    <book_description><![CDATA[„Labirintul. Iubiri din alte timpuri” este o ficțiune literară îmbinată cu elemente de science fiction și fantezie, care te poartă pe cărările întortocheate ale vieții, dar și ale minții umane. Este o metaforă a creației divine privită din mai multe perspective și revelate prin experiențele conștiente sau nu, ale personajului principal Alma. <br />Într-o lume deposedată de minuni, Alma pornește pe drumul Spiritului său. Să-l descopere și să se redescopere. Indiciile pe care acesta i le plantează încă din copilărie, o ajută să înțeleagă de unde vine și ce caută în această viață. <br />Va reuși Alma să ajungă în Lumină din Labirintul ce o aruncă dintr-o dimensiune într-alta?<br /> ֎<br />„Labirintul. Iubiri din alte timpuri” este o carte plină de lumină și culoare, culori roșiatice rupte din suflet, culori albe demiurgice, culori albastre telurice... toate presărate de scânteieri aurii serafice. Parcă ne intră în vene și în inimă, umplându-ne progresiv de energie și bunătate până la ultima filă. <br />Autoarea ne delectează în acest text cu vorbe estetice, uneori umoristice, figuri de stil pline de har: „o gâdila pana minții în talpă”, „grote scorburoase ca niște guri întunecoase căscate a mirare”, „cioburi de lumină din univers”, „pașii pe asfalt se lipeau ca niște ventuze proaste cu care te chinui să tragi la țintă”, „dune și munți stâncoși se băteau pentru teritoriu”, și așa e tot textul. <br />Uneori ne incită dorința de a ne găsi în acele lumi paralele, în acele dimensiuni „care par ireal de reale”, ca în acel „ou al vieții”, unde te poți purifica, te poți liniști și poți chiar întineri.<br />		 Adina Cristea Palada<br />					 Autor]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Imaginaţia reprezintă o provocare majoră pentru Adina Cristea Palada, cea care reinventează, rescrie povești în poemele sale, hibridând pe un fundal al „deșertăciunilor” mundane liricul și epicul. Inventivitatea ei narativă este ingenios dublată de capacitatea de a forma imagini creatoare desprinse din realitate, care o depăşesc ȋnsă printr-o armonioasă prefacere. Imaginaţia are prin excelență o finalitate estetică şi atunci ea ne face întotdeauna conştienţi de faptul că viețuirea noastră aici nu se poate face decât, vorba lui Hölderlin, în chip poetic. Estetica imaginaţiei creează și scrutează, de fapt, Universuri în versuri, volumul de față pledează pentru o necesară înfrumuseţare a realului, pentru bucuria de a visa cu o plăcere aproape debordantă și de a te apropia chiar de metafizica imaginaţiei, adică, în cuvintele lui Gaston Bachelard, „să trăieşti starea de graţie a imaginaţiei”. Poemele-povești ale doamnei Palada, precum Crepuscul, Aurora, An poznaș, cârcotaș; Ieri, azi, mâine descriu imuabila serie de legi care permit omului trecerea de la visele naturale la reveriile cu putere revelatorie, intrȃnd − prin sublimare creatoare − ȋn comuniune cu nesfȃrșirea marelui univers. Ca în interesanta parabolă Tinerețe la vânzare: „Dar tot nu îmi dădeam seama de-unde-mi veni astă karma,/de-unde-am prins înțelepciunea, judecata, rațiunea…/Până când văzui alături de tejgheaua Tinerețe/o alta, complet anostă, lumea nici nu se oprea,/n-o voia, n-o căuta./Căci pe ale ei fețe un singur cuvânt era: Căruntețe”. - Conf. Univ. Dr. Livia IACOB]]></book_description>

    <user_review><![CDATA[Să-i citești poeziile Adinei înseamnă să te arunci voit într-un univers infinit de surprize, într-un spectacol inedit în care cuvintele se joacă în versuri, se încruntă unele la celelalte și fac pace în rime duioase, de multe ori neașteptate. <br /><br />De la creații ce te trec prin tristeți și regrete, prin stări de rătăcire și de durere, până la senzația de joacă a unui copil care a descoperit cel mai frumos puzzle al lumii, cu care crează imagini amuzante care stârnesc râsul pofticios al cititorului ce descoperă o poveste senzațională în câteva strofe aranjate cu tâlc pe pagină, așa cum găsim în „Psihanaliză Jungiană în dezacord”, „Oda poetului pescar” sau „Einstein și Tesla la taifas”.<br /><br />Adina abordează multe teme în poeziile celui de-al doilea volum de versuri, teme variate și vaste în sine, fiecare reprezântând un univers de combinații și descoperiri magice ce se aștern în fața sufletului cititorului, ca un meniu infinit din care-și poate alege ce să deguste. <br /><br />Timpul, de exemplu, este una dintre temele mele preferate și m-am bucurat să-l regăsesc evocat în diferite nuanțe și abordări stilistice. „Timp limitat”, „Timp expirat”, „Timp conjugat” sunt doar câteva ipostaze ale implacabilității acestei coordonate limitative a vieții umane, iar Adina se joacă magistral cu fațetele sale în fiecare dintre ele. <br /><br />Iar la final, am lăsat surpriza pe care mi-a adus-o acest volum nou de versuri al Adinei: versul alb. Deși Adina are o pasiune din a se juca cu rimele venindu-i naturală curgerea muzicalității acestora, am redescoperit partea condensată a talentului ei în poeziile cu vers alb ce se așază frumos ca niște esențe de parfum și înmiresmează întregul volum prin plasarea strategică în inima acestuia. <br /><br />„Crepuscul”, „Aurora”, „Identitate amestecată”, „Evocare” sau „Căutare” sunt doar câteva dintre acestea care mi-au atins sufletul și m-au transpus în stări profunde de înțelegere a vastității universului poetic al Adinei Cristea Palada. Așa că, vă invit să-l descoperiți și voi și vă asigur că prin aceste „Universuri în versuri”, veți descoperi și noi fațete ale propriului suflet, pe care, poate doar poezia, ni le poate revela în tăcere.]]></user_review>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Dan Petru Cristea scrie bine, are simțul umorului și o imaginație plină de nuanțe. (MARIUS MIHEȚ)<br /><br />Purtând un titlu ce sugerează ideea de frumusețe a vârstelor, dar și de efemer al acestora în zborul lor prin viață, acest roman se așază, structural, sub semnul unui bildungsroman, trimițând spre tiparul narativ din Portret al artistului la tinerețe al lui Joyce. Autorul transpune un indelebil timp alipit primelor vârste, copilăria și adolescența, până în pragul primei tinereți, cu zăbovire asupra specificului fiecăreia și utilizând amalgamul vocilor narative redate prin toate cele trei persoane ale narației. „Seria noastră de întrupări”, cum le numește naratorul, devine echivalentul unor veritabile exuvii ale vârstelor, cu marcarea unor momente decisive, portrete și descrieri încărcate de o afectivitate pregnantă, ori întâmplări memorabile redate sub paleta umorului sau cu modulații la limita dramaticului. (ȘTEFAN MELANCU)<br /><br />Dan Petru Cristea este un autor insolit din multe puncte de vedere, revelând un talent autentic, cu totul neconvențional ca formulă, precum neobișnuită este și substanța reflexivă, plină de vigoare și originală. (RODICA MARIAN)<br /><br />Un stil fastuos, când calm, când dramatic, când narativ și grandios, când colorat și poetic. Se poate vorbi despre două trăsături definitorii ale acestuia: o bogăție a vocabularului, care conduce la o bogăție a ideilor, precum și o perfectă aranjare a cuvintelor în fraze, uneori de lungimi surprinzătoare, care imprimă patos și creează sentimentul unei participări afective la lumea din jur. (CRISTINA POPESCU)<br /><br />Stăpânirea limbajului în condiții de excelență, supunerea acestuia unor anumite intenții de comunicare, nu constituie decât una din căile, ce-i drept regală, de seducere a cititorului. (MARIA CARPOV)<br /><br />Suntem în fața unui roman existențialist recrudescent, care explorează sensul și scopul existenței umane prin prisma experienței individuale și cu instrumentarul conjugat al percepției subiective, sondării psihologice și analizei filosofice. Scrisul său are funcție revelatorie și eugenetică, de descoperire și răsfrângere a identității peste marginile biografismului. (ALINA HUCAI)]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Doctrina vibratiei ne vorbeste despre invatatura uneia dintre cele mai inalte Cai spirituale pe care le-a cunoscut istoria (atat din punct de vedere metafizic, cat si din punct de vedere contemplativ), si anume śivaismul non-dualist casmirian, in particular despre scoala numita Spanda (termen tehnic ce desemneaza „freamatul datator de viata al Inimii lui Dumnezeu”).<br /><br />Mark Dyczkowski este un pionier in cercetarea limbii sanscrite, a traditiilor Indiei si, in particular, al traditiei tantrice, atat la modul academic (sub indrumarea celei mai mari autoritati in viata - prof. Alexis Sanderson), cat si din punct de vedere initiatic (sub indrumarea ultimului maestru recunoscut al liniei śivaismului casmirian, Swami Lakshmanjoo).<br /><br /><br />Sufletul inlantuit este ca o dansatoare care, desi doreste sa plece din sala de dans, este oprita de portarul gandirii si aruncata inapoi pe scena iluziei.<br /><br />Abhinavagupta<br /><br />Cu toate ca trupul si mintea yoghinului continua sa functioneze ca si mai inainte, ele sunt [acum] precum niste simple invelisuri exterioare care contin, dar nu mai intuneca, astfel, constiinta universala atotputernica, ce actioneaza prin ele.<br /><br />Corpul yoghinului este universul, simturile sunt energiile care il vitalizeaza, mintea este mantra, ritmul respiratiei sale este pulsul timpului, iar natura sa interioara este pura constiinta dinamica. Inaltat deasupra oricarei practici si, prin urmare, deasupra oricarei posibilitati de a cadea pe nivelurile inferioare, yoghinul realizeaza ca el a fost intotdeauna liber, iar calatoria sa prin tinutul iluziei (Māyā) nu a fost nimic altceva decât un vis, o constructie a propriei sale imaginatii.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[This influential 14-story collection includes some of the Nobel laureate’s most notable short fiction, including <i>“Hills Like White Elephants”</i> and <i>“Fifty Grand,”</i> which a <i>Cosmopolitan</i> editor praised as “one of the best short stories that ever came to my hands.” Read by an Earphones Award–winning narrator.<br /><br />Originally published in October 1927, the second short-story collection published by Pulitzer Prize winner and Nobel Laureate Ernest Hemingway contains the following fourteen stories: <br /><i>The Undefeated, In Another Country, Hills Like White Elephants, The Killers, Che Ti Dice La Patria?, Fifty Grand, A Simple Enquiry, Ten Indians, A Canary for One, An Alpine Idyll, A Pursuit Race, Today is Friday, Banal Story, Now I Lay Me</i>. Themes and subject matter range from bullfighting, boxing, and prizefighting to divorce, infidelity, and death. Critics at the time praised Hemingway’s concise language and powerful prose. <br /><br /><b>Content Warning:</b> As a part of the public domain, <i>Men Without Women</i> is a literary work that reflects the time in which it was published—both its good and its ill. The original text of <i>Men Without Women</i> contains slurs and depictions that represent prejudiced and harmful beliefs regarding race, ethnicity, and religion. To erase or bury this representation of inequity and prejudice would be akin to pretending it never existed, a denial that only perpetuates and extends the original harm done. Thus, in the interest of preserving and documenting both the faults and highlights of literary history—an instrumental, crucial function of works entering the public domain—this text is unedited and uncensored in this audiobook recording. Please proceed with discretion.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[BESTSELLER GAUDEAMUS 2022<br /><br />„O scriitură unică la nivel mondial.“ — Die Zeit<br /><br />„N-am scris niciodată literatură ca să public cărți, ci ca să trăiesc în ele. Fiecare carte a fost pentru mine o lume nouă și specială, o experiență nouă ca o nouă îndrăgostire sau ca o nouă călătorie (da, uneori și ca o nouă boală).<br /><br />Am trăit, scriind Theodoros, povești de dragoste, povești eroice, povești atroce, povești reale și fantastice, voluptuoase și crude, petrecute în spații geografice și epoci istorice diferite, pe care m-am amuzat să le reconstitui cu acribie, dar și cu un zâmbet ironic. M-am afundat pe cărările ce se bifurcă ale Bibliei, ale cărții sfinte etiopiene Kebra Nagast și ale Alixăndriei noastre, găsind în toate o expresivitate uimitoare și fără sfârșit. În mijlocul pandemiei, al războaielor, al depresiilor și decepțiilor zilei de azi, am avut nevoie să trăiesc o vreme în tăcerea de capelă zugrăvită cu sineală și chinovar a unei lumi care se-ntoarce mereu, ca floarea-soarelui, către singurul lucru pe care-l prețuiesc cu adevărat, frumusețea.“ — MIRCEA CĂRTĂRESCU]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[More than one million hardcovers sold<br />Now available for the first time in paperback!<br /><br />The Classic Text Annotated to Update Graham's Timeless Wisdom for Today's Market Conditions<br /><br />The greatest investment advisor of the twentieth century, Benjamin Graham taught and inspired people worldwide. Graham's philosophy of "value investing" -- which shields investors from substantial error and teaches them to develop long-term strategies -- has made <em>The Intelligent Investor</em> the stock market bible ever since its original publication in 1949.<br /><br />Over the years, market developments have proven the wisdom of Graham's strategies. While preserving the integrity of Graham's original text, this revised edition includes updated commentary by noted financial journalist Jason Zweig, whose perspective incorporates the realities of today's market, draws parallels between Graham's examples and today's financial headlines, and gives readers a more thorough understanding of how to apply Graham's principles.<br /><br />Vital and indispensable, this HarperBusiness Essentials edition of <em>The Intelligent Investor</em> is the most important book you will ever read on how to reach your financial goals.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[”Cânturi de suflet” e o colecție de poezii care exprimă cu naturalețe și sinceritate emoții, sentimente, trăiri ce ghidează cititorul către o lume mai frumoasă, mai prietenoasă, mai iubitoare. E o carte pe care să o ai la îndemână ori de câte ori dorești să te îndepărtezi de ritmul agitat al vieții și să te conectezi cu calmul și frumusețea sufletului tău. Citind te vei recunoaște încântându-te în fața unui minunat peisaj, vei trece de la iubirea romantică la atașament pentru a ajunge la iubirea transcendentă, necondiționată, ce trece dincolo de timp și de formă. Vei reflexiona asupra vieții cu așteptările și căutările ei și te vei regăsi în esența eternă din inima ta. „[...]Sunt eu, dar nu cum mă cunosc, Sunt altceva, mai rarefiat, Un univers nelimitat, Fără început, fără sfârșit, Puls calm bătând necontenit...” Realitățile evocate în versuri își sporesc valoarea artistică prin fotografiile oferite cu generozitate de Gabriel Flain (unevisual.com), artist fotograf ce, cu privirea sa transfiguratoare, surprinde frumusețea în viața obișnuită unde, adesea, nu o mai observăm.]]></book_description>

