Just Jill
￥73.48
Just Jill is an inspirational and moving account of one woman's triumph over adversity and how she used her own experience of disability to benefit others.When she was growing up during the 1940s very few people were aware that Jill Allen-King had lost one eye as the result of measles when she was a baby. Her disability was a taboo subject and she attended a normal school, progressed to catering college and secured employment as a cook. However, tragedy struck for the second time when glaucoma rendered her completely blind at the age of 24 on what should have been one of the happiest occasions of her life - her wedding day.For the next seven years Jill barely left the house, too scared to go outside unaccompanied and afraid that she would never again be able to participate in the activities she loved, such as dancing. The birth of her daughter, Jacqueline, gave her renewed purpose but could not give her back the thing she desperately needed - her independence. It was only when Jill got her first guide dog that she began to rediscover the world outside her front door and take those first giant steps towards regaining her confidence and freedom. Jill's autobiography charts her journey from partially sighted child to totally blind adult and beyond, a process of readjusting and learning through grit and determination and then using her knowledge and experience to do everything in her power to help others and to campaign for reforms to secure a safer, fairer and more disability-aware environment. It is a story that will provide encouragement to those that are struggling to cope with disabilities and also educate people from all spheres of life about the challenges and needs of disabled people. At the age of 70, Jill continues to fight for the cause, and hopefully her story will inspire others to take up the baton.
Getting Darwin Wrong
￥107.81
Brendan Wallace, with a background in psychology, demonstrates that the key claims of Evolutionary Psychology (EP), popularised by Steven Pinker and others, are based on the 'brain is a digital computer' argument. He then argues that as we now know this model of the brain will not work, therefore EP won't work either, since it is based on a fallacious view of the mind/brain.The book, which is written in a reader friendly but rigorous style, is a timely assault on one of the most fashionable philosophies of mind currently 'out there'.

Legende urbane. Saga lui Mathias Coback
￥40.79
O poezie de o stranietate izbitoare, o lume postapocaliptic cldit pe datele unui imediat nstrinat. O poezie rece, tioas, ritmat (ritmul i aduce aportul formal la respectiva stranietate) care pune n dialog un Eu bntuit de moarte, pe care o citete, o palpeaz n toate detaliile unui univers cvasimitologic pe care-l construiete tocmai pentru a o putea circumscrie. Eul acesta al lui Kemény se afl ntr-o continu stare de asediu pe care o transfer asupra cititorului ideal adoptnd de multe ori structura narativ a mitului, a povestirii legendare (...)Materia are o greutate sufocant n poemele lui Kemény, contrastnd parc cu imaginile aflate n continu micare i transformare. Un vag suprarealism care aduce oarecum, vizual, cu acele videoclipuri ale anilor ’90 trzii, care mizau, pentru a obine stranietatea, pe ocul dat de alternarea dintre accelerarea brusc a micrii i aspectul static al temei mitologice (m gndesc n special la Metallica, clipul de la Until it sleeps)Un volum excelent, un adevrat manual de poezie care sun, datorit lui Andrei Dósa, impecabil.“ – Bogdan Alexandru Stanescu

B?rba?ii vin de pe Marte, femeile de la coafor este urmarea best-sellerului Femeile vin de pe Venus, b?rba?ii de la b?ut. Ambele volume s-au n?scut ?n paginile s?pt?m?nalului satiric Ca?avencii. De?i pare c? e vorba de un ?r?zboi ?ntre sexe“, ?n realitate, autorii n-au dus niciodat? un r?zboi, ci un dialog. R?nd pe r?nd, toate stereotipurile care circul? despre via?a de cuplu au fost puse ?ntr-o lumin? umoristic?, eliberatoare. Primul volum s-a bucurat de o primire extraordinar? din partea publicului, ating?nd ?n mai pu?in de doi ani de la lansare un tiraj de aproape 20.000 de exemplare. Ne face pl?cere s? v? oferim acum continuarea lui, const?nd ?ntr-o nou? colec?ie de texte pline de umor, inteligen?? ?i autoironie. * * * De unde naiba s? ?tie b?rbatul care-i sunt hainele murdare??? ??i miroase, timp de dou? ore, toate c?rpele de pe scaunul-cuier. Le ?mparte ?n dou? gr?mezi, unele curate ?i altele murdare. C?nd, transpirat, anun?? c? a terminat, bestia de so?ie se ?nfiin?eaz? ?i ia ambele mormane la sp?lat. — De ce le iei ?i pe-alea curate? o ?ntreab?, confuz. — Pentru c? sunt jegoase. ?i d?-le ?i pe toate alea de pe tine, c? put. — Dar sunt proasp?t sp?late, le-am luat de-abia acum o s?pt?m?n?. Vr?jitoarea e ?ns? de neclintit. ?i ?ntoarce spatele ?i iese, l?s?ndu-l gol, dezorientat, umilit ?i mirosindu-se la subra?. * * * C?nd e o hain? murdar?? C?nd te-ai uitat la ea. Ai p?ng?rit-o cu privirea ta. E ca ?i cum s-a frecat un pechinez ?n c?lduri pe ea, trebuie aruncat? la sp?lat. Multe femei stau la u?a ?ifonierului ?i te urm?resc c?nd ??i alegi haine: — Haaaa, tricou atins, tricou ?mbr?cat, tricou ?mpu?iiiiit!

