"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."

Приключения Юпа Розендааля
Георгий Турьянский
¥15.18
Повесть ?Приключения Юпа Розендааля? задумывалась как увлекательная детская сказка. Действие сказки?разворачивается в Германии, на реально существующем необитаемом острове ?Мышиной башни?, что в среднем течении Рейна. Цель книги — показать детям Добро и Зло, подвиги и трусость, бескорыстие и жадность. В ?Приключениях? автор пытался избежать двух бед многих современных книг: полного отсутствия нравственных ориентиров и, напротив, излишней назидательности. Сюжет книги по-настоящему увлекает, заставляет полностью окунуться в происходящее, а тем самым и задуматься над поступками героев, дать им свою оценку. Автору очень хотелось, чтобы его книга стала по-настоящему семейной. И, кажется, у него есть все основания рассчитывать на успех. Издательство Animedia Company желает вам приятного чтения.

On The Art of War
On The Art of War
Sun Tzu
¥8.09
Sun Wu (bettter known as Sun Tzu) was an ancient Chinese military general, strategist and philosopher who is traditionally believed, and who is most likely, to have authored the Art of War, an influential ancient Chinese book on military strategy. Sun Tzu has had a significant impact on Chinese and Asian history and culture, both as an author of the Art of War and through legend. During the 19th and 20th centuries, Sun Tzu's Art of War grew in popularity and saw practical use in Western society, and his work has continued to influence both Asian and Western culture and politics. Historians have questioned whether or not Sun Tzu was an authentic historical figure. Traditional accounts place him in the Spring and Autumn Period of China (722–481 BC) as a military general serving under King Helü of Wu, who lived c. 544—496 BC. Modern scholars accepting his historicity place the completion of The Art of War in the Warring States Period (476–221 BC), based on the descriptions of warfare in the text, and on the similarity of text's prose to other works completed in the early Warring States period."
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.

He was the eldest son of President Theodore Roosevelt and Edith Roosevelt. Roosevelt was instrumental in the forming of the American Legion in 1919.

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."

According to Wikipedia: "Rabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941), sobriquet Gurudev, was an Indian-Bengali polymath who reshaped his region's literature and music. Author of Gitanjali and its "profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse", he became the first non-European Nobel laureate by earning the 1913 Prize in Literature. In translation his poetry was viewed as spiritual and mercurial; his seemingly mesmeric personality, flowing hair, and other-worldly dress earned him a prophet-like reputation in the West. His "elegant prose and magical poetry" remain largely unknown outside Bengal."

Dodo Collections brings you another classic from M.M Mangasarian, ‘What is Christian Science?’ In this book the author makes an earnest endeavor to understand Christian Science and define its mission. He scrupulously verifies all his citations and references, and appeals to the judgment of those who are willing to hear both sides of the question. Mangasar Magurditch Mangasarian was an American rationalist and secularist of Armenian descent. Mangasarian considered himself a Rationalist or a Secularist not an Atheist, since he considered atheism a non-verifiable belief system. He was pastor at a Presbyterian church in Philadelphia, which he resigned from, becoming an independent preacher and a lecturer on "independent religion" in New York.

Dodo Collections brings you another classic from M. M. Mangasarian, ‘Is the Morality of Jesus Sound?’ ? This book is based upon the famous lecture delivered before the Independent Religious Society, Chicago by Mangasarian. ? Born in Mashger (now within Turkey) in the Ottoman Empire, M. M. Mangasarian attended Robert College in Constantinople, and was ordained as minister in Marsovan in 1878. In about 1880 he enrolled at Princeton University. He was pastor at a Presbyterian church in Philadelphia from 1882 to 1885, when he resigned, becoming an independent preacher and a lecturer on "independent religion" in New York. In 1892 he became leader of the Ethical Culture Society of Chicago, a group established by Felix Adler. In 1900 he organized the Independent Religious Society of Chicago, a rationalist group, of which he remained pastor until 1925. He retired to Piedmont, California, where he lived for the rest of his life. ? During his life Mangasarian wrote a number of books. His most popular, including The Truth About Jesus — Is He a Myth? (1909) andThe Bible Unveiled (1911), deal with the evidence against the existence of an historical Jesus. He also wrote hundreds of essays and lectures on questions of the times. His books and essays were translated into French, German, Spanish, and other foreign languages. The general subject of his writing was religious criticism and the philosophy of religion. Mangasarian considered himself a Rationalist or a Secularist not an Atheist, since he considered atheism a non-verifiable belief system.

Thomas Paine, Edmund Burke

This file includes both Common Sense by Thomas Paine (1776) and Edmund Burke's Speech on Conciliation with America (1775). According to Wikipedia: "Common Sense is a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine. It was first published anonymously on January 10, 1776, during the American Revolution. Common Sense, signed "Written by an Englishman", became an immediate success... Edmund Burke PC (12 January [NS] 1729–9 July 1797) was an Irish statesman, author, orator, political theorist and philosopher who, after moving to England, served for many years in the House of Commons of Great Britain as a member of the Whig party. He is mainly remembered for his support of the cause of the American Revolutionaries, and for his later opposition to the French Revolution. The latter led to his becoming the leading figure within the conservative faction of the Whig party, which he dubbed the "Old Whigs", in opposition to the pro–French Revolution "New Whigs", led by Charles James Fox... In the House of Commons on 22 March 1775 Burke delivered a speech (published in May 1775) on reconciliation with America."