    <user_review><![CDATA[Am citit de două ori această carte. Prima dată când încă nu era tipărită în limba română, iar a doua oară acum, când mă pregătesc să o prezint pe autoare la Book Club-ul lunar al Asociației WomenEsteem International. Îmi amintesc că de la prima citire am simțit limbajul comun al sufletelor artist, care cântă viața într-un fel pe care doar ele îl înțeleg. Așa că am vibrat pe aceeași cuantă cu sufletul artist al autoarei. <br /><br />Astăzi, la câți ani distanță, mi se reiterează că timpul este doar o iluzie a acestei lumi, iar cuvântul poartă în el cu adevărat puterea de manifestare și de conectare a sufletelor similare. Fiind la rândul meu scriitor de poezie încă din copilărie, am rezonat profund cu multe dintre poeziile adunate cu grijă și considerație de Carmen în această carte. Atât de mult încât, pe o parte dintre ele, le-am recunoscut în mine. Ca și când le-aș fi scris eu. Iar pentru această sensibilitate care ne unește la nivel de suflet, îi sunt tare recunoscătoare lui Carmen căreia îi mulțumesc pentru acest dar pe care a decis să-l ofere lumii. <br /><br />Recomand cu drag acest volum de versuri, ce poate fi asemănat cu un raft delicat dintr-un magazin de parfumuri. Majoritatea temelor abordate sunt condensate ca esențele de parfum ce sunt păstrate în sticluțe mici. Iar dacă ești un suflet sensibil, vei vibra cu siguranță pe notele lor așa cum am vibrat și eu în timp ce citeam “Răspuns”, “Și plouă”, “Lăcrimioare”, “Plouă”, “Vârtejul”, “Nostalgie”, “Ce e iubirea?”, “Alter ego”, “Animus”, “Transcendență”, “Meditație” sau “Autoportret”.<br /><br />Felicitări și mulțumiri, Carmen, pentru că ai ales să împărtășești cu noi o parte din sensibilitatea sufletului tău! La cât mai mulți cititori și la cât mai multe aprecieri! ]]></user_review>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Heralded as Virginia Woolf's greatest novel, this is a vivid portrait of a single day in a woman's life. When we meet her, Mrs. Clarissa Dalloway is preoccupied with the last-minute details of party preparation while in her mind she is something much more than a perfect society hostess. As she readies her house, she is flooded with remembrances of faraway times. And, met with the realities of the present, Clarissa reexamines the choices that brought her there, hesitantly looking ahead to the unfamiliar work of growing old.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The mind guides our footsteps as we progress along the pathway of life.<br /><br />Purity of mind leads inevitably to purity of life, to the precious love and understanding that should control our everyday acts and attitudes towards friends and foes.<br /><br />But where must one look for guidance? How does one achieve purity of mind that alone brings happiness and confidence?<br /><br />The author offers his clear answers in this book <i>As A Man Thinketh</i>. His words have helped millions for more than a century--and they continue to point the true way to a better life for a troubled humanity.<br /><br />"Out of a clean heart comes a clean life and a clean body," James Allen writes. "Out of a defiled mind proceeds a defiled life and a corrupt body."<br /><br />Too many mortals strive to improve only their wordly position--and too few seek spiritual betterment. Such is the problem James Allen faced in his own time. The ideas he found in his inner-most heart after great searching guided him as they will guide you.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[According to the Japanese, everyone has an ikigai—a reason for living. And according to the residents of the Japanese village with the world’s longest-living people, finding it is the key to a happier and longer life. Having a strong sense of ikigai—where what you love, what you’re good at, what you can get paid for, and what the world needs all overlap—means that each day is infused with meaning. It’s the reason we get up in the morning. It’s also the reason many Japanese never really retire (in fact there’s no word in Japanese that means retire in the sense it does in English): They remain active and work at what they enjoy, because they’ve found a real purpose in life—the happiness of always being busy.<br /><br />In researching this book, the authors interviewed the residents of the Japanese village with the highest percentage of 100-year-olds—one of the world’s Blue Zones. <i>Ikigai</i> reveals the secrets to their longevity and happiness: how they eat, how they move, how they work, how they foster collaboration and community, and—their best-kept secret—how they find the ikigai that brings satisfaction to their lives. And it provides practical tools to help you discover your own ikigai. Because who doesn’t want to find happiness in every day?]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>3 Books Collection Set:</b><br /><br /><b>
  <i>Ikigai: The Japanese secret to a long and happy life</i>
</b><br /><br />The people of Japan believe that everyone has an ikigai – a reason to jump out of bed each morning. And according to the residents of the Japanese island of Okinawa – the world’s longest-living people – finding it is the key to a longer and more fulfilled life. Inspiring and comforting, this book will give you the life-changing tools to uncover your personal ikigai. It will show you how to leave urgency behind, find your purpose, nurture friendships and throw yourself into your passions. <br /><br /><b>
  <i>The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well</i>
</b><br /><br />The Danish word hygge is one of those beautiful words that doesn't directly translate into English, but it more or less means comfort, warmth or togetherness. Hygge is the feeling you get when you are cuddled up on a sofa with a loved one, in warm knitted socks, in front of the fire, when it is dark, cold and stormy outside. It that feeling when you are sharing good, comfort food with your closest friends, by candle light and exchanging easy conversation. It is those cold, crisp blue sky mornings when the light through your window is just right. <br /><br /><b>
  <i>Lagom: The Swedish Art of Balanced Living</i>
</b><br /><br />Step aside Hygge. Lagom is the new Scandi lifestyle trend taking the world by storm. This delightfully illustrated book gives you the lowdown on this transformative approach to life and examines how the lagom ethos has helped boost Sweden to the No.10 ranking in 2017's World Happiness Report. Lagom (pronounced 'lah-gom') has no equivalent in the English language but is loosely translated as 'not too little, not too much, just right'. It is widely believed that the word comes from the Viking term 'laget om', for when a mug of mead was passed around a circle and there was just enough for everyone to get a sip.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA['He was not blind to the fact that murder, like the religions of the Pagan world, requires a victim as well as a priest...'<br /><br />Wilde's supremely witty tale of dandies, anarchists and a murderous prophecy in London high society.<br />Introducing Little Black Classics: 80 books for Penguin's 80th birthday. Little Black Classics celebrate the huge range and diversity of Penguin Classics, with books from around the world and across many centuries. They take us from a balloon ride over Victorian London to a garden of blossom in Japan, from Tierra del Fuego to 16th-century California and the Russian steppe. Here are stories lyrical and savage; poems epic and intimate; essays satirical and inspirational; and ideas that have shaped the lives of millions.<br /><br />Oscar Wilde (1854-1900). Wilde's works available in Penguin Classics are De Profundis and Other Prison Writings, The Complete Short Fiction, The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays, The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Soul of Man Under Socialism and Selected Critical Prose.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[In this story of artistic obsession, a wounded man finds shelter in an abandoned château in the Appenines and with his valet settles into a small apartment in a remote turret. The oddly shaped room is full of paintings, and on his pillow the man finds a small book that appears to tell their stories. One painting in particular, of a beautiful girl, holds him spellbound, and, consulting the history book, he learns the startling secret of the oval portrait’s extraordinary execution.<br /><br />A pioneer of the short story genre, Edgar Allan Poe’s stories typically captured themes of the macabre and included elements of the mysterious. His better-known stories include “The Fall of the House of Usher”, “The Pit and the Pendulum”, “The Murders in the Rue Morgue”, “The Masque of the Red Death” and “The Tell-Tale Heart”.<br /><br />HarperPerennial Classics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms. Look for more titles in the HarperPerennial Classics collection to build your digital library.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Get set for true terror in one of Edgar Allan Poe's most famous short stories.<br /><br />We enter the mind of a prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition. The dank prison room is without light and he begins to feel his way around the walls. Later, as a little light enters the room, he discovers two things: a deep and dangerous pit in the centre into which he had almost fallen when he explored the cell blindly, and a scythe-like pendulum suspended from the ceiling which is slowly descending as it swings back and forth with his body as its target. You'll feel his terror.<br /><br />Contents:<br />- The Pit and the Pendulum<br />- The Black Cat<br />- The Tell-Tale Heart<br />- The Premature Burial]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Romanul topeşte cu o particulară măiestrie o iubire frumoasă, intensă şi tulburătoare, cu povestea înfiorată a căutărilor, cu seducţia aventurii şi căldura prieteniilor, cu interferenţa palpitândă de viaţă a trecutului. Forţa trăirii, fascinanta înviere a unui alt timp, convieţuirea timpurilor este încifrată în titlul textului, tot aşa cum descifrarea acestuia implică un prezent multiplu şi ambiguu, configurat definitiv, sugerând atemporalitatea, capabilă să proiecteze evanescent şi un viitor prea bine cunoscut. Această mise en abyme adaugă convingătoarei construcţii epice semnate de Dan Petru Cristea un surprinzător, magic mister.<br /><br />Rodica MARIAN<br /><br />Toate prezenturile ei este, în esenţă, un intens roman de dragoste, combinat cu un roman istoric. Care e legătura între un informatician şi o umanistă care-şi trăiesc pasional iubirea şi spătarul Nicolae Milescu, aventurosul cărturar din secolul al XVII-lea? Cele două poveşti se ames-tecă abil, creând nu doar un suspans al faptelor, ci şi unul al semnificaţiilor subtile. Sunt, de fapt, două confesiuni, situate la secole distanţă, care seamănă foarte mult, pentru că au aceeaşi morală: asumarea dragostei ca destin. Dan Petru Cristea demonstrează, prin această nouă carte, că este un prozator versat, un povestitor seducător, capabil să-şi ţină cititorul cu sufletul la gură de la prima la ultima pagină.<br /><br />Bogdan CREŢU]]></book_description>

