Facerea unei case necesit? voin?a ?i pricepere, cu at?t mai mult facerea unei lumi. Acum, cred ca Muzulie Ceatpat avea geniu. ?mprejur?rile ?ns? i-au fost neprielnice. Amintirile mele legate de proiectul lui se pierd ?n tenebrele Templului s?pat, mai ?nainte de to?i vecii, ?n st?nca hercinic?, de natur?, de oamenii primitivi, ori de c?tre sfin?ii atra?i prin lucarna surprinz?toare a cupolei, ?n str?dania lor de a comunica cu o lume mai presus de fire. Templul Celui Foarte Mare, Bai Ulgun, cum se pomene?te el din str?vechime, este o caverna uria?? ascuns? vederii ?n inima gorganului ?nalt acoperit de zmeuri? ?i tufe de alun printre grohoti?uri. Calota lui, deschisa lumii de un trepan uria?, permite accesul ?n interior pe traseul ?erpuitor al unei sc?ri?e s?pat? ?n t?mpla de piatra p?n? la arhitrava care ?ncercuie?te naosul. De aici se ajunge la platforma principala mult mai u?or, pe scara solida de stejar, ce coboar? ?n fr?nturi de cate ?apte trepte, ?n jurul unei coloane de sus?inere, p?n? la locul unde se petrec toate: jertfe, impreca?ii, rug?ciuni. De jur ?mprejur, delimit?nd parca secven?ial spa?iul ?i timpul, pe suprafa?? concav? a platformei dou?sprezece ?an?uri sub?iri pornesc ?n raze, ca spi?ele unei ro?i ce se unesc ?ntr-un un punct virtual din mijlocul chepengului p?trat aflat ?n opozi?ie cu lucarna rotund? din acoperi?, ?i care prelungit sub podeaua naosului, duce ?ntr-un h?u b?nuit, unind astfel cerul cu p?m?ntul. (Ileana Cudalb) Un roman senza?ional.

Existen?a diafana, care continu? volumele de autor Cercul de gra?ie (2003) ?i O carte pe s?pt?m?n? (2007), reprezint? o foarte echilibrat? ?i competent? radiografiere a simptomatologiei editoriale rom?ne?ti din anii 2000-2010, ?tefan Borbely unind ?ntre coper?ile aceluia?i volum at?t texte dedicate unor nume consacrate ale literaturii rom?ne (Marin Sorescu, Mircea Zaciu, Nicolae Breban, Marin Mincu, Livius Cioc?rlie, Adrian Marino, Horia-Roman Patapievici, Mircea C?rt?rescu, Paul Cornea, Dan C. Mih?ilescu), c?t ?i analize ale unor autori tineri, care s-au f?cut cunoscu?i ?n ultimii ani (Adrian Dohotaru, C?t?lin ?i Roxana Ghi??, Adriana Teodorescu, Florina Codreanu, Ioana Macrea-Toma, Constantina Raveca Buleu), cu c?r?i preponderent din domeniul istoriei ?i sintaxei mentalit??ilor ?i cel al studiilor culturale. Fire analitic?, scrut?toare, dotat? cu o bun? deschidere teoretic? ?i cu o impecabil? precizie a conceptelor, ?tefan Borbely este interesat cu prec?dere de idei ?i de simptomatologii culturale, textele dedicate jurnalului lui Adrian Marino (Via?a unui om singur), experimentalismului lui Marin Mincu sau modernit??ii ?n lectura lui Paul Cornea (toate prezente ?n carte) fiind dintre cele mai bune care s-au scris ?n domeniu. Pornind de la cazuri particulare ?i de la volume care au, f?r? excep?ie, o deschidere ideatic? vast?, incitant?, cartea profesorului Borbely reprezint? un foarte suplu efort de sintez? critic?, realizat? cu har, competen?a ?i profesionalism.

