The Tokugawa family held the shogunate from 1603 to 1867, ruling Japan and keeping the island nation isolated from the rest of the world for more than 250 years. Donald Keene looks within the "walls" of isolation and meticulously chronicles the period's vast literary output, providing both lay readers and scholars with the definitive history of premodern Japanese literature. World Within Walls spans the age in which Japanese literature began to reach a popular audience--as opposed to the elite aristocratic readers to whom it had previously been confined. Keene comprehensively treats each of the new, popular genres that arose, including haiku, Kabuki, and the witty, urbane prose of the newly ascendant merchant class.

In this series of commentaries J. Krishnamurti, one of the great thinkers of our time, touches upon many human problems-our hopes, our fears, our illusions, our beliefs, our prejudices-and in the simplest language seems to pierce to their roots."The sheer simplicity is breathtaking. The reader is given, in one paragraph, often in one sentence, enough to keep him exploring, questioning, thinking for days." -Anne Morrow Lindbergh."The insight, spiritual and poetic, of these commentaries is as simply expressed as it is searching in its demand."-Times Literary Supplement (London)."Krishnamurti is no other than he seems, a free man, one of the first quality, growing older as diamonds do but the gem-like flame not dating, and alive in these Commentaries. It is a treasure."-Francis Hacket, The New Republic.

A bestselling account of the many healings and other works of a legendary psychic and an affirmation of the belief in reincarnation. In this study of one of America’s greatest psychics, Edgar Cayce, Gina Cerminara explores the “magnificent possibility” of reincarnation as not only a method to understand our existence, but the truth of it. Using Cayce’s detailed and expansive files that span decades of his research and practice in the field of psychic phenomena, Cerminara delves into the essential essence of reincarnation and its purpose. Told winningly and to the heart of the matter, Many Mansions will be a revelation to many and a confirmation to some about the meaning of human life and the myriad of opportunities afforded to us by the existence of reincarnation. Praise for Many Mansions “Dr. Cerminara . . . is one of the most engaging and penetrating scholars in this field. . . . Perhaps the most attractive quality in her writing is the leavening of wit and insight which shines in these pages.” —Robert Kirsch, Los Angeles Times “Edgar Cayce was clearly one of the most remarkable psychics who ever lived. Gina Cerminara’s compelling book is . . . unique and extremely important.” —Jeane Dixon

provides a thorough and intelligent overview of alternative spirituality articulate, encouraging guidelines for readers attempting the same transformationKirkus Reviews (from the first edition) What would you do if overwhelming mystical experiences, both blissful and bewildering, abruptly appeared? What if culture, religion, or science could not explain them, and family and friends were unable or unwilling to understand? This happened to Craig Spielman right in the middle of his contemporary American life and successful professional career. Sudden, profound inner shifts led to years of inquiry to explain and assimilate them. A World Within begins with the story of Spielmans extraordinary struggle to live with a transformed inner world amid a continuing, conventional external existence. With insights from his journey, he provides an invaluable guide to spiritual discovery for those who wish to directly explore their divine potential comfortably for themselves. Spielman shows others how to: invite direct spiritual experience, apply practical ways to abandon fear, adopt a strategy for spiritual growth, and integrate spiritual discovery into everyday life. Increasingly, more people long to reconnect to the sacred, and feel a call to look inward for their essential identity. Purposeful exploration of ones true self can launch a great adventure that holds the promise of continually unfolding illumination, fulfillment, and growth. This compelling, down-to-earth guidebook offers support and direction so that anyone can navigate the terrain of spiritual awakening in modern times. Empowering yourself to discover who you truly are is your highest pursuit in life.From the Preface