O recunosc de pe liniile temporale pe care am avut șansa să mă trezesc deja cu claritate în această viață și, tocmai de aceea, pot spune că recunosc în autor harul divin de a le înțelege și de a le putea reda cu naturalețe în cuvinte. <br /><br />Nu, cartea nu este deloc ușoară! Și dacă nu s-a așezat în tine acea tihnă a vieții care nu mai aleargă după senzațional sau după ruperea din cotidian prin aruncarea brutală într-o poveste care să-ți dea speranță sau să-ți deseneze un tablou luminos la care să visezi, atunci, devine inutil să o deschizi.

    <book_description><![CDATA[“Paralelism dual” oferă cititorului instrumentele de a-și scrie și rescrie propria poveste, de a-și cunoaște copilul interior și a-l ajuta să se simtă iubit, înțeles și acceptat necondiționat. Creează acel spaţiu sigur de a fi și rostește-i copilului din tine ceea ce a avut nevoie mereu să audă: că este iubit și că ești acolo pentru el, pentru tine cel de acum. A fi auzit, văzut, simţit sunt nevoi firești pe care ţi le poţi oferi prin iubire și compasiune. Oferă-ți șansa de a fi ascultat cu adevărat, poate, pentru prima oară.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Life has no price, Cristina, mi-a spus un localnic de 28 de ani din insula Gorée și mi-a oferit brățara lui din cupru. <br />Mie mi-a luat trei decenii să ajung la concluzia asta: că fiecare moment din viață este un dar. Și că trebuie să fiu recunoscătoare pentru ce am.<br />Când am împlinit 30 de ani, am plecat în căutarea fericirii. Am luat harta lumii și am îndoit-o la jumătate, fix de-a lungul Oceanului Atlantic. Și au rezultat două părți diametral opuse: America și Africa. Dacă acum câteva secole legătura dintre ele o făcea insula Gorée, prin comerțul cu sclavi, în cazul meu a făcut-o diagnosticul care mi-a confirmat prezența unei tumori maligne.<br />Este o călătorie pe care am făcut-o pe parcursul unui an de zile. O călătorie care a implicat două continente, dar care mai ales a presupus un amalgam de emoții, decizii și revelații.<br />Cartea este simetrică. Fiecărei experiențe din State îi corespunde în oglindă alta din Africa. Dacă în State locurile sunt cele care m-au marcat, în Africa sunt oamenii pe care i-am întâlnit și care mi-au oferit cele mai importante lecții de viață. Și pentru că am vrut să redau cu o acuratețe cât mai mare cele întâmplate, personajele din capitolul Africa păstrează numele reale ale localnicilor întâlniți. Le-am cerut acordul și le sunt recunoscătoare.<br />Dar să începem cu începutul. Cu primul zbor transatlantic. Cu visul american.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[În anul 1456, voievodul Iancu de Hunedoara, aflat în fruntea armatei cruciaților, reușește să apere Cetatea Belgradului și să oprească înaintarea armatei Turciei otomane, devenită imperiu după căderea Constantinopolului. Însoțind un convoi mortuar, învingătorii se întorc acasă. Trupurile neînsuflețite se află în grija unui grup de luptători romîni, toți proscriși: un călău, o rebelă fugită de acasă din cauza unor evenimente tragice, un preot răspopit, un ucenic săbier cu mințile rătăcite și doi braconieri. Istoriile, întîmplările, tainele de familie și feluritele mistere presărate pe drumul lor vor țese Povestea. Personaj în sine, Povestea se va mișca printre oameni, intervenind în istoriile lor, dezvăluindu-se treptat ca protagonista întregului roman. În umbra amenințătoare a Imperiului Otoman, asistăm la zbaterile bătrînului continent creștin, sfîșiat de lupta dintre catolicism și ortodoxism, în timp ce Unirea de la Florența a celor două Biserici stă și ea sub semnul discordiei, avînd deopotrivă susținători, partida paleologilor, dar și inamici, partida cantacuzinilor. Lumea medievală în care realitatea este străbătută adesea de unicorni, grifoni sau viziuni fantastice compune un hronic și un cîntec al convoiului, adus la viață printr-o fidelă punere în scenă în decorul și culorile epocii.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Într-adevăr, emoţiile dau culoare vieţii noastre. Încearcă să îţi imaginezi pentru o clipă o lume lipsită de emoţii. Bucuria ar lipsi complet din ea. Nimeni nu ar fi vreodată fericit şi nu ar da dovadă de bunătate faţă de semenii săi. Iubirea ar fi inexistentă, la fel ca şi celelalte emoţii pozitive.<br /><br />De bună seamă, pe o astfel de planetă imaginară ar lipsi şi emoţiile negative. Locuitorii ei nu ar cunoaşte tristeţea sau mânia, depresia sau durerea. Cu greu am putea numi o astfel de existenţă: viaţă. Fără capacitatea de a simţi emoţiile de orice fel, viaţa ar fi redusă la o rutină anostă şi cenuşie care s-ar succeda între naştere şi moarte. De aceea, fii recunoscător pentru emoţiile tale!<br /><br />Există probabil şi emoţii pe care le-ai trăit, dar pe care ai fi preferat să nu le fi avut niciodată. Nu există om care să nu treacă uneori prin perioade dificile. Probabil că ai trăit şi tu momentele tale de anxietate, de durere, mânie, frustrare şi teamă. Probabil că ai avut perioade de tristeţe, poate chiar de depresie, în care preţuirea de sine a fost ca şi inexistentă, în care ţi-ai pierdut speranţele sau în care ai manifestat alte emoţii negative.<br /><br />Partea cea mai tristă este că o bună parte din aceste emoţii negative continuă să îţi creeze probleme, chiar dacă le-ai experimentat cu foarte mult timp în urmă. Ele fac acest lucru într-o manieră subtilă, dar foarte dăunătoare. Codul Emoţiilor îşi propune să descopere aceste emoţii refulate (nerezolvate) şi să le elibereze odată pentru totdeauna.<br /><br />O bună parte din suferinţa noastră se datorează energiilor emoţionale „captive” înlăuntrul nostru. Codul Emoţiilor este o metodă simplă, dar extrem de eficientă, de descoperire şi de eliminare a acestor energii captive.<br /><br />Foarte mulţi oameni au descoperit că dacă se eliberează de emoţiile nerezolvate captive, viaţa lor devine mai sănătoasă şi mai fericită. O singură emoţie nerezolvată captivă este suficientă pentru a da naştere unor probleme fizice şi emoţionale mai mari sau mai mici.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[București, 1989<br /><br />În Europa, toate regimurile comuniste se prăbușesc rând pe rând. Românii nu se bucură de libertate, ci se află în continuare sub brațul de fier al dictaturii lui Nicolae Ceaușescu.<br /><br />Într-o țară închisă, izolată și condusă prin impunerea sentimentului de frică, Cristian Florescu, un adolescent de șaptesprezece ani, care visează să devină scriitor, este șantajat și racolat de Securitate. Nu-i rămân decât două posibilități: să-i trădeze pe toți din jurul lui, tot ce iubește, sau, folosindu-se de de noul lui statut, să facă tot ce poate pentru a submina sistemul totalitar, din interior. Cristian riscă totul ca să demaște regimul autoritar și pe cel mai diabolic dictator din Europa de Est, să ofere o voce poporului român și să arate lumii ce se petrece în țara lui. Când apare scânteia Revoluției, se alătură plin de entuziasm și luptă pentru schimbare și, în sfârșit, pentru Libertate.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Sudul Indiei, 1969. Înarmate doar cu inocența invincibilă a copiilor, Rahel și Estha își trăiesc copilăria la adăpostul unei familii pestrițe: frumoasa, dar singuratica lor mamă, care îl iubește noaptea pe bărbatul pe care copiii ei îl adoră ziua; bunica lor oarbă, care cântă Handel la vioară; unchiul lor iubit, chefliu, marxist radical, afemeiat; o mătușă antipatică, fostă călugăriță... Dar când verișoara lor din Anglia împreună cu mama ei vin în vizită de Crăciun, gemenele află că lucrurile se pot schimba într-o clipă, că viața poate lua forme noi, urâte, sau chiar poate dispărea pentru totdeauna. Povestea superb țesută dă continuu senzația stranie de presimțiri, de inevitabil. Cu toate acestea, nimic nu ne pregătește pentru ceea ce se va dezvălui în final.