(P/B) BREAKING DOWN THE WALL OF SILENCE
TO JOIN THE WAITING CHILD
Εκδότης: VIRAGO
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0662-0011

Alice Miller has achieved recognition for her revolutionary work on the causes and effects of child abuse - here she works towards demolishing the wall of silence which surrounds the sufferings of early childhood as they affect everyday life, politics, the media, psychiatry and psychotherapy. An infant's trust and dependency on its parents, its longing to be loved and be able to love in return, are boundless. To exploit this dependency, to confuse a child's longings and abuse its trust by pretending that this is somehow good for it, Alice ...

Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0662-0122

Dulcie Mainwaring is always helping others, but never looks out for herself - especially in the realm of love.

AND OTHER STORIES
Εκδότης: VIRAGO
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0662-0029

How long he fought with them in the darkness he could not tell, but at last the beating of the wings about him lessened and then withdrew...' A classic of alienation and horror, 'The Birds' was immortalised by Hitchcock in his celebrated film. The five other chilling stories in this collection echo a sense of dislocation and mock man's sense of dominance over the natural world. The mountain paradise of 'Monte Verit?' promises immortality, but at a terrible price; a neglected wife haunts her husband in the form of an apple tree; a professio...

Εκδότης: VIRAGO
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0662-0114

High in the Himalayas, the mountaintop palace shines like a jewel. Built for the General's harem, laughter and music once floated out over the gorge. Now it sits abandoned, windswept and haunting.

Close to the heavens, the nuns feel inspired, working fervently to establish their school and hospital. But as the isolation and emptiness of the mountain become increasingly unsettling, passions long repressed emerge wi...

Her husband Rodney, a handsome army major, is slightly balder and fatter than he once was. Wilmet would like to think she has changed rather less. Her interest wanders to the nearby Anglo-catholic church, where at last she can neglect her comfortable household in the more serious-minded company of three unmarried priests, and, of course, Piers Longridge, a man of an unfathomably different character altogether.
