Végh Sándor életútja tbb mint teljes volt. Miután letette a vonót egy végtelenül gazdag hegeds pálya után, ahol univerzális egyéniségét a legnagyobb mértékben és a legsokoldalúbban tudta kifejezni, a Camerata Academica élén tapasztalatai sszegzése mellett olyan megújulásnak voltunk a tanúi, amely párját ritkítja.” - Várjon Dénes. Száz esztendeje született a 20. század egyik legkiemelkedbb, világszerte ismert és elismert magyar eladómvésze, Végh Sándor. A ktet a centenárium alkalmából állít emléket a muzsikusnak, aki egy személyben volt hegedmvész, kvartettprimárius, karmester és pedagógus. Lwenberg Dániel végigkíséri a trténelmi okokból viharos, mvészi szempontból roppant változatos és termékeny életutat. A ktet ismerteti a mvész életrajzát, de a legnagyobb súlyt szakmai tevékenységére és zenei rkségére helyezi.

In this deeply moving book of reflection and recollection, Frederick Buechner once again draws us into his deeply textured life and experience to illuminate our own understanding of home as both our place of origin and our ultimate destination. For Frederick Buechner, the meaning of home is twofold: the home we remember and the home we dream. As a word, it not only recalls the place that we grew up in and that had much to do with the people we eventually became, but also points ahead to the home that, in faith, we believe awaits us at life's end. Writing at the approach of his seventieth birthday, he describes, both in prose and in a group of poems, the one particular house that was most precious to him as a child, the books he read there, and the people he loved there. He speaks also of the lifelong search we are all engaged in to make a new home for ourselves and for our families, which is at the same time a search to find something like the wholeness and comfort of home with ourselves. As he turns his attention to our dreams of the heavenly home still to come, he sees it as both hallowing and fulfilling the charity and the peach of our original home. Writing with warmth, wisdom, and compelling eloquence, Frederick Buechner once again enables us to see more deeply into the secret places of our hearts. The Longing for Home will help to bring clarity and guidance to anyone who searches for meaning in a world that all too often seems meaningless.

Everyone knows the New Testament begins with the Gospel of Matthew, but how many know Matthew was actually one of the later books to be written(It wasn't even the first Gospel!) But Evolution of the Word is not your typical New Testament.Marcus J. Borg, esteemed Bible scholar and bestselling author, shakes up the order of the New Testament as we know it by putting the books in a completely new order the order in which they were written. By doing so, Evolution of the Word allows us to read these documents in their historical context. For the first time, see how the core ideas of Christianity took shape and developed over time.Borg surveys what we know of the Jewish community of Jesus followers who passed on their stories orally. Into this context emerges the apostle Paul, whose seven authentic letters become the first collected writings that would later become the New Testament. Borg offers helpful introductions for each book so that as we read through these biblical documents, spanning over a century in time, we see afresh what concerns and pressures shaped this movement as it evolved into a new religion.In this groundbreaking format, Borg reveals how a radical and primitive apocalyptic Jewish faith slowly became more comfortable with the world, less Jewish, and more pre- occupied with maintaining power and control. Evolution of the Word promises to change forever how we think about this historic work.

Intrus n lumea umbrelor“ este un roman de sertar… care a fost scris ntre 1982-1986 i care a zcut ascuns n beci, ntr-o lad cu nisip pentru ptrunjei i morcovi de iarn, din 1986 pn n 1991. Apoi s-a mutat ntr-un sertar al biroului… pn astzi… Aciunea primului volum, CAPCANA“, se petrece n anii 1982 – 1983. Un scriitor aflat n slujba partidului comunist, un autor care semnase pactul cu diavolul“, pact n general negat, dar existent n realitate, care scria cri la comand“, dezerteaz. Un personaj deopotriv curajos i destul de la nct s fi semnat acest pact blestemat, vicios, drept i cinstit n acelai timp, afemeiat i pctos, ncpnat i realist, vntor i braconier, ducnd o via deanat, trit pe muchie de cuit, o via plin de femei i de infideliti conjugale, chefuri, prieteni la fel de vicioi, curajoi, nelinitii i realiti ca i el. Obosit de contiina care nu-l las sa adoarm, se refugiaz la ar, n nordul extrem al rii, ntre pduri i dealuri, pentru a scpa de oameni i de minciun. i descoper prieteni uitai i rude pe care n ultimii ani le ignorase. Dar, cutnd un adevr de care nc nu era contient, i descoper i dumanii. ntr-o goan parc nebun dup regsirea de sine, i rentlnete iubirile pierdute, femei care l-au iubit i pe care el le prsise cutnd mereu altceva, femei pe care le iubise i care l-au prsit, prieteni i dumani care nu l-au uitat, oameni trectori prin viaa sa. Cu incontiena omului brusc trezit la realitate, se las purtat de valul ntmplrii, aflnd adevruri mereu ntrezrite i bnuite, dar tinuite ntr-o lege a tcerii pe care n-o nelege nc. Tenace din fire i venic gata s rite totul pe o carte dintr-o nevoie aproape bolnvicioas de senzaii tari, ncepe s ntrebe, contient c fr ntrebri, nu exist nici rspunsuri.