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>A grand vision defined: The CEO of The Walt Disney Company shares the ideas and values he has used to reinvent one of the most beloved companies in the world, and inspire the people who bring the magic to life.</b><br /><br />In 2005, Robert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company during a difficult time. Morale had deteriorated, competition was more intense, and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company's history. "I knew there was nothing to be gained from arguing over the past," Iger writes. "The only thing that mattered was the future, and I believed I had a clear idea of the direction Disney needed to go." It came down to three clear ideas: 1) Create the highest quality content Disney could produce. 2) Embrace and adopt technology instead of fighting it. And 3) Think bigger--think global--and turn Disney into a stronger brand in international markets.<br /><br />Twelve years later, Disney is the largest, most respected media company in the world counting Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and 21st Century Fox among its properties. Its value is nearly five times what it was when Iger took over, and Iger is recognized as one of the most innovative and successful CEOs of our time.<br /><br />Now, he's sharing the lessons he's learned while running Disney and leading its 200,000 employees--taking big risks in the face of historic disruption; learning to inspire the people who work for you; leading with fairness and communicating principles clearly. This book is about the relentless curiosity that has driven Iger for forty-five years, since the day he started as a studio supervisor at ABC. It's also about thoughtfulness and respect, and a decency-over-dollars approach that has become the bedrock of every project and partnership Iger pursues, from a deep friendship with Steve Jobs in his final years to an abiding love of the evolving <i>Star Wars</i> myth.<br /><br />"Over the past fourteen years, I think I've learned so much about what real leadership is," Iger writes. "But I couldn't have articulated all of this until I lived it. You can't fake it--and that's one of the key lessons in this book."<br /><br /><i><b>Librarian Note:</b> This is an Advance Reader Copy issued with ISBN 9780399592096.

    <book_description><![CDATA[ALAIN DE BOTTON este autorul a numeroase bestselleruri internaționale, precum Consolările filozofiei (2000), Cum îți poate schimba Proust viața (1997), Arhitectura fericirii (2006) sau Religia pentru atei (2012). În 2008 fondează la Londra The School of Life, o organizație care propune – prin centrele din Londra, Melbourne, Rio de Janeiro, Paris şi Amsterdam – un tip alternativ de educație, axat pe experiențele vieții de zi cu zi. În 2009 a fondat Living Architecture, o inițiativă socială care revoluționează ideea de spațiu de vacanță, încurajând totodată arhitectura contemporană.<br /><br />Puţine actvităţi par să ne provoace atâta fericire ca o călătorie: să îţi faci bagajul şi să pleci undeva, departe de casă, într-un loc cu altfel de obiceiuri, climă, peisaje. Însă, deşi suntem inundaţi cu sfaturi despre unde ar trebui să călătorim, adesea ne întrebăm de ce ar trebui să mergem într-un anumit loc şi în ce fel călătoriile noastre ar putea deveni cât mai satisfăcătoare.<br /><br />Cu ajutorul unor scriitori, artişti şi gânditori – printre care Flaubert, Edward Hopper, Wordsworth şi Van Gogh – bestsellerul lui Alain de Botton, Arta de a călători, oferă informaţii nepreţuite despre subiect, de la romantismul vacanţelor, la minibarurile din hoteluri, aeroporturi şi obiective turistice.<br /><br />Antidotul perfect pentru ghidurile care ne spun exact ce să facem când ajungem acolo, Arta de a călătoriîncearcă să ne explice adevăratele motive pentru care călătorim în anumite locuri şi, mai mult, ne sugerează cum am putea avea călătorii mai împlinite.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[În vara lui 2009, Alain de Botton a primit acces pentru a rătăci în jurul aeroportului Heathrow, unul dintre cele mai mari aeroporturi din lume, fiind numit Writer-in-Residence. El a vorbit cu toți angajații din cadrul companiilor aeriene, de la directori executivi la călătorii care trec prin acel punct. Pe baza acestor conversații, a produs această extraordinară relatare despre viața unui aeroport și despre impactul acestuia în existența modernă.<br /><br />Cititorul este plimbat prin salonul de plecări, „spațiul aerian” și sala de sosiri. De Botton sublinează cu inteligență și înțelepciune că petrecerea timpului într-un aeroport poate fi mai utilă și mai revelatoare decât ne-am putea gândi.<br /><br /><br />Alain de Botton<br />Romancier, eseist şi jurnalist, Alain de Botton s-a născut în Zürich, Elveţia în 1969, iar în prezent trăieşte în Londra. Cărţile sale, considerate drept o “filosofie a vieţii de zi cu zi” au devenit bestselleruri în 30 de ţări. Este producător şi realizator a mai multor programe de televiziune. În august 2008 a fost unul dintre membrii fondatori ai unei instituţii de învăţământ în centrul Londrei, care promovează o nouă viziune asupra educaţiei – The School of Life.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[”Dar despre rezistență și nostalgie, despre adaptare și dor nevindecat, Adina Cristea Palada scrie chiar și atunci când renunță la veșmentul profan al prozei pentru a îmbrăca ritualicele straie ale poemului, un fel ie cât o matcă stilistică de la care se revendică invocând modele precum Eminescu sau Minulescu. Și scrie pentru că își reclamă, întâi de toate, dreptul la timpul trăirii în limba română. Un drept pe care condiția de migrant i l-a confiscat - cel puțin parțial -, un drept care i se impută dar un drept fără de care nu poate funcționa cu adevărat nici aici, nici dincolo, după cum nici în cealaltă lume, a zeilor disprețuitori sau a Dumnezeului mort a lui Nietzsche ce nu poate regăsi unica tihnă pe care i-o dă așezarea în patria ei, care este, pe cât de stănesciană, pe atât de reală, pur trup de litere.” <br /><br />Livia Iacob]]></book_description>

    <user_review><![CDATA[Am citit acest volum de poezii foarte repede pentru că “totul curge” (panta rei) în poeziile Adinei Cristea Palada. De la poezia profundă care scoate la iveală trăiri și dureri pe care viața ni le așază în cale, la cea ludică și amuzantă (“Muza Zuza” sau “Paris”) sau la parodii precum “Romglez”, poeziile adunate în volumul “Gânduri. Rânduri” te poartă pe aripile versurilor sale și te îndeamnă la visare sau la introspecție. <br /><br />Măiestria cu care autoarea a ales ordinea acestora, are un efect puternic asupra cititorului care se poate simți, la un moment dat, ca într-un “montagne russe” al emoțiilor. De la tristețe la râs cu lacrimi sau la picat în reveria ori în dorul de cei dragi de care te despart mii de kilometri sau chiar dimensiuni întregi de neființă, autoarea ne testează, parcă, flexibilitatea emoțională și ne-o antrenează până la ultima filă a acestui volum de versuri. <br /><br />Ceea ce am apreciat poate cel mai mult în poezia ludică, în parodie sau în cea cu acrostih, este jocul de cuvinte care provin din alte limbi precum limba engleză și limba franceză. Măiestria cu care autoarea îmbină perfect aceste cuvinte, oferă o muzicalitate aparte versurilor și transmite o stare de bine, o exaltare chiar, a sufletului sensibil care o citește. Și cu o astfel de creație își și încheie volumul de debut în poezie. <br /><br />“Merci<br /><br />Merci mon cher lecteur, <br />Ești cititor de vis<br />Reste mon fidel mentor!<br /><br />Cu ceea ce ți-am scris<br />Inima mi-am deschis.”<br /><br />Recomand tuturor sufletelor sensibile volumul de versuri “Gânduri. Rânduri” scris de Adina Cristea Palada căreia îi transmit din suflet MERCI pentru călătoria sensibilă în care m-au purtat poeziile sale într-o sâmbătă seară de început de an nou. ]]></user_review>

