Lexikon der Tiersymbolik (3927369616)

Wer romanische oder gotische Kirchen besucht, Mythen, Märchen, Fabeln oder Legenden liebt, wer die Sprache des Unbewussten wie in unseren Träumen besser verstehen will und wer schließlich in die Alltags- oder Werbesprache lauscht, der wird häufig auf Tiere stoßen: auf reale und auf Fabelwesen. Sie tragen vielschichtige Bedeutungen, halten Aussagen für und über uns bereit. Sie werden zu Symbolen, d. h., sie schließen Zugänge auf zum Seelischen und darüber hinaus zu transpersonalen Bereichen. Dieses Lexikon stellt die wichtigsten Tiersymbolträger aus dem abendländischen Kulturbereich von AZ vor und bietet darüber hinaus Einblicke in die Tiersymbolik außereuropäischer Kulturen. Dabei werden Erkenntnisse aus alten Mythen der Völker, aus vergleichender Religionsbetrachtung, aus Astronomie, Astrologie, Mystik, Tiefenpsychologie und Volkskunde prägnant und unterhaltsam vermittelt. Ausgehend von der Urbedeutung, die meist im Natur- oder Astralmythischen wurzelt und aus einer frühen Jägergesel...

The Rag and Bone Shop : How We Make Memories and Memories Make Us (9780241401897)



THE SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR

'Vivid, unforgettable . . . a fascinating, instructive, wise and compassionate book' John Banville

A leading psychiatrist shows how the mysteries of the brain are illuminated at the extremes of human experience

A twinge of sadness, a rush of love, a knot of loss, a whiff of regret. Memories have the power to move us, often when we least expect it, a sign of the complex neural process that continues in the background of our everyday lives. A process that shapes us: filtering the world around us, informing our behaviour and feeding our imagination.

As a practising psychiatrist, Veronica O'Keane has spent many years observing how memory and experience are interwoven. In this rich, fascinating exploration, she asks, among other things, why can memories feel so real? How are our sensations and perceptions connected with them? Why is place so important in memory? Are there such things as 'true' and 'false' memories? And, above all, what happens when the process of memory is disrupted by mental illness? Here O' Keane uses the broken memories of psychosis to illuminate the integrated human brain, offering a new way of thinking about our own personal experiences.

Drawing on the poignant stories of her patients and much more, from literature and fairy tales, O'Keane uses the latest neuroscientific research to reframe our understanding of the extraordinary puzzle that is the human brain; from birth through to adolescence and old age. This book is a testament to the courage - and suffering - of those who live with serious mental illness, showing how their experiences unlock everything we know and feel.

The Lies of Locke Lamora : The deviously twisty fantasy adventure you will not want to put down (9780575079755)

'One of my top ten books ever. Maybe top five. If you haven't read it, you should' Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind 'Fresh, original and engrossing' George R.R. Martin, the phenomenon behind A Game of Thrones They say that the Thorn of Camorr can beat anyone in a fight. They say he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. They say he's part man, part myth, and mostly street-corner rumor. And they are wrong on every count. Only averagely tall, slender, and god-awful with a sword, Locke Lamora is the fabled Thorn, and the greatest weapons at his disposal are his wit and cunning. He steals from the rich - they're the only ones worth stealing from - but the poor can go steal for themselves. What Locke cons, wheedles and tricks into his possession is strictly for him and his band of fellow con-artists and thieves: the Gentleman Bastards. Together their domain is the city of Camorr. Built of Elderglass by a race ...