O carte pentru copiii ?i adolescen?ii de la trei la nou?zeci ?i trei de ani. ?n fiecare sear?, ?nainte de a se duce ?n p?tu?ul lui, micu?ul Andrei se strecur? l?ng? mine ?n pat, “ca s?-i dau c?lduric?“, obicei mai vechi, dar la care nu voia sa renun?e nici acum, ?n toiul verii; a?a c? se strecura l?ng? mine, mi se cuib?rea la piept ?i, pref?c?ndu-se c? a?teapt? s?-?i primeasc? por?ia de c?lduric? – un fel de-a zice, c?ci de fapt el era cel care ma ?nc?lzea pe mine! – ?l auzeam ?optind deodat?, exact ?n clipa c?nd eu sim?eam c? ?ntrebarea nu poate sa mai ?nt?rzie: -Tat?, nu-mi poveste?ti ce s-a mai ?nt?mplat ?n p?durea pentru copii?

Mitul felin ?n literatura universal? este o lucrare ?n care s-a ?ncercat sintetizarea ?ntr-o form? accesibil?, ?ns? f?r? a fi superficial?, a unei cantit??i impresionante de material, material g?sit at?t ?n publicistica rom?n? c?t ?i cea str?in?. Subiectul lucr?rii a fost o alegere subiectiv?, fiind aproapiat de sufletul autoarei. Fiecare capitol ?n parte trateaz? un aspect al temei dezv?luite ?n titlu, respect?nd ?n acela?i timp o linie cronologic?, acest lucru facilit?nd ?n mod semnificativ ?n?elegerea ?i asimilarea informa?iei. ?ns? ?ntreaga lucrare are ca punct comun permanenta oscilare ?ntre planul real ?i cel fantastic, fabulos, ?ntre documente oficiale (precum cronicile) ?i m?rturiile oferite de supersti?iile populare. ?n primul capitol observam ?ara de origine a pisicii, Egiptul, ?i modul ?n care aceasta era tratat? ca o zeitate cu atribu?ii contradictorii (uneori benefice, alteori sinistre). De?i exportul lor a fost interzis de catre egipteni din motive religioase, acest lucru nu a ?mpiedicat r?sp?ndirea lor ?n toate culturile lumii. Sunt analizate de asemenea ?i diversele legende legate de na?terea pisicii la diferite popoare. Al doilea capitol trateaz? ?n detaliu o tr?s?tur? principal? a mitului felin ?i anume aspectul s?u, parc? implicit, feminin. Feminitatea, tandre?ea, instinctele materne, capriciile, viclenia, elegan?a, independen?a sunt doar c?teva dintre calit??ile comune ale femeii ?i pisicii, calit??i ?nf??i?ate de nenum?ra?i scriitori ?i arti?ti din toate timpurile ?i culturile.Capitolul al treilea ne ?nf??i?eaz? eternele conflicte dintre pisici ?i c?ini (lupt?ndu-se pentru ?ncrederea ?i afec?iunea omului), dintre pisici ?i ?oareci (o ?lupt?“ milenar? ?ntre Bine ?i R?u, unde binele, reprezentat de pisic?, nu ??i poate p?stra mereu puritatea). Aceste ?lupte“ au avut ca rezultat obsesia multor popoare pentru pisici. Dar cu toate acestea, pisicile au fost ?i vor r?m?ne fiin?e independente, niciodat? accept?nd un ?st?p?n“. Nu sunt pu?ini scriitori care ?n operele lor au ?nf??i?at pisicile asemenea unor oameni, capabile de absolut orice: a scrie, a citi, a c?nta, a juca teatru ba chiar ?i a vorbi. Ele au ?i unele dintre calit??ile omului (compasiune, abilitatea de a iubi) dar ?i c?teva dintre defectele acestuia (egoism, violen??, indiferen??). De asemenea li se atribuie puteri supranaturale cum ar fi clarviziunea.

