As we bask in the wake of completing the Wake, Toby and TJ welcome renowned author, librarian, academic, and bookfluencer George Koors to discuss how to get into the Wake, as well as what to do after it's done. We discuss the benefits and risks of BookTok, Bookstagram, and BookTube, the egalitarian nature of Joyce ensuring that through complexity all readers are rendered the same, and consider the dangers of placing beloved texts on syllabi. We discuss Taylor Swift, Ben Jonson, and Fyodor Dostoevsky, and George hits us with two monumental recommendations that will rattle your brain and strain at your wallet. To top it all, we get the world exclusive scoop on TJ's new play, learn the term "typoglycemia" and consider the weight we can place on art that survives time. We'd like to think WAKE is one of those survivors, as we enter our end-of-series hiatus...This week's chatters: George Koors, Toby Malone, TJ YoungReferencesGeorge's website: https://www.georgekoors.com/George on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gbk7288/ Always the Wanderer: https://www.amazon.com/Always-Wanderer-George-Bernard-Koors/dp/1936135159 George Koors - YouTubeLet's Talk About James Joyce's Finnegans Wake James Joyce's Finnegans Wake In Less Than 2 Minutes Arno Schmidt Zettels Traum (Bottom's Dream) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6088384 https://www.georgekoors.com/George's petition to make Zettels Traum accessible! https://www.georgekoors.com/post/help-me-fight-literary-gatekeeping-let-s-make-arno-schmidt-s-zettels-traum-more-accessible Carlos Fuentes Terra Nostra https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59415.Terra_Nostra?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=cbUx0TDs2A&rank=1 For early drops, community and show notes, join us at our free Patreon, at⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/wakepod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, or check out our Linktree, at⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/wake.pod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Fyodor Dostoevsky was facing a firing squad. He quietly counted the last moments of his life. Dostoevsky, a believer in Jesus, is considered one of the greatest writers in all of literature. His monumental novel, The Brothers Karamazov, explored themes about God, life, and death. It was said of Dostoevsky, “He spoke about Christ ecstatically.” The rifles raised. “Ready! . . . Aim . . .” Jesus, alluding to His own execution, speaks to His disciples and to us of the eternal value of life and death when He said, “The hour has come” (John 12:23). The image is a seed (our life), which produces a great harvest through its own sacrifice (v. 24). Jesus tells us not to love this life too much, for it is those who are willing to sacrifice this present life who will find “eternal life” (v. 25). These are hard words—we cherish our life on earth. But Jesus is saying that being His disciple requires sacrifice. We’re counseled to hold life loosely, to embrace the joy of the life to come, and to find our hope in His words, “My Father will honor the one who serves me” (v. 26). Fyodor looked death in the face. But a letter from the Czar was delivered at the last second. A reprieve. Dostoevsky’s life was spared, yet this experience would infuse all of his later works. Indeed, the epigraph of The Brothers Karamazov is this verse, John 12:24: “Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.”

With the Robert Pattinson starring film Mickey 17 fresh out in the cinema, Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode explore the world of doppelgangers and doubles on screen.Ellen speaks to academic and doppelganger scholar Adam Golub about the difference between clones and doppelgangers and what the doppelganger tells us about life in 2025. Ellen then talks to an actress about what its like playing a clone.Mark speaks to director Richard Ayoade about his 2013 film The Double. It stars Jesse Eisenberg and Mia Wasikowska and is an adaptation of the classic Fyodor Dostoevsky novel from 1866. Mark and Richard discuss adapting such a classic novel, the distinct look of the film and the idea of Jung's 'shadow self' and its influence on doubles on screen.Produced by Freya Hellier A Prospect Street production for BBC Radio 4

In my first two episodes I laid out geographically-oriented motivations for Crusading. This week we explore the religious motives of Crusaders. What were they offered by the papacy in return for joining a crusade? Was every Crusader on a journey of religious gain? Were Crusaders motivated either by their own poverty or a desire to evangelize pagans? Who was more likely to join a crusade, younger or elder brothers? Why? To develop our understanding of Medieval Catholic piety I explain and explore the Catholic practice of granting indulgences. I also warn us of running history through a sieve of chronological snobbery. Moreover, I address, yet again, the Postmodern interpretation of the Crusades and explain why that take is really just a cudgel to shame and silence Christians. In the show's opening theological reflection I ask, "what is faith?" To answer that I unpack the perspective of famed (by tormented) Russian author, Fyodor Dostoevsky, who famously once wrote, "beauty will save the world." I find both his insights about human nature and the nature of faith to be both helpful and true.

