Fed up with working for Time magazine in London, Wendell Steavenson spent two years in the former Soviet republic of Georgia. Stories I Stole captures, the exuberance of a fledgling nation of local despots, mountain tribes, blood feuds, and an unlimited flow of red wine. From President Shevardnadze's rigged elections to horse races high in the mountains; from the eerie roadside artifacts of the Soviet era to the farcical power outages in the dead of winter, here is Georgia: weird, invigorating, and still coming to grips with the legacy of its most famous son, Joseph Stalin. Far more than a travel book, this is a scintillating menagerie of true stories peopled by vivid--and sometimes insane--characters. In the beach resort of Sukhumi, once the destination of every fashionable Russian but now wracked by civil war, Wendell plays hangman with a secret policeman. In the capital Tbilisi--ensconced in Levan's Magic Room or lounging in the steam baths--she hears about the latest duel or kidnapping. In Khevsureti, the meadows are dotted with blue-painted beehives and yellow flowers, while just over the border, there is war in Chechnya.

Relevant to parents of toddlers as well as of twentysomethings-and of special value to parents of teens-this book is a rallying cry for those who wish to ensure that the next generation can take charge of their Stories I Stole from Georgia free pdf own lives with competence and confidence. With great empathy, delicacy, and directness, Peter Selg recounts, in three lectures, the moving story of Ita Wegman and her relationship with Rudolf Steiner in the context of the development of anthroposophic medicine and the formation of the Medical Section of the School for Spiritual Science. Steiner had suffered patiently until the right person-Ita Wegman-arrived to guide spiritual science's healing mission into the medical fi eld. In the fall of 1920, Ita Wegman founded a medical clinic in Arlesheim. From then on, she and Rudolf Steiner worked together, both medically and spiritually, gradually unveiling a karmic working relationship unique in Steiner's life. Thus the stage is set. The second lecture focuses on anthroposophic curative education: ..". the social center, the heart even, of Ita Wegman's 'Medical Section.' To make a commitment to children with severe obstacles in their incarnation, out of spiritual insight into the human being and the wider karmic context, and to make this commitment as a group of people working out of a Christian-religious impulse-this was for Ita Wegman the true anthroposophic medicine." Dr. Selg then describes Dr. Wegman's heroic eff orts to create a true community of physicians working anthroposophically out of Rudolf Steiner's indications and in the spirit of Christ; how she looked after her colleagues, always seeking to wake them up "to the destiny of their own being." As well, she sought to resist all that was happening in Nazi Germany, never forgetting Rudolf Steiner's warning: "In the future the Anthroposophical Society will be faced with the crucial decision of whether responsibilities will be met or not..." And here exactly lies the heart of this wonderful book: the inner struggle to make love responsible.
