Once upon a time there was a king and a queen, who were very sorry that they had no children, so sorry that it cannot be told. At last, however, the Queen had a daughter. There was a very fine christening; and the Princess had for her godmothers all the fairies they could find in the whole kingdom (there were seven of them), so that every one of them might confer a gift upon her, as was the custom of fairies in those days. By this means the Princess had all the perfections imaginable.

Educators and Administrators Praise Alphabet Meditations for Teachers "Alphabet Meditations for Teachers is a most needed antidote to the toxic side effects of our accumulated reactions to institutional rigidity and regimentation; to models of efficiency that privilege technocratic instruction over meaningful and organic teaching and learning."--Caroline Eick, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Education Department, Mount St. Mary's University, Emmitsburg, MD "Alphabet Meditations for Teachers tugs at the heart strings of all teachers who yearn for wisdom in seeking the answers to those struggles and frustrations faced by our profession. Nestled in the honest questioning and prayers are answers for teachers regarding the spiritual power of teaching and the magnificent ignition of discovery, laughter, and true community in our classrooms." --Sherry Henderson, Principal, Trinity Episcopal School, Marshall, TXAbout the Author A native of southwest Oklahoma, Nancy Oelklaus began her career as a high school English teacher in Marshall, Texas.

In 1993, tragic turbulence takes over Ukraine in the post-communist spin-off. As if in somnambulism, Soviet war veterans and upstart businessmen listen to an American preacher of whose type there were plenty at the time in the post-Soviet territory. In Kharkiv, the young communist headquarters is now an advertising agency, and a youth radio station brings Western music, with Depeche Mode in the lead, into homes of ordinary people. In the middle of this craze three friends, an anti-Semitic Jew Dogg Pavlov, an unfortunate entrepreneur Vasia the Communist and the narrator Zhadan, nineteen years of age and unemployed, seek to find their old pal Sasha Carburetor to tell him that his step-father shot himself dead. Characters confront elements of their reality, and, tainted with traumatic survival fever, embark on a sad, dramatic and a bit grotesque adventure.

Once upon a time, long, long ago, there were two brothers, the one rich and the other poor. When Christmas Eve came, the poor one had not a bite in the house, either of meat or bread; so he went to his brother, and begged him, in God’s name, to give him something for Christmas Day. It was by no means the first time that the brother had been forced to give something to him...

C?nd ne compar?m prea des cu ceilal?i, c?nd suntem ?nseta?i de posesii ?i faim?, ?n?ep?tura invidiei sau mu?c?tura geloziei ne va ?ncerca inevitabil. ?i, cum tinde s? neg?m sau s? proiect?m asupra altora aceste sentimente, ele nu vor disp?rea, ci ne vor "roade" pe din?untru, diminu?ndu-ne stima de sine. Reputata psihoterapeut? jungian? Verena Kast demonstreaz? ?n ce fel, atunci c?nd ne min?im ?i refuz?m s? admitem aceste sentimente negative, pierdem ?ansa dezvolt?rii personale ?i ne cufund?m ?n ranchiun? sau ?n false ra?ionaliz?ri ale neputin?elor noastre. Devenind, ?n schimb, con?tien?i de invidia ?i gelozia ce ne pot b?ntui uneori, vom g?si c?ile spre a st?p?ni aceste sentimente: fie ne vom angaja ?ntr-o competi?ie constructiv?, fie ne vom asuma anumite limite ?i ne vom descoperi noi poten?ialit??i, prin care s? ne diferen?iem de ceilal?i. Odat? elibera?i de sindromul "caprei vecinului", ni se va deschide calea s?n?toas? spre noi rela?ii, spre solidaritate, spre "a fi" ?n loc de "a avea".

Nebunia fascineaz? ?i ?ngroze?te ?n aceea?i m?sur?, oferindu-ne imaginea unui celuilalt complet diferit de noi. Dar ce marcheaz? diferen?a dintre omul s?n?tos ?i omul nebun? Poate deveni vreodat? un om s?n?tos, nebun?C?ut?nd s? p?trund? dincolo de suprafa??, dincolo de aparentele bizarerii de comportament ale nebunului, Darian Leader ofer? simptomelor o nou? semnifica?ie, capabil? s? zguduie din temelii paradigma contemporan? asupra bolii psihice. Teoria sa, prezentat? ?ntr-un limbaj accesibil cititorului profan, este exemplificat? prin reinterpretarea unor celebre cazuri clinice sau judiciare, precum Omul cu lupi. Ce este nebunia? se adreseaz? deopotriv? speciali?tilor ?i publicului larg, reu?ind s? dea r?spunsuri dar ?i s? lanseze ?ntreb?ri.Ce ne facem cu insul care-?i vede lini?tit de via?? ?i de familie, ani de-a r?ndul, p?n? ?ntr-o bun? zi c?nd se duce la slujb?, ??i face impecabil datoria, dup? care iese ?ntr-un loc public, scoate o arm? ?i ?mpu?c? un personaj cunoscut de toat? lumea? ?n comportamentul lui nu se poate observa nimic anormal, p?n? ?n clipa tragediei. Se prea poate s? fi fost chiar un cet??ean-model, responsabil, respectabil ?i cu un comportament lini?tit. Dar, ?n clipele dinaintea actului s?u criminal, chiar se poate spune c? n-ar fi fost nebun? – Darian Leader... nebunia nu va fi niciodat? reductibil? la simptome exterioare, care atrag aten?ia. G?ndirea nu este v?zut? aici ca tulburat?, ci urm?nd un gen de rigoare care, de fapt ?i de drept, s-ar putea s? nu fie de g?sit la individul ?s?n?tos". Diagnosticul nu se poate pune pe baza unei clasific?ri a comportamentului exterior, ci numai ascult?nd ce are de spus persoana ?n cauz? despre ce s-a ?nt?mplat ?n via?a ei, lu?nd ?n serios pozi?ia pe care o adopt? ?n propriul discurs, logica pe care ?i-a construit-o singur?. - Darian Leader

