Once upon a time a great and powerful King married a lovely Princess. No couple were ever so happy; but before their honeymoon was over they were forced to part, for the King had to go on a warlike expedition to a far country, and leave his young wife alone at home. Bitter were the tears she shed, while her husband sought in vain to soothe her with words of comfort and counsel, warning her, above all things, never to leave the castle...

An Irish Fiction Omnibus is a collection of three bestselling novels from Orna Ross, perfect for fans of The Irish Heart series by Juliet Gauvin and An Irish Family Saga series by Jean Reinhardt. After the Rising, book one in The Irish Trilogy is a historical murder mystery of love, revenge and redemption. Twenty years ago, Jo Devereux fled Mucknamore, the small Irish village where she grew up, driven away by buried secrets and hatreds, swearing never to return Now she is back and wants to uncover the truth… What really happened between her family and their friends, the O’Donovans, during the Ireland’s bitter Civil War? The consequences of that bitter division in the 1920s carried down into Jo’s own life, shattering her relationship with Rory O’Donovan, the only man she ever loved, and driving her to leave Ireland. Now, Jo’s estranged mother has died, leaving her a suitcase full of letters and diaries that seem answer some questions about the past. Over the course of a long hot summer, Jo is astonished to read about her grandmother and great-aunt, their part in Ireland’s fight for freedom and the repercussions that echoed throughout their lives. She has learned how the passion of rebellion sweeps people up but what happens after the rising? Her Secret Rose is the first book in The Yeats-Gonne Trilogy, chronicling the passionate relationship between W.B. Yeats and Maud Gonne.? Willie Yeats was 23 years old in 1889, when Maud Gonne, six feet tall, elegantly beautiful and passionately political, came calling to his house and “the troubling of his life” began.? He spread his dreams under her feet, as they set about creating a new Ireland, through his poetry and her politics, and their shared interest in the occult. Packed with emotional twists and surprises, Her Secret Rose is a novel of secrets and intrigue, passion and politics, mystery and magic, that brings to life 1890s Dublin, London and Paris, two fascinating characters — and a charismatic love affair that altered the course of history for two nations. Blue Mercy is a literary family drama, with a murder at its heart, full of emotional twists and surprises. When Mercy Mulcahy was 40 years old, she was accused of killing her elderly and tyrannical father. Now, at the end of her life, she has written a book about what really happened on that fateful night of Christmas Eve, 1989. The tragic and beautiful Mercy has devoted her life to protecting Star, especially from the father whose behavior so blighted her own life. Yet Star vehemently resists reading her manuscript. Why? What is Mercy hiding? Was her father's death an assisted suicide? Or something more sinister? In this book, nothing is what it seems on the surface and everywhere there are emotional twists and surprises. Will you side with mother or daughter?

Set in Edwardian London, Night and Day contrasts the daily lives and romantic attachments of two acquaintances, Katharine Hilbery and Mary Datchet. The novel examines the relationships between love, marriage, happiness, and success. The sky and stars as well as river Thames serve as supporting characters throughout the book.

Charles Dickens wrote this book for his own children hoping to help them bye and bye, to read with interest larger and better books on the same subject. The history covers the period between 50 BC and 1689, ending with a chapter summarising events from then until the accession of Queen Victoria. The book is considered one of the finest English history texts.

In the continuing story of Anne Shirley, this book draws the focus back onto a single character, Anne and Gilbert's youngest daughter Bertha Marilla "Rilla" Blythe. It has a more serious tone, as it takes place during World War I and the three Blythe boys—Jem, Walter, and Shirley—along with Rilla's sweetheart Ken Ford, and playmates Jerry Meredith and Carl Meredith—end up fighting in Europe with the Canadian Expeditionary Force. This book follows Anne from the age of 49 to 53.

Ця книга приведе вас до одно? дивовижно? думки: те, що, на наш погляд, найб?льше заважа? нам реал?зувати найдужч? наш? бажання, може насправд? пришвидшити ?хн? зд?йснення. Установки на позитивне мислення здобули популярн?сть не лише в адепт?в нейро-л?нгв?стичного програмування, але й у запеклих оптим?ст?в ? мр?йник?в. Однак на практиц? при?мн? оч?кування чомусь не зд?йснюються. Чому так в?дбува?ться, що ста? перепоною для досягнення бажаного ? як уникнути негативних насл?дк?в – основн? питання, на як? авторка в?дпов?да? детально й аргументовано, використовуючи дан? найнов?ших наукових досл?джень. Окр?м того, вона розпов?да? ц?кав? ?стор?? з життя, в?дстежуючи причинно-насл?дков? зв’язки м?ж оч?куваннями та результатами.