De la tristețe la râs cu lacrimi sau la picat în reveria ori în dorul de cei dragi de care te despart mii de kilometri sau chiar dimensiuni întregi de neființă, autoarea ne testează, parcă, flexibilitatea emoțională și ne-o antrenează până la ultima filă a acestui volum de versuri. <br /><br />Ceea ce am apreciat poate cel mai mult în poezia ludică, în parodie sau în cea cu acrostih, este jocul de cuvinte care provin din alte limbi precum limba engleză și limba franceză. Măiestria cu care autoarea îmbină perfect aceste cuvinte, oferă o muzicalitate aparte versurilor și transmite o stare de bine, o exaltare chiar, a sufletului sensibil care o citește. Și cu o astfel de creație își și încheie volumul de debut în poezie. <br /><br />“Merci<br /><br />Merci mon cher lecteur, <br />Ești cititor de vis<br />Reste mon fidel mentor!<br /><br />Cu ceea ce ți-am scris<br />Inima mi-am deschis.”<br /><br />Recomand tuturor sufletelor sensibile volumul de versuri “Gânduri. Rânduri” scris de Adina Cristea Palada căreia îi transmit din suflet MERCI pentru călătoria sensibilă în care m-au purtat poeziile sale într-o sâmbătă seară de început de an nou. <br/>

    <book_description><![CDATA[„Un roman de o frumusețe tulburătoare." The New York Times Book Review<br /><br />„Delia Owens explorează felul în care izolarea afectează comportamentul uman, precum și efectul profund pe care îl poate avea respingerea asupra noastră." Vanity Fair<br /><br />Zvonurile despre Fata Mlaștinii au circulat mulți ani în Barkley Cove, un orășel liniștit de pe coasta Carolinei de Nord. Așa că, în 1969, când chipeșul Chase Andrews este găsit mort, localnicii bănuiesc imediat că a fost ucis de Kya Clark, adevăratul nume al Fetei Mlaștinii.<br /><br />Însă Kya nu este nici pe departe sălbăticiunea pe care și-o închipuie lumea. Sensibilă și inteligentă, a supraviețuit singură în ținuturile luxuriante de pe malul oceanului, împrietenindu-se cu pescărușii, descoperind bogăția nesfârșită a pădurilor brăzdate de canale și învățând lecții de viață accesibile doar celor care trăiesc în natură.<br /><br />Într-o bună zi, Kya simte înfiripându-se în sufletul ei dorința de a fi iubită, iar când doi tineri din oraș sunt atrași de frumusețea ei neobișnuită, viața i se schimbă complet, căpătând un alt sens. <br />Dar, nu după mult timp, ceva cu totul neprevăzut îi sfărâmă noua existență.<br /><br />Acolo unde cânta racii îmbină cu un talent extraordinar povestea tulburătoare a maturizării unei fete părăsite de familie, un superb omagiu adus naturii, o emoționantă poveste de iubire și misterul unei crime.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Să ucizi un rege este un sacrilegiu, dar să omori un zeu este deja un păcat pe care nimeni nu ți-l mai poate spăla. <br /><br />Anisia este blestemată să nu își afle locul în lume, din cauză că este orfană. În vreme ce se luptă cu nedreptățile din jur, găsește într-o bijuterie un potențial aliat care o poate ghida spre o soartă mai bună... Sau spre un iad din care nu mai poate scăpa. <br /><br />Tânăra se trezește captivă într - o lume despre care credea că e un mit, prinsă între cinci Paznici ai zeului care a fost ucis cu brutalitate. Destinul ei se împletește cu cel al altor patru fete menite să îi ajute pe Paznici în lupta pentru apărarea unui ținut blestemat din cauza morții divinității. <br /><br />Împreună, vor descoperi că salvarea unei lumi nu este deloc ușoară, prețul plătit putând fi chiar propria viață...]]></book_description>

    <user_review><![CDATA[Mi-a plăcut povestea, am citit-o destul de repede, însă nu la fel de repede precum “Pierduți”. Este o carte scrisă bine, pentru care o felicit din suflet pe autoare. Însă nu am mai simțit-o în acest text ca în “Pierduți”. Dacă ar fi să mă uit la cele două, aș zice că “Pierduți” a fost scrisă cu sufletul, iar “Paznicii întunericului” cu mintea. <br /><br />Altfel, firul narativ este plăcut, pasajele descriptive sunt create frumos, la fel ca și dialogul. Însă le lipsește ceea ce spuneam mai sus. O anumită intensitate pe care am simțit-o în “Pierduți” și care m-a ținut legată de carte până am terminat-o. <br /><br />General vorbind, talentul autoarei de a povesti se distinge ușor și cred că are mai multă valoare mai puțin editat. Iată! Acesta a fost sentimentul general: că această carte a fost “mult prea cizelată”, iar asta a redus din originalitatea și naturalețea de a povesti a autoarei. Poate mă înșel, însă aceasta a fost percepția mea. <br /><br />O felicit pe Ruxandra pentru talent, pentru curajul de a-și împărtăși poveștile cu noi toți și pentru verticalitatea cu care primește fiecare feedback. Succes și la cât mai multe cărți publicate. Abia o aștept pe următoarea care sper să fie volumul 2 din seria “Blestemații”. ]]></user_review>

    <book_description><![CDATA["Mâţa Vinerii" spune istoria unui reţetar magic şi a unei familii de adepţi ai marelui Sator. Plasată în Bucureştiul fanariot şi în epoca luminilor, la fel ca Manuscrisul fanariot – ultimul bestseller semnat Doina Ruşti –, povestea trece pe nesimţite de la faptele reale din anul 1798 la misterele unui cult de magicieni, ale căror fabuloase reţete culinare, notate cu acribie în Cartea bucatelor rele, scot la lumină gusturile vieţii arhaice şi rafinamentul unei bucătării fermecate, din vremuri de mult uitate. Cărăbuşii prăjiţi, crumilla cum animis, plăcintele de trandafiri, elixirele de iubire sau lichiorul formicosus sînt numai cîteva dintre mixturile vrăjite ce condimentează peripeţiile Mîţei Vinerii.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[În Maran, viața este suspendată între realitate și basm, într-un timp care prinde contur încet-încet, luând dureros forma istoriei. În acest sat de piatră aflat sub legea credințelor străvechi de pe vârful unui munte armean, războiul și dezastrele naturale zdruncină pacea fragilă a unor oameni ieșiți din comun. Doar câțiva vor supraviețui și vor putea spune povestea unui veac. Printre ei, Anatolia și Vasili, a căror iubire neașteptată salvează lumea. Anatolia, a cărei sarcină târzie, miraculoasă, amintește de sarcina Sarei, este, la 58 de ani, cea mai tânără locuitoare a satului. Ea aduce pe lume o fetiță, la capătul unui lung șir de drame. Viața sa, ca și cea a lui Vasili, a fost marcată de suferință, moarte, luptă și îndârjire, dar și de evenimente providențiale și semne inexplicabile, precum îngerii care coboară din cer să adune sufletele celor care mor. Apariția unui misterios păun alb, la sfârșitul unei cumplite foamete care a secerat viețile copiiilor din sat, stă sub semnul fantasticului. Misiunea sacră a splendidei păsări este să-l protejeze pe singurul băiat din Maran, un orfan pe care bunicii îl ocrotesc cu fervoare. Sub protecția acestui geniu bun, copilul supraviețuiește, crește, se căsătorește departe, are un fiu, iar întoarcerea lui în Maran și nașterea fetiței Anatoliei sunt semnele unei mântuiri.]]></book_description>

De fapt, aceasta este partea mea preferată a cărții cu care am rezonat, care m-a amuzat și m-a făcut să retrăiesc momente din copilăria mea în care am avut parte de bunici creativi, care au știut cum să-mi stimuleze talentele. <br /><br />I-am dat trei steluțe pentru că nu am rezonat cu partea a doua, unde se trece brusc de la povestea frumoasă a lui JO, la “Regulile noului creator”. Mi-ar fi plăcut ca aceste reguli, bune de altfel pentru creatori la început de drum, să fie integrate în povestea lui JO și a mamei sale. Cred că ar fi spectaculos așa și ar fi crescut infinit valoarea întregii cărți. Dar aceasta este doar perspectiva mea și cred că ține de gustul fiecărui cititor. <br /><br />Concluzionând, recomand cartea Ancăi, “Creatori în acțiune” pentru că, oricare ar fi gustul cititorului, lectura este ușoară, iar poveștile profunde. Iar dacă ai nevoie de sfaturi referitoare la cum să-ți exersezi creativitatea proprie sau pe cea a copilului tău, găsești direcții foarte bune. <br /><br />Felicitări, Anca și la cât mai multe creații oferite lumii! ]]></user_review>

    <book_description><![CDATA[In his popular Stanford University lectures, Shirzad Chamine reveals how to achieve one’s true potential for both professional success and personal fulfillment. His groundbreaking research exposes ten well-disguised mental Saboteurs. Nearly 95 percent of the executives in his Stanford lectures conclude that these Saboteurs cause “significant harm” to achieving their true potential. With Positive Intelligence, you can learn the secret to defeating these internal foes. Positive Intelligence (PQ)SM measures the percentage of time your mind is serving you as opposed to sabotaging you. While your IQ and EQ (emotional intelligence) contribute to your maximum potential, it is your PQ that determines how much of that potential you actually achieve.<br /><br />The great news is that you can improve your PQ significantly in as little as 21 days. With higher PQ, teams and professionals ranging from leaders to salespeople perform 30 to 35 percent better on average. Importantly, they also report being far happier and less stressed. The breakthrough tools and techniques in this book have been refined over years of coaching hundreds of CEOs and their executive teams. Shirzad tells many of their remarkable stories, showing how you too can take concrete steps to unleash the vast, untapped powers of your mind.<br /><br />Discover how to<br />•    Identify and conquer your top Saboteurs. Common Saboteurs include the Judge, Controller, Victim, Avoider, and Pleaser.  <br />•    Measure the Positive Intelligence score (PQ) for yourself or your team—and see how close you come to the critical tipping point required for peak performance.<br />•    Increase PQ dramatically in as little as 21 days.<br />•    Develop new brain “muscles,” and access 5 untapped powers with energizing mental “power games.”<br />•    Apply PQ tools and techniques to increase both performance and fulfillment. Applications include team building, mastering workload, working with “difficult” people, improving work/life balance, reducing stress, and selling and persuading.<br /><br /><br />]]></book_description>

I did not have it on my itinerary, but on the way back to Luxor, I asked specifically to go there and it was one of the most beautiful and vibrant temples I've seen. <br /><br />The book itself it's for people attracted to the unknown hidden behind the material world.

