Title
A History of the Heart,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
My heart is a lonely hunter that hunts on a lonely hill. The heart has reason that reason cannot know. The more I get to know President Putin, the more I get to see his heart and soul. The heart not only drives our physical life, but throughout human history it has also been viewed at the seat of our deepest emotions. It has figured hugelyif metaphoricallyin nearly every aspect of human civilization and as the unending subject of literature, music, and art. Yet until now there has not been a study of this paramount icon of love. Ole Hystad ably fills this enormous gap with a fascinating investigation into this locus of grief, joy, and power. Firmly positioning the heart at the metaphorical and literal center of human culture and history, Hystad weaves history, myth, and science together into a compelling narrative. He combs through religions and philosophies from the beginning of civilization to explore such disparate historical points as the Aztec ritual of removing the stillbeating heart from a living sacrificial victim and offering it to the gods; homosexuality and the heart in Greek antiquity; European attempts to employ alchemy in service of the mysteries of love; and the connections between the heart and wisdom in Sufism. Hystad charts how the heart has signified our essential desires, whether for love and passion in the medieval excesses of troubadour poetry and chivalric idealism, the bodysoul dualism propounded by the Enlightenment, or even the modern notions of individualism expressed in the works of such thinkers as Nietzsche, Foucault, and Joseph Campbell.A provocative examination of the deepest vaults of our souls and the efforts of the many lonely hunters who have tried to unlock its secrets, A History of Heart upends the clichs to reveal a symbol of our fundamental humanity whose beats can be felt in every aspect of our lives.
