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.

Stanley Spencer (Text Only)
Stanley Spencer (Text Only)
Ken Pople
¥115.56
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.

The Complete Quin and Satterthwaite
The Complete Quin and Satterthwaite
Agatha Christie
¥115.56
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

International bestselling authors of YOU: The Owner's Manual and YOU: On a Diet give you all the tools and know-how to stay young and defy the ageing process. Drawing lively parallels between your body and aspects of city life, Drs Roizen and Oz show you how to balance your ‘biological budget’ to ensure your life is long and strong. Million-copy-bestselling authors, Michael F. Roizen, M.D. and Mehmet C. Oz, M.D., explain the mysteries of ageing and how you can dramatically slow the process to live a longer, more vibrant life. Written with their irrepressible quirky humour and granite-solid research, YOU: Staying Young is set to become the definitive manual to remaining young, fit and healthy. If your body is a city, the authors explain, it is up to you as mayor, resident and street cleaner to ensure it remains a vibrant city – after all, who wants to live in a run-down, one-horse town? We all have different genes that influence us in same the way as cities are affected by different geographies. However, it is the way in which a city is run and the residents treat it that have the most overwhelming influence. Posing as local inspectors, Roizen and Oz club together to tackle your city's education system (stem cells), power plants (mitochondria), electrical grids (brains), transportation routes (blood vessels), landfills (fat), and parks (skin). They then give you the tools to clean up your act and turn your city back into the cutting-edge, party destination everybody will want to see. Look after your body and it will look after YOU.
