Kindness: The Little Thing that Matters Most
¥73.58
‘Urgently needed – rugs.’ That was the message that started everything. I was searching online for second-hand furniture, when I came across the plea for help. It was a Wanted ad placed by a woman who sounded desperate. I emailed her and was heartbroken by what I learned. She needed the rugs to cover her broken floor so her young children wouldn’t cut their feet. She was a single mum who had fled a horrifying domestic situation and was starting all over again with nothing. I wanted to help her, and I was sure that if others knew about her, they would want to help, too. So I spread the word among my friends and family, and household goods soon started pouring in.I delivered everything to her one afternoon – piles of bedding, furniture, kitchenware, clothing, toys and some gift vouchers. I will never forget the look on her face when she opened the door. She was in complete shock that people she didn’t even know would be willing to help her. This was a woman very much in need of kindness, and strangers helped her feel loved when she needed it the most.

But at fifteen she ran away from home and is now the world’s leading authority on Having Fun, which is definitely an actual job, she has ‘Fungineer’ printed on her business cards to prove it, though in retrospect she should have been more clear that this does not mean she specialises in mushrooms.

Paris, City of Light: 1919–1939 (Text Only)
¥154.12
In the early days of Cubism, when writers and painters led bohemian lives in Montmartre, a familiar figure in the studios and cafes was a young journalist named Roland Dorgelès. With high brow, long straight nose, lean face and steady blue eyes, smartly turned out, often in a long black coat with astrakhan collar, he was well liked for his cheerful manner, vein of poetry and adventurousness.Dorgelès came of petit bourgeois parents. The father, a travelling textile salesman, was often absent and did not get along with his wife, who transferred her affection to her only son without however becoming possessive. She gave him a Catholic upbringing and encouraged him to read good authors, his favourites being Molière and Courteline. After an unsuccessful spell at the Ecole des Arts décoratifs he decided on a literary career. He became a journalist of the Paris scene, had two short plays put on and indulged in light-hearted practical jokes: calling the fire brigade to extinguish a nonexistent fire in the flat of a rival in love and, on another occasion, to protest against the thick glass on certain paintings in the Louvre, installing himself in front of one such painting, producing razor, cream and brush, soaping his face and calmly shaving as though in front of a mirror.

Continuarea romanului bdquo Zilele aman?ilor ldquo;. bdquo Aman?ii Corinei Ozon, atacirct Zilele, cacirct ?i Nop?ile lor, sunt deja mai mult decacirct simple c?r?i, sunt un fenomen: peste tot se vorbe?te despre ei, ?i sim?i imediat c? trebuie s?-i cuno?ti ?i tu. ?i, dac? o faci, sigur nu regre?i dup?: Corina te conduce cu un stil inconfundabil icircn lumea lui Mircea ?i Cati, unde vei racircde, vei a?tepta cu sufletul la gur? urm?toarea aventur?, vei pica pe gacircnduri, vei reflecta la propria ta poveste de dragoste. Cu o scriitur? bine ?lefuit?, Corina Ozon din Nop?ile aman?ilor apas? ?i mai tare pedala fa?? de romanul ei de debut. Se cite?te repede, e savuroas?, memorabil? ?i, inevitabil, te face s? vrei mai mult! (Cristina Nemerovschi) bdquo Scriitura Corinei Ozon reu?e?te un lucru cu adev?rat dificil. S? abordeze icircntr-o manier? lejer? un subiect aparent frivol ?i s? dea icirc;n acela?i timp impresia de seriozitate ?i profunzime. De fapt, textele Corinei nu sunt frivole, dar relev?, icirc;n maniera unui Milan Kundera, de exemplu, superficialitatea ca structur? a lumii ?i, icircn special, a lumii oamenilor moderni, care iubesc pe fug?, colorat, zgomotos ?i la limita inconsisten?ei. Literatura aceasta se cite?te cu pl?cere ?i cu anxietate pentru c? ne reg?sim total icircn ea, pentru c? placircngem ?i racircdem icircn ea, pentru c? ne privim ca icircntr-o oglind?. Iar racircsul, iar??i icircn cheia lui Kundera, survine eliberator din contemplarea zadarnicelor ?i ve?nicelor chinuri ale dragostei, puse iar ?i iar icircn acelea?i laquoridicole iubiri raquo.(Doru C?st?ian)