Перешкод не уникнути. Вони розчаровують ? парал?зують сучасне сусп?льство. Та год? ?х сприймати негативно, вважа? мед?астратег Раян Гол?дей. Адже кожна перешкода — це можлив?сть перев?рити себе, спробувати щось нове ?, врешт?-решт, вийти переможцем.??Використовуючи принципи сто?к?в, автор допоможе побачити ситуац?ю в ц?лому ? зосередитися на тому, що можна зм?нити. Навчить, як стати емоц?йно ст?йк?шим, знаходити у проблемах можливост? ? виробити ?мун?тет до труднощ?в.??

V? ?ngrijoreaz? apatia partenerului din ultima vreme? V? irit? zg?rcenia prietenilor? Sau v? ?nfurie nep?sarea colegilor de birou?Fie c? e vorba despre minusurile observate la al?ii sau de propriile defecte, cartea de fa?? v? invit? s? explora?i ?i s? integra?i ?ntr-un mod constructiv ?i s?n?tos toate aceste aspecte de ?umbr?“ ale vie?ii voastre.Folosind concepte psihologice accesibile (proiec?ie, rezonan??, polaritate), Ruediger Dahlke demonstreaz? prin exemple din realitatea curent? ?n ce fel pute?i transforma sl?biciunile ?n puncte forte ?i asperit??ile interpersonale ?n oportunit??i de cre?tere. G?ndirea ?n ?alb ?i negru“ va fi astfel ?nlocuit? de o con?tientizare a nuan?elor ?i multiplelor ?fe?e“ ale vie?ii, oferind cititorului ?ansa de a ac?iona mai ?n?elept, mai pu?in tensionat, cu acel echilibru specific persoanelor care ?i-au reg?sit centrul.

Rela?ii interpersonale intense ?i haotice, accese de furie, impulsivitate, amenin??ri cu abandonul sau cu suicidul… dup? ce ai cunoscut ?ndeaproape o astfel de persoan? r?m?i adesea cu un gust amar ?i cu ?ntrebarea: ?Unde am gre?it?" ?n spatele acestui tablou ?nnegurat, se afl? ?ns? drama protagonistului – temeri profunde, o senza?ie de vid interior, ne?ncredere fundamental? ?n sine.Lumea unui ?borderline" este ?n alb ?i negru, acut?, direct?, f?r? nuan?e, cu at?t mai impresionant?, cu c?t ace?ti oameni sunt capabili s? duc? o via?? func?ional?. Pot fi partenerul de cuplu, colega de serviciu, amicul din copil?rie.Cartea de fa??, bazat? pe informa?ii din cele mai noi cercet?ri ?n domeniu, reprezint? un ghid cuprinz?tor prin h??i?urile acestei personalit??i aflate la grani?a dintre nevroz? ?i psihoz?. Scris? ?ntr-un limbaj accesibil, ea se adreseaz? at?t terapeu?ilor, c?t ?i publicului larg, aduc?nd lumin? asupra posibilelor cauze ale acestei tulbur?ri, descriindu-i plastic tr?s?turile prin intermediul a numeroase exemple, ajut?ndu-te s? ?n?elegi persoana cu borderline de l?ng? tine ?i s? creezi pun?i c?tre ea.Cea mai important? parte a oric?rei terapii este rela?ia dintre pacient ?i terapeut. Aceast? interac?iune formeaz? baza ?ncrederii, constan?ei obiectului ?i a intimit??ii emo?ionale. Terapeutul trebuie s? devin? o figur? de ?ncredere, o oglind? care s? reflecte o identitate coerent? ?n dezvoltare. Pornind de la aceast? rela?ie, persoana borderline ?nva?? s? extind? ?i asupra altora a?tept?rile adecvate ?i ?ncrederea. – Jerold Kreisman, Hal StrausAspectul fizic al lui Jennifer la ?edin?ele de terapie fluctua dramatic. C?nd venea direct de la serviciu era ?mbr?cat? ?ntr-o ?inut? business, eman?nd maturitate ?i rafinament. Dar ?n zilele ei libere, ap?rea ?n pantaloni scur?i, cu ?osete p?n? la genunchi ?i cu codi?e ?mpletite; ?n aceste ?edin?e se comporta ca o feti?? cu voce sub?ire ?i vocabular mult mai limitat. Uneori se transforma chiar sub ochii doctorului Gray. Putea fi plin? de intui?ie ?i inteligent?, colabor?nd pentru ob?inerea unei mai bune ?n?elegeri de sine, iar apoi devenea o copil? cochet? ?i seduc?toare, declar?ndu-se incapabil? s? func?ioneze ?n lumea adult?. – Jerold Kreisman, Hal Straus