Geoff and Anna discuss THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD by Fyodor Dostoevsky translated by David McDuff.   This is a fictionalised account of the four years Dostoevsky spent in a Siberian prison camp after he was arrested for taking part in a political conspiracy.  Sold as a novel but with the feel of a documentary, it contains fascinating details and joins a collection of Russian prison memoirs.  Other books discussed: PATRIOT by Alexei Navalny translated by Arch Tait and Stephen Dalziel THE LONG WALK TO FREEDOM by Nelson Mandela  NO FRIEND BUT THE MOUNTAINS by Behrouz Boochani translated by Omid Tofighian A DAY IN THE LIFE OF IVAN DENISOVICH by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn  Coming up: THE SEASON by Helen Garner Follow us!

Send us a textWhat's the meaning of life? Why is there pain and suffering? How do you balance justice and love? These "accursed questions" have haunted humanity for centuries. Fyodor Dostoevsky sought to answer these questions through his characters' lives. His answers are prophetic for our time.In this episode, I sit down with Northwestern University professor of Russian literature Gary Saul Morson. We discuss what Dostoevsky reveals about developing intellectual honesty, how to deal with suffering and brokenness, as well as his arguments for and against God. His latest book, Wonder Confronts Certainty: Russian Writers on the Timeless Questions and Why Their Answers Matter, sets the stage for this interview sets the stage for this interview.Topics:The "Accursed Questions" of Russian LiteratureDostoevsky's Intellectual Honesty with FaithBattle-Testing Worldviews through FictionThe Dangers of Abstracting IndividualsNotes from Underground: Human Freedom vs DeterminismThe Core of Ethics: Human Surprisingness"What books have had an impact on you?""What advice do you have for teenagers?Bio:Gary Saul Morson is Lawrence B. Dumas Professor of the Arts and Humanities and Professor of Russian Literature at Northwestern University.   His 21 authored or edited volumes and 300 shorter publications have examined major Russian writers, the philosophy of time, the role of quotations in culture, great aphorisms, and the ultimate questions about life taken seriously in Russian literature.

Morson writes regularly for numerous national publications, including The New York Review of Books, The Wall Street Journal, Commentary, First Things, Mosaic, and several others.  He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1995Prof. Morson on the best Dostoevsky translations:“The best translations of Dostoevsky are by Constance Garnett or revisions of Garnett.  For Notes from Underground, use Garnett revised by Ralph Matlaw;  for The Brothers Karamazov, Garnett revised by Susan McReynolds;  and for The Possessed (Demons)be sure to use the Modern Library version of the Garnett translation with appendixes containing versions of a chapter he was not allowed to publish.”Socials -Lessons from Interesting People substack: https://taylorbledsoe.substack.com/Website: https://www.aimingforthemoon.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aiming4moon/Twitter: https://twitter.com/Aiming4Moon

Clear your bottle-weary heads and step away from the windowsill, dearest listeners – we are in pursuit of some revelry. Join us as we embark on the first part of our S3E4 rewatch, where we'll be pulling out our Fuller Library cards to read up on the tragedy of a spinster, the fabled Northwest Passage and dropsy of a Featherington's pancreas. As Pen finds herself called upon by a very fine bird and a questionable potted plant, we'll be crunching on mille-feuilles with the Marquess, lumbering in the hallway with Colin and checking the Bridgerton armour for signs of rust. But let's not miss the fruits of our labours, dearest listeners. Penelope may be getting a rather quick proposal tonight, but we're not quite ready to close the book on one particular history of connection. Can't help but be drawn back into a story of love, Miss Featherington?

