Catherine Barry

An uplifting, emotionally powerful tale of a woman trying to conquer her pill addiction—and the support she finds along the way. While her children are away, Olivia Clarke wants to take the opportunity to confront an issue she’s been in denial about for too long. Her use of sedatives has become a problem—and she’s going to admit herself to a psychiatric hospital to get to the root of her stubborn addiction. It’s time to finally turn her life around. A boyfriend who’s also an addict, a family who don’t understand mental illness, children who compound her sense of failure and guilt—all add to the difficulties on the rocky road to recovery. But Olivia quickly makes friends at the facility. Soon, she can’t help getting caught up in the lives of the others in this close-knit group. What’s causing Hannah’s depression? Why is Bette convinced she has cancer, no matter what the doctors tell her? Is there more to Poxy’s story about his dead son than he’s letting on? But while Olivia feels compelled to find the answers for everyone else, she still has to find the strength to face her own demons . . .

This Woman's Work

Filled with her characteristic bend of humour and pathos, Catherine Barry introduces us to Finn, a young woman struggling to come to terms with growing up and her need to feel more feminine. Finn has felt unhappy with her chest size since she was a girl and decides that her failed relationships, dysfunctional childhood and poor job prospects can all be put down to the fact that her image is lacking. Everywhere she turns thin, large breasted, beautiful women assault her. She is convinced that with bigger breasts she will finally be happy, she will finally be a 'real woman'. Indeed, post-operative Finn's life changes dramatically, but is it all she imagines?

Wolf-Peter Funk

Occupant la presque totalite du Codex VIII, Zostrien est le plus long traite de la Bibliotheque de Nag Hammadi. Il figure aussi au premier plan de l'histoire des idees dans l'Antiquite tardive, puisqu'il fut lu et refute dans l'ecole de Plotin, a Rome, dans la seconde moitie du IIIe siecle, et qu'il presente des paralleles frappants avec une des sources utilisees par Marius Victorinus. Par son fort contenu philosophique, Zostrien jette un eclairage nouveau sur l'histoire du platonisme avant et autour de Plotin. La presente edition offre un texte copte nouvellement etabli de cette oeuvre capitale, accompagnee d'une traduction francaise, d'une ample introduction, d'un commentaire exhaustif et d'index complets greco-copte, copte et des noms propres. Cet ouvrage interessera les coptologues, les specialistes du gnosticisme et les historiens de la philosophie.