    <book_description><![CDATA[Aceasta lucrare abordeaza Cabala Mistica, o traditie transmisa oral, care se presupune ca provine direct de la Abraham si care, prin continutul ei teoretic si practic, transcende granitele confesionale, extinzandu-se, in diferite forme, in mai multe medii spirituale (iudaism, islam, crestinism, tantra hindusa si chiar daoism).<br /><br />Autorul, Daniel Feldman, transmite astfel invatatura unui grup esoteric - Works of the Chariot ("Lucrarea Carului Divin") -, utilizand scripturile marilor traditii, dar si informatii initiatice greu accesibile, pentru a arata unitatea de scopuri si metodologie intre Cabala - ca bun al intregii omeniri - si toate aceste nuclee initiatice. Lucrarea contine mai multe variante inedite de Arbore al Vietii, precum si o consistenta parte practica.<br /><br />"Monoteismul Maestrului Abraham nu a insemnat, pur si simplu, ca exista un singur Dumnezeu, ci mai degraba ca numai Sursa Divina exista. Prin urmare, mistica primilor evrei s-a concentrat, probabil, pe universalitatea si omniprezenta Sursei Divine in toate fiintele, din toate planurile de existenta. Ritualurile de grup vor fi evidentiat si celebrat aceasta relatie. Nu existau sinagogi si nici rabini: existau corturi si batrani venerabili."<br /><br />"Ideile si practicile Cabalei Mistice isi gasesc contrapartea (desi diferit invesmantata) in practic toate celelalte traditii mistice, fiecare dintre acestea prezentand propria sa versiune unica a acelorasi invataturi universale. La fel ca oricare alta traditie spirituala, Cabala Mistica prezinta o viziune asupra lumii inradacinata esentialmente intr-un Necunoscut Misterios, o «existenta negativa» despre care nu se poate spune Nimic, un «Unu fara secund»."<br /><br />"Prin Cabala Mistica desemnam o transmitere mistica straveche, care a precedat si depasit oricare dintre receptaculele religioase prin care ea a fost ulterior filtrata si adaptata. Aceste receptacule includ: cel ebraic israelit, cel rabinic iudaic, cel mistic crestin, cel sufit islamic si, posibil, chiar cel tantric din nordul Indiei.<br /><br />Fiecare dintre aceste receptacule a modelat invataturile universale ale Cabalei Mistice dupa contextul, limba si mediul cultural ale sistemului respectiv. Fiecare versiune este unica si frumoasa, demna de a fi respectata si celebrata. Niciunul dintre aceste vase nu poate pretinde insa, in mod legitim, ca este unica autoritate ortodoxa pentru aceste invataturi."<br /><br />Daniel Feldman]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Pentru mine, poezia, asemeni oricarei manifestari exterioare a Universului dinlauntrul fiecaruia este o lupta a sinelui in care singurii lauri cu care se incununeaza un poet sunt admiratorii sai.<br />Scriu de la varsta de 15 ani si tot de atunci, scriind, continui sa simt cum port cerul instelat intre mainile mele. - Simo Liviu Mihai]]></book_description>

Am regăsit tablouri de viață și natură expuse de cei doi autori atât de simplu, prin aceste bijuterii de 17 silabe. Și m-a fascinat. M-a fascinat talentul Clarei și al lui Eduard, precum și profunzimea la care se poate ajunge prin haiku. <br /><br />Haiku este pentru mine, acum, la o primă întâlnire, ca o esență de parfum adunată picătură cu picătură în sticluțe mici, unicat.

    <book_description><![CDATA[În ceea ce ai scris am găsit o Diana pe care nu o știam. Diana în adolescență și Diana în iubire. Diana în pragmatism și Diana în exaltare... O Diana simplă și jucăușă și o Diana încurcată în labirintul unor trăiri neînțelese sau târziu revelate. Diana în timpul care îi priește și o face să strălucească. Noaptea. Multă noapte în poezia ta... Atât de firesc de altfel. <br /><br />Tot felul de Diana care a generat în timp poezia pe care o citesc eu acum, curioasă și emoționată, zâmbind și lăsând imaginația să zboare, înainte de culcare.<br /><br />Mi-a plăcut ce-am citit până acum. Și mai vreau. Poate că ai reușit să trezești acum, cu această dorință a ta, ceva ce amorțise pe nesimțite în mine. Prea mulți de "poate"! Certitudine este felul intens în care m-au făcut să mă simt multe dintre poeziile tale.<br /><br />Mulțumesc mult pentru încredere, pentru emoțiile pe care mi le-ai destăinuit și pe care le vom descoperi cu toții, citindu-ți cuvintele și încărcându-ne de energia și materia trăirilor tale, prin această carte.<br />Mi-a plăcut și mai vreau!<br /><br />Drag și prețuire cine știe din ce și câte timpuri.<br /><br />Mihaela Tatu]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[”THE UNSTOPPABLE THIRST El Camino de Santiago de Compostela An Alchemic Path Towards The Inner Self” is a heartfelt journal about self-discovery. Earnest and brave, sometimes vulnerable, Diana tells her story. Mile by mile Camino reveals its wonderful landscapes and reminds its traveler that strength and hope are to be found in the most unexpected places.<br /><br />This emotional recollection invites the readers deep into the author’s heart and mind. One could feel Diana’s despair, impatience, hope, joy and gratitude along the way. Each chapter holds a “lesson of the day” which sums up the experiences lived in a day and the new and useful things they brought to our pilgrim.<br /><br />The pilgrims that Diana met on her way and that she chose to stay with for a while are a vivid presence along the pages. She accepted their presence like they accepted hers and they shared their stories. Camino is about friendship, but it is also about finding me-time, finding your own way; it’s about coming together but also about saying stop when you need to be alone.<br /><br />Diana admits her failures, rejoices her success, and finally finds her peace of mind. This can also be an inspirational reading for people that sometimes feel their way is not going anywhere.<br /><br />Whether you are interested in Camino de Santiago, the main landscapes along the way, you want some inspiration for the ride called life, or you just want to travel for a few hundred miles in the shoes of a pilgrim who struggles to find her way and succeeds, you should open this book and immerse yourself in its wonderful universe. Enjoy!<br /><br />Elena-Carmen Lincă<br />WomenEsteem International Association Board Member]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[From the <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>The Rosie Project</em> comes a story of taking chances and learning to love again as two people, one mourning her husband and the other recovering from divorce, cross paths on the centuries-old Camino pilgrimage from France to Spain.<br /><br /><em>“The Chemin will change you. It changes everyone…”</em><br /><br />The Chemin, also known as the Camino de Santiago, is a centuries-old pilgrim route that ends in Santiago de Compostela in northwest Spain. Every year, thousands of walkers—some devout, many not—follow the route that wends through quaint small villages and along busy highways alike, a journey unlike any other.<br /><br />Zoe, an artist from California who’s still reeling from her husband’s sudden death, has impulsively decided to walk the Camino, hoping to find solace and direction. Martin, an engineer from England, is road-testing a cart of his own design…and recovering from a messy divorce. They begin in the same French town, each uncertain of what the future holds. Zoe has anticipated the physical difficulties of her trek, but she is less prepared for other challenges, as strangers and circumstances force her to confront not just recent loss, but long-held beliefs. For Martin, the pilgrimage is a test of his skills and endurance but also, as he and Zoe grow closer, of his willingness to trust others—and himself—again.<br /><br />Smart and funny, insightful and romantic, <em>Two Steps Forward</em> reveals that the most important journeys we make aren’t measured in miles, but in the strength, wisdom, and love found along the way. Fans of <em>The Rosie Project</em> will recognize Graeme Simsion’s uniquely quirky and charming writing style.<br /><br /> ]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Exiști? Sau doar trăiești?<br />Cauți întrebările potrivite sau alergi după răspunsul corect, considerat universal?<br />Te pierzi în regretele trecutului și fantasmele viitorului, căutând neîncetat punctul central care ești.<br />,,Soluția coliniarității. Contrapunct” reliefează sumarul proceselor senzoriale și cognitive prin detalii extrapolate din trăiri interioare, contexte factuale, înfățișând concordanța dintre sistemul uman și univers. <br />Căutarea și fuga neîncetată a ființei umane poate fi direcționată înspre sine cu scopul recreării și al autocreării, prin fundamentul iubirii, al valorilor și al adevărului.<br />Ești damnat să trăiești, dar liber să exiști.<br />.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Reghina este un Iov feminin, dintr-un spațiu nord-transilvan, în care miraculosul se insinuează în ordinea comună, iar istoria recentă sugrumă destinele oamenilor. Este mamă a doisprezece copii, împreună cu care alcătuiește „un trup de o mie de kilograme“, plămădit din puține bucurii și insu-portabilă suferință. Până la urmă, Reghina este mama universală.<br />Miza cărții Ioanei Nicolaie este să scoată la lumină, prin incursul faulknerian în interiorul unei minți care amestecă timpurile și emoțiile, o viață, un destin, o urmă pe care umanitatea personajelor ei o lasă (sau nu) în lume. Cartea nu se citește cu sufletul ușor, ci cu sufletul la gură. Narațiunea e densă, stratificată în episoade ce construiesc o viziune etnografică a marilor evenimente din viață (în definitiv, suntem în spațiul lui Rebreanu): o șezătoare, un pețit, o nuntă, prima noapte de dragoste, uluirea, durerea, rușinea, frica, prima bătaie primită de la soț, primul copil, următorii până la doisprezece. Viața unei femei, așa cum a fost ea.<br />Cititorul va întâlni cu emoție, de-a lungul romanului, diverse feluri de a-nțelege realitatea: orășelul Văralia, unde se petrec întâmplările din carte, are ceva din familiarul satului Prislop, din magia ținutului Macondo și din dramatismul vieții oamenilor în comitatul Yoknapatawpha, rămânând totuși un spațiu unic, nemaiîntâlnit, descris de autoare cu o iubire nesfârșită.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[When Dervla Murphy was ten, she was given a bicycle and an atlas, and planned a trip to India. 21 years later, in 1963, she finally set off on the journey. She cycled across a frozen Europe during one of the worst winters in memory, through Persia and Afghanistan, over the Himalayas to Pakistan, and finally to India. She was particularly taken by the landscape and people of Afghanistan, calling herself "Afghanatical" and claiming that the Afghan "is a man after my own heart". Along the way, she made friends, fought off wolves and lecherous policemen, encountered blizzards and blistering heat, and achieved the realisation of her childhood dream.<br /><br /> <i>Full Tilt</i> was only the first in of Murphy's accounts of her travel adventures, and provides an exciting introduction to this remarkable woman..]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Elayla este o tânără aflată într-o situație mai mult decât nefericită și, pentru a putea plăti tratamentele tatălui său, se vede obligată să se angajeze la o bibliotecă.<br /><br />În clipa în care doamna Timothy pretinde că o carte ar fi împins-o spre moarte pe unica sa fiică, viața protagonistei se schimbă drastic.<br /><br />Elayla devine una cu cartea, urmând să parcurgă aceiași pași pe care Bianca i-a făcut, pentru a-l cunoaște pe cel care i-a adus sfârșitul, iar de-a lungul acestei fantastice călătorii va întâlni toate acele creaturi despre care crezuse că sunt doar rodul imaginației: wendigo, vampiri dragoni și vârcolaci.<br /><br />Oare va supraviețui Elayla sau va comite aceeași greșeală ca și Bianca?]]></book_description>