It has become a Tik Tok sensation in recent months and Penguin has commissioned a new audiobook to be read by Bridgerton's Luke Thompson.  Dostoevsky was in his romantic, millennial era when he wrote this (notably, before he spent four years in prison and escaped a death sentence).

As we enter the season of Lent, the Lectionary appropriately takes us to the temptation of Christ. Before Jesus ever preached a sermon or worked a miracle, he faced off with the devil in the wilderness. And perhaps no one has explored the the temptation of Christ in a more profound way than Fyodor Dostoevsky did in his famous parable of "The Grand Inquisitor."

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 19th century novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky's work,The Brothers Karamazov, focusing on the theme articulated by the Grand Inquisitor, namely that he is part of a movement of the "intelligent people" in league with the "intelligent spirit" who aim to "correct the deed" or "work" of God. They choose to take on the hardship and trouble of managing matters in order to someday provide happiness to the majority of humanity Specifically it examines This lecture discusses key ideas from the 19th century novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky's work,The Brothers Karamazov, focusing on the fifth chapter of the fifth book, titled "The Grand Inquisitor", during which Ivan and Alyosha are engaged in philosophical discussion. Specifically it examines the Grand Inquisitor's explanation to Christ about how he and his colleagues have decided to free humanity of the burden of freedom.

You spot a large crow sitting on a chestnut tree branch. Suddenly you go back ten, maybe twenty years. An endlessly long literature class. To kill time, you look at the dusty leaves of the ficus on the windowsill, the utterly expressionless face of Fyodor Dostoevsky in the portrait above the blackboard, the deeply carved letter "A" on the desk, the delicate gold-rimmed glasses of Yulia Alexandrovna, the frozen soap streaks on the laminate floor, the scuffed shoes of your classmate Sashka, the tube of a fluorescent lamp that burned out six months ago and still hasn't been replaced… and the large crow sitting on the branch of an old birch tree in the schoolyard. If Tomo's mix for 5/8: radio had existed back then, you would've gladly slipped on your headphones and drowned in it. But alas. So instead, you had no choice but to watch the crow

All I ask is that you respect me as a human being." — Jackie Robinson ใช่ครับทุกคน ตั้งแต่ขอทานผู้ยากจน จนถึงพระมหากษัตริย์ผู้ทรงมั่งคั่ง คนทุกคนล้วนต้องการ การให้เกียรติต่อเขาหรือต่อพระองค์! แต่แท้จริงแล้ว ก่อนที่เราจะเรียกร้องให้ใครให้เกียรติกับเรา เราต้องรู้จักให้เกียรติแก่ตัวของเราเองก่อน! เหมือนคำกล่าวที่ว่า“ถ้าคุณต้องการให้คนอื่นให้เกียรติแก่คุณ สิ่งสำคัญก็คือจงให้เกียรติตัวคุณเองก่อนเพราะมีแต่โดยการให้เกียรติตัวคุณเองเท่านั้น คุณจึงจะทำให้คนอื่นยอมให้เกียรติแก่คุณ!”"If you want to be respected by others, the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.” — Fyodor Dostoevsky ขอพูดซ้ำอีกครั้งว่า การให้เกียรติตัวเราเอง และการให้เกียรติผู้อื่นนั้น สำคัญยิ่งเพราะว่า “การให้เกียรติตัวเอง จะนำให้เรามีศีลธรรม การให้เกียรติคนอื่น จะนำให้เรามีมารยาท!” "Respect for ourselves guides our morals, respect for others guides our manners." — Laurence Sterne ด้วยเหตุนี้ อย่าให้เราทำอะไร ที่ทำให้ตัวเอง1).ไม่มีเกียรติ 2).ไม่คู่ควรกับเกียรติ 3).เสื่อมและเสียเกียรติที่ได้รับมา หรือ4).ไปหลู่เกียรติผู้อื่น และหากว่าเราอยู่ในสภาวะใดสภาวะหนึ่งเช่นนั้น “เราต้องปรับปรุงแก้ไข ไม่ใช่เอาแต่แก้ตัว เราต้องแสวงหาการคู่ควรกับเกียรติ ไม่ใช่หาแต่ความสนใจ!”"Make improvements, not excuses.

