De la primul pas f?cut ?n aceast? lume, purt?m cu noi, f?r? s? ?tim, un ?sac" de poveri ale familiei: drame nespuse, doliuri ne?ncheiate, pove?ti ru?inoase. Motiv?nd c? ?este spre binele nostru" s? nu ne vorbeasc? despre secretele de familie, p?rin?ii ?i bunicii ne condamn?, incon?tient, la a repeta ciclul de traume suferite de str?mo?i. ?n acest ghid practic de psihogenealogie, suntem ajuta?i s? punem ordine ?n ??antierul" mo?tenit de la genera?iile anterioare, s? ne asum?m familia, cu bune ?i rele, ?i s? detension?m (prin iertare, nu prin uitare) conflictele care ne b?ntuie de genera?ii. Cartea clarific? principalele no?iuni de psihogenealogie ?i ofer? instrumentele necesare (?atomul social", ?gensociograma") pentru ?mp?carea cu sine, dar ?i cu str?mo?ii.

Atunci c?nd adolescentul sufer? din dragoste, p?rin?ii lui se gr?besc s?-l aline cu replici de genul ?Nu merit? s? te nec?je?ti pentru at?ta lucru!" sau ?O s? ?nt?lne?ti persoane mult mai bune ?i mai dr?gu?e dec?t fosta ta iubire". ?n ciuda dorin?ei bine inten?ionate a p?rin?ilor de a-?i proteja adolescen?ii de orice fel de suferin?e, sindromul ?inimii fr?nte" trebuie v?zut ca un proces c?t se poate de util pentru o bun? maturizare a adolescentului, sus?ine psihopedagogul belgian Bruno Humbeeck. Suferin?a din dragoste nu e o boal? ?i nici un motiv de ru?ine. Din contr?, este un prilej pentru a ?nv??a s? iube?ti, s?-l respec?i pe cel?lalt ?i s?-?i redefine?ti identitatea. Misiunea esen?ial? a p?rin?ilor va fi aceea de a oferi un mediu sigur ?i empatic ?n care copilul s? poat? da un sens nefericirii sale, s?-?i poat? asuma ?i integra suferin?a ?n scenariul propriei cre?teri afective. L?muririle psihologice viz?nd ata?amentul, pasiunea fuzional?, a?tept?rile ?i necesitatea revizuirii propriei imagini asupra lumii pot fi extrem de folositoare ?i ?n gestionarea dramelor pasionale din cuplurile adulte.

THE NATURE OF YOGA?In this first discourse we shall concern ourselves with the gaining of a general idea of the subject of Yoga, seeking its place in nature, its own character, its object in human evolution.??THE MEANING OF THE UNIVERSE:?Let us, first of all, ask ourselves, looking at the world around us, what it is that the history of the world signifies. When we read history, what does the history tell us? It seems to be a moving panorama of people and events, but it is really only a dance of shadows; the people are shadows, not realities, the kings and statesmen, the ministers and armies; and the events the battles and revolutions, the rises and falls of states ??are the most shad-owlike dance of all. Even if the historian tries to go deeper, if he deals with economic conditions, with social organisations, with the study of the tendencies of the currents of thought, even then he is in the midst of shadows, the illusory shadows cast by unseen realities. This world is full of forms that are illusory, and the values are all wrong, the proportions are out of focus. The things which a man of the world thinks valuable, a spiritual man must cast aside as worthless. ??The diamonds of the world, with their glare and glitter in the rays of the outside sun, are mere fragments of broken glass to the man of knowledge. The crown of the king, the sceptre of the emperor, the triumph of earthly power, are less than nothing to the man who has had one glimpse of the majesty of the Self. ??What is, then, real? What is truly valuable? Our answer will be very different from the answer given by the man of the world.??"The universe exists for the sake of the Self." Not for what the outer world can give, not for control over the objects of desire, not for the sake even of beauty or pleasure, does the Great Architect plan and build His worlds. He has filled them with objects, beautiful and pleasure-giving. The great arch of the sky above, the mountains with snow-clad peaks, the valleys soft with verdure and fragrant with blossoms, the oceans with their vast depths, their surface now calm as a lake, now tossing in fury, they all exist, not for the objects themselves, but for their value to the Self. Not for themselves because they are anything in themselves but that the purpose of the Self may be served, and His manifestations made possible.

