Aceast lucrare este o minunat oper de art. Lucrul cel mai puin interesant l constituie ceea ce se spune despre relaiile dintre Nehliudov i Katiua, iar lucrul cel mai interesant l reprezint prinii, generalii, mtuile, ranii, deinuii, temnicerii. Scena de la generalul comandant al fortreei Sf. Petru i Pavel, cel care se ocupa cu spiritismul, am citit-o copleit de emoie – att e de izbutit! Dar madame Korceaghina imobilizat n fotoliu, dar mujicul, brbatului Feodosiei! Acest mujic i iubete nevasta i spune despre ea c-i muiere aprig“. Aprig e i pana lui Tolstoi. Lucrarea ns nu are un final, cci ncheierea ei nu poate fi numit final. S scrii, s scrii, iar apoi s iei i s pui totul n seama unui text din evanghelie – e din cale afar de teologic.“ (Anton P. Cehov)Am nceput s m gndesc ce bine ar fi s scriu un roman de longue haleine, n lumina concepiilor mele de astzi. M-am gndit c a putea s ntrunesc n el toate planurile mele, de a cror nendeplinire mi pare ru.“ Sunt cu totul absorbit de nvierea. Am impresia c n-o s ias prost.“ Sub picioare pmntul tare, ngheat, mprejur copacii uriai, deasupra capului cerul mohort, mi simt corpul, simt durerea de cap, sunt preocupat de gndurile despre nvierea i, n acelai timp, tiu, simt cu ntreaga fiin, c pmntul tare i ngheat, i copacii, i cerul, i trupul meu, i gndurile mele, sunt toate doar produsele celor cinci simuri ale mele, nchipuirea mea – o lume construit de mine, pentru c partea mea de lume e aa cum este.“

De mii de ani, min?ile luminate ale omenirii, ?mp?r?ite ?n dou? tabere, s-au str?duit s?-?i generalizeze convingerile conform c?rora universul este alc?tuit numai din materie, ?n timp ce cei din partida advers? sus?ineau ?i comparau lumea material? cu o fiin?? omeneasc? care pe l?nga creier (energie) are obligatoriu ?i inima (sim?ire). Acest organ viu pulseaz? de decenii ziua ?i noaptea, f?r? o clipa de odihn?, c?r?nd ?valuri“ de s?nge ?n circuitul sangvin, adun? cu sim?irea ei sentimente care b?ntuie fiin?a uman? ?n trecerea ei de la na?tere ?i p?n? la moarte. Dac? puseurile de sentimente, revolt?, admira?ie, bucurie, triste?e, dezn?dejde, ur?, r?zbunare, respect, mil?, invidie, se sting, fiind trec?toare, iubirea va g?si ?n inim? culcu? p?n? la ultima suflare.Povestea adev?rat? a marinarului Valerian din romanul ?Indianul Alb“ este ca un jur?m?nt f?cut sentimentului de iubire.

Pentru Sanda S?ntimbreanu a venit vremea rememor?rii, vremea c?nd amintirile caut? o alt? exprimare, respira?ia eternit??ii. A dorit s? semneze pactul cu literatura, ?i i-a reu?it, mai ales – prin repetarea unor elemente de via??, prin asem?narea caracterelor unor personaje, printr-o anume continuitate ?ntre unele povestiri, prin obsesia unor teme – cel autobiografic. Autoarea vrea prin aceste povestiri de via?? s? se ?mpace cu trecutul s?u, unul pe care nu l-a acceptat, nu l-a ?n?eles poate destul ?n momentul tr?irii. (Nicoleta Dabija)

Propeller Aerodynamics
Propeller Aerodynamics
Hitchens, Frank
¥147.05
Classical aerodynamics is a compulsory study subject for pilots at all levels of experience. Propeller Aerodynamics is a subset of this fascinating subject. Propellers have their unique aerodynamic terminology, forces and handling requirements, knowledge of which all pilots must be aware of to safely handle the aircraft they are flying. Incorrect propeller handling can cause damage to the aircraft and reduce performance efficiency. Most aerodynamic text books only give a brief view of propeller aerodynamics; however this book Propeller Aerodynamics delves more deeply into this subject. The book covers the history and operation of aircraft propellers, prop pitch, thrust, efficiency, aircraft stability, prop forces, constant-speed units and more. This is all essential reading for the pilot progressing to more advanced high-performance aircraft.

Fareham Revisited
Fareham Revisited
Stephenson, Michael
¥98.00
Fareham Revisited started out as a poem, which Michael Stephenson was inspired to write when he was reflecting on how much his home town had changed since the 1950s and 1960s. The poem and its sentiments struck a chord with so many people that he decided to write a book about Fareham that would evoke more of these memories. The book was privately published in 2004. This new revised and expanded edition will delight anyone who remembers the town in its heyday - and will also intrigue newcomers. Part-memoir and part-history, Fareham Revisited perfectly captures the allure of the shops and cafes along the 'Golden Mile', the alleyways or 'drokes', the old cottages, the market with its livestock, the coal barges at the Quay and the well-known characters, including dairy boss Tom Parker who drove around Fareham in a four-horse-power carriage, though his milkmen still used the horse-and-cart. For bus and railway enthusiasts this, too, is the perfect book, as the author casts an expert eye on the bus companies that plied their trade in Fareham, with their distinctive livery, and remembers the last days of steam trains, of which he had a privileged view, as the house in which his family lived was next to the railway line.