Parodicul nu este doar unul dintre modurile comice; el este rezultatul variatelor ncercri pe care literatura le face spre a se rennoi prin autonegare. Asumndu-i acest rol, literatura parodic are luciditatea de a-i etala mecanismul auto-producerii, analizndu-i exagerrile, dar i constitutivele convenii. Aceast ntoarcere spre literaritatea literaturii pe care mizeaz orice demers parodic este camuflat prin aparena orientare spre diferii autori, texte sau stiluri. Orice parodist este, simultan, explorator prin textele altora, dar i autorul ce-i analizeaz lucid teritoriul propriului text. Una dintre aceste dou dimensiuni poate fi dominant ntr-o parodie, oscilaiile fiind generate att de parodist, ct i de contextul estetic cruia acesta i aparine. Dac, n mod normal, principiile critice urmeaz dezvoltrii formelor literare, discursul parodic este un discurs critic contient deghizat n form literar sau un discurs literar cu finalitate critic. Vorbim de parodia studiat estetic i nu de parodia ca simpl deformare, comis din ignoran.“ O fenomenologie a parodicului din Evul Mediu, epoc modern i postmodern, aceast carte ofer i analiza parodicului n operele unor scriitori ca Urmuz, Caragiale, Crtrescu .a.

Nout??ile critice sunt devastatoare: realul realului nu mai poate fi decodat, reinventat etc. dup? ?nt?lnirile sale repetate cu textul, dup? deform?rile sale repetate, dup? transfigur?rile ?i metamorfozele acestuia; cel mult, critica face posibil un real inventat, o inven?ie recombinatorie a ceea ce ar mai fi r?mas din realul realului dup? deform?rile sale repetate ?i multiplele ?ncifr?ri ?n text ale acestuia; o decodare a realului nu este posibil? nici m?car prin textul critic, odat? ce acesta se folose?te de un pattern similar celui literar ?n naiva sa tentativ? de a demola toate barierele ce ?l separ? de lumea realului; textul critic nu (mai) poate nici explica textul literar din perspectiva modului propriu ?n care acesta recombin?, inventeaz? sau numai deformeaz? realul ?i nici opera asupra lumii realului, a c?rei reinventare dup? dramatica ei suferin?? din tr?nta cu textul devine utopic?.Textul critic propune/ instituie un real propriu, un real critic, care nu este dec?t o form? (particular?) inventat? a tuturor ?nt?lnirilor anterioare dintre real ?i texte ca obiecte critice. El este o recompunere, o inven?ie, o masc?, o fantasm? care, spre deosebire de inven?iile literare (care au notorietatea de a deforma realul), mizeaz? pe minciuna cultural? (ori numai naivitatea) de a pretinde c? dispune de instrumente ?tiin?ifice (performante) de recuperare a realului din text ?i c? de?ine ?ntreg inventarul de recuperare a realului din cle?tii prea str?n?i ai corsetelor sale textuale.

Cosmos I Go search the ?ons an you willWhere withered leaves of Doubt are whirled,And who hath solved this riddle, Life,Or Death - that moves with sails unfurled,Beyond the straining eyes of manMarooned upon an unknown world. II Nor tongue hath told, nor vision caughtThat paradox. Primeval Cause;Each age has had some parableEach age succeeding marked the flaws;While shifted, with the calendar,What men have termed generic laws. III Creed after creed behold them nowLike Etna on Vesuvius piled;Till, scaled to earth by drifting sandsThey lie in later days reviled,And pushed aside by Time's rough handAs toys are, by a peevish child.

Dac? n-ar fi existat Cucu ?n mijlocul scriitorilor ?i dac? n-ar fi fost ?ntr-o m?sur? aproape magic? – a? zice – prieten cu ei ?i nu i-ar fi intuit, aceast? genera?ie important? a literaturii rom?ne n-ar fi existat vizual. Nu s-ar fi ?tiut cum eram. R?sfoind albumul lui, concluzia mea e c? eram frumo?i. Senza?ia e c? ne f?cea mai frumo?i dec?t eram. ?ntotdeauna c?nd v?d o fotografie a mea f?cut? de Ion Cucu, m? ?ntreb ?oare chiar a?a ar?tam ?n realitate?“.

Amurgul ora?elor este o antologie care reune?te cele mai valoroase poezii scrise de Nichita Danilov de la debutul din anii ‘80 p?n? ?n prezent. De?i este un membru de seam? al optzecismului, prezent ?n toate antologiile importante ale acestui curent literar, Nichita Danilov propune o poezie atemporal?, metaforic?, parabolic?, cu scenarii mitice, al c?rei model este, cum remarca ?i Nicolae Manolescu, Lucian Blaga. Se poate detecta la Nichita Danilov un neoexpresionism mistic ?i vizionar, dublat de o con?tiin?? ironic? vie.