Lessons from⁠Notes from Underground⁠ by Fyodor Dostoevsky.Dostoevsky is one of the greatest writers. His works include '⁠Brothers Karamazov⁠' and '⁠Crime and Punishment⁠'.'Notes from Underground' is considered the first work of existential literature. The Underground Man rejects rationalism and utilitarianism because it deprives humans of free will and dignity. He is self-loathing, intelligent and vengeful. He considers himself an anti-hero who doesn't care about anyone or anything and would rather watch the world burn so long as he can drink his tea.Ways to Support:Substack:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ijmakan.substack.com/subscribe?=⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://becomingantifragile.com/support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Art:⁠https://ikranrinmakan.com/

Send us a textRev'd Jon Swales 2025, after reading  the words of Father Zosima in Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov (Book Two, Chapter Three: )Do not be afraid.  Bid farewell to fear.  There is no shadow so deep  that love cannot reach it,  no sin so vast  it could exhaust the boundless  mercy of God.  Repentance is  but a turning,  a quiet yielding to the truth  that grace flows unending,  even to the farthest places of the heart.  Imagine this:  more rejoicing in heaven  over one who returns,  broken and bare,  than over those who never strayed.  Do not carry the weight of bitterness;  forgiveness is yours—  a balm to wounds unseen,  a release into freedom.  If you repent,  you will find love waiting,  calling your name,  not as a distant promise,  but as the ground beneath your feet.  And in love,  you are one with God,  who does not count wrongs  but gathers all things into wholeness.  There is not a hurt he will not heal.Even now,  with your sin,  in your brokenness,  you are loved.  Even the weight you carry  becomes but a thread in the tapestry of redemption.  Love is treasure enough,  a beauty to redeem the world,  to cover every failure.  You see—  you will one day behold its face,  and Love Himself will win.  So go,  with no fear,  and let love be your guide.

Episode Summary:I distinctly remember sitting in the back row of sixth grade art class in Jonesboro, Arkansas and saying to myself, “I am NOT CREATIVE!” I couldn't draw a lick. While my friends brought forth beautiful sketches and lovely paintings their parents would proudly hang on the refrigerator, I looked down at my work with disdain. My parents should burn this. I am not creative.That thought stayed with me for decades, until I realized I was in fact creative, just in different ways. I still can't draw or paint to save my life, but I love the creative process of writing and creating meaningful conversations. Regardless of your artistic aspirations and talents, “We were created to be creators. At its deepest heart, creativity is meant to serve and evoke beauty,” writes Irish poet and seer John O'Donohue.Creativity brings the ideal into the real. Maybe that is why Fyodor Dostoevsky proclaimed, “Beauty will save the world,” hinting that the way things currently are aren't the way they will always be.Whether you realize it or not, you are creative! You were born with gifts and talents that only you can give the world. The first step towards claiming this Divine inheritance is recognizing that you are a sacred, creative being. As today's podcast guest Ally Markotich reveals, “When we claim ourselves as creators, our life becomes a creative adventure; even mundane moments become ripe with possibility for transformation.”The mystical and often illusive creative flow weaves through every human heart. How do you capture her presence? What sparks your creative spirit? As Caitlin Matthews writes in her book The Celtic Spirit, “There are many ideas and inspirations wandering throughout the world. They seem to be shaken like stardust over everything, to be caught in handfuls by those who are ready to receive them.”Our task as co-creators is to join God in bringing forth the beautiful future God has promised. To help us in that eternal work, I am joined on the podcast by Ally Markotich.In this episode we discuss:How creativity is a form of resistance to dominator agendas and beliefsWhy authoritarian leaders are terrified of artistsHow to awaken your inner, creative soulThe relationship between spirituality and creativityHow seeing God in female form opens your heart to the beautifulWhy beauty mattersBio:Ally Markotich is an artist, poet and Creative Formation Practitioner.

