In the South Seas
￥40.79
For nearly ten years my health had been declining; and for some while before I set forth upon my voyage, I believed I was come to the afterpiece of life, and had only the nurse and undertaker to expect. It was suggested that I should try the South Seas; and I was not unwilling to visit like a ghost, and be carried like a bale, among scenes that had attracted me in youth and health. I chartered accordingly Dr. Merrit’s schooner yacht, the Casco, seventy-four tons register; sailed from San Francisco towards the end of June 1888, visited the eastern islands, and was left early the next year at Honolulu.

Ianoi e viu, atent i emoionat de orice problem de parc acum abia ar ntra, aplecndu-se uor, sub naltul portic al Cunoaterii. Curios, profesnd acea dubl curiozitate, rar azi – fa de problem, dar i fa de cel ce o ridic. Fa de Fiin. Cultura romn se poate felicita, n zilele i anii notri un pic buimaci, unde Nordul valorilor pare a se fi rtcit undeva, n alte secole sau pe alte continente, c posed un cercettor, un profesor i un ins capabil de o asemenea cuprindere a unor platforme culturale att de auguste i, aparent, contradictorii.

Iat unde putem gsi Idealul su Modelul, dezorientai nu rareori de propriile noastre ezitri i eecuri.“ (Nicolae Breban)Ianoi este un om pentru care problema morala exist, iar faptul acesta l aaz ntr-o postur extrem de fecund i de necesar, de mediator. ntr-o lume care devine tot mai conflictual, uneori n mod stupid, cu totul superficial i aberant. Ion Ianoi cred ca ne d o lecie de economie de conflict.

Ultima vr?jitoare din Transilvania. Vol. 2 - Mathias
￥40.79
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)

Povestiri, nu pove?ti!

Nihilismul lui tefan Bolea este o masc n spatele creia se ascunde o inocen perpetuu incandescent. Revolta blasfematorie a poetului marcheaz un ritual de trecere spre iniiere, degajnd, n mod paradoxal, o nemrginit sete de via. Muzicalitatea incantatorie a textelor n limbile german, englez i romn plonjeaz cititorul n viziunea lumii reale.“ (Basarab Nicolescu)

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.