    <user_review><![CDATA[Aceasta este prima carte de literatură fantasy pe care o citesc și trebuie să mărturisesc că mi-a plăcut foarte mult. Nu m-aș fi așteptat să mă prindă atât de tare povestea. Să vreau să aflu aventurile Elaylei alături de familia Highsmith cu atâta nerăbdare. Adevărul este că, Ruxandra Popa, autoarea romanului, deși la o vârstă fragedă de numai 17 ani pe care îi avea când a publicat această carte în decembrie 2020, are o imaginație fantastică și un dar absolut impresionant de a crea atmosfera captivantă a romanului doar din dialog, care predomină întreaga poveste. Are și câteva pasaje descriptive, dar sunt scurte și introduse acolo unde se simțea nevoia mai multor detalii. <br /><br />Romanul este plin de pasiune, intrigi care mai de care mai surprinzătoare, elemente de imprevizibil și iubire declarată în forme diferite, care fac cititorul să refuze să lase cartea din mână până nu o termină. Cel puțin mie așa mi s-a întâmplat, deși, în primă fază, am fost destul de sceptică, pentru că nu credeam că mi se potrivește genul acesta de roman. Nu mai zic că finalul este atât de bun, încât crește curiozitatea de a citi imediat și cel de-al doilea volum. Din păcate, rămânem în așteptare până la publicarea acestuia din urmă, însă primul merită toată aprecierea! <br /><br />Ruxandra își dovedește talentul scriitoricesc prin tensiunea romanului și a dialogurilor spumoase, iar asta nu face decât să confirme că talentul de scriitor și-a găsit una dintre gazdele perfecte pentru a se manifesta într-o formă atât de frumoasă prin scrierile ei. Recomand cartea tuturor celor care vor să citească măcar o poveste fantastică foarte bine scrisă. Merită!<br /><br />Felicitări, Ruxandra, pentru tot ce ai ales să ne oferi prin seria ”Blestemații”! Abia aștept să citesc următoarele volume și să mă împrietenesc și cu alte personaje ale altor romane scrise de tine!]]></user_review>

    <book_description><![CDATA[E limpede ca si adultii au nevoie de povesti. Numai ca zanele lor si-au scurtat rochiile, si-au taiat parul care le ajungea candva la calcaie si au invatat sa fie femei, ceea ce e mult mai complicat si mai periculos decat meseria de zana. Un manunchi de istorii cu femei asadar, spuse simplu, captivant, de un povestas a carui viata seamana ca doua picaturi de roua cu a lui Mircea Cartarescu. In fiecare poveste e un sambure de neobisnuit care sta ascuns in carnea obisnuitului, in „ordinar" o samanta de extraordinar care da rod epic. Un omagiu (adesea in sensul cel mai concret, erotic, al cuvantului) adus femeilor „pentru ca sunt femei“. Intrebarile criticului: Cine spunea ca scriitorul roman a uitat sa povesteasca? Cine spunea ca e misogin?]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Când se poate trăi cu adevărat o iubire? În adolescență, la maturitate? Sau niciodată?<br /><br />Trecând prin prea multe experiențe tulburătoare, Miruna este constrânsă la o maturizare timpurie ce o pregătește pentru femeia care va deveni. Radiografia tulburătoare a sentimentului erotic se face din perspectiva ei, prin intermediul notițelor pe care i le scrie lui Radu. Sensibilitatea excesivă a fetei intră în disonanță cu acesta, personalitatea lui constituindu-se, fragment cu fragment, din trăirile, emoțiile și amintirile Mirunei.<br /><br />O poveste profundă, creionată pe fundalul cotidianului guvernat de aparențe, nu de esențe, și care îndeamnă cititorul să răspundă la întrebarea abil strecurată printre rândurile de o sensibilitate aparte: este iubirea un dar pentru oameni?]]></book_description>

    <user_review><![CDATA[”Notițe cu cerneală verde” este una dintre cele mai captivante cărți citite de până acum! Mi-a fost foarte greu să o las din mână și să mă ocup de celelalte responsabilități pe care le am. Am început să o citesc în metrou după ce am primit-o de la autoare și am plimbat-o apoi prin aproape toate camerele casei mele. Am citit când așteptam să mi se încălzească mâncarea, când îmi făceam ceaiul sau când făceam o mică pauză de la treburile zilnice. Romanul se citește foarte repede, iar asta i-o datorăm autoarei care a știut să îmbine cuvintele pentru a ne fermeca și a ne ține captivi în povestea ei. Iar dacă luăm în considerare vârsta de 18 ani a autoarei, pot spune că este o capodoperă pentru o scriitoare la început de drum. <br /><br />Maria Caranica dă dovadă de un curaj grozav aruncându-se să plaseze povestea într-un secol anterior creșterii și dezvoltării sale, precum și prin creionarea personajelor sale principale, Miruna și Radu, pentru care alege o vârstă superioară celei trăite de ea. Conturarea psihologiei masculine și feminine la vârsta de 20 de ani i-a ieșit bine în mare parte, iar acest aspect mi se pare, pe lângă un act de curaj, un avânt înflăcărat de autodepășire, de instruire în avans, precum și de studiu literar asiduu și cultivare a talentului scriitoricesc în egală măsură. <br /><br />Am fost impresionată de anumite construcții literare și de profunzimea unor pasaje, pe care le voi trece la ”quotes” și despre care pot spune că intuiesc a fi izvorâte dintr-un suflet de artist, care are multe puncte în comun cu vibrația poetică. Ca atare, nu m-ar mira, dacă în anii ce vor veni, Maria Caranica ne va invita și la lansarea unui volum de versuri. În calitate de autor de poezie și proză, care scrie de vreo 30 de ani poezie, am gustat cu poftă îmbinarea poetică a unor cuvinte alese cu grijă, pentru a exprima cât mai fidel, trăirea sentimentelor ce nu pot fi niciodată ”doar povestite”. <br /><br />Deși este scris de o adolescentă aflată la primii săi pași de autor, ”Notițe cu cerneală verde”, este un roman pentru toate vârstele! Iar asta se datorează talentului autoarei care ne poartă, fără să simțim, înapoi în timp, în propria noastră adolescență sau chiar maturitate, unde poate am am trăit chiar noi, sau poate o persoană dragă nouă, o poveste similară. Și asta pentru că psihologia masculină și feminină a personajelor principale Miruna și Radu, există manifestată în mulți adolescenți și chiar adulți care trăiesc sub influența unor experiențe de viață care le apasă anumite butoane sensibile, generând comportamente similare cu ale celor doi protagoniști ai romanului Mariei Caranica. <br /><br />În lumina celor de mai sus, vă invit să citiți ”Notițe cu cerneală verde”, un salt în timp pentru adulți și o poveste suculentă pentru adolescenți, care vă va scoate, cu siguranță, din cotidian. În plus, romanul este net superioar filmelor de duzină de pe Netflix, deci merită câteva ore din viața voastră!<br /> <br />Felicitări, Maria! Abia aștept să citesc volumul II! ]]></user_review>