Fyodor Dostoevsky is considered one of history's greatest novelists, but he is also one of history's greatest psychologists. His stories contain depictions of characters who span the spectrum of human personality, from those of abject evil, to those saintly in nature. Friedrich Nietzsche was so impressed with the works of Dostoevsky that in a letter […] The post Fyodor Dostoevsky – The Wisdom of a Genius first appeared on Academy of Ideas.

We discuss Fyodor Dostoevsky's advice about lying, Matt's desire to be a good father, sourdough bread, and turtles all the way down. “Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love, and in order to occupy and distract himself without love he gives way to passions and coarse pleasures, and sinks to bestiality in his vices, all from continual lying to other men and to himself. The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than any one. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exagerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it, and so pass to genuine vindictiveness.” - Fyodor Dostoevsky x.com/mattmccloskey

This episode, two ridiculous men, Garrett and Mike, discuss the short story "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man" by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Link to the story online: https://gustavus.edu/threecrowns/files/The%20Dream%20of%20a%20Ridiculous%20Man,%20Fyodor%20Dostoevsky.pdf

Kate Wolf and Medaya Ocher are joined by the editorial director of the New York Review of Books and the founder of the NYRB classic series, Edwin Frank, to discuss his first work of nonfiction, the book, Stranger than Fiction: Lives of the Twentieth Century Novel. Taking the novel as the preeminent art form of the last century, Frank's book charts its winding path of development, beginning with Fyodor Dostoevskey's Notes from the Underground, published in 1864, and ending with W.G. Sebald's Austerlitz which arrived more than a 100 years later. Along the way, Frank looks at the many different forms and categories great 20th century novels take, from the distinctly modern and popular science fiction of H.G. Wells to the “minorness” of Franz Kafka; the historical precision of Thomas Mann to Gerturde Stein's stress on sentence itself, and James Joyce's stress on words. The book connects an eclectic collection of authors by way of style, sensibility, reception, temporality, and perhaps most importantly the influence of cataclysmic world events on their work and the shaping of their work on the world.

In The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoevsky explores the complexities of faith, doubt, and human suffering, themes that resonate deeply with the Torah portion Vayera. This parsha, which includes God's covenant with Abraham, the binding of Isaac, and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, delves into questions of divine justice, mercy, and the challenges of belief in a world rife with moral ambiguity. Abraham's struggle with God's command to sacrifice Isaac mirrors the spiritual torment faced by Dostoevsky's characters, particularly Ivan Karamazov, who questions a God that allows innocent suffering. Just as Abraham grapples with the incomprehensible demand of God, Ivan's rebellion against a world that includes suffering and injustice reflects the existential tension between faith and doubt. The visitation of the angels to Abraham and Sarah in Vayera offers a contrast to Ivan's bleak worldview, pointing to the possibility of divine intervention and grace, yet it is also an invitation to wrestle with the profound mystery of God's ways—much like the moral and spiritual wrestling that defines Dostoevsky's exploration of human existence. In both the Torah portion and the novel, the search for meaning in suffering leads to a confrontation with the divine that is both transformative and deeply unsettling.

"Your worst sin is that you've destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing." These were the words of Rodion Raskolnikov, the protagonist in Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. Today John Lovell joins us in studio to unravel how this plays out in the life of modern day men; men who sabotage (often unwittingly) the success of their very own lives.

