Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
Escape to Languedoc in this poignant and transportative true account of life in a beautifully restored house in the south of France 'Wonderful, exquisitely written, laugh-out-loud funny, profoundly moving. An utter joy and a treat to read from first to last' JAMES HOLLAND 'Dolby writes with genuine emotion. He writes beautifully about life in a French village' DAILY MAIL ___________ An Englishman's home is his castle. But what if it's French? One Place de L'Eglise is a thousand-year-old Languedoc ruin. Leaky, crumbling, lacking basic amenities, it is ignored by the local villagers. But for Londoners Trevor and Kaz it is love at first sight. Over the years they turn the house into a home, navigating floods and freezing winters. Here, these two English find their place - their bar, their baker, their builder (ignore him at your peril). And gradually they learn slower joys - scents of thyme and lavender, warm sun on stone, nights hung with stars, silence in the hills, the secrets of fig jam. One Place de L'Eglise is a love letter - to a house, a village, a country - from an outsider who discovers you can never be a stranger when you're made to feel so at home. ___________ 'Irresistible, a timeless story' MICHAEL PALIN 'Elegant, captivating, and sprinkled with self-deprecating humour. Dolby is a writer of abundant talent' PETER KERR, author of Snowball Oranges

My writings come from my heart's feelings and love deep within my heart and soul. My inspiration and muse for my poetry was and still is my one and only true love, Alina V. She is an only child and was living in Sevastopol, part of the Russian Federation. Alina has taught me the true meaning of love and what it felt like to be in love. There is love in everyone no matter what age a person is. Alina has become my teacher of life's loves and happiness. Without the love I have for this woman and her love for life, this poetry would have never been written. She has made me realize that there is love and life within everyone's heart, and I have learned from her. My love for Alina will never end as long as I have air in my lungs and blood in my veins. I love you with all my heart. Thank you Honey for without you, there would be no book.

The Joyful Science
Author: Friedrich Nietzsche
Publisher: Minerva Heritage Press
ISBN: 3989886444
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
A new translation into American English from the original manuscript of Nietzsche's 1882 "Die fröhliche Wissenschaft". This is sometimes translated as "The Gay Science" or "The Happy Science" or "The Joyful Wisdom". This edition is bilingual- the original text is included in the back as reference material behind the English translation. This is volume 5 in The Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsche from Livraria Press. This chronological, systematic set of Nietzsche's works is the first ever bilingual "Hauptwerke" or complete major works of Nietzsche published in English & the original German. The Joyful Science is perhaps his clearest explanation of his Epistemology in relation to his entire philosophic project. Here he writes about the Tautology of Anti-Metaphysical positions, for the very impetuous of them is rooted in Metaphysical assumptions (namely, that objective truth matters at all). Nietzsche’s megalomania begins to bloom in the Joyful Science, taking full form in The Twilight of the Idols. He continues his philosophy of negation and takes on every figure of western philosophy individually, and sometimes in pairs and groups. Christianity, he calls “a permanent suicide of reason” but also for the first time he talks about how the very preoccupation with truth has it’s origin in the “peasant morality” of Christianity.
