With Michel Foucault, Reaktion Books introduces an exciting new series that brings the work of major intellectual figures to general readers, illuminating their groundbreaking ideas through concise biographies and cogent readings.
How do you distinguish between strong desires and life purpose? These are important questions. What is a life without true purpose? How can we find satisfaction if we lack the strength and knowledge to bring that purpose to fruition? These meditations travel deep into the chakras, the psychic centres of your being. They inspire you to journey far beyond the rational desires of the mind. Travel into your inner being so that you recognize and feel your true needs, and discover how they are connected to your life purpose.

In this classic short story, Chekhov takes a snapshot of the Russian life, illuminating the harsh complexities and yet subtle simplicities that interact seamlessly together. The cold and gloom of the Russian environment cannot compare to the relationship that Pavel Andreitch, a rich aristocratic, has with his wife, who is no longer in love, or even tolerant of her husband, although helplessly reliant on his financial support.
