Michael Green, a high-end fashion salesman with an overprotective
mother who wants no other woman to come between her and her son.
Michael meets Jazmyn, an up and coming fashion model and single
mother with a secret she does not speak about nor wants to
confront. Complications arise when that very secret threatens not
only their newfound relationship but his life. Should he fight for
the woman he has grown to love or walk away and leave the situation
as a life lesson learned?
Johnson and his kid brother Eddie grew up in the suburban woodlands
near a large lake in a quiet New England town north of Boston. They
played together, survived the jocks and bullies and popular kids in
school, and later fought the enemy in Vietnam.
But as the brothers struggle with realities of the grown-up
world, thirty-seven-year-old Eddie vanishes one day from his desert
home in Tucson, Arizona. Is his exile a self-imposed attempt to
hide from life's mounting troubles, or is he quietly looking for a
better life? Or worse, is foul play involved?
Johnson spends the next seventeen years searching for Eddie with
the help of three police forces in two states, private
investigators, and an army of family members and friends. One cool
November morning, Johnson receives a phone call that finally
answers many of his questions.
Based on real-life events, "Looking for Eddie" is a touching
story of two brothers growing up in idyllic surroundings that
eventually steer both men in different directions, where one meets
his final fate, and the other changes his.
The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) pitted conservative forces
including the army, the Church, the Falange (fascist party),
landowners, and industrial capitalists against the Republic,
installed in 1931 and supported by intellectuals, the petite
bourgeoisie, many campesinos (farm laborers), and the urban
proletariat. Provoking heated passions on both sides, the Civil War
soon became an international phenomenon that inspired a number of
literary works reflecting the impact of the war on foreign and
national writers. While the literature of the period has been the
subject of scholarship, women's literary production has not been
studied as a body of work in the same way that literature by men
has been, and its unique features have not been examined.
Addressing this lacuna in literary studies, this volume provides
fresh perspectives on well-known women writers, as well as less
studied ones, whose works take the Spanish Civil War as a theme.
The authors represented in this collection reflect a wide range of
political positions. Writers such as Maria Zambrano, Merce
Rodoreda, and Josefina Aldecoa were clearly aligned with the
Republic, whereas others, including Mercedes Salisachs and Liberata
Masoliver, sympathized with the Nationalists. Most, however, are
situated in a more ambiguous political space, although the ethics
and character portraits that emerge in their works might suggest
Republican sympathies. Taken together, the essays are an important
contribution to scholarship on literature inspired by this pivotal
point in Spanish history.

Presenting an original and vital model for psychological development, the brilliant and pioneering author of He, She, and We offers a new understanding of the stages of personal growth through which maturity and wholeness can be achieved. Using quintessential figures from classical literature--Don Quixote, Hamlet, and Faust--Robert Johnson shows us three clearly defined stages of consciousness development. He demonstrates how the true work of maturity is to grow through these levels to the self-realized state of completion and harmony. In Johnson's view, we all reach the stages depicted by Don Quixote, Hamlet, and Faust at various times of our lives. The three represent levels of consciousness within us, each vying for dominance. Don Quixote portrays the innocent child, while Hamlet stands for our self-conscious need to act and feel in control though we have no real connection to our inner selves. Faust embodies the master of the true self, who has gained awareness by working through the stages.
Provides an illuminating explanation of the origins and meaning of romantic love and shows how a proper understanding of its psychological dynamics can revitalize our most important relationships.
A revised edition of a landmark work of psychology; the author uses the ancient myth of Amor and Psyche as the springboard for a brilliant, perceptive exploration of how one becomes a mature and complete woman.
The esteemed Jungian psychologist counsels on how to cope with
feelings of failure or regret in the latter half of life and how to
open to a more meaningful existence, even if outer circumstances
cannot be changed.
In "Living Your Unlived Life," the renowned therapist Robert A.
Johnson, writing with longtime collaborator and fellow Jungian
psychologist Jerry M. Ruhl, offers a simple but transformative
premise: Our abandoned, unrealized, or underdeveloped talents, when
they are not fully integrated into our lives, can become profoundly
troublesome in midlife, leading us to depression, suddenly hating
our spouses, our jobs, or even our lives. When our unlived lives
are brought to consciousness, however, they can become the fuel
that can propel us beyond our limitations?even if our outer
circumstances cannot always be visibly altered.
