La attea pricini care-mi ntresc convingerea c avem de-a face cu un poet remarcabil, a aduga i pe acela, deloc secundar, c n ciuda unui anumit nomadism al strilor de spirit ale poetului, el gsete mijloace foarte variate de a pune n scen sentimentul su, ceea ce face ca poemele s capete individualitate.“ – Cornel Regman

The novel follows three parallel stories of courtship and marriage and the decisions of three strong women: Alice Vavasor, her cousin Glencora Palliser, and her aunt Arabella Greenow. Early on, Alice asks the question: What should a woman do with her life? This theme repeats itself in the dilemmas faced by the other women in the novel. Lady Glencora and her husband Plantagenet Palliser recur in the remainder of the Palliser series.

Peek inside the mind one of Contemporary India's most influential poets Inside this book you'll find Dr. Ramesh Chandra Mukhopadhyaya, one of the most erudite philosopher-critics of India, brilliantly evaluating his compatriot English poet K.V. Dominic. Among the contemporary English poets of India, Dr. K.V. Dominic has established an unchallengeable position of his own. Through his poetry collections Winged Reason, Write Son, Write, Multicultural Symphony, Contemporary Concerns and Beyond, and K.V. Dominic: Essential Readings and Study Guide, Dominic has beautifully portrayed themes of environmental, social, political, and humanitarian concerns. Mukhopadhyaya, with his unique style, critically and philosophically studies not only Dominic's poetry, but also the poet himself as a person with his background of family, town, state, and country. Being a master of Indian as well as western philosophy, Mukhopadhyaya digs out the philosophic thoughts lying hidden in many of the poems. In addition, his depth in English and Sanskrit literature has enabled him to make comparisons of Dominic's poems to those of the legends. "Dominic's poetry reflects India. This is the base of the study by Mukhopadhyaya who has taught literature and authored books. He finds Dominic's poetry irresistible. I add that Mukhopadyaya's book is enlightening and also irresistible. His study is a compassionate painting of Dominic's poetry with the shades that are eternal." --Dr. Stephen Gill, Canadian poet and novelist "Dr. Mukhopadhyaya's critique is a remarkable contribution to Dominic's poetry, as it is systematically written with philosophical explications and comparisons to great legends as well as classical poets of the East and the West. Indeed an important addition to the existing works on this major literary figure." --Dr. Rob Harle, Australian poet, author and artist "More than merely an analysis of Dominic's poems, this book is an insight into the vibrant philosophy experienced by the Indian mind that has amalgamated both the perennial bliss and the painful vicissitudes of life to foster sublime and universal notions of life. As the volume reveals the personality of the poet, it invites attention to the authenticity of the impersonal theory of poetry." --Dr. S. Kumaran, Indian critic, scholar and academician, author of Philosophical Musings for a Meaningful Life: An Analysis of K.V. Dominic's Poems Learn more at www.profkvdominic.com From Modern History Press www.ModernHistoryPress.com

For 7 to 9-year-old boys and girls. Children, usually driven by peer-pressure, want the latest toys, electronics and clothes, but have little understanding of the value of money or where it comes from. This is essential knowledge for later years. Billy wants a new skateboard and games controller, but doesn’t understand why he can’t have them bought for him. He doesn’t pay anything towards other household costs, so why does he have to contribute to a toy? His mum and dad are presented with some large and unexpected household bills, but once Billy understands the challenges his parent’s face, it makes him respect them more, and understand how much they work to invest in their family. Does Billy get a new skateboard? Who pays for it? Can the family afford to keep their pet dog? Billy Wants It All is the seventh title in the Billy Growing Up series. Each book addresses a unique topic—bullying, arrogant pride, jealousy, lying, stealing, lack of self-belief, understanding money, and secrets. Written to help parents, guardians and teachers deal with the issues that challenge pre-teen children; each topic is presented in a gentle way through storytelling. Setting the issues in a meaningful context helps children to understand the challenges, and to see things from a different perspective. The books act as icebreakers allowing for discussions of difficult subjects. Additionally, each title is supported by a free activity book to reinforce the learning, while having fun. Buying this book today will help your child learn about the value of money and where it comes from.

Fegyverek lehetnek-e pusztítóbb, gyilkos fegyverek, Mint a ragyogó n?i szemek? Lágy természet sátrába bekuporodva, A nap csak mécsesként pislákolva, ?rzi szerelmedet. Hallottál még annyi árulásról, Mit egy szép h?lgy magába tárol? ?szi es?ként patakba folyt a k?nny, F?ld anyánk méhében új gy?trelem k?sz?n. Burkában fogva vagy. Menekültél már asszonyi kacagás el?l, Mi kíméletlenül, hátadba t?rként kerül? Ha igen, keress meg engem kedvesem, ?n már régen letettem fegyverem. Szeg?dj társamul. Ajánlások... ?Els?re nagyon szép!