It was the third week in September when the Fairfields left the seashore and returned to their Vernondale home.??“Now, my child,” said Mr. Fairfield, as they sat on the veranda after dinner, “I will unfold to you my plans for the coming winter, and you may accept, or reject, or amend them as you please.”??“Proceed,” said Patty, settling herself comfortably in her wicker chair; “I feel in an amiable mood this evening, and will probably agree to anything you may suggest.”??“I’ve been thinking for some time,” went on her father, “that I don’t want to spend the coming winter in Vernondale. I would much rather be in New York.”??“Reason number one—Nan,” said Patty, checking it off on her forefinger and smiling at her father.?“Yes,” he responded, with an answering smile, “she is reason number one, but there are others.”?To readers who are unfamiliar with Patty’s earlier history we may say right here that her mother had died when Patty was but three years old. ??At present she lived with her father in their little home in Vernondale, an establishment of which Patty greatly prided herself on her management.?Recently Mr. Fairfield had become engaged to Miss Nan Allen, a young lady who lived in Philadelphia, and who was a dear friend of Patty’s.

Alexandre Dumas

The Count of Monte Cristo (French: Le Comte de Monte-Cristo) is an adventure novel by Alexandre Dumas, père. It is often considered, along with The Three Musketeers, as Dumas' most popular work. It is also among the highest selling books of all time. The writing of the work was completed in 1844. Like many of his novels, it is expanded from the plot outlines suggested by his collaborating ghostwriter Auguste Maquet. The story takes place in France, Italy, islands in the Mediterranean and the Levant during the historical events of 1815–1838 (from just before the Hundred Days through the reign of Louis-Philippe of France). The historical setting is a fundamental element of the book. It is primarily concerned with themes of hope, justice, vengeance, mercy, forgiveness and death, and is told in the style of an adventure story.

Kilogramele ?n plus: avantaje ?i dezavantaje Descoperi?i ?tiin?a din spatele paradoxului obezit??ii ?i modul ?n care pute?i ob?ine s?n?tatea maxim?, mai degrab? dec?t greutatea minim?! Nu trece nicio zi f?r? s? ne g?ndim la ?gr?sime”. Suntem asalta?i de mesaje care ne avertizeaz? c? tr?im ?ntr-o societate ?n care mai mult de dou? treimi dintre indivizi sunt supraponderali sau obezi. C?r?ile, revistele ?i articolele online ne ?nva?? cum s? sc?p?m de kilogramele ?n plus ca s? ne bucur?m de o s?n?tate mai bun?. Produsele alimentare sunt promovate prin sublinierea con?inutului caloric redus. Nu e de mirare c? cei mai mul?i dintre noi credeau c? longevitatea depinde de men?inerea unui indice de mas? corporal? normal. P?n? la apari?ia acestei lucr?ri revolu?ionare... Cu ajutorul bestsellerului ?Paradoxul obezit??ii” ve?i descoperi c? pute?i fi ?n acela?i timp gras, ?ntr-o form? bun? ?i foarte s?n?tos. Aceast? teorie este sus?inut? de rezultatele uimitoare ale cercet?rilor efectuate ?n ultimii 10 ani: persoanele supraponderale ?i chiar moderat obeze cu anumite boli cronice – boli de inim? sau cancer – tr?iesc adeseori mai mult ?i au o via?? mai bun? dec?t persoanele cu greutate normal? care se confrunt? cu acelea?i afec?iuni. Cardiologul Carl Lavie ne explic? de ce avem nevoie de gr?sime, cum contribuie la procesele vie?ii ?i care este modalitatea prin care ne ofer? combustibil suplimentar ?n lupta cu boala. Ne sunt dezv?luite ?i motivele pentru care unele persoane care par slabe ?i cu un fizic de invidiat pot suferi totu?i de afec?iuni metabolice, cum ar fi diabetul zaharat de tip 2 – a?a-numitul ?paradox al suple?ei”. Am ajuns at?t de preocupa?i de obezitate, folosind-o ca argument pentru a ?ncadra problemele de s?n?tate, ?nc?t trecem cu vederea alte cauze posibile ale bolii. Informa?iile inovatoare din aceast? carte le vor schimba viziunea despre gr?sime ?i ce ?nseamn? s? fii s?n?tos at?t celor care ?ncearc? s? nu se ?mboln?veasc?, c?t ?i bolnavilor care tr?iesc cu o afec?iune de durat?. Ea se adreseaz? ?n egal? m?sur? celor tineri ?i supli, ci ?i persoanelor mai ?n v?rst? care se lupt? cu acele ?nc?p???nate kilograme ?n plus. Este o carte pentru oamenii care se consider? ?n form?, dar ?i pentru cei care prefer? un stil de via?? mai sedentar.

