Exist? numeroase idei preconcepute cu privire la psihanaliz? – c? este opera unui singur om, Sigmund Freud, ?i se practic? la fel ca acum un secol, psihanaliza este preocupat? doar de sexualitate, s-a demodat, c? este un fel de cult ezoteric ?n care trebuie s? fii ini?iat, ?i lista ar putea continua. ?n lucrarea de fa?? autorii prezint? ideile centrale ale celor mai reprezentativi psihanali?ti contemporani, oferind at?t o perspectiv? istoric? asupra ideilor psihanalitice, c?t ?i o compara?ie ?ntre diferitele curente. Plec?nd de la presupozi?ia c? cititorul nu este deloc familiarizat cu aceste teme, cartea ofer? o introducere ?n diferitele ?coli teoretice, explic?nd aspectele clinice la care acestea au fost receptive ?i c?teva dintre conceptele lor de baz?, precum ?i ilustr?ri clinice ale suferin?elor umane pe care aceste curente teoretice ?ncearc? s? le clarifice. Astfel, cititorul reu?e?te s? ?ntrevad? fragmentul de experien?? uman? ascuns ?n spatele conceptelor psihanalitice. Formul?rile ?n termeni psihanalitici devin formul?ri despre oameni reali, despre modul lor de a??i organiza experien?ele, despre dificult??ile pe care le ?nt?mpin? ?n via??.

Numeroase descoperiri arheologice, aparent misterioase, i multe indicii din scrierile strvechi ale omenirii l-au determinat pe Erich von Dniken s porneasc n cutarea unor explicaii pentru misterele neelucidate ale trecutului. Concluziile uimitoare la care ajunge autorul ne-ar putea convinge s ne revizuim imaginea despre istoria timpurie a Pmntului. Ele deschid deopotriv perspective noi asupra progresului tehnicii de azi i de mine.“ Cu aceste cuvinte era anunat, n 1968, apariia crii de fa, care a declanat, prin concluziile sale surprinztoare, ce nu se limitau la arheologie, un val de indignare n rndurile oamenilor de tiin, dar, pe de alt parte, i un viu entuziasm n rndul publicului larg.Erich von Dniken a susinut c Pmntul a fost vizitat n timpuri strvechi de ctre fiine inteligente extraterestre, i c acestea au creat de fapt homo sapiens. Chiar dac i-a argumentat teza prin cercetri ntreprinse cu rigurozitate n lumea ntreag, ea a ramas destul de controversat. Totui, succesul enorm al crii sale a demonstrat c subiectul abordat este unul de mare interes. n decurs de doi ani, cartea a atins numai n Germania un tiraj de peste cinci sute de mii de exemplare.Cercetrile i descoperirile lui Erich von Dniken nasc i astzi discuii aprinse. Numrul adepilor si crete de la an la an. Din acest motiv, am considerat oportun reeditarea n limba romn, ntr-o traducere nou i necenzurat, a crii sale de debut, care nu a pierdut nimic din caracterul exploziv, incitant i senzaional, att n privina limbajului, ct i a coninutului. n prefaa nou a crii, Erich von Dniken analizeaz reaciile pro i contra strnite de tezele sale, pe care le reexamineaz n contextul cunotinelor recent dobndite.

Acum, von D?niken exploreaz? misterele Greciei Antice!Cercet?rile exhaustive ale celebrului autor al unor bestselleruri precum Amintiri despre viitor ?i Amurgul zeilor sugereaz? c? ?zeii“ din mitologia greac? au fost de fapt extratere?tri care au sosit pe P?m?nt cu mii de ani ?n urm?. Dovezile arheologice ?i scrierile din antichitate, apar?in?nd unor autori precum Aristotel sau Platon, arat? c? ace?ti zei s-au ?ncruci?at cu oamenii, au efectuat experimente genetice ?i au creat f?pturi ?mitice“, cum ar fi centaurii ?i ciclopii. Pentru to?i cei interesa?i de Grecia, de ?nt?lnirile cu extratere?trii sau de istoria nerostit? a civiliza?iei, Odiseea zeilor constituie o interpretare fascinant? ?i revolu?ionar? a siturilor ?i legendelor Greciei antice.Istoria contactelor extraterestre din Grecia Antic?De peste patru decenii, Erich von D?niken scrie ?i vorbe?te sus?in?ndu-?i ideea conform c?reia oamenii ?i extratere?trii ?i-au ?ncruci?at drumurile ?n trecutul ?ndep?rtat.Von D?niken st?rne?te o nou? controvers? cu o supozi?ie care ne pune pe jar imagina?ia: ?i dac? miturile Greciei antice sunt de fapt tentative de a descrie evenimente reale? Dac? popoarele din antichitate au fost vizitate nu de zei ?i zei?e imaginare, ci de fiin?e extraterestre, sosite pe planeta noastr? cu mii de ani ?n urm?? Dup? ce a cercetat mitologia antic? ?i descoperirile arheologice curente, autorul a ajuns la c?teva ipoteze explozive. Astfel, el sus?ine c? explica?ia cea mai bun? pentru creaturi neobi?nuite precum centaurii ?i ciclopii, precum ?i pentru pove?tile despre continentul disp?rut al Atlantidei ?i r?zboaiele dintre zeit??i, ar putea fi expresia eforturilor depuse de arti?tii vremii pentru a consemna fenomene nemaiv?zute p?n? atunci.Concluziile lui von D?niken sunt uluitoare, dar sunt argumentate cu at?ta vigoare ?i claritate ?nc?t cititorul va fi stimulat ?i provocat s? considere implica?iile descoperirilor sale revolu?ionare pentru trecutul cosmic al omenirii.Dovezile explorate ?n cartea de fa?? sugereaz? c?:Situl oracular de la Delphi era de fapt o sta?ie de alimentare a aeronavelor;?L?na de aur“ pe care o c?uta Iason era de fapt o component? esen?ial? a unei nave aeriene;Troia ?i Atlantida au fost una ?i aceea?i cetate, distrus? ?n urma unui r?zboi nimicitor ?ntre extratere?tri ?i descenden?ii acestora;Ceea ce noi consider?m acum c? ar fi ?mitologie greac?“ este de fapt istorie;Legenda Atlantidei are o explica?ie nou? ?i surprinz?toare.