Discursul acesta ?ndr?gostit este structurat din termeni care apar?in filosofiei sau esteticii, fiind grefat pe structura de discurs a celui mai prestigios mit al poeziei: mitul lui Orfeu ?i Euridice. Acest mit reprezint? cadrul unei fenomenologii a c?ut?rii ?i cunoa?terii Fiin?ei, care arunc? o lumin? ?n ad?ncul fenomenologiei Operei. Autorul porne?te de la premiza c? sensul unei opere nu poate fi c?utat ?i cunoscut dec?t ?n orizontul Fiin?ei. Poezia liric? la care se restr?nge demersul teoretic ?i critic al lucr?rii poate vorbi nu numai despre prezen??, ci ?i despre absen?a Fiin?ei, altfel spus, at?t despre ce este, c?t ?i despre ce nu este Fiin?a. Orice fenomenologie devine, ?n cele din urm?, ontologie. Periplurile hermeneutice sunt f?cute prin opera unor poe?i ca, bun?oar?, Eminescu, Barbu, Arghezi, Nichita.

Viaa l-a fcut prudent. Cine i va dezvlui spiritul profund Poetul i savantul nu au fcut niciodat concesii. Nici omul nu are pe contiin fapte grandilocvent-regretabile, dei a stat sub vremi, iar ideologia marxist i-a fcut pe muli s-i ascund spiritul critic.“ – Gheorghe Postelnicu

Cum dispare, cu de la sine putere, realismul socialist, transform?ndu-se – ?n textele publicate dup? ‘90 – ?ntr-un ?realism atroce“, ce oglinde?te p?r?ile ?ntunecate ?i incendiare ale existen?ei? Minimonografia Nicoletei S?lcudeanu, critic, profesor ?i istoric literar, r?spunde sugestiv ?i pertinent la aceast? ?ntrebare, cartea ei constituind-o un manual indirect de istorie a literaturii postdecembriste. Cartea se adreseaz? elevilor, studen?ilor, precum ?i publicului larg de cititori.

ncepnd cu Grdina magistrului Thomas (1995), care reprezint debutul su editorial, tefan Borbély se recomand ca un critic eliberat de marotele locale, dezinhibat de complexe endemice i dotat cu o deschidere hermeneutic n care referinele creative principale par a fi acelea germane (Nietzsche, Freud, Jung, Kafka, Hermann Hesse i Thomas Mann). Autorul tezei de doctorat De la Herakles la Eulenspiegel. Eroicul (publicat sub form de carte n 2001) reuete s depeasc handicapul speculativ att de flagrant pentru critica noastr postbelic, rmas la stadiul unui orizont de ateptare provincialist, n imposibilitate de a lua contact cu ideile critice din alte pri i a se sincroniza normal cu demersul interdisciplinaritii. Alonja deschiderii comparatiste, ca i apetitul tririi nietzscheene a ideilor fac din tefan Borbély o personalitate critic n expansiune. El este un hermeneut de descenden eliadist care cerceteaz topologia auroral a umanitii, subsumnd-o categoriei eroicului, n perimetrul creia se pot decela fundamentele culturii i civilizaiei mediteraneene. Prin opera de cercettor i culturolog avizat, tefan Borbély este un exemplu important de integrare a criticii noastre postdecembriste n sfera hermeneuticii europene.“ – Marin Mincu

Am ales cazul de ruptur n evoluia unor exponeni proemineni din literatura romn actual, ruptura care a dus fie la impas, fie la regenerare. Pentru termenii conflictului un factor hotrtor l-a constituit n condiiile date epoca n formele ei de constrngere i de emulaie. Sunt convins c n alte circumstane ecuaia ar fi avut componente diferite. Nu sugerez c ar fi obligatorie restrngerea n ilustrarea pe care o propun, s-ar mai fi putut aduga cu aceeai ndreptite, recunosc, i alte aplicaii. Analizele nu sunt exhaustive, ele insist asupra unui fenomen caracteristic. Deruta ivit la unii pe traseu, parial sau total, s-a articulat pe planul angajrii civice i al nchegrii estetice. Trebuie s remarc o diferen n abordare, deoarece unii din cei selectai (G. Clinescu, M. Preda) nu mai sunt n via, aadar pentru ei e exclus posibilitatea unei schimbri de destin. A survenit pentru toi necesitatea unei racordri la orizontul epocii moderne, la presiunea raporturilor de for, la nvala dogmatismului, la ansele unei sincronizri cu Europa. Imperios necesar a fost lepdarea de prejudecile naionaliste i provinciale, ieirea din comarul ideologiei i al somaiei dure.“ – S. Damian
