Whether it is sex, drugs, or infatuation with the occult, Mrs. Manford and her extended family of socialites are determined to escape the pain, boredom, and emptiness of life through whatever form of “twilight sleep” they can devise or procure. Far ahead of its time, this Wharton classic employed modernist techniques such as an ever changing narration among the novel’s characters and a close examination of the characters’ self-identities and relationships with one another to tell a tale rich with irony and wit about the upper crust’s own undoing.

La 16 ani, Edith Eger a fost trimisă la Auschwitz. La câteva ore după ce părinții ei au fost gazați, ofițerul nazist dr. Josef Mengele a forțat-o pe Edie să danseze și a lăsat-o în viață ca să-l distreze. Edie a fost scoasă dintr-o grămadă de cadavre de către soldații americani care au eliberat lagărele în 1945.

Dieren en mensen hebben een ongelofelijke interactie en dus invloed op elkaar. In de dierenkliniek die mijn man en ik hebben merken we dat dagelijks. Dat kan in positieve zin zijn maar ook in negatieve zin zijn. Mensen houden van dieren maar wat zij liefhebben is vaak een projectie van zichzelf op het dier en zijn aard. Dieren kunnen daardoor niet duidelijk gezien worden voor wie ze zijn en voor hun eigen ware aard. In deze Podcast vertel ik op een toegankelijke manier meer over de interactie tussen mensen en dieren via Animal Design en Human Design.
