Introduction and Notes by Michael Irwin, Professor of English Literature, University of Kent at Canterbury. Set in Hardy's Wessex, Tess is a moving novel of hypocrisy and double standards.

It tells of Tess Durbeyfield, the daughter of a poor and dissipated villager, who learns that she may be descended from the ancient family of d'Urbeville. In her...

Das Echo unverarbeiterer Traumata aus vergangenen Zeiten und sogar früheren Leben belastet den modernen Menschen - körperlich, seelisch oder emotional. Doch welche Entstehungsgeschichte steht wirklich hinter diesen Traumatisierungen? In seiner gut 25-jährigen Tätigkeit als Reinkarnations- und Rückführungstherapeut stellt Maarten Oversier fest, dass die Ursachen der Probleme seiner Klienten eigentlich immer in drei typischen Bereichen der Geschichte liegen: in schockierenden und darum oft verdrängten...
