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.

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.
