Medita??es
Marco Aurélio
¥79.35
Enquanto imperador, sou importante em Roma; enquanto homem, sou igual a qualquer um no mundo. Marco Aurélio Meditaes é a única obra de Marco Aurélio que chegou até nós. Composta por doze livros, em forma de máximas, apresenta reflexes marcadas pelo Estoicismo. Marco Aurélio considerava-se um cidado do mundo — ou melhor, do Universo. Para ele, a igualdade e a fraternidade entre os homens obrigavam a uma ateno constante aos atos sociais, a nunca censurar os deuses nem os seres humanos e a aceitar os acontecimentos como a expresso simples da lei do Universo. Esta obra é o livro de um homem de ao, que procura a serenidade, indispensável à eficácia, mas também de um homem para o qual os atos humanos apenas possuem um valor profundo e duradouro se se enquadrarem na perspetiva do Todo do Universo e da comunidade de todos. Muito mais do que uma compilao de pensamentos filosóficos, Meditaes é um manual de comportamento perfeitamente atual, que apela à reflexo sobre como podemos melhorar o nosso modo de vida e o nosso relacionamento com os outros.

"El título de este libro tiene el propósito de picar tu ego, si te ofende en lugar de hacerte reír, estás regalándome tu poder y si te reíste sabes que el título no explica nada sobre el contenido del libro. El contenido del libro es muy práctico y está enfocado en mejorar tu calidad de vida, en encontrar tu don y saber usarlo en el sistema capitalista. En realidad puedo ser soez y grosero, pero si una palabra te afecta, no sabes realmente de qué estás hecho. Las palabras no son malas, dependen de la intención que hay atrás.? Lo que puedo hacer es ayudarte a decidir quién eres, a qué vienes al mundo, que disfrutes y tengas creencias que te den una mejor calidad de vida. Es un libro que me tomó varios a?os escribir y a ti te tomará muy poco tiempo leer si lo que buscas es saber quién eres. En este libro hablo desde lo filosófico hasta lo más práctico. Descubrir tu don y cómo vivir bien en este sistema no tiene que ser tan difícil pero el primer paso es cuestionar tus creencias."

American Notes
American Notes
Rudyard Kipling
¥8.09
Dodo Collections brings you another classic from Rudyard Kipling, ‘American Notes.’ ? Kipling affects a wide-eyed innocence, and expresses astonishment at features of American life that differ from his own, not least the freedom (and attraction) of American women. However, he scorns the political machines that made a mockery of American democracy, and while exhibiting the racist attitudes that made him controversial in the 20th century concludes “It is not good to be a negro in the land of the free and the home of the brave.” ? Kipling's works of fiction include The Jungle Book (1894), Kim (1901), and many short stories, including "The Man Who Would Be King" (1888). His poems include "Mandalay" (1890), "Gunga Din" (1890), "The Gods of the Copybook Headings" (1919), "The White Man's Burden" (1899), and "If—" (1910). He is regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story; his children's books are classics of children's literature; and one critic described his work as exhibiting "a versatile and luminous narrative gift". ? Kipling was one of the most popular writers in England, in both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Henry James said: "Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius (as distinct from fine intelligence) that I have ever known." In 1907, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, making him the first English-language writer to receive the prize, and its youngest recipient to date Among other honours, he was sounded out for the British Poet Laureateship and on several occasions for a knighthood, all of which he declined.
The Golden Sayings of Epictetus
The Golden Sayings of Epictetus
Epictetus
¥8.09
Classic work of philosophy, in English translation. According to Wikipedia: "Epictetus (AD 55 – AD 135) was a Greek sage and Stoic philosopher. He was born a slave at Hierapolis, Phrygia (present day Pamukkale, Turkey), and lived in Rome until banishment when he went to Nicopolis in northwestern Greece where he lived the rest of his life. His teachings were noted down and published by his pupil Arrian in his Discourses. Philosophy, he taught, is a way of life and not just a theoretical discipline. To Epictetus, all external events are determined by fate, and are thus beyond our control, but we can accept whatever happens calmly and dispassionately. Individuals, however, are responsible for their own actions, which they can examine and control through rigorous self-discipline. Suffering arises from trying to control what is uncontrollable, or from neglecting what is within our power. As part of the universal city that is the universe, human beings have a duty to care for all fellow humans. The person who followed these precepts would achieve happiness and peace of mind."
