The Essential Epicurus
The Essential Epicurus
Epicurus
¥40.79
For Epicurus, the purpose of philosophy was to attain the happy, tranquil life, characterized by peace and freedom from fear, the absence of pain, and by living a self-sufficient life surrounded by friends. He taught that pleasure and pain are the measures of what is good and evil; death is the end of both body and soul and should therefore not be feared; the gods neither reward nor punish humans; the universe is infinite and eternal; and events in the world are ultimately based on the motions and interactions of atoms. Although much of Epicurus' written work has been lost, the remaining principle doctrines and his letters featured in this book provide an insight into the Epicurean school of thought, which was originally based in the garden of his house and thus called The Garden.

The Shining Light
The Shining Light
Galymkair Mutanov
¥90.03
Poetry has always been in the Kazakh blood, and Galym Mutanov is one of the newly independent nation’s leading poets, a shining light in the Kazakh literary world. In the range of his poetry, Mutanov truly captures the essence of the Kazakh spirit – from the tough and ageless traditions of the wild steppe to moments of tender intimacy. The measured Islamic wisdom and deep sense of morality so intrinsic to Kazakh life of old shines through in verse after verse. The figure of Abai, the 19th century visionary, the deeply spiritual poet of the steppe, looms large over Kazakh poetry. Mutanov takes up the challenge that Abai threw down – to create verse that is both steeped in the Kazakh tradition of oral verse yet rises to a new clarity and spirituality relevant today. Mutanov wrote originally in Kazakh, but many Kazakhs speak only Russian. So his poems were translated into Russian by leading poets Vladimir Buryazev and M. Adibaeva. It is these Russian versions that provided the source for John Farndon’s translations with Olga Nakston for this collection. Galym Mutanov is not only a poet but something of a polymath. He is a hugely distinguished academic, with over 400 scientific papers to his credit, and currently rector of al-Farabi Kazakh National University in Alma-Ata. In 2013, his achievements were recognized in France by the award of a Chevalier L'Ordre des Palmes académiques.

About the Author Sweta Srivastava Vikram is a multi-genre writer and marketing professional living in New York City. She is the author of Because All Is Not Lost from Modern History Press and the co-author of Whispering Woes of Ganges & Zambezi (Cyberwit 2010). Her work has appeared in six countries across three continents. Sweta has held recent artist residencies and workshops in Portugal, Ireland, and several within USA. She is a graduate of Columbia University. "In this innovative series, Sweta Srivastava Vikram re-appropriates color. Cultures and mythologies collide along the way, and the result is a chapbook that feels like a quest. In the end, the colors are a map to identity. The child's pink tonsils or the bride's red sari are not symbols, but rather mile markers. Like Vikram's poems, they lead toward understanding" --Erica Wright, Senior Poetry Editor, GuernicaAbout the Chapbook The book delves into the implication and philosophy of colors from a Hindu woman's point of view, from birth until death. The color she adorns herself with almost depicts the story of her life. Expressed through different poetic and verbal forms, each color in the book has its own tone and is specific to different age groups.

Prin acest volum, se continu? publicarea jurnalelor lui Rainer Maria Rilke, redactate ?n tinere?ea lui.Jurnalul florentin este cea mai timpurie ?nsemnare autobiografica a poetului, prilejuit? de un voiaj ?n ora?ul lui Dante, a?ternut? pe h?rtie la pu?in dup? 20 de ani. Valoarea lui nu const? doar ?n impresiile, st?rile suflete?ti ori tr?irile autorului, ci ?i ?n faptul c? el dezv?luie c?teva dintre conceptele fundamentale, pe care se va sprijini ?ntreaga lui crea?ie ulterioar?. El dezv?luie obsesia durabil? a autorului cu privire la destinul s?u artistic: ?Deseori m? cuprinde o imens? nostalgie dupa mine ?nsumi. ?tiu prea bine, drumul e ?nc? lung.“ Jurnalul de la Westerwede, de?i evoc? doar un an din existen?a lui Rilke, dezv?luie o intret?iere de experien?e ?i de evenimente, precum debutul c?sniciei cu Clara Westhoff, dar ?i lupta cotidiana pentru existen?? ?n sensul cel mai propriu al cuv?ntului. Lipsit de ajutorul financiar patern, el se vede nevoit s?-?i c??tige p?inea printr-o salahoreal? istovitoare ?i deloc artistic m?gulitoare la diverse ziare ?i reviste. Nu lipsesc, desigur, reflec?iile despre art?, v?zute ca un modus vivendi: ?Arta este un mijloc al indivizilor, al ?nsigura?ilor de a se ?mplini pe sine“.

Cititorul va avea surpriza de a descoperi aici un nou Stendhal, un Stendhal al istoriei politice. El a fcut aceste, din pcate, neterminate nsemnri despre Napoleon, n doua etape, la un interval de aproape douzeci de ani ntre ele. Tot ce a scris n cursul acestor dou tentative a fost adunat sub titlul general de Napoleon n aceste dou volume dintre care primul: Viaa lui Napoleon, a fost scris la Milano, n 1817-1818; cel de-al doilea: Mrturii despre Napoleon, la Paris, n 1836-1837. N-ar trebui totui s se cread ca Beyle (nsoindu-l ca ofiter pe Napoleon n campania din Germania, Henri Beyle i-a ales pseudonimul de la micul ora Stendhal, unde fusese o vreme ncartiruit – n.t.) a luat pana n mna numai sub impulsul evenimentelor, animat de entuziasmul admiraiei fa de Napoleon i indignat totodat de a vedea n Frana o att de mare lips de recunotin fa de un brbat att de mare. Nu, dorina lui de a fi istoric, n-a spune chiar vocaia lui, dateaz de mai nainte. La nti frimaire an XI (22 noiembrie 1802), n toiul pasiunii poetice a vrstei, el i nota n carnet proiectul de a ntreprinde trei lucrri n proz: Istoria lui Bonaparte, Istoria Revoluiei i Istoria marilor oameni care au trit n timpul Revoluiei Franceze. i cu mare nelepciune el adaug: a se ncepe aceste trei lucrri la treizeci i cinci ani, adic peste cincisprezece ani. […]Stendhal este deopotriv unul din primii istorici care au scos n eviden principiul moral care susinea faada oficial a regimului, i cum primul Imperiu era ajutat de aceast emulaie care tindea ctre aceleai satisfacii, ctre aceeai nevoie de a strluci, de a se remarca, de se distinge cu orice pre. Pasiune colectiv pentru ilustrarea creaia el ne-a dat exemple gritoare. Imperiul fcea s se nasc toate aceste porniri i sentimente nu numai la francezi, ci deopotriva la toate popoarele unde Napoleon i ducea armatele. Reaciile Italiei, n mod cu totul special, n-au fost nicicnd analizate cu mai mult rafinament dect a fcut-o el.“ (Henri Martineau)

Demontarea mecanismelor secrete ale universului real se face ?n aceste texte cu mult? economie a mijloacelor stilistice, folosite adecvat ?i riguros, cu o precizie aproape geometric?. Demonstra?ia recurge adeseori la artificiul visului, al vedeniei puse ?n contrast cu vederea – de unde ?i titlul volumului – dar f?r? a ceda tenta?iei surrealiste sau onirice, a absurdului gratuit sau a fantaz?rii de dragul fantaz?rii.