Centurionii“ este radiografia unei lovituri de stat ntr-o insul din Marea Caraibelor. Este un roman alert i documentat, bazat pe informaii reale i existente, n care tehnica militar i cea de informaii este cea din realitatea care ne nconjoar, dar care nu ne este ntotdeauna direct accesibil tuturor, din raiuni practice.n aciunea crii vei descoperi o lume ascuns, trepidant, colorat. Este lumea plin de un farmec ciudat i pervers, lumea secret i fr mil a spionajului, a politicii duplicitare la cel mai nalt nivel, a manipulatorilor de bani i de informaii clasificate, a mercenarilor provenii din cele mai de top trupe pentru operaiuni speciale, a tehnicienilor informaticieni care descoper, urmresc i devalizeaz conturi bancare secrete, a traficanilor de armament i nu n ultima instan, a tiraniilor acceptate i protejate de politicile oscilante i interesate ale marilor puteri, alturi de lupttori pentru libertate, rebeli cu o cauz dreapt... i cu conturi bancare alimentate periodic n schimbul informaiilor i al aciunilor comandate i executate.Personajele sunt oameni normali n aceast lume ascuns privirilor indiscrete. Brbti antrenai, curajoi i gata oricnd s-i vnd priceperea i s-i ncerce norocul sub un nou steag strin, femei frumoase, inteligente i fr scrupule sau mil, politicieni corupi i interesai mai mult de buzunarul propriu dect de binele naiunii pe care o reprezint, manipulatori de informaii dispui oricnd s le schimbe contra unui un pre corect... O lume a profesionitilor, n care amatorii nu triesc destul pentru a-i numra banii. O lume n care supravieuiesc numai cei care sunt fcui s supravieuiasc.

Un studiu provocator despre un altfel de Macedonski. Informa?ii inedite, aspecte mai pu?in cunoscute din via?a acestui important poet, ce face o incitant? paralela cu Eminescu, sunt menite s?-l repun? ?n luminile rampei pe un creator situat de exege?i ?n umbra literatilor mari. Cartea se adreseaz? elevilor, studen?ilor, precum ?i publicului larg de cititori.

Stanley Spencer (1891 – 1959) has recently been recognised by a wide general public, as well as by art historians, as probably the greatest English painter of the twentieth century. His strange and thrilling settings of biblical and semi-biblical scenes, his grippingly realist portraits, his intense English landscapes, hang in pride of place in our national collections and fetch ever-escalating prices at auction. Although there have been many books about Spencer, Pople's biography is the first to give a thoroughly convincing and coherent account of the life and psyche of the man who produced these extraordinary pictures. Pople has not only had the co-operation of Spencer's daughters and remaining friends' he has had unrestricted access to the artist's letters, diaries and other writings, and has spent ten years unravelling the familiar but so often impenetrable mysteries we see on the canvas. His analysis demonstrates that there never was as artist for whom life and art were so much of a piece, and that without understanding Spencer's doings and circumstances, we have no hope of understanding his paintings.

A guided tour of Britain’s spiritual heritage Did Joseph of Arimathea really bring the holy grail to Glastonbury? Why do many conspicracy theorists believe architects such as Wren and Hawksmoore secretly built London according to principles from the Old Testament? What were the true reasons for the executions of martyrs such as Ridley, Wycliffe and Cranmer? All these intriguing questions, and many more, are answered in Ed Glinert’s unusual and fascinating new book. Glinert travels round Britain unearthing the most interesting spiritual characters and stories from over 2,000 years of British history. From martyrs to mystics, millenialists to malingerers, and ‘messiahs’ magicians magicians, Britain’s turbulent religious history has thrown up a wealth of intriguing characters. Ed Glinert tells their stories in readable, bitesized chunks.

A brand new omnibus featuring Agatha Christie’s favourite characters: Messrs Quin and Satterthwaite. Harley Quin is an enigma. He appears and disappears unexpectedly – and usually by strange tricks of the light caused by stained-glass windows or flickering firelight. His background, family and friends are all a mystery – his almost supernatural powers of detection are, however, very real. Mr Satterthwaite is altogether more normal – fundamentally a snob, he lives the carefree lifestyle of a bachelor whilst indulging his hobbies. Yet, beneath this facade is a deep vein of loneliness that compels him to observe everyone and everything. Together they are an unstoppable, crime-fighting tour de force – Sattherthwaite’s skills of observation are honed by Quin’s subtle questioning, bringing to light the most pertinent clues in any crime. With each acting as a catalyst for the other, the criminal fraternity had best beware… This volume brings all the Quin and Satterthwaite novels and short stories together for the first time, and showcases the pair’s talents in a way that clearly explains why Agatha Christie herself was so fond of her creations: ‘The Love Detectives’. Contains: The Mysterious Mr Quin Three-Act Tragedy Dead Man’s Mirror The Love Detectives The Harlequin Tea Set
