Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Die Kunst des Erinnerns: Fünf hinreißende und bewegende Skizzen aus einem schwierigen LebenNeben ihren Tagebüchern und Briefen hat Virginia Woolf einige Memoiren hinterlassen, die nicht für die Öffentlichkeit gedacht waren. Den ersten dieser Texte schrieb sie mit 26 Jahren, lange bevor sie als Schriftstellerin hervortrat; an dem letzten arbeitete sie bis wenige Monate vor ihrem Tod. Mit fast analytischer Genauigkeit hält sie den Zauber, aber auch die Schrecken und Abgründe ihrer Kindheit fest. Sie berichtet von der allmählichen Befreiung aus der Enge ihres viktorianisch-prüden Elternhauses und von den Anfängen der legendären 'Bloomsbury Group'. Nicht ohne Witz und Ironie schildert sie diesen unkonventionellen Freundeskreis aus Künstlern und Schriftstellern, der ihr Denken und Schreiben entscheidend mit beeinflusst hat.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Way to Love contains some of the most beloved stories from Anthony de Mello. Here, more than ever before in his bestselling writing, he grapples with the ultimate question of love. In thirty-one meditations, he implores his readers with his usual pithiness to break through illusion, the great obstacle to love. 'Love springs from awareness,' de Mello insists, saying that it is only when we see the other as he or she really is that we begin to love. The second act of love, he says, is seeing ourselves without illusion-without the coercive nature of our needs, desires, memories, prejudices, and projections. If these steps are taken, then love will steal upon a person or into a relationship. But the task is not easy. 'The most painful act the human can perform,' de Mello says, 'is the act of seeing. It is in that act of seeing that love is born.'.
