Carlton, UK, 2001. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. Vaastu was originally an architectural philosophy, governing the situation and building of temples, and later homes. A common misconception nowadays is that vaastu is a sort of Indian feng shui, but this is not strictly so. Feng shui deals with the placement of objects within a home, while vaastu is ultimately concerned with the value of the person within that home. According to the principles of vaastu, you can organise your home, but if you do not organise yourself as well on a spiritual basis, all that work will be in vain. Vaastu sees the home as a physical manifestation of the order of the cosmos - you need harmony, sound structure and balance to achieve a suitable habitation for such a celestial being as yourself. The journey into the home is also a journey into one's self and vaastu lays down the foundations for this journey. The centre of any vaastu home is the puja - the prayer room.

Penguin Classics, London, 2001. Softcover. Good Condition. Film Tie-in Thackeray's upper-class Regency world is a noisy and jostling commercial fairground, predominantly driven by acquisitive greed and soulless materialism, in which the narrator himself plays a brilliantly versatile role as a serio-comic observer. Although subtitled A Novel without a Hero, Vanity Fair follows the fortunes of two contrasting but inter-linked lives: through the retiring Amelia Sedley and the brilliant Becky Sharp, Thackeray examines the position of women in an intensely exploitative male world. When Vanity Fair was published in 1848, Charlotte Bronte commented: `The more I read Thackeray'sworks the more certain I am that he stands alone - alone in his sagacity, alone in his truth, alone in his feeling... Thackeray is a Titan.' Edited by John Carey. 867 pages. Item Type: Film Tie-in. Pages browned at edges. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 1-2 kilos. Category: Literature; Literature… Read More
