Since it was first published " The Art of Loving" has become a classic, inspiring thousands of people with its clarity and power. Erich Fromm, the renowned psychoanalyst, sees love as the ultimate need and desire of all human beings. In this book, he discusses every aspect of the subject: romantic love, the love of parents for children, brotherly love, erotic love, self-love and the love of God or the divine. He looks at the theory of love as it appears throughout the cultures of the world and at the practice, how we show or fail to show love to one another. Love is an art, which we need to develop and practice in order to find true commitment. We need to find it, individually and as a society as a whole. Erich Fromm is one of the major figures in the field of psychoanalysis. He devoted himself to consultant psychology and theoretical investigation for many years. He was the author of numerous books, including " Fear of Freedom" and "Psychoanalysis and Zen", before his death in 1980.

Lucid, compelling, enlightening“Marcolongo is today’s Montaigne.”—André Aciman, author of Call Me by Your Name“Shows how languages gives us new ways of seeing and understanding the world."—The Guardian“Marcolongo uses the secrets of the Ancient Greek language to illuminate a new way of perceiving the world.”—Refinery29From the international bestselling author of The Ingenious Language, a fascinating portrait of antiquity's most misunderstood, complex, and surprisingly modern hero. In times of peace and prosperity, it's natural to turn to Homer to learn about life's joys and passions; to experience the thrill and terror of war; to look for adventure in distant lands. But what about when things go wrong? What do we do when we find ourselves at the centre of one of the great upheavals of history? Then, writes Andrea Marcolongo, it's time to set the Iliad and the Odyssey aside, and call upon Aeneas. In her fresh, nuanced portrayal, Aeneas emerges as a multiform, deeply human hero, one who feels close to us in his vulnerability and capacity for empathy. His journey from the ruins of Troy to the shores of Italy holds many lessons for our present—chief among them that, even when all seems lost, through resilience and hope we can usher a new beginning.

My name is Vassilis Kallidis & I’m a chef, a restaurant owner, a book author, I host my travel and cooking tv show but above all I’m a foodie & a passionate traveler. This is my third guide book devoted to the city of Athens, the city I live & love most. This is not a proper city guide including all the musts & the do’s. I want you to see the real face of Athens, to eat, drink & walk like a local. I made a selection of places I adore and every time I visit I say to myself “Damn, the fish here is so fresh I wish the tourists knew this place!” Traveling around the world I know how it feels to be lost, first couple of days, visiting a vast city. I’m desperate to find what the locals eat in holes in the wall, with no waste of time. I always wish someone wrote a guide with real information, not just for tourists. This is what I did here for my friends visiting Athens & you all. Enjoy my book and the city!

Samuel Butler, scholar, painter, pioneer photographer, and novelist (including 'Erewhon' and 'The Way of All Flesh'), was one of the less orthodox of Victorian intellectual provocateurs, who confronted powerful orthodoxies such as the Church, the academic establishment, and scientific Darwinism. During the last decade of his productive life (he died in 1902), his main concern became the 'Homeric question'. In his youth, he had been a classical scholar at St John's College, Cambridge; but 'The Authoress of the Odyssey' [1897] is unlike any work of mainstream Victorian classics. His theory - that the Odyssey was written by a woman and (even more startlingly) by one who configured herself in the epic as the Phaeacian princess, Nausicaa - set him on collision course with all the 'orthodoxies' of the stuffy, patriarchal establishment of 'Oxbridge' scholarship. His exposition hesitates (brilliantly, or accidentally?) in the grey area between closely reasoned argument, eccentric tomfoolery and knowing pole
