Irene Matoko, rom?nc? cu tat? congolez, scrie cu lacrimi ?n ochi ?i cu durere ?n suflet. Scurta sa relatare ne impresioneaz? profund ?i ne face s? ne ?ntreb?m cum este posibil ca, ?n secolul XXI, s? persiste ?n sufletele unor oameni ura de ras? ?i prejudec??ile ?n fa?a tr?s?turilor fizice native ale semenilor no?tri.Din p?cate, profesori ?i colegi, persoane la care ne-am a?tepta cel mai pu?in s? prigoneasc? o fiin?? uman? pentru simplul fapt c? are pielea de alt? culoare, ac?ioneaz? brutal ?i inuman ?mpotriva unor copii nevinova?i.Citi?i cartea aceasta ?i pl?nge?i. Citi?i cartea aceasta ?i privi?i-v? ?n oglind?. Citi?i aceast? carte ?i aminti?i-v? de cele dou? porunci ale lui Isus: iube?te-l cu toat? fiin?a pe Dumnezeu (acesta, care a creat rasele umane) ?i iube?te-l pe semenul t?u ca pe tine ?nsu?i.Chiar dac? semenul t?u are alt? culoare.

L-am auzit pe Iulian Tnase zicnd c-aa se cheam povetile-poeme. ndat m-am gndit la Petronela, c-o tiu de undeva, din miezul nestricat al lumii, din timpurile-n care nu i se despriser apele i nici vntoasele n asta i cealalt.

Nat Turner
¥8.09
According to Wikipedia: "Nathaniel "Nat" Turner (October 2, 1800 – November 11, 1831) was an American slave who led a slave rebellion in Virginia on August 21, 1831 that resulted in 56 deaths among their victims, the largest number of white fatalities to occur in one uprising in the antebellum southern United States. He gathered supporters in Southampton County, Virginia. Turner's killing of whites during the uprising makes his legacy controversial. For his actions, Turner was convicted, sentenced to death, and executed. In the aftermath, the state executed 56 blacks accused of being part of Turner's rebellion. Two hundred additional blacks were beaten and killed, as part of overreaction by white militias and mobs. Virginia and other southern states passed legislation reducing rights of free blacks and slaves. Across the South, state legislators passed new laws prohibiting education of slaves and free blacks, restricting rights of assembly and other civil rights for free blacks, and requiring white ministers to be present at black worship services."

Aer ?n iarb? este o poezie a ciclicit??ii. Anotimpuri ?i anotimpuri ale inimii. Toposuri ?i loca?uri ale refugiului ?n bucurii simple. Regenerarea prin elemente g?site ?n col?urile altor inimi. O poezie filmic?. O dinamic? cinematic? a cuvintelor ?i a surprizelor prinse de suflet ?i redate ?n pixelii colora?i ai fericirilor nea?teptate. Aer ?n iarb? este ?i ?n ?note de mare“ ?i ?n ?prim?vara la cheie“ un ciclu care mimeaz? numai aparent dicteul automat. Aer ?n iarb? este momentul c?nd treci pe strad? ?i scapi de lume, este spa?iul gol dintre cuvintele care ??i rostesc via?a ca s? dea propulsie maxim?.?Cu totul remarcabil? este, ?n poemele lui Mihai Vieru, capacitatea autorului de a descoperi, ?n spatele spectacolului cotidian, prezen?a miraculosului, a misterului, c?teodat? feeric, alt?dat? terifiant. Poetul e un spirit fantast, ?nzestrat cu ni?te antene extrem de sensibile la partea de umbr? a existen?ei, ?i un vizionar apt s? surprind? spectacularul banalului ?i s? transforme, a?a cum ??i dorea pe vremuri Rimbaud, o fabric? oarecare ?ntr-o moschee.“ (Octavian Soviany)

Abraham Lincoln
John T. Morse
¥8.09
Classic biography of Lincoln, first published in 1899. According to Wikipedia: "According to Wikipedia: "Abraham Lincoln is a 2-volume biography of Abraham Lincoln written by John Torrey Morse (1840-1937). Originally published in 1893, the New York times found it to be "for its scope, admirable. It will even stand up and appear respectable in the most distinguished company of Lincoln biographies that might be assembled." The author is "a sane biographer, who brings to the task of writing about Lincoln a mind that aspires to see clear and think straight, instead of one held slavishly subject to a heart's desire to make Lincoln out a hero without fault or blemish." The Atlantic Monthly noted that Morse had "attempted a bit of scientific painting and not a portraiture to the life. The book is a criticism, consequently, rather than an appreciation." They also noted that Morse concentrates mostly on the five years that Lincoln was in office... In 1987, Gabor Boritt noted that Morse was the first biographer to have "fully exemplified as well as diagnosed the above ailment [the schism between the self-serving, not very admirable politician that Lincoln was up until 1860 versus the later "unparalleled greatness"]." Morse has written of "the insoluble problem of two men - two lives - one following the other with no visible link... we have physically one creature, morally and mentally two beings."

Time magazine, in a review of a biography of Chesterton, observed of his writing style: "Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories—first carefully turning them inside out."

Classic collection of essays. According to Wikipedia: "Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 - 1936) was an influential English writer of the early 20th century. His prolific and diverse output included journalism, philosophy, poetry, biography, Christian apologetics, fantasy and detective fiction. Chesterton has been called the "prince of paradox." He wrote in an off-hand, whimsical prose studded with startling formulations. For example: "Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it."[2] He is one of the few Christian thinkers who are equally admired and quoted by both liberal and conservative Christians, and indeed by many non-Christians. Chesterton's own theological and political views were far too nuanced to fit comfortably under the "liberal" or "conservative" banner."

The Introduction begins: "As a professional critic of life and letters, my principal business in the world is that of manufacturing platitudes for tomorrow, which is to say, ideas so novel that they will be instantly rejected as insane and outrageous by all right thinking men, and so apposite and sound that they will eventually conquer that instinctive opposition, and force themselves into the traditional wisdom of the race."