Can murder ever be justified for the greater good? Today, we will walk through the twisted streets of St. Petersburg, depicted by the brilliant yet tormented mind of Fyodor Dostoevsky. Crime and Punishment is more than a novel—it's a psychological odyssey into the depths of guilt, redemption, and the human soul. Joining us is Dr. Julia Titus from Yale University, she is the author of Dostoevsky as a Translator of Balzac (2022).  Dr. Titus will help us unravel the moral complexities and existential questions that continue to fascinate us over a century later.Recommended Reading: Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment (1866)This podcast is sponsored by Riverside, a professional conference platform for podcasting.Comment and interact with our hostsBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Ne félj a megszállottságtól!  Részegh Botond - MÓKA Podcast ep. 210 ⬇️Scroll down for english⬇️ Üdvözöllek! A podcastünk vendége Részegh Botond! Ha készen állsz arra, hogy egy olyan művészeti utazásra indulj, amely tele van robbanékony energiával és szellemes nyersességgel, akkor itt a helyed!   Botond Részegh festményei nemcsak vizuális orgazmusok, hanem egyfajta kulturális művek, amelyek éppolyan sokszínűek, mint a Netflix kínálata egy forró nyári napon. Képei nemcsak azt kérdezik tőled, hogy "Mi az élet értelme?", hanem azt is, hogy "Mennyire fontos a hajmosás a társadalmi hierarchiában?".   A Részegh-stílus nem csak vakáció a retinádnak, hanem egy teljes kalandtúra az emberi lélek mély bugyraiba. Botond nem csak ecsettel fest, hanem olyan szavakkal is, amelyek megérintik a szívedet, mintha egy kórus lenne a lelked börtönei mélyéről.   De ne higgy nekem, nézd meg magadnak! A festmények megtekinthetők nemzetközi kiállításokon is, szóval ha valaha arra jársz, és elkap az érdeklődés, akkor ne habozz beugrani! Sőt, Botond munkái nemcsak múzeumokban és galériákban vannak, hanem még a ferences pápa, az Északkeleti Egyetem és a Prahova Művészeti Múzeum gyűjteményében is ott lapulnak!   Részegh Botond nem csupán egy művész, hanem egy kulturális kánaán, ahol a festmények nem csak nézegetésre szolgálnak, hanem életpályaként a lélek számára. Tehát ha készen állsz az utazásra, akkor irány a csatorna, és fedezd fel a festészet új dimenzióit!   Infused with explosive energy and visceral rawness, Botond Részegh's paintings simultaneously invoke poetry, history, literature, metaphysics and the artist's own contemporary experience. His pictorial language is distinguished by an idiosyncratic vocabulary of figurative forms and gestural lines. Repeating motifs of solitary figures, anatomical structures and distorted bodies in motion, rendered in bold, rough brushwork, swell with emotion and rigor.   Részegh draws inspiration from literature, art history and philosophy: a wall in his studio is adorned by portraits of influential artists and literary figures, including Fyodor Dostoevsky, Oscar Wilde and Rainer Maria Rilke. While developing an artistic language that is unmistakably contemporary and entirely his own, Részegh grounded himself in the tradition that began with Leonardo Da Vinci and Rembrandt and extended through Francis Bacon, Cy Twombly, Alberto Burri into the spare and expressive figuration by Susan Rothenberg. His engagement with art historical influences is rich and varied. The unostentatious simplicity in Christian Orthodox icon paintings and the meticulousness in ancient Greek vases captivated Részegh's imagination when he was a graphic arts student at the National University of Fine Arts in Bucharest. Upon a life-defining encounter with Dostoevsky's novel, The Idiot, Részegh decided to become an artist. An enduring interest in literature naturally became a part of Részegh's creative process, although there has never been a direct literary transcription in his paintings. Writings by acclaimed contemporary poets and novelists in Romania and Hungary often accompany Részegh's publications. Viewing Részegh's arresting work demands time and contemplation. More than simply a reflection of the artist's inner state of mind, the work asks the viewer to be aware of their own thoughts and to engage freely and imaginatively beneath the tactility of the painted surface.   Born in Romania in 1977, Botond Részegh currently lives and works in Miercurea Ciuc, Romania and Budapest, Hungary. Részegh has exhibited internationally at venues such as the Art Museum Cluj Napoca, The National Museum of Art of Romania, The Museum of Art Timisoara, the Viltin Gallery Budapest, the Hungarian Cultural Institute in Rome and the Romanian Culture Institute in Vienna. His work belongs in the collections of Pope Francis, Northeastern University and the Art Museum of Prahova, among others. Részegh graduated from the National University of Fine Arts in Bucharest, where he specialized in graphic arts. He also attended a doctoral program at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts in Budapest.    #RészeghBotond #Festmények #Képzőművészet #KulturálisÉlmény #MagyarMűvészet #KortársFestészet #Ecsetkezelés #MűvészetiInspiráció #MetafizikaAFestészetben #BotondRészeghMűvészete #KreatívFolyamat #FestőiExpresszió #Szürrealizmus #Művészettörténet #MűvészetiKözösség