Stiinta si misterele OZN arunca o privire cuprinzatoare asupra datelor stiintifice legate de fenomenul farfuriilor zburatoare. Stanton T. Friedman conferentiar si specialist in fizica nucleara si-a sintetizat cei 40 de ani de cercetari despre OZN-uri intr-o carte ce prezinta o varietate impresionanta de sisteme spatiale si de sisteme nucleare avansate secrete. El raspunde la o serie de intrebari de fizica intr-un limbaj accesibil si nespecialistilor si ajunge la concluzia ca zborul interstelar este posibil fara a incalca legile fizicii. Cartea aduna informatii socante din mai multe studii de anvergura dedicate fenomenului OZN care n-au fost suficient dezbatute de-a lungul timpului. Pune mereu intrebarea ?de ce : de ce guvernul musamalizeaza unele informatii de ce extraterestrii vin pe Pamant si de ce nu aleg sa aterizeze direct pe gazonul de la Casa Alba. Friedman dezvaluie informatii despre programul SETI si aminteste de aversiunea scriitorilor de science-fiction fata de OZN-uri. De asemenea vorbeste despre ideile preconcepute fata de cei care cred in extraterestri si e de parere ca fenomenul OZN ar trebui sustinut cu mai multa convingere de mass-media si de comunitatea stiintifica.

Administra?ia Na?ional? pentru Aeronautic? ?i Spa?iu (NASA) a fost ?nfiin?at? pe 29 iulie 1958. ?nc? din primele zile, aceasta s-a aflat ?n avangarda eforturilor de explorare a spa?iului cosmic, iar rezultatele acestora s-au v?zut ?n misiunile selenare Apollo, ?n sta?ia spa?ial?

n ultimele secole, omenirea a evoluat spectaculos la nivel intelectul i tehnic. Numai c, n planul dezvoltrii emoionale, a rmas cu multe veacuri n urm, susine Fromm. Cum se explic i cum poate fi soluionat acest decalaj socio-istoric dintre minte i inim Fcnd apel la date din istorie, psihologie social i psihanaliz, prezentul volum descrie modul n care destrmarea lumii medievale, cu ierarhiile sale stabile i securizante, a adus lumii occidentale moderne un confort material i o democratizare nesperate, ns cu preul unei anxieti venite din izolarea social, din dezrdcinare. n acest context, fuga de libertate" devine o fals soluie la alienare, prin care omul zilelor noastre e tentat s-i cedeze libertatea unor regimuri autoritariste, care, dei l transform ntr-o marionet, i ofer un sentiment de apartenen i de siguran. Ca antidot la nregimentare i extremism, Fromm mizeaz pe contientizarea resorturilor existenei noastre sociale, proces care ne poate face mai maturi la nivel afectiv i mai autonomi n gndire. Fuga de libertate apare atunci cnd eul se dovedete prea slab - sau prea slbit - pentru a-i mai asuma rspunderea propriilor alegeri, renunnd ca atare la puterea de decizie. Fromm vede n aceast capitulare o trstur inaugural pentru ceea ce el numete caracter autoritar sau sado-masochist. -- Dorin Liviu Btfoi - Romnia literarNumai dac omul va stpni societatea i va subordona angrenajul economic scopurilor fericirii umane, i numai dac va participa activ la procesul social, va putea s nving ceea ce l duce acum la disperare — singurtatea lui i sentimentul de neputin. - Erich Fromm

Cum am putea ?n?elege sensibilitatea crescut?, irascibilitatea, vulnerabilitatea, sugestibilitatea, egoismul, apeten?a pentru fantastic, ?nstr?inarea de realitate, dorin?a de a domina, r?utatea, bun?tatea care duce p?n? la sacrificiu, cochet?ria, la?itatea ?i frica unor oameni pe care ?i ?nt?lnim ?n cabinet sau ?n via?a de zi cu zi???n cartea de fa??, Alfred Adler ne ofer? un r?spuns: din sentimentul de inferioritate din copil?rie se na?te o intens? dorin?? de putere care ajunge ?n cele din urm? s? fie limitat? ?i s? se piard? sub presiunea cerin?elor societ??ii ?i a semnalelor lansate de c?tre sentimentul social. Astfel, ?ntregul tablou al nevrozei ?i toate simptomele acesteia sunt influen?ate, ba chiar determinate, de un iluzoriu scop final care ar aduce cre?terea stimei de sine.

