Abstract

A family drama exploring grief and emotional rebirth in the aftermath of tragedy. Set in rural Shropshire, over a single day in the month of May (reflecting the brief but dramatic lifecycle of the mayfly). It begins with Ben being saved from drowning by a younger man, Harry in what it transpires was an ineffectual suicide attempt. Ben returns home to his family: to his daughter Loops, today exchanging her usual camouflage attire for her mother's red dress in preparation for a date; and to his wife, Cat, who, though consumed with grief for her dead son, has been awakened to new possibilities by reading her stars: "Today a very special person will appear from out the blue"

Abstract

The course of human life, punctuated by unexpected and transformative moments, is never uniform. What are the characteristics of such life-defining moments, what responses do they evoke, and how do they transform the lives of those who experience them? In Vivo explores foundational questions and pivotal moments of the human experience – engagement with a foreign culture, the decision to break free from unfortunate experiences, a generous action undertaken in the context of an otherwise regular day – in terms of their life-altering potential. Through illustrative examples, both real and fictional, Csepregi reveals the primacy of personal feelings in shaping human life and demonstrates the formative power of spontaneity outside the traditional context of formal education. These moments, and particularly the way they disrupt ordinary temporal order, Csepregi argues, are the lived experiences of our vitality. In an age marked by increasing anxiety about the homogenizing tendencies of contemporary life, In Vivo is timely and revelatory. Informed by a range of philosophical thinking and examples from art, music, and literature, it illustrates opportunities for meaningful reflection that are available to everyone, and urges the reader to engage with them.

Abstract

Epic, mesmerising and deeply humane, Lessons is a chronicle for our times - a powerful meditation on history and humanity through the prism of one man's lifetime. While the world is still counting the cost of the Second World War and the Iron Curtain has descended, young Roland Baines's life is turned upside down. Stranded at boarding school, his vulnerability attracts his piano teacher, Miriam Cornell, leaving scars as well as a memory of love that will never fade. Twenty-five years later, as the radiation from the Chernobyl disaster spreads across Europe, Roland's wife mysteriously vanishes and he is forced to confront the reality of his rootless existence and look for answers in his family history. From the fall of the Berlin Wall to the Covid pandemic and climate change, Roland sometimes rides with the tide of history but more often struggles against it. Haunted by lost opportunities, he seeks solace through every possible means - literature, travel, friendship, drugs, politics, sex and love. Roland's story asks can we take full charge of the course of our lives without damage to others? And what can we learn from the traumas of the past?

Abstract

Le temps est un facteur intrinseque de la vie humaine et il englobe chacune des experiences ephemeres de nos existences. Cet ouvrage projette un eclairage nouveau sur la nature et la portee de ses moments uniques et marquants de la vie humaine. In vivo explore des questions fondamentales et des moments cruciaux de l'existence humaine -- l'entree en interaction avec une culture etrangere, la decision de se sortir d'une condition de vie routiniere ou malheureuse, une action genereuse posee dans un contexte quotidien ordinaire -- en fonction de leur potentiel de transformation de l'existence. En recourant à des illustrations tirees de la vie reelle et d'oeuvres de fiction, Gabor Csepregi revele le rôle primordial des sentiments personnels dans le façonnement de la vie humaine et demontre le pouvoir formateur de la spontaneite en dehors du contexte traditionnel de l'education formelle. Ces moments, et notamment la façon dont ils perturbent l'ordre temporel ordinaire constituent des experiences vecues de notre vitalite.
