All Things Considered
￥8.09
Classic collection of essays. According to Wikipedia: "Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 - 1936) was an influential English writer of the early 20th century. His prolific and diverse output included journalism, philosophy, poetry, biography, Christian apologetics, fantasy and detective fiction. Chesterton has been called the "prince of paradox." He wrote in an off-hand, whimsical prose studded with startling formulations. For example: "Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it."[2] He is one of the few Christian thinkers who are equally admired and quoted by both liberal and conservative Christians, and indeed by many non-Christians. Chesterton's own theological and political views were far too nuanced to fit comfortably under the "liberal" or "conservative" banner."

Mamele, care fac at?t de multe lucruri, spun adesea despre ele c? stau ?n cas? ?i nu fac nimic. Se simt singure, invizibile ?i ne?nsemnate. ?i asta de?i fiecare mam? ??i preg?te?te copilul pentru societatea ?n care tr?im cu to?ii. ?ntreaga civiliza?ie depinde de munca mamelor. ?i nu sunt vorbe prea mari. Via?a social? ar fi haotic? f?r? contribu?ia at?t de ?nsemnat? a mamelor. Dac? ele se simt lipsite de importan??, atunci cu siguran?? valoarea muncii lor nu este apreciat? cum se cuvine. Cartea Ce fac mamele este scris? cu scopul de a ilustra nu doar motivele pentru care meseria de mam? merit? toat? admira?ia noastr?, ci ?i influen?a pe care noi to?i o avem ?n acest sens. Cu to?ii suntem conecta?i la universul acesta al mamelor.Atunci c?nd o femeie ?ncepe s? le spun? celor din jur c? este ?ns?rcinat?, se simte uneori de parc? ar fi p??it pe un teren minat. Pentru fiecare ?ntrebare posibil? legat? de ea ?i de copilul ei, exist? cel pu?in dou? ?coli opuse de g?ndire. Fiecare ?coal? de g?ndire ??i consolideaz? principiile prin intermediul unui atac la adresa ?colii ?inamice“, cu previziuni ?nfrico??toare privitoare la ceea ce se va ?nt?mpla dac? mama va c?dea prad? influen?ei acesteia. Au ap?rut o mul?ime de c?r?i care le ?ndeamn? pe mame s? urmeze regulile sau instruc?iunile personale ale autorilor, deoarece acestea, chipurile, le-ar u?ura munca. Dar c?t de util este un set de reguli? Tr?im ?ntr-o societate tolerant?, iar dreptul de a alege este o consecin?? pre?ioas? a acestui fapt. Totu?i, mamele se simt adesea etichetate ?n func?ie de alegerile pe care le fac ?i respinse de femeile care au luat decizii diferite. Autoarea ?ncearc? ?ns? s? ne spun? c?, ?n spatele alegerilor noastre individuale, exist? teme fundamentale, comune mai tuturor mamelor. Le ?mp?rt??im oriunde am locui ?i indiferent de epoc?. Rolul de mam? se concentreaz? asupra dragostei pe care o ofer? copilului s?u. Cartea ??i propune s? ofere pe de o parte ?ncuraj?rile de care au at?ta nevoie mamele, pe de alta, un reper ferm pentru oricine ?ncearc? s? le ?n?eleag?.

Acum, von D?niken exploreaz? misterele Greciei Antice!Cercet?rile exhaustive ale celebrului autor al unor bestselleruri precum Amintiri despre viitor ?i Amurgul zeilor sugereaz? c? ?zeii“ din mitologia greac? au fost de fapt extratere?tri care au sosit pe P?m?nt cu mii de ani ?n urm?. Dovezile arheologice ?i scrierile din antichitate, apar?in?nd unor autori precum Aristotel sau Platon, arat? c? ace?ti zei s-au ?ncruci?at cu oamenii, au efectuat experimente genetice ?i au creat f?pturi ?mitice“, cum ar fi centaurii ?i ciclopii. Pentru to?i cei interesa?i de Grecia, de ?nt?lnirile cu extratere?trii sau de istoria nerostit? a civiliza?iei, Odiseea zeilor constituie o interpretare fascinant? ?i revolu?ionar? a siturilor ?i legendelor Greciei antice.Istoria contactelor extraterestre din Grecia Antic?De peste patru decenii, Erich von D?niken scrie ?i vorbe?te sus?in?ndu-?i ideea conform c?reia oamenii ?i extratere?trii ?i-au ?ncruci?at drumurile ?n trecutul ?ndep?rtat.Von D?niken st?rne?te o nou? controvers? cu o supozi?ie care ne pune pe jar imagina?ia: ?i dac? miturile Greciei antice sunt de fapt tentative de a descrie evenimente reale? Dac? popoarele din antichitate au fost vizitate nu de zei ?i zei?e imaginare, ci de fiin?e extraterestre, sosite pe planeta noastr? cu mii de ani ?n urm?? Dup? ce a cercetat mitologia antic? ?i descoperirile arheologice curente, autorul a ajuns la c?teva ipoteze explozive. Astfel, el sus?ine c? explica?ia cea mai bun? pentru creaturi neobi?nuite precum centaurii ?i ciclopii, precum ?i pentru pove?tile despre continentul disp?rut al Atlantidei ?i r?zboaiele dintre zeit??i, ar putea fi expresia eforturilor depuse de arti?tii vremii pentru a consemna fenomene nemaiv?zute p?n? atunci.Concluziile lui von D?niken sunt uluitoare, dar sunt argumentate cu at?ta vigoare ?i claritate ?nc?t cititorul va fi stimulat ?i provocat s? considere implica?iile descoperirilor sale revolu?ionare pentru trecutul cosmic al omenirii.Dovezile explorate ?n cartea de fa?? sugereaz? c?:Situl oracular de la Delphi era de fapt o sta?ie de alimentare a aeronavelor;?L?na de aur“ pe care o c?uta Iason era de fapt o component? esen?ial? a unei nave aeriene;Troia ?i Atlantida au fost una ?i aceea?i cetate, distrus? ?n urma unui r?zboi nimicitor ?ntre extratere?tri ?i descenden?ii acestora;Ceea ce noi consider?m acum c? ar fi ?mitologie greac?“ este de fapt istorie;Legenda Atlantidei are o explica?ie nou? ?i surprinz?toare.

Through the Fray, A Tale of the Luddite Riots
￥8.09
Historical novel set at the beginning of the 19th century, during violent worker protests against the mechanization of the Industrial Revolution. The Preface begins: "The beginning of the present century, glorious as it was for British arms abroad, was a dark time to those who lived by their daily labor at home. The heavy taxation entailed by the war, the injury to trade, and the enormous prices of food, all pressed heavily upon the working classes. The invention of improved machinery, vast as has been the increase of trade which it has brought about, at first pressed heavily upon the hand workers, who assigned all their distress to the new inventions. Hence a movement arose, which did much damage and for a time threatened to be extremely formidable."

Henty, was a prolific English novelist, special correspondent, and Imperialist born in Trumpington, Cambridgeshire, England.

Robert Louis Stevenson
￥8.09
Biography of the author of Treasure Island, from the "Famous Scots Series". According to Wikipedia: "Robert Louis (Balfour) Stevenson ( 1850 - 1894), was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, and a leading representative of Neo-romanticism in English literature. He was the man who "seemed to pick the right word up on the point of his pen, like a man playing spillikins", as G. K. Chesterton put it. He was also greatly admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, Vladimir Nabokov, and J. M. Barrie. Most modernist writers dismissed him, however, because he was popular and did not write within their definition of modernism. It is only recently that critics have begun to look beyond Stevenson's popularity and allow him a place in the canon."