Looking back to those days of old, ere the gate shut behind me, I can see now that to children with a proper equipment of parents these things would have worn a different aspect. But to those whose nearest were aunts and uncles, a special attitude of mind may be allowed. They treated us, indeed, with kindness enough as to the needs of the flesh, but after that with indifference (an indifference, as I recognise, the result of a certain stupidity), and therewith the commonplace conviction that your child is merely animal. At a very early age I remember realising in a quite impersonal and kindly way the existence of that stupidity, and its tremendous influence in the world; while there grew up in me, as in the parallel case of Caliban upon Setebos, a vague sense of a ruling power, wilful and freakish, and prone to the practice of vagaries--"just choosing so:" as, for instance, the giving of authority over us to these hopeless and incapable creatures, when it might far more reasonably have been given to ourselves over them. These elders, our betters by a trick of chance, commanded no respect, but only a certain blend of envy--of their good luck--and pity--for their inability to make use of it. Indeed, it was one of the most hopeless features in their character (when we troubled ourselves to waste a thought on them: which wasn't often) that, having absolute licence to indulge in the pleasures of life, they could get no good of it. They might dabble in the pond all day, hunt the chickens, climb trees in the most uncompromising Sunday clothes; they were free to issue forth and buy gunpowder in the full eye of the sun--free to fire cannons and explode mines on the lawn: yet they never did any one of these things. No irresistible Energy haled them to church o' Sundays; yet they went there regularly of their own accord, though they betrayed no greater delight in the experience than ourselves. On the whole, the existence of these Olympians seemed to be entirely void of interests, even as their movements were confined and slow, and their habits stereotyped and senseless. To anything but appearances they were blind. For them the orchard (a place elf-haunted, wonderful!) simply produced so many apples and cherries: or it didn't, when the failures of Nature were not infrequently ascribed to us. They never set foot within fir-wood or hazel-copse, nor dreamt of the marvels hid therein. The mysterious sources--sources as of old Nile--that fed the duck-pond had no magic for them. They were unaware of Indians, nor recked they anything of bisons or of pirates (with pistols!), though the whole place swarmed with such portents. They cared not about exploring for robbers' caves, nor digging for hidden treasure. Perhaps, indeed, it was one of their best qualities that they spent the greater part of their time stuffily indoors. To be sure, there was an exception in the curate, who would receive unblenching the information that the meadow beyond the orchard was a prairie studded with herds of buffalo, which it was our delight, moccasined and tomahawked, to ride down with those whoops that announce the scenting of blood. He neither laughed nor sneered, as the Olympians would have done; but possessed of a serious idiosyncrasy, he would contribute such lots of valuable suggestion as to the pursuit of this particular sort of big game that, as it seemed to us, his mature age and eminent position could scarce have been attained without a practical knowledge of the creature in its native lair. Then, too, he was always ready to constitute himself a hostile army or a band of marauding Indians on the shortest possible notice: in brief, a distinctly able man, with talents, so far as we could judge, immensely above the majority. I trust he is a bishop by this time,--he had all the necessary qualifications, as we knew.These strange folk had visitors sometimes,--stiff and colourless Olympians like themselves, equally without vital interests and intelligent pursuits: emerging out of the clouds, and passing away again to drag on an aimless existence somewhere out of our ken. Then brute force was pitilessly applied. We were captured, washed, and forced into clean collars: silently submitting, as was our wont, with more contempt than anger. Anon, with unctuous hair and faces stiffened in a conventional grin, we sat and listened to the usual platitudes. How could reasonable people spend their precious time so? That was ever our wonder as we bounded forth at last--to the old clay-pit to make pots, or to hunt bears among the hazels. It was incessant matter for amazement how these Olympians would talk over our heads--during meals, for instance--of this or the other social or political inanity, under the delusion that these pale phantasms of reality were among the importances of life. We illuminati, eating silently, our heads full of plans and conspiracies, could have told them what real life was. We had just left it outside
