The internal corrosion of the human mind has fascinated writers from many cultures, but there are few cultures that produced such a broad spectrum of works that analyze the psyche during the nineteenth century as did Russia. When one thinks of tortuous conditions in Russia, one often thinks of the pogroms of Joseph Stalin, as he brutally brought the idealism of the Communist takeover to heel, making the country an immense network of fear and betrayal, as no one person wanted to be the one to inform on his neighborhood, but even less desirable than that was the role of ...

Introduction

"The Name of the Rose," which is written by Umberto Eco is a representation of the difference between superstition and truth.

It was correspondingly a representation of the importance of aspects of reality in finding the truth about certain situations. The book is centered on religious principles and doctrines and implores the reader to look at the reality that surpasses superstition and religious doctrines. It has employed the use of literary devices in its plot and uses aspects of rhetoric to pass the different ...

Introduction

A monk’s lifestyle exemplifies a lifestyle of calm, introspection and general good health. Most people, however, cannot afford to live a monk’s lifestyle, and have to find a way to maintain their sanity and health.

Introduction

The life and death of Grigori Rasputin has become something of a legend. Its historical significance and truthfulness is not fully authenticated, with some stories embellished or plainly misremembered. There are little facts between the night he disappeared and the day his body was retrieved from the river (King, p. 10). The official police investigation reported a solved murder case even when it was not the real case. Hence, the world is left with Rasputin’s memoirs and the names of his killers, Felix Yusupovand and Vladimir Purishkevich (Trounev, p. 12). As the Soviets came into power, most of the documents ...

An Analysis

Katherine Min’s short story, ‘Courting a Monk’ deals ostensibly with how the narrator, Gina, met, courted and married her husband, but Min uses the story to explore issues of cultural identity, the nature of Buddhist belief, the tensions between her and her father, and, ultimately, the meaning of life. The story might be said, very broadly, to deal with the problems of how immigrants to the U.S.A. assimilate and how we define national identity. Throughout the story Min uses images of stillness contrasted with images of rapid and movement, and also uses people’s attitudes to words and language, ...

Since we are looking for disability, the reader should assume that any disability term in this paper would be disease in Boorse account. In addition, there are some terms, ...

Discussion on the Record of Linji

It is for this reason that his question to the head priest, Huangbo, brought him the beating that is the norm in the Buddhist teachings.

The teachings that Linji adhered to were part of the Buddhist monastery teaching that involved beating and shouting. He asked the question three times, and was beaten three times. The idea was for him to receive enlightenment, but he clearly did not get that. If he had been mindful and enlightened, there would have been no need for him ...

The musician playing the guitar (which is coloured yellow) is almost obscured by the one playing the flute. The accordion player who is situated at the back is almost ...