Cartea pe care joac? de la ?nceput D. ?epeneag este aceea a (neo)avangardei. A fost firesc ?i miraculos s? o ?nceap? la Bucure?ti, ?ntr-un moment de straniu, nea?teptat ?i viclean experiment politic ?liberal“-na?ional-comunist, c?nd literatura rom?n? ren??tea, ?n felurite chipuri, din cenu?? realist-socialist?. La Paris, ?n ianuarie 1971, descoperea o lume artistic? diferit?, dar cu dificult??i diferite ?i deloc ?ncur?j?toare. Exemplele lui Tzara, Isou, Ionesco, inimitabile, r?m?n, la o analiz? lucida a ?anselor, doar consolatoare. Nu-i u?or s? convingi o lume pentru care ?nnoirile at?t de frecvente au fost confiscate de tradi?ie. Parisul, Fran?a, limba lui Jarry s-au dezobi?nuit temeinic s? mai a?tepte scandaluri estetice de import. Produc?ia artistic? intern? e suficient?, chiar excedentar?. Sunt timpuri f?r? glorie, grele, pentru avangardi?tii parizieni. (Marian Victor Buciu)

Mitul felin ?n literatura universal? este o lucrare ?n care s-a ?ncercat sintetizarea ?ntr-o form? accesibil?, ?ns? f?r? a fi superficial?, a unei cantit??i impresionante de material, material g?sit at?t ?n publicistica rom?n? c?t ?i cea str?in?. Subiectul lucr?rii a fost o alegere subiectiv?, fiind aproapiat de sufletul autoarei. Fiecare capitol ?n parte trateaz? un aspect al temei dezv?luite ?n titlu, respect?nd ?n acela?i timp o linie cronologic?, acest lucru facilit?nd ?n mod semnificativ ?n?elegerea ?i asimilarea informa?iei. ?ns? ?ntreaga lucrare are ca punct comun permanenta oscilare ?ntre planul real ?i cel fantastic, fabulos, ?ntre documente oficiale (precum cronicile) ?i m?rturiile oferite de supersti?iile populare. ?n primul capitol observam ?ara de origine a pisicii, Egiptul, ?i modul ?n care aceasta era tratat? ca o zeitate cu atribu?ii contradictorii (uneori benefice, alteori sinistre). De?i exportul lor a fost interzis de catre egipteni din motive religioase, acest lucru nu a ?mpiedicat r?sp?ndirea lor ?n toate culturile lumii. Sunt analizate de asemenea ?i diversele legende legate de na?terea pisicii la diferite popoare. Al doilea capitol trateaz? ?n detaliu o tr?s?tur? principal? a mitului felin ?i anume aspectul s?u, parc? implicit, feminin. Feminitatea, tandre?ea, instinctele materne, capriciile, viclenia, elegan?a, independen?a sunt doar c?teva dintre calit??ile comune ale femeii ?i pisicii, calit??i ?nf??i?ate de nenum?ra?i scriitori ?i arti?ti din toate timpurile ?i culturile.Capitolul al treilea ne ?nf??i?eaz? eternele conflicte dintre pisici ?i c?ini (lupt?ndu-se pentru ?ncrederea ?i afec?iunea omului), dintre pisici ?i ?oareci (o ?lupt?“ milenar? ?ntre Bine ?i R?u, unde binele, reprezentat de pisic?, nu ??i poate p?stra mereu puritatea). Aceste ?lupte“ au avut ca rezultat obsesia multor popoare pentru pisici. Dar cu toate acestea, pisicile au fost ?i vor r?m?ne fiin?e independente, niciodat? accept?nd un ?st?p?n“. Nu sunt pu?ini scriitori care ?n operele lor au ?nf??i?at pisicile asemenea unor oameni, capabile de absolut orice: a scrie, a citi, a c?nta, a juca teatru ba chiar ?i a vorbi. Ele au ?i unele dintre calit??ile omului (compasiune, abilitatea de a iubi) dar ?i c?teva dintre defectele acestuia (egoism, violen??, indiferen??). De asemenea li se atribuie puteri supranaturale cum ar fi clarviziunea.

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)

E cu putin?? ca un studiu despre Constantin Noica – unul care se respect? ?i vrea s? fie respectat – s? fie scris de un literat? Noica are la noi statutul filosofului tare (faptul se explic? poate tocmai prin absen?a unei filosofii tari ?n spa?iul cultural rom?nesc) ?i, ?n plus, a cam dezavuat literatura, consider?nd-o cumva frivol?. Poate chiar pe scriitori. Prin urmare, s?nt toate datele ca acest fapt s? par? cel pu?in riscant. Dac? nu o insolen??. Doar c? Dorin Popescu, autorul c?r?ii, de?i absolvent de studii filologice, nu e numai ceea ce se nume?te ?ndeob?te prin literat; pe de alt? parte, din confruntarea cu exerci?iul exegetic nici Constantin Noica nu mai iese la fel de ?ncorsetat ?n tiparele prejudec??ilor. Altfel spus, nici Constantin Noica nu mai este Constantin Noica – a?a cum apare ?n tratatele despre filosofia rom?neasc?. (Mircea A. Diaconu)

