December 1966Briefe
1929–1951
by Hermann Broch, Robert Pick, Daniel Brody
Die in diesem Bande veröffentlichte Auswahl aus Hermann Brochs Briefen stellt einen unerläßlichen Kommentar zu seinen Schriften dar. Die Briefe gewähren Einblick in den Entstehungsprozeß seiner Werke, und der Leser wird durch eingehende theoretische Darlegungen vom Dichter selbst in ihren Problemkreis und ihre künstlerischen Tendenzen eingeführt. Berechtigung und Aufgabe des Dichterberufes in der gegenwärtigen Zeit ist der Fragenkomplex, der Broch dauernd beschäftigt hat. Das Bedürfnis, sich als Dichter zu verantworten und seinen erstrebten‚ Standort zu umzeichnen, veranlaßte ihn zu zahlreichen literar- wie zeitkritischen Erörterungen in seinen Briefen. Sie sind zugleich ein Spiegel des Zeitgeschehens und der zeitgenössischen Literatur, wodurch ihnen weit über den Kreis des persönlichen Lebenslaufs und dichterischen Werkbereichs im engeren Sinn hinaus eine große Bedeutung zukommt. Zudem sind sie als Ergänzung zu den nur fragmentarisch vorhandenen erkenntnistheoretischen Schriften besonders wertvoll. Über das werkgeschichtliche und literarkritische Interesse hinaus haben die Briefe aber auch hohen Wert als Dokumente menschlicher Größe. Sie sind – und darin besteht ein wesentlicher Teil ihrer besonderen Anziehungskraft – echte, nicht zur Veröffentlichung bestimmte Zwiegespräche des Dichters mit Freunden und Zeitgenossen, denen er sich im Sterben verwandt fühlte. Mehr als über die biographischen Stationen seines Lebens – Industrieller, Dichter, Emigrant, Philosoph und Sozialwissenschaftler –, die Broch selber für nebensächlich hielt, geben die Briefe Zeugnis von einer überragenden geistigen Persönlichkeit.

April 2019Spiritual Growth
by Rabbi Paul Steinberg
This book began with Paul Steinberg's realization that although religions are struggling to meet the needs and trends of our modern age, spirituality is not. Its contemporary manifestations continue to thrive, and Jews can be found throughout all varieties of spiritual leadership in America.Facing the fact that, for whatever reason, Jewish leaders simply have not done a good job of translating the ancient, spiritual wisdom of their beliefs into contemporary language and images that resonate with mass appeal, Rabbi Steinberg knew that the faith of his fathers was ready for a new spiritual message. And so he has written it―a message that is both particular to Judaism and uses Jewish language and text as starting points for a view that is universal enough to include spiritual concepts, terms, and expressions from many other spiritual traditions.Spiritual Growth: A Contemporary Jewish Approach provides both a language and a set of Jewish spiritual principles that are accessible and integrated with contemporary life, as well as being deep and authentically real (i.e., not “dumbed down” for anyone). It is a work that emerged out of Rabbi Steinberg's own personal experiences, pains, and spiritual journey―the trials and growth documented in his highly successful book Recovery, the 12 Steps, and Jewish Spirituality.There are not a lot of works like this. There are books on Jewish scholarship, history, and theology. But books on Jewish spirituality tend usually to focus on a particular motif, such as the feminine, grief, aging, or Kabbalistic biblical interpretations. Spiritual Growth: A Contemporary Jewish Approach presents its message through the psycho-spiritual world view of 2018 but without the language and narrative of a therapist. It is an important contribution to the spiritual-seeking community at large, to Jews who have become alienated from their faith, and to anyone interested in learning more about what a historically vibrant spirituality can bring to today's troubled world.

The ArtsSeptember 2023The senses in interior design
Sensorial expressions and experiences
by John Potvin, Marie-Ève Marchand, Benoit Beaulieu
The senses in interior design examines how sight, touch, smell, hearing and taste have been mobilised within various forms of interiors. The chapters explore how the body navigates and negotiates the realities of designed interiors and challenge the traditional focus on star designers or ideal interiors that have left sensorial agency at the margins of design history. From the sensually gendered role of the fireplace in late sixteenth century Italy to the synaesthetic décors of Comte Robert de Montesquiou and the sensorial stimuli of Aesop stores, each chapter brings a new perspective on the central role that the senses have played in the conception, experiences and uses of interiors.

Health & Personal DevelopmentEncounter
by Fer Broca
In these times of change and transformation, we have faced, individually and collectively, our deepest fears, discovering how vulnerable and fragile we are. The technological revolution that has drastically altered our way of communicating, the risks of climate change, the ongoing pandemic, and the resurgence of fear from a continental-scale war remind us of the illusory nature of control and the fragility of our sense of security. "Encuentro" is a response to our new vulnerability: a voice that speaks, shouts, or whispers what the ancient memory of peoples has passed down to us. Through shamanic practices applicable to daily life and a simple yet profound presentation of the basic principles of this ancestral wisdom, Fer Broca teaches us how to merge our personal experiences and face our fears with the help of a living tradition that is constantly evolving. This book is both personal and social, informative and inspiring, practical and introspective, designed to help us find meaning in times of crisis.