Romanul e captivant, bine scris, n ciuda unor efuziuni retorice prea lungi pe alocuri, care puteau fi scurtate. Un text elaborat de ctre un crturar, cu lecturi din Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Jung sau Dostoievski fcute n profunzime, temeinic. n consecin, e un roman n care simbolurile apar la tot pasul, incifrate n text, n tehnica unui modernism hermeneutic care nu poate fi scos din ecuaie (…). Strict tehnic, ne aflm n faa unui Bildungsroman construit pe un scenariu clasic, de iniiere: tnrul Matei (toate numele sunt luate din Biblie…) interiorizeaz sfietor, dramatic moartea prematur a tatlui su, David, pierdut ntr-un accident de main pe Valea Oltului, se afl n conflict deschis cu mama sa, Riri, femeie pragmatic, dar intrat n faza unui deficit de cldura uman, mascat prin nervozitate, i i fixeaz ntreaga afeciune pe fiina compensativ a bunicului, Grig, mort i el spre sfritul romanului, i pe aceea a profesorului universitar Semion Ruda, stilat, elevat, aristorcatic, un concitadin de ocazie i tat-surogat, cruia, n cele din urm, protagonistul romanului i datoreaz relansarea intelectuala – viitor student n filosofie – i formarea literar, ca romancier, talentul compensativ al scrisului descoperindu-i-l oarecum fr premeditare sau ndemnuri din afar, ca pe o efervescen intern a propriei sale fiine. (tefan Borbély)Viaa cotidian este transferat n interioritate, iar tensiunile generatoare de suspans sunt direcionate ctre aceeai nevoie urgent de a deveni. Eroii Aurei Christi sunt fpturi aflate ntre lumi, ntre vrste, ntre maluri. (Irina Ciobotaru)Intenia vdit a autoarei este aceea de a explora personajele pn n adncul firii lor, astfel nct nu aciunea s stea n prim-plan, ci caracterele. (Bogdan Mihai Dasclu)

Cartea se recomand? de la sine at?t cititorului profesionist, care g?se?te aici o serie de date altfel greu accesibile, c?t ?i celui interesat de istoria ?i cultura Europei ?n ansamblu. Dup? cum anun?? ?i subtitlul, lucrarea reconstituie o istorie cultural? a secolului al XIX-lea, realiz?nd, ?n fapt, o fresc? a uneia dintre cele mai captivante perioade din istoria Rusiei, cea imperial?. Datele prezentate acoper? practic toate Aspectele vie?ii politice, sociale, economice ?i culturale ale acestui interval de timp, marcat at?t de aura ?arilor, c?t ?i de nenum?ratele revolte populare. Tabloul evenimentelor majore este ?ntregit cu minu?ioase inventare de titluri nobiliare, cu date economice consemnate cu acribie, cu o expunere vie a panoramei cutumelor sociale, familiale ?i religioase, merg?nd de la modalit??ile de confec?ionare a juc?riilor sau a bijuteriilor p?n? la istorii ale ceaiului sau vodcii. Atmosfera epocii cap?t? un contur des?v?r?it prin citarea unor fragmente din lucr?ri ?tiin?ifice de referin??, din jurnalele de c?l?torie ?i din publicistica vremii, dar ?i din operele marilor scriitori ai vremii, ca Dostoievski, Gogol ?i Tolstoi. Se contureaz?, astfel, o imagine neconven?ional? a Rusiei, o na?iune confruntat? permanent cu tensiunea unei alegeri fundamentale, care pune ?n opozi?ie modelul str?in ?i inegalabila for?? intern?. Autoarei ?i revine meritul de a fi surprins aspectele esen?iale ale acestei tensiuni, cu ample ecouri ?n perioadamodern? ?i cu evidente efecte asupra mentalit??ii contemporane.