De?i termenul structur? e oarecum inadecvat acestei materii de fr?gezimi ce se transcriu ca atare, f?r? grija unei osaturi, a unui tipar ce i-ar st?njeni fluiditatea, evanescent?. Fiin?a respir? neconstr?ns? de nimic, supus? doar clipei, ?nc?nta?iei tranzitoriului. A?tept?rile sale sunt naiv-fabuloase, ?n continuitatea unei copil?rii care nu s-a epuizat, care-?i tr?ie?te intens uimirile, dezvolt?ndu-le fin imaginativ... O atare autoscopie fantezista este rodul unei virtuozit??i a simplit??ii. Coeziunea textului se produce ?n jurul acestei neputin?e de a accepta ordinea pragmatic?, meschin?ria, ?n numele unei candori funciare.

Fie c? ne prezint? metodologii de obedien?? structuralist?, neomarxist?, jungian?, lacanian?, func?ionalist-simbolic? sau fenomenologic?, autoarea e constant fascinat? de un fenomen care, la un cap?t al s?u, presupune ordine, alegere ra?ional?, logic? instrumental?, iar, la celalalt, revela?ie, intensitate, magnetism, charism?, ?ntr-un cuv?nt: magie. Cartea are darul de a ?nf??isa, mai degraba dec?t o ?paradigma“, o panoram? a spiritului secolului al XIX-lea, ?n rela?ie cu tema puterii. Deschiderea curajoas? c?tre un fenomen de o asemenea amploare aminte?te de aura eroic? a unor faimoase ?ntreprinderi intelectuale (Peter Gay, de pild?), deseori invocate, cu implicita admira?ie ?i pricepere, ?n lucrarea Constantinei Buleu.

Theodore Roosevelt
￥18.56
Theodore Roosevelt had the good fortune to be born of a well-known, long-established family, with every facility for education and with an atmosphere of patriotism and disinterested service both to country and humanity all about him. In his father he had before him an example of lofty public spirit, from which it would have been difficult to depart. But if the work of his ancestors relieved him from the hard struggle which meets an unaided man at the outset, he also lacked the spur of necessity to prick the sides of his intent, in itself no small loss. As a balance to the opportunity which was his without labor, he had not only the later difficulties which come to him to whom fate has been kind at the start; he had also spread before him the temp-tations inseparable from such inherited advantages as fell to his lot—temptations to a life of sports and pleasure, to lettered ease, to an amateur's career in one of the fine arts, perhaps to a money-making business, likewise an inheritance, none of them easily to be set aside in obedience to the stern rule that the larger and more facile the opportunity the greater and more insistent the responsibility. ? About Author: ? henry Cabot Lodge (May 12, 1850 – November 9, 1924) was an American Republican Senator and historian from Massachusetts. Lodge received his PhD in history from Harvard. Lodge was a long-time friend and confidant of Theodore Roosevelt. Lodge had the role (but not the official title) of the first Senate Majority Leader. He is best known for his positions on foreign policy, especially his battle with President Woodrow Wilson in 1919 over the Treaty of Versailles. Lodge demanded Congressional control of declarations of war; Wilson refused and blocked Lodge's move to ratify the treaty with reservations. As a result, the United States never joined the League of Nations.Historian George E. Mowry argues that: Henry Cabot Lodge was one of the best informed statesmen of his time, he was an excellent parliamentarian, and he brought to bear on foreign questions a mind that was at once razor sharp and devoid of much of the moral cant that was so typical of the age....[Yet] Lodge never made the contributions he should have made, largely because of Lodge the person. He was opportunistic, selfish, jealous, condescending, supercilious, and could never resist calling his opponent's spade a dirty shovel. Small wonder that except for Roosevelt and Root, most of his colleagues of both parties disliked him, and many distrusted him. * * *

K.V. Dominic Criticism and Commentary:Essential Readings Companion
￥48.74
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.