“Before there was a West, there was Christendom.” Fr. John Strickland has written a monumental four-part history of Christendom—from the first millennium of Christendom which he deems “the age of paradise” to our current cultural condition which he labels “the age of nihilism.” telling the story of how both came to be.On this episode Fr. John Strickland joins Hank to discuss Christendom's most tumultuous century. As nihilism began to cast its menacing shadow on the eve of the First World War, a self-styled “antichrist” named Friedrich Nietzsche and an obstinately Christian Fyodor Dostoevsky both offered ominous visions of what the West would become if “God is dead” and any moral act thus becomes permissible. Though total warfare seemed to confirm such predictions, a project arose in its wake to rebuild utopia with secular ideologies that, in the case of Nazism, opened the abyss even further. Communism and liberalism were left after the Second World War to compete for ultimate preeminence, but both would ultimately fail to replace the lost transcendence of the West's deep first-millennium past. As the twenty-first century opened, utopia was as elusive as ever, and a culture of paradise once again beckoned to a civilization exhausted by centuries of secularism.Topics discussed include: What is the age of nihilism? (2:30); the impact and enduring legacy of Friedrich Nietzsche (9:00); Friedrich Nietzsche and the transvaluation of values (16:35); ideas have consequences—atheism always leads towards self-destruction (21:15); Nietzsche was the leading prophet of nihilism, the destruction of anything with value (31:40); Sigmund Freud's impact on the age of nihilism (37:50); the rise of communism and the practical consequences of a world without God (43:00); how nihilism emboldens communism to manipulate Truth—as seen with Pravda (47:20); ideological worldbuilding—the efforts of the powers that be to break the influence of traditional values in society (57:25); ideological worldbuilding, Social Darwinism and Nazism (1:05:25); the individualistic legacy of liberalism (1:11:00); abortion as an unassailable value and ideal of liberalism  (1:18:30); how liberalism is a counterfeit of traditional Christianity (1:20:20); “Without God anything is permissible”—Fyodor Dostoevsky and the importance of repentance (1:24:15); Dostoevsky's conviction (1:29:30); Putin on how progressivism leads to nihilism (1:34:00); transgenderism as the ultimate personification of nihilism (1:41:20); Christians must be a lighthouse in the midst of our current cultural storm—the paradisiacal transformation of the culture through the life of the Church (1:48:40).For more information on receiving The Age of Paradise, The Age of Division, The Age of Utopia, and the Age of Nihilism individually, as a package of two or three or the full 4 Volume set for your partnering gift please click here.  https://www.equip.org/product/cri-resource-the-age-of-paradise-the-age-of-division-the-age-of-utopia-the-age-of-nihilism-4-volumes-on-ages-of-christendom-hup/Listen to Hank's podcast and follow Hank off the grid where he is joined by some of the brightest minds discussing topics you care about.

Stories have a profound way of shaping us. They form our attention, affections, and our character, for better or worse. That's why reading what's good, true, and beautiful matters—and this takes practice. Jessica Hooten Wilson returns to the podcast to help us embrace the practice of reading as a means of spiritual formation.     Doubts and hard questions are a welcome part of the Christian life. But many young Christians today are being encouraged to “deconstruct” their faith. Culture becomes the standard of truth instead of Scripture, and many young believers walk away from faith altogether. To help the Church offer a better way to those who are deconstructing, Alisa Childers and Tim Barnett have written The Deconstruction of Christianity. They define what deconstruction really is, why it's appealing to so many, and why it's harmful. They also equip us to love those who are deconstructing by welcoming the hard questions while also upholding truth. This month, get a copy of The Deconstruction of Christianity by giving a gift of any amount to the Colson Center at colsoncenter.org/swdeconstruction  Reading for the Love of God by Jessica Hooten Wilson  The Scandal of Holiness by Jessica Hooten Wilson   A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens  Christ and Apollo: The Dimensions of the Literary Imagination by William F.
