Numeroase descoperiri arheologice, aparent misterioase, i multe indicii din scrierile strvechi ale omenirii l-au determinat pe Erich von Dniken s porneasc n cutarea unor explicaii pentru misterele neelucidate ale trecutului. Concluziile uimitoare la care ajunge autorul ne-ar putea convinge s ne revizuim imaginea despre istoria timpurie a Pmntului. Ele deschid deopotriv perspective noi asupra progresului tehnicii de azi i de mine.“ Cu aceste cuvinte era anunat, n 1968, apariia crii de fa, care a declanat, prin concluziile sale surprinztoare, ce nu se limitau la arheologie, un val de indignare n rndurile oamenilor de tiin, dar, pe de alt parte, i un viu entuziasm n rndul publicului larg.Erich von Dniken a susinut c Pmntul a fost vizitat n timpuri strvechi de ctre fiine inteligente extraterestre, i c acestea au creat de fapt homo sapiens. Chiar dac i-a argumentat teza prin cercetri ntreprinse cu rigurozitate n lumea ntreag, ea a ramas destul de controversat. Totui, succesul enorm al crii sale a demonstrat c subiectul abordat este unul de mare interes. n decurs de doi ani, cartea a atins numai n Germania un tiraj de peste cinci sute de mii de exemplare.Cercetrile i descoperirile lui Erich von Dniken nasc i astzi discuii aprinse. Numrul adepilor si crete de la an la an. Din acest motiv, am considerat oportun reeditarea n limba romn, ntr-o traducere nou i necenzurat, a crii sale de debut, care nu a pierdut nimic din caracterul exploziv, incitant i senzaional, att n privina limbajului, ct i a coninutului. n prefaa nou a crii, Erich von Dniken analizeaz reaciile pro i contra strnite de tezele sale, pe care le reexamineaz n contextul cunotinelor recent dobndite.

n cei peste o sut de ani care s au scurs de la publicarea lui, Gora a fost interpretat n multe feluri i din diferite puncte de vedere, n special n India i n mediile culturale anglofone. S-a spus adesea c, prin acest roman, Tagore a iniiat dezbaterea despre identitatea cultural a Indiei i despre locul religiei i al castei n cadrul ei. Dar problemele legate de religie i cast implic altele privitoare la gen i clas.Romanul ridic multe alte chestiuni la fel de importante, precum statutul femeii, autoguvernarea, reconstrucia rural, educaia naional etc.Dat fiind arta romanesc a lui Tagore – neinovatoare n form sau tehnic narativ, trgndu-i fora nu din aciune, ci din analiz psihologic i dezbatere de idei –, o perspectiv cultural asupra lui Gora este, ndeosebi ntr-o prefa, mai interesant dect una strict literar. Spre deosebire de celelalte romane ale sale, aici personajul central nu este unul feminin. Gora, biatul nou nscut al unui cuplu de irlandezi din Calcutta mori n timpul rscoalei sipahilor (1857), a fost adoptat n secret de o familie de brahmani liberali, fr ca acetia s dezvluie cuiva adevrata sa origine. Numele pe care i l-au dat (gora nseamn alb“ n bengali) este totui o marc identitar evident. Crescut i educat ca un indian din societatea bun, Gora s-a identificat – n ciuda nfirii sale europene – cu India, ajungnd ca dup terminarea studiilor universitare s adopte cea mai strict ortodoxie hindus i s militeze deschis mpotriva dominaiei britanice. Adevrul despre originea sa, ce i se dezvluie abia la finalul romanului, vine ca o surpriz doar pentru el nsui.Cititorul este prevenit chiar de la bun nceput, fapt care i pune aciunile i discursurile ntr o explicit perspectiv ironic. Motivul orfanului domin profilul celor mai importante personaje din roman. Nu numai Gora, dar i Binoy i Sucharita au mame sau tai surogat. Acetia ns se apropie mult mai mult de modelul printelui ideal dect mamele i taii biologici ai celorlalte personaje. Paresh Babu i Anandamayi se nscriu n galeria acelor nobile figuri ce nu pot fi uitate i nu e deloc o surpriz c, n cele din urm, Gora i recunoate ca noii si prini spirituali. Naterea este aadar tema n jurul creia se construiete drama eroului principal. i nu ntmpltor. n hinduismul ortodox, naterea determin att casta, ct i religia, mrci comunitare ce nu pot fi schimbate individual. Cineva se nate hindus i brahman – de pild –, nu poate s devin dect cel mult un bun hindus“ sau un bun brahman“, cum ar fi spus un reprezentant al ortodoxiei de la noi.

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.

The Jewish State
The Jewish State
Theodor Herzl
¥9.48
"Der Judenstaat" (German, literally "The Jew State", commonly translated as "The Jewish State") is a pamphlet written by Theodor Herzl and published in February 1896 in Leipzig and Vienna by M. Breitenstein's Verlags-Buchhandlung. It is subtitled with "Versuch einer modernen L?sung der Judenfrage", "Proposal of a modern solution for the Jewish question", and originally called "Address to the Rothschilds" referring to the Rothschild family banking dynasty.It is considered one of the most important texts of early Zionism. As expressed in this book, Herzl envisioned the founding of a future independent Jewish state during the 20th century. He argued that the best way to avoid antisemitism in Europe was to create this independent Jewish state. Herzl, who had lived as a secular, largely assimilated Jew, was fluent in neither Hebrew nor Yiddish. His lack of contact with Jewish culture and intellectual currents, and his limited contact with Jews less assimilated than he was probably the reason he abandoned fundamental Jewish principles and rekindled Zionism with this text. The book was used to encourage Jews from all across Europe to purchase land in Palestine. In Der Judenstaat, Herzl noted the possibility of a Jewish state in Argentina.Herzl popularized the term "Zionism", which was coined by Nathan Birnbaum. The nationalist movement culminated in the birth of the State of Israel in 1948, though Zionism continues to be connected with political support of the State of Israel.

Cymbeline
Cymbeline
William Shakespeare

Cymbeline is a play by William Shakespeare, based on an early Celtic British King. Although listed as a tragedy in the First Folio, modern critics often classify it as a romance. Like Othello, Measure for Measure, and The Winter's Tale, it deals with the themes of innocence and jealousy. While its date of composition is unknown, the play is known to have been produced as early as 1611.
His Last Bow: Sherlock Holmes
His Last Bow: Sherlock Holmes
Arthur Conan Doyle
¥8.82
His Last Bow is a collection of seven Sherlock Holmes stories (eight in American editions) by Arthur Conan Doyle, as well as the title of one of the stories in that collection. Originally published in 1917, it contains the various Holmes stories published between 1908 and 1913, as well as the one-off title story from 1917. The collection was originally called Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes and did not contain the actual story His Last Bow, which appeared later, after the full-length The Valley of Fear was published. However later editions added it and changed the title. Some recent complete editions have restored the earlier title. When the Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes were published in the USA for the first time, the publishers believed "The Adventure of the Cardboard Box" was too scandalous for the American public, since it dealt with the theme of adultery. As a result, this story was not published in the USA until many years later, when it was added to His Last Bow. Even today, most American editions of the canon include it with His Last Bow, while most British editions keep the story in its original place in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.

The Women's Festival
Aristophanes

Today the women at the festival are going to kill me for insulting them!' This bold statement by Euripides is the absurd premise upon which the whole play depends. The women are incensed by his plays' portrayal of the female sex as mad, murderous, and sexually depraved, and they are using the festival of the Thesmophoria (an annual fertility celebration dedicated to Demeter) as an opportunity to debate a suitable choice of revenge.