Ea ?i el... c?nd sunt ?mpreun? iese cu sc?ntei, c?nd sunt desp?r?i?i, se caut? unul pe cel?lalt. Ce ?i deosebe?te? Ce transmite ea ?i ce transmite el, prin postura corpului, mimic?, voce, comportament? De unde vin toate aceste diferen?e, ne-am n?scut cu ele sau le-am ?nv??at pe parcursul vie?ii? Sunt ?ntreb?ri care ne intrig?, care ne macin? uneori, atunci c?nd iubitul sau iubita pare s? nu ?n?eleag? ce dorim sau c?nd, ?n situa?iile sociale, suntem minimaliza?i de cei din tab?ra sexului opus.Ba nu, ba da!?este mai mult dec?t un simplu ghid prin labirintul stilurilor diferite de comunicare ale femeilor ?i b?rba?ilor. Bazat? pe studii ?tiin?ifice, dar ?i pe exemple din via?a de zi cu zi,?Ba nu, ba da!?este cartea care ??i spune ce s? faci: unde ?i c?t trebuie s? schimbi, astfel ?nc?t ne?n?elegerile dintre tine ?i el sau dintre tine ?i ea s? ajung? de domeniul trecutului. Iar rela?iile armonioase sunt fundamentul ?mplinirii ?n cuplu ?i al succesului ?n carier?!?

B?rbatul care caut? s?-?i reg?seasc? mama ?n partenerele sale este etichetat imediat drept ?b?ie?elul mamei“. Iar despre femeia care prefer? s? umble doar cu b?rba?i mult mai ?n v?rst? se spune c? n-a reu?it s? se ?desprind? de tat?l ei“. De?i, ini?ial, complexele materne ?i paterne se dezvolt? ca un r?spuns pozitiv ?n rela?ia cu p?rin?ii, aceste leg?turi extrem de str?nse pot deveni un obstacol pentru maturizarea psihic?, mai precis pentru felul ?n care ne construim o imagine de sine, pentru rela?iile de cuplu, dar ?i pentru eficien?a ?n profesie.Format? ?n psihologie analitic?, Verena Kast descrie c?ile prin care ne putem elibera de impactul negativ al acestor complexe (materne ?i paterne), rec??tig?ndu-ne autonomia, fericirea ?i bucuria intimit??ii al?turi de cei dragi.Meritul c?r?ii este c? ofer? o descriere sistematic? a complexelor parentale (discutate ini?ial de Jung) ?i c?, spre deosebire de conota?iile patriarhale freudiene, revalorizeaz? complexul matern, asociat ?n prip? exclusiv cu o semnifica?ie negativ?.Desprinderea la timp de complexele personale materne ?i paterne este esen?ial?. Multe probleme din domeniul rela?iilor personale, dar ?i din acela al zonei politice ?in de faptul c? desprinderile necesare nu s au produs. Scopul procesului de desprindere ar fi s? ?nv???m s? sim?im propriile noastre afirma?ii —?n loc de afirma?iile mamei ?i ale tat?lui —, propriile noastre sentimente fa?? de o anumit? situa?ie, ?n locul sentimentelor care deriv? din complexe.No?iunea de ?complex“ este fundamental? ?n psihologia jungian?. Nu e de mirare c? ?n descrierea analizan?ilor revin necontenit observa?ii precum: ?El are un complex matern pozitiv“. Sau: ?Ea are un complex patern extrem de dominant“. La astfel de complexe se refer? mereu psihologia jungian?, descriind cazuri individuale sau ?ncreng?turi de cazuri; complexele materne ?i paterne ?ns? nu au fost ?nc?, dup? ?tiin?a mea, prezentate ?ntr o perspectiv? de ansamblu. Este ceea ce a? vrea s? recuperez prin aceast? carte.“
