Atunci am aflat ce ?nseamn? s? crezi. Lumea ta se pr?bu?e?te zi dup? zi, ?n jurul t?u, dar sim?i ?n str?fundurile fiin?ei tale c? ?ntr-o zi va fi bine ?i nu renun?i. Logic, ra?ional, totul ??i spune c? e?ti nebun. ?i tu te ?nc?p???nezi ?i mergi mai departe. E o sc?nteie acolo, ?n suflet, o voce timid?, care ??i ?opte?te s? nu te la?i b?tut, c? totu-i cu un rost. Totul are sens. Pentru c? am vrut s? dau un sens la tot ceea ce se ?nt?mpl?. Am ales s? cred. Pentru c?, din momentul ?n care te-am v?zut, am ?tiut c? nu mai am ce s? a?tept, ?n afar? de tine. ?Maria Magdalena ??i vorbe?te despre pierdere, alegeri, ?mp?care cu sine, descoperiri ?i mai ales despre iubirea c??tigat?. Pentru c? iubirea, odat? ce exist?, nu se ?nstr?ineaz? niciodat?. Nici m?car atunci c?nd se ?ndep?rteaz?, se acoper? ?i pare pierdut? definitiv. Ea exist? mai departe, pentru c? iubirea ne schimb?. Toate iubirile care ne trec prin via?? r?m?n ?n noi ?i cresc mai departe acolo. Ioana Duda ?tie c? nu-i po?i iubi pe ceilal?i dac? nu te iube?ti pe tine. C? nu-i po?i ierta pe al?ii p?n? nu te ier?i pe tine ?i c? nu te po?i l?sa iertat de al?ii p?n? nu te-ai iertat tu, cu adev?rat, p?n? la ultima cut? a sufletului. ?tie c? iubirea nu ?nseamn? mereu s?-l ai pe cel?lalt al?turi. Iubirea e complet? ?i dac? e numai o stare, o plaj?, un c?ntec, un copil. Ioana ?tie.” (Cristina Nemerovschi) Cu aceea?i sinceritate dureroas? cu care ne-a obi?nuit din c?r?ile ei anterioare, Ioana Duda scrie ?n Maria Magdalena despre o iubire matur?, a?adar complicat?, ?i despre pierderea ei, ?n aparen??. Dar, c?nd vine vorba despre iubire, oare chiar o putem asocia cu maturitatea? Sau, cumva, fiecare descoperire a iubirii este un drum de-a lungul c?ruia ??i dai la o parte tot mai multe straturi ale fiin?ei ?i, ?n final, ajungi s? te ?n?elegi cu al?i ochi? P?n? la urm?, iubirea ??i arat? o lume cu totul nou?, pe care o descoperi asemeni unui copil. Personajul principal al romanului ?n?elege multe despre iubire, de-a lungul c?r?ii, dar mai ales se ?n?elege pe sine. Se redescoper? ?i se repozi?ioneaz? ?n centrul propriului univers. Cartea Ioanei Duda ne vorbe?te despre dragostea care este mai presus de fiin?ele pe care le leag?, dragostea ca mod de autocunoa?tere. (Alexandru Voicescu)

Egy korszak, egy id?szak végéhez értünk. Az, kinek van szeme, és van füle, jól látja és hallja, hogy valami elkezd?d?tt, valami már visszafordíthatatlanul egy esemény felé vezeti az emberiséget. Az, hogy ilyen nagy lélekszámban vagyunk most itt, nem véletlen. Meg szeretnénk tapasztalni a változást. De ehhez pusztán a jelenlétünk nem elég! Ez a k?nyv egy olyan fiatal lányról szól, aki a nagy világégést túlélte, és egyedül járja útját, mígnem találkozások sora veszi kezdetét olyan emberekkel, lényekkel, kik mind-mind segítik ?t a Megértés útján. Mesterek ?k, kik eligazítják a félelem, az irigység, a hatalomvágy, a szerelem, a szeretet, és még oly sok érzelem megértésében, valamint a háborút megel?z? id?szak tébolyának m?k?désében, mely teljesen agymosottá tette az emberiség t?bbségét! Abban az illúzióvilágban, melynek már utolsó napjait élte, végre ezen Mesterek segítségével megérhetett a továbblépésre és a felemelkedésre! Nagyon nagy szeretettel ajánlom k?nyvemet mindazoknak, kik érzik, hogy egy új helyzet elé értünk!

Ez a k?tet a Képzelt riport egy amerikai pop-fesztiválról cím? m? részletes és illusztrált feltárása. Abba a bohém és szertelen világba kalauzolja el az olvasót, amelyet Déry Tibor nem gy?z?tt szimbólumokkal betakarni. De nem azért, hogy elfedje, hanem hogy fel?lt?ztesse és megmutassa. A kül?nb?z? fejezetek a karakterek mélyelemzése és a valóság fikcióval való ?sszevetése mellett azt is taglalják, hogy mely társadalmi rendszerek alkotják azt az óriási káoszérzést, amit a fesztivál keretez. A rajzok kiválóan hangsúlyozzák a metaforákat és a pszichedeliát. A szerz? átfogóan ismerteti a remekm? színpadi változatát, régi és mai vonatkozásait, fogadtatását. ?gy válik ez a k?nyv az irodalom, a t?rténelem, a zene és a színház csodálatos elegyévé.

Considerat de autoare cel mai plin de ?via?? adev?rat?“, de ?carne ?i s?nge“, romanul Anii nu poate fi analizat totu?i ?n afara oric?ror referiri la alte c?r?i de fic?iune ale Virginiei Woolf.

Moby-Dick is a novel by Herman Melville, in which an eerily compelling madman is pursuing an unholy war against a creature as vast and dangerous and unknowable as the sea itself. But more than just a novel of adventure, more than an encyclopedia of whaling lore and legend, Moby-Dick is a haunting, mesmerizing, and important social commentary populated with several of the most unforgettable and enduring characters in literature. Written with wonderfully redemptive humor, Moby-Dick is a profound and timeless inquiry into character, faith, and the nature of perception.

My human handlers tell me that I have no parents, no name, and no purpose other than to train for battle and one day become a vessel for the reincarnation of Chimera, the greatest dragon shifter of all. Sadly, Chimera’s rebirth will mean my own death. But my handlers say this sacrifice is a noble fate that will rebuild the dragon shifter world.I shall die on my seventeenth birthday. That’s five days from now.Then I hear music thumping across the desert. I take my mortal form, follow the sound, and find humans dancing in what they call a rave. There is a stage and a rock band. One thing quickly becomes clear: Unlike the audience, the musicians are dragon shifters, just like me. And one of them, the guitar player Rhodes, makes my knees turn watery. The lead singer, Kaps, has something strangely familiar about her.It all adds up to one conclusion: My handlers lied to me. I’m not the last of my kind. Memories reappear. I had parents once. Portia and Tempest. I even had a name. Zinnia. Perhaps I have a reason to live as well. I step past the dancing humans to confront the players.I will find out the full truth, no matter what.?"Sweet mother of mercy ANGELBOUND is beyond fabulous!"?-?For Your Literary Pleasure BlogAngelbound Offspring1.
