It centers on one of the most psychological movements of the prescientific age -- Renaissance Italy, where a group of 'inner Columbuses' charted territories that still give us today a much- needed sense of who we are and where we have come from, and the right routes to take toward fertile and unexplored places.   Chief among these masters of the interior life was Marsilio Ficino, presiding genius of the Florentine Academy, who taught that all things exist in soul and must be lived in its light. This study of Ficino broadens and deepens our understanding of psyche, for Ficino was a doctor of soul, and his insights teach us the care and nurture of soul.   Moore takes as his guide Ficino?s own fundamental tool -- imagination. Respecting the integrity and autonomy of images, The Planets Within unfolds a poetics of soul in a kind of dialogue between the laconic remarks of Ficino and the need to give these remarks a life and context for our day.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295552582005,"sku":"9780940262287","price":19.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780940262287_f88228cb-b212-426e-afab-b558788357c4.jpg?v=1786015649"},{"product_id":"9780749941208","title":"Care Of The Soul","description":"\u003cp\u003eCARE OF THE SOUL, Thomas Moore's worldwide bestseller which has sold over a millions copies, is a powerful and uplifting book which offers a new way of thinking about daily life - its problems and its creative opportunities.

It is how you think about this rhythm of moods that makes all the difference.   Our lives are filled with 'dark nights': the loss of a loved one or end of a relationship, ageing and illness, career disappointments or simply an ongoing sense of dissatisfaction with life. These experiences are often framed as obstacles to be overcome as quickly as possible.

Dark Nights of the Soul offers an uplifting and inspiring new outlook on life by framing these metaphoric dark nights not as the enemy, but as times of transition, occasions to restore yourself and important rites of passage. Moore shares how we can connect with the healing power of melancholy and learn to find meaning and beauty in the darkness.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56367988179317,"sku":"9780349447216","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780349447216_f28f6b06-46a8-4e03-adc2-f3b0834423f6.jpg?v=1786033533"},{"product_id":"memoirs-of-the-life-of-the-right-honourable-richard-brinsley-sheridan","title":"Memoirs of the Life of the Right Honourable Richard Brinsley Sheridan","description":"Best known for The Rivals and The School for Scandal, Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816) was already a celebrated comic playwright when he entered Parliament in 1780. Turning his wit and talent as a writer to political oratory, he won acclaim for his speeches in the House of Commons. As an independent-minded Whig, he had to reconcile his distrust of monarchical power with his role as friend and confidant to the future George IV. Sheridan's was ultimately a turbulent life, rocked by affairs, heavy drinking and constant debt. This successful and influential two-volume biography, first published in 1825, was written by the poet Thomas Moore (1779–1852), who went on to chart the life of Lord Byron. Volume 2 covers Sheridan's political career, his speeches in Parliament and his final years, closing with reflections on his life.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57483427479925,"sku":"9781108065016","price":38.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781108065016.jpg?v=1786178591"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-thomas-moore.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
