of creativity and freedom; now, after marrying Peter at art school and being brought back to once quaint, now tourist-overrun Waytansea Island, she`s been reduced to the condition of a resort hotel maid. Peter, it turns out, has been hiding rooms in house he`s refurbished and scrawling vile messages all over the walls - an old habit of builders but gone nuts on his part. Angry homeowners are sueing left and right, and Misty`s dreams of artistic greatness are in ashes. But then, as if possessed by the spirit of Maura Kinkaid, a fabled Waytansea artist of the nineteenth...

It is said that Charles Dickens invented Christmas, and within these pages you`ll certainly find all the elements of a quintessential traditional Christmas brought to vivid life: snowy rooftops, gleaming shop windows, steaming bowls of punch, plum puddings like speckled cannon balls, sage and onion stuffing, miracles, magic, charity and goodwill. This beautifully produced Vintage Classics edition gathers together not only Dickens` Christmas Books (`A Christmas Carol`, `The Chimes`, `The Battle of Life`, `The Cricket on the Hearth` and `The Haunted Man`) but also stories that Dickens wrote for the special seasonal editions of his periodicals All the Year Round and Household Words, and the hilarious festive episodes from The Pickwick...

A breathtaking feat of scholarship` The Times. `I can do no more than praise, recommend, insist that you buy and read this book. It supersedes all other Dickens biographies` Anthony Burgess, Independent. In Peter Ackroyd`s abridged edition of his classic biography of Charles Dickens, the acclaimed biographer takes us to the heart of one of the world`s greatest writers. From Dickens`s birth in Portsmouth to his death at the age of just fifty-eight, Ackroyd explores the life of this renowned author and the hundreds of characters who were born with Dickens but didn`t die with him, living on for ever in the pages of his books, on the radio and the television and film screens.

Dreams have variously inspired and haunted kings, poets, inventors, artists, musicians, statesmen and others since the dawn of recorded experience. Custavus Hindman Miller`s Dictionary of Dreams first appeared in 1909, ten years after Sigmund Freud`s pioneering work The Interpretation of Dreams, and is therefore an historical work on dream analysis first published at the time of a quantum leap in human consciousness. 10,000 entries cover Bananas to Cauliflowers, Garbage to Gravy, Measles to Mustard, and Virgins to Zebras. The text is supplemented with a 40-page preface. Формат: 12,5 см х 19,5 см.

Hauptgegenstand ist Schopenhauers Annahme, dass die Welt zum einen Wille ist, zum anderen nur als unsere Vorstellung gegeben ist, wie schon im Titel deutlich wird. Unter Vorstellung versteht Schopenhauer die mentalen Funktionen, die für die Modalität des Erkennens eines erkennenden Lebewesens verantwortlich sind. Unter Wille versteht Schopenhauer, von der östlichen Philosophie inspiriert, ein kosmisches Prinzip der Existenz, das für das individuelle Dasein in der Welt verantwortlich ist und lässt sich als "einen blinden ziellosen Drang zu Leben" beschreiben. Für Schopenhauer sind Menschen, Tiere, Pflanzen, so wie auch Steine bzw. alle Form von Materie, Teil dieses Prinzips. Schopenhauer sieht in dem Prinzip...