Fiica mea, care prezenta toate semnele unei faze incipiente de autism, duce acum o viata normala pentru ca am stiut exact ce sa fac: sa ignor toate predictiile sumbre si s-o angrenez in tehnicile descrise in aceasta carte, care transforma principiul iubirii neconditionate intr-un plan practic si usor de aplicat.“ - Dr. Wayne W.

ntr-o cultur mercantil i narcisic, puini mai reuesc s triasc o iubire mplinit i autentic, stabil i satisfctoare. i aceasta, pentru c uitm adesea c iubirea, ca orice fel de art“, are nevoie de exerciiu i rbdare, de concentrare i determinare. n aceast carte clasic, Fromm exploreaz diversele chipuri ale iubirii, ncepnd cu forma ei romantic (adesea greit neleas), continund cu dragostea fratern i cea erotic i ncheind cu iubirea de sine i de Dumnezeu, precum i cu dragostea pentru prini i copii. Scris cu jumtate de secol n urm, acest ghid al ndrgostitului rtcit este mai actual ca oricnd, oferind, ntr-un limbaj limpede, ci spre un plus de intimitate, de pasiune i de rezonan afectiv. Lecia lui Fromm este c iubirea ncepe prin a oferi ceva celui drag (bucurie, nelegere, umor, curiozitate sau chiar tristee), prin a drui toate expresiile a ceea ce este viu n noi“.n anii 1970, am fost adeseori martor al felului deosebit n care Fromm i exprima iubirea. O simeam n felul n care ncepea o conversaie cu cineva. i, mai presus de toate, o simeam n felul n care se raporta la soia lui, Annis: cnd o sruta n lift, cnd i lua rmas bun, cnd o privea i o atingea. Capacitatea lui Fromm de a drui iubire poate fi resimit chiar i azi de cei care citesc Arta de a iubi.“ – Rainer Funk, psihanalist i fost asistent al lui E. FrommIubirea nu este n primul rnd o relaie cu o anumit persoan. Ea este o atitudine, o orientare a caracterului care determin relaionarea unei persoane cu lumea ca ntreg i nu doar cu un unic obiect al iubirii. Dac cineva iubete doar o alt persoan i este indiferent fa de restul semenilor si, iubirea sa nu este iubire, ci ataament simbiotic sau autocentrare amplificat.“ – Erich Fromm

The Gentlemen’s Book Of Etiquette
¥8.09
Ever wondered what to do in polite society if you find an insect in your food? Or how a gentleman should ask a lady to dance? And what on earth is the etiquette for smoking cigars? First published in 1860, Cecil B. Hartley's classic guide to gentlemanly behaviour is a veritable mine of information and indispensable advice for aspiring gentlemen. No matter if a man finds himself at a party, meeting someone new or travelling abroad, he has but to leaf through this book to learn how best to behave, and indeed how not to behave. And if he can find time between his numerous invitations to balls and hunting parties, he could benefit from a perusal of the sections on gentlemanly deportment and conversational technique. Not forgetting, of course, the all-important advice on how to treat ladies, surely an integral part of any true gentleman's training. Published here in a stunning edition alongside The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, this is the perfect gift for the would-be gentleman in your life. While it's an excellent volume for dipping into for hilarious nuggets of outdated advice, this guide also contains advice on all manner of topics, from beard-keeping to chivalry, that are just as relevant today as they were in Cecil B. Hartley's time. As he says himself: 'Once a gentleman always a gentleman' and be sure that you can so carry out the rule, that in your most careless, joyous moments, when freest from the restraints of etiquette, you can still be recognizable as a gentleman by every act, word, or look.
