Blood in the City
Author: Richard D. E. Burton
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 9780801438684
Category : Historic sites
Languages : en
Pages : 430
Book Description
"Instead of adhering to conventional chronological lines, Blood in the City is structured topologically around a number of major Parisian "sites of memory," including Place de la Concorde, Sacre-Coeur, and the Eiffel Tower. For thirty years Burton has visited and revisited Paris, criss-crossing the streets on foot, and lived with great nineteenth- and twentieth-century literary depictions of the city. Drawing on historical, literary, visual, anthropological, and psychological sources, he develops a wide-ranging account of violence in modern French politics. In so doing, he provides powerful insights into political violence, scapegoating, the idea of sacrifice, and the widespread French obsession with conspiracy."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
Facing life in and of itself is difficult. But when self-esteem issues, drugs, and questions about life come crashing down all at once, life is more than difficult. Many of us have unpleasant memories which we have carried on our shoulders as we became adults. These memories which may seem dormant can surface in many other negative ways. Unexplained aggression, total mood changes for no apparent reason, deep depression are just a few examples which can come from repressed feelings. This is about one person who struggles to overcome their inner conflicts as well as the shame which came from certain traumatic events. The life of those closest to Fred was greatly affected. Self-redemption and the long journey to coming to terms in order to heal is a story that everyone should be able to relate to. People who are afraid to speak on issues that hurt have to understand that to hold on to these bitter feelings will become toxic. And just like waste it will poison everything around. Thoughts of suicide was a big part of Fred's life during the years of inner rage as well as low self-esteem. Many may wrestle with these thoughts but through the personal experience I can say that reaching rock bottom made me face myself. I am thanking God for being a great part of my life without this foundation I would not be here now. Whether you to go to church or not this story should impress everyone in order to heal, we have to put closure on certain unpleasant subjects.
