In this rich interdisciplinary study, Hildegard Hoeller argues that nineteenth-century American culture was driven by and deeply occupied with the tension between gift and market exchange. Rooting her analysis in the period's fiction, she shows how American novelists from Hannah Foster to Frank Norris grappled with the role of the gift based on trust, social bonds, and faith in an increasingly capitalist culture based on self-interest, market transactions, and economic reason. Placing the notion of sacrifice at the center of her discussion, Hoeller taps into the poignant discourse of modes of exchange, revealing central tensions of American fiction and culture.

Our book "Experiences with Hildegard" is finished! It was created through the joint work of our family and 51 people who contributed their experiences and insights. A book alone can perhaps never do justice to a person. But a book written with the spiritual guidance of Master Dean Li can convey a special energy. Then this spirit can waft between the letters, lines and their contents; a clarity that we, just like Hildegard, seek. This spirit is at the center. Thank you very much, Master Li. Hildegard was once asked about her work in an interview with the Montessori Association: "You are very interested in Chinese medicine. You have already taken part in numerous training and further education courses. What makes it so interesting for you? Were you looking for something there that you felt was missing from Montessori? Or are there connections that we don't know about? Hildegard: I can only give a provisional answer to this question. I have only been studying Original Chinese Medicine for 10 years. Yes, there are connections that we still know little about. Which lead further into areas that Montessori ... addresses in the quote: how being nobody serves as a prerequisite for recognizing the origin of things. Which leads on to the questions whose answers we must seek and find within ourselves: How do you love the universe? How do you recognize the origin of things? How do you become nobody? This is where the trail of ancient wisdom runs, which each individual must decide to follow." Hildegard chose this path and found many answers. This is what this book is about. "What does it mean for us to save this winter? Hildegard shows us the path we should continue on. This time of change is very good for this, everyone can save something good. Hildegard is so clear, she shows us how we can move forward." Master Dean Li

An introduction to the life and work of Hildegard. • Reveals the life and teachings of one of the greatest female artists and intellectuals of the Western Mystical Tradition. • Contains 24 full-color illustrations by Hildegard of Bingen. • Includes commentary by Matthew Fox, author of Original Blessing (250,000 sold). Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) was an extraordinary woman living in the Rhineland valley during most of the twelfth century. Besides being the abbess of a large and influential Benedictine abbey, she was a prominent preacher, healer, scientist, and artist. She also was a composer and theologian, writing nine books on theology, medicine, science, and physiology, as well as 70 poems and an opera. At the age of 42, she began to have visions; these were captured as 36 illuminations--24 of which are recorded in this book along with her commentaries on them. She also wrote a text describing these visions entitled Scivias (Know the Ways), now published as Hildegard of Bingen's Mystical Visions. Author Matthew Fox has stated, "If Hildegard had been a man, she would be well known as one of the greatest artists and intellectuals the world has ever seen." It is a credit to the power of the women's movement and our times that this towering genius of Western thought is being rediscovered in her full grandeur and autonomy. Virtually unknown for more than 800 years in Western history, Hildegard was featured as one of the women in Judy Chicago's Dinner Party in the early 1980s and published for the first time in English by Bear & Company in 1982. In addition to her mystical teachings, Hildegard's music has been performed and recorded for a new and growing audience.
