Book Description
What is originality to thy self when our originality is compromised by the pre-formed perspectives of how and what we should be? What is originality when our journey has already been paved by preconceived ideas of society, gender, responsibilities and family? This already paved journey which does not allow us to explore, grow and just be. The book in your hand answers all your questions by shifting you into a lyrical world where the freedom of exploring pleasure, pain, light and darkness is present. One can only achieve this transcendental state by being original to oneself. This can be achieved when you have made peace with all the darkness and light within. The book is about unsealing, conceding and finally dancing with your own darkness which will lead you to pure authenticity to yourself. This will help you pave your own journey with your constructive understanding of within.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Author: Jean-Dominique Bauby
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307454835
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
A triumphant memoir by the former editor-in-chief of French Elle that reveals an indomitable spirit and celebrates the liberating power of consciousness. In 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby was the editor-in-chief of French Elle, the father of two young children, a 44-year-old man known and loved for his wit, his style, and his impassioned approach to life. By the end of the year he was also the victim of a rare kind of stroke to the brainstem. After 20 days in a coma, Bauby awoke into a body which had all but stopped working: only his left eye functioned, allowing him to see and, by blinking it, to make clear that his mind was unimpaired. Almost miraculously, he was soon able to express himself in the richest detail: dictating a word at a time, blinking to select each letter as the alphabet was recited to him slowly, over and over again. In the same way, he was able eventually to compose this extraordinary book. By turns wistful, mischievous, angry, and witty, Bauby bears witness to his determination to live as fully in his mind as he had been able to do in his body. He explains the joy, and deep sadness, of seeing his children and of hearing his aged father's voice on the phone. In magical sequences, he imagines traveling to other places and times and of lying next to the woman he loves. Fed only intravenously, he imagines preparing and tasting the full flavor of delectable dishes. Again and again he returns to an "inexhaustible reservoir of sensations," keeping in touch with himself and the life around him. Jean-Dominique Bauby died two days after the French publication of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. This book is a lasting testament to his life.

The Aurelian Legacy – a History of British Butterflies and their Collectors
Author: Michael Salmon
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004475478
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
Although the collecting of butterflies is today an emotive subject, it is impossible to separate a history of British butterflies from a history of their collectors, without whose activities our knowledge of the identification, occurrence, distribution, and variation of British butterflies would be much the poorer. Liberally laced with contemporary quotations, this book brings to life the past three hundred years of butterfly study, with details of early societies, collecting equipment, biographies of 101 deceased lepidopterists, with portraits where available, as well as the chequered history in Britain of some 35 species of butterfly. The colour plates include some of the finest butterfly illustrations ever.

Butterfly's Sisters
Author: Yoko Kawaguchi
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300169469
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
In this fascinating and wide-ranging book, Yoko Kawaguchi explores the Western portrayal of Japanese women—and geishas in particular—from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. She argues that in the West, Japanese women have come to embody certain ideas about feminine sexuality, and she analyzes how these ideas have been expressed in diverse art forms, ranging from fiction and opera to the visual arts and music videos. Among the many works Kawaguchi discusses are the art criticism of Baudelaire and Huysmans, the opera Madama Butterfly, the sculptures of Rodin, the Broadway play Teahouse of the August Moon, and the international best seller Memoirs of a Geisha. Butterfly’s Sisters also examines the impact on early twentieth-century theatre, drama, and dance theory of the performance styles of the actresses Madame Hanako and Sadayakko, both formerly geishas.