Un fast spectacol despre feminitate, moarte ?i alte teme eterne, ne ofer? de ast? dat? redutabilul eseist, istoric ?i critic literar Irina Petra?, despre care Marin Mincu scria c? este ?cel mai “b?rbat“ critic al nostru“. ?Demersul constituie o modalitate de a-?i apropia moartea, propria moarte, de a o studia sub lupa m?ritoare, de a o ?ine deliberat, zi de zi, ceas de ceas, al?turi, ?n imediata proximitate, pentru a te impulsiona s? fii c?t mai mult, c?t mai decis ?n spirit, pentru a te determina s? te investe?ti ?n toate cu ?ntreaga-?i fiin??, una dintre limitele c?reia e moartea-cea-cotidian?, pentru a te remodela, sim?ind atingerea botului mor?ii, pentru a recurge la travaliul dep??irii de sine prin crea?ie.

Cei ce-au rezistat constituie pentru Irina Petra? un fast obiect de studiu, care, fiind cercetat cu acribia unui colec?ionar, nelipsit de o redutabil? experien?? ?n domeniu, alc?tuiesc o galerie acoperit? cu oglinzi, ?n care, v?z?nd reflectat propriul univers, propriile spaime, frici, angoase, nelini?ti, autorul se supune, el ?nsu?i, din spirit de fair play, dar ?i dintr-un subtil, rafinat amestec de sado-masochism intelectual, unui examen: ?i va rezista co?ul pieptului? va ?ti sa r?spund?? dar s? reziste?

Los trabajos de Persiles y Sigismunda es la última obra de Miguel de Cervantes. Pertenece al subgénero de la novela bizantina. El propio autor la consideró su mejor obra; sin embargo la crítica da este título unánimemente a Don Quijote de la Mancha. En ella escribió la dedicatoria al Conde de Lemos el 19 de abril de 1616, cuatro días antes de morir, donde se despide de la vida citando estos versos: Puesto ya el pie en el estribo, con las ansias de la muerte, gran se?or, esta te escribo.

The Canterville Ghost
Oscar Wilde
¥8.82
The Canterville Ghost is a popular 1887 novella by Oscar Wilde, widely adapted for the screen and stage. “The Canterville Ghost” is a parody featuring a dramatic spirit named Sir Simon and the United States minister (ambassador) to the Court of St. James's, Hiram B. Otis. Mr. Otis travels to England with his family and moves into a haunted country house. Lord Canterville, the previous owner of the house, warns Mr. Otis that the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville has haunted it ever since he killed his wife, Eleonore, three centuries before. But Mr. Otis dismisses the ghost story as bunk and disregards Lord Canterville’s warnings. When the Otises learn that the house is indeed haunted, they succeed in victimizing the ghost and in disregarding age-old British traditions. What emerges is a satire of American materialism, a lampoon of traditional British values, and an amusing twist on the traditional gothic horror tale.

ALEXANDER the Great died when he was quite young. He was but thirty-two years of age when he ended his career, and as he was about twenty when he commenced it, it was only for a period of twelve years that he was actually engaged in performing the work of his life. Napoleon was nearly three times as long on the great field of human action.??Notwithstanding the briefness of Alexander's career, he ran through, during that short period, a very brilliant series of exploits, which were so bold, so romantic, and which led him into such adventures in scenes of the greatest magnificence and splendor, that all the world looked on with astonishment then, and mankind have continued to read the story since, from age to age, with the greatest interest and attention.??The secret of Alexander's success was his character. He possessed a certain combination of mental and per-sonal attractions, which in every age gives to those who exhibit it a mysterious and almost unbounded ascendency over all within their influence. Alexander was characterized by these qualities in a very remarkable degree. He was finely formed in person, and very prepossessing in his manners. He was active, athletic, and full of ardor and enthusiasm in all that he did.