    <book_description><![CDATA[إن هذا الكتاب لمؤلفته الدكتورة كلاريسا بنكولا الباحثة "اليونجية" والقصاصة البارزة هو المعجم السيكولوجي للأنوثة الغزيرة والمبتهجة والمتفردة، تستدعي فيه الطبيعة الوحشية للحياة، وتسترجع المناطق المنسية والمهملة في النفس الأنثوية الحقيقية، ونبتهج بها ابتهاجاً أصيلاً وعارفاً. وعن طريق توصيل الرسائل التي تحملها القصص الخالدة -مثل "بلوبيرد" و "الحذاء الأحمر" و "العذراء بلا يدين"- إلي حياتنا المعاصرة، نتنبه إلي المرأة الوحشية القابعة في أعماق نفوسنا، التي هي السحر والدواء.<br /><br /> ويبين لنا كتاب "نساء يركضن مع الذئاب" كيف أن الوحشية الأنثوية هي خاصية إيجابية وضرورية لكل النساء من أجل أن يبذرن ويحرثن، وتدلل كلاريسا بنكولا علي أن طبيعة المرأة الأصلية قد قمعها على مر القرون نظام ما للقيمة، يعادي صدق المشاعر والحكمة الحدسية والثقة الغريزية بالنفس.<br /><br /> تحزم "المرأة الوحشية" أمتعتها، وتأخذ زادها لطريق الشفاء، وتحمل معها كل شئ تحتاجه المرأة لكي تكون وتعرف، لديها الدواء لكل الأشياء، القصص والأحلام والكلمات والأغاني والعلامات والرموز، فهي الرفيق والطريق.]]></book_description>

    <user_review><![CDATA[The second volume of the book ”Uprooted” is called ”We Won!”. This book has a new rhythm, a new story, and a flavor of imagined capitalism confronted with the real one. The way Adina chooses to describe the French culture is unique. She mixes reality with her exquisite taste for humor, and the result is making you laugh out loud. If you had had already an experience with French culture especially in business, you will recognize all the typologies described in this book. <br />On the other hand, Adina is mixing the story of the new life of the main character, Anda, with her memories of her childhood. Her granny was her root and her model of a strong woman, her mother was her taste for elegant life, while her father was the voice of her consciousness. All the memories she brings up, are full of lessons. But the most beautiful part is the way she tells these stories. Using a lot of her taste for good jokes, the childhood stories of her main character are so funny and make the reader laugh out loud a lot. <br />So, if you enjoy a mix of funny yet profound stories, this is the book you should read. The book is available in Romanian (biggest Romanian book shops), and in French on Amazon. Enjoy! <br />]]></user_review>

    <book_description><![CDATA[      This book is a collection of 15 dialogues that occurred throughout the United States and Europe with <b>Byron Katie. </b>Some of the people who worked with Katie have painful illnesses, others are lovelorn or in messy divorces. Some are simply irritated with a co-worker or worried about money. What they all have in common is a willingness to question, with Katie’s help, the painful thoughts that are the true cause of their suffering. In every case we see how Katie’s acute mind and fierce kindness helps each person dismantle for themselves what is felt to be unshakable reality.<br /><br /><br />Although these dialogues make fascinating reading—some are both hilarious and deeply moving at once—they are intended primarily as teaching tools. Each took place in front of an audience, and Katie never lost connection with that audience, repeatedly reminding each person in the room to follow the dialogues inwardly, asking themselves the questions the participant must ask. The dialogue between Katie and these volunteers is an external enactment of precisely the kind of dialogue each person can have with their own thoughts. The results, even in the seemingly most dire situation, can be unimagined freedom and joy.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[În această carte,autorul vorbește deschis despre propria inadaptare, despre descompunerea propriei familii, dar și despre o notă ocultă, care se insinuează treptat în corpul textului. <br /><br />Aceasta din urmă deschide la rândul ei o perspectivă asupra istoriei, perspectivă care încearcă, în cele din urmă, să arate în ce fel ajung oamenii să fie condiționați (a se citi striviți) de vremurile în care trăiesc. <br /><br />În cele din urmă însă, povestea este și despre felul în care oamenii pot merge înainte în ciuda oricărui obstacol și, nu în ultimul rând, despre puterea fabuloasă pe care ne-o dă fiecăruia dintre noi simplul fapt de a ne urma visul.]]></book_description>

    <user_review><![CDATA[O carte plină! Plină de multe informații ”criptate”, într-un fel, sub forma unor mărturisiri pe care un tată le face fiicei sale. O carte care nu se citește ușor și pe care fiica cred că ar trebui să aibă o anumită cunoaștere să o înțeleagă, așa cum i-ar fi de folos și cititorului. <br /><br />Deși are doar 128 de pagini, nu se citește ușor. Sunt pasaje asupra cărora te poți opri să reflectezi, sau chiar să identifici informația furnizată despre practicile franc-masoneriei sau ale anumitor culturi spirituale pentru a înțelege mesajul din spate. <br /><br />Ceea ce poate surprinde încă de la început, este felul în care alege să pună în pagină autorul această ”confesiune”. Frazele par puse pe hârtie exact așa cum curg în mintea unui om care intersectează planuri, informații sau gânduri. Pot părea haotice, mai ales că sunt lungi, dar dacă te gândești puțin, este o imagine destul de fidelă a labirintului minții. O reflectare interesantă a ceea ce șivaiții sau tibetanii, de exemplu, numesc Maya. Iar finalul este fascinant pentru că autorul alege să ”decripteze” cumva mesajul cărții prin referirile pe care le face la acest concept. ]]></user_review>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Lumea mă știe drept alergător de anduranță. Ce nu știe, însă, e povestea vieților mele paralele. Am fost pe rând: slugă la ciobani pe Bârgaie, porcar în armata română, azilant politic în Berlin, pizzar într-un restaurant italian, bodyguard la un interlop sârb, martor într-o galerie de alba-neagra în Gran Canaria și autor de jafuri armate. Am evadat din două închisori europene, dar nu și din a treia.<br /><br />Vânat prin Interpol, am devenit client al unei pușcării de maximă securitate. Drept urmare, timp de aproape 10 ani am lipsit la apel din propria tinerețe, închis complet singur între 4 ziduri albe, foarte groase.<br /><br />Cei care au auzit de mine după ce am câștigat 6633 Arctic Ultra vor descoperi în această carte povestea mea așa cum n-o știe și n-a auzit-o nimeni, niciodată. La fel și cei care, fără să fi întrebat înainte, m-au ales ca subiect al examenului de capacitate la limba română.]]></book_description>

    <user_review><![CDATA[O carte scrisă cu suflet despre alte suflete, respectiv despre noi toți. O carte pe care o poți pătrunde doar dacă ești pregătit pentru o astfel de călătorie spre propriul sine, prin intermediul experienței lui Mell. O carte ce se citește la momentul potrivit. Eu am primit-o de la autoare în urmă cu doi ani și jumătate și abia acum am citit-o. Am început-o spre finalul lui 2021, dar nu a curs. Pentru că se citește și se gustă în profunzime într-o anumită stare a ființei proprii, nu oricând. Ci în acel moment potrivit despre care vorbeam la început.<br /><br />Lumile prezentate de Melania prin cadre care se suprapun, pot fi confuzante la început. Iar dacă nu ești un cititor curios și răbdător, poți renunța. Sau dacă nu ești în ”acea stare”. Însă dacă perseverezi, vei descoperi sau redescoperi adevăruri care vor rezona în adâncul ființei tale, pentru că sunt ”Tot Ceea Ce Este”, cum spune Anniel. <br /><br />Un ”mister” al adevărului absolut prezentat într-o manieră unică aș putea spune că este această carte. Este vocea lui Anniel și modul de transmitere a unui mesaj pe care Melania îl descifrează și-l așterne pe hârtie pentru noi toți cei care ”trebuie” să venim în contact cu el. Iar dacă este și pentru tine, vei căuta îndată această carte și nu te vei opri din lectură până la ultima pagină.]]></user_review>

    <book_description><![CDATA[De peste jumatate de secol, eminentul psihiatru Irvin Yalom uimeste lumea cu povestile sale despre psihicul uman, impletite cu intelepciune, intelegere si umor. Acum, cu o sinceritate si un curaj uluitoare, ne impartaseste cea mai dificila experienta din viata sa: pierderea sotiei, statornica sa tovarasa de viata inca din adolescenta. Parteneri pana la sfarsit, pana si in scrierea impreuna a acestei carti, cei doi ne comunica un portret trainic al doliului - teroarea, durerea, negarea si acceptarea reticenta. Dar ceea ce ne ramane este mult mai mult decat o poveste profunda despre pierderea durabila - este o poveste de neuitat, dureroasa si frumoasa despre iubirea care dainuie. Ma voi gandi la asta in anii ce vor veni. - Lori Gottlieb, New York Times, autoarea bestsellerului Poate ar fi bine sa discuti cu cineva<br /><br />Scriind aceasta carte, suntem la o varsta la care cei mai multi dintre cei de-o seama cu noi au murit. Traim acum in fiecare zi stiind ca timpul nostru impreuna este limitat si extrem de pretios. Scriem pentru a da un sens existentei noastre, chiar daca ne azvarle in cele mai intunecate zone ale declinului fizic si-n bratele mortii. Aceasta carte este menita, inainte de orice, sa ne ajute sa navigam pe apele sfarsitului vietii. - Irvin D. Yalom si Marilyn Yalom<br /><br />Aceasta este o carte remarcabila - la fel de remarcabila precum autorii sai, Irvin Yalom, maestrul psihoterapiei existentiale si autor citit in lumea intreaga, si Marilyn Yalom, o desavarsita erudita si scriitoare. Facand dovada unui imens curaj, sotii Yalom scriu impreuna povestea grijii emotionale si morale pe care si-o poarta unul altuia. A Matter of Death and Life este punctul culminant al cautarii intelepciunii de-o viata a cuplului Yalom in arta de a trai si de a muri. Este o carte care transforma cititorul - n-am mai putut s-o las din mana. - Arthur Kleinman, autor al The Soul of Care: The Moral Education of a Husband and Doctor<br /><br />Irvin D. Yalom este profesor emerit de psihiatrie la Universitatea Stanford si autorul mai multor carti cu success international. Marilyn Yalom este autoarea cartilor A History of the Wife, Birth of the Chess Queen, How the French Invented Love si Innocent Witnesses: Childhood Memories of World War II, publicata postum. Cei doi au fost casatoriti timp de 65 de ani.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[In secolul XXIII, parintele iezuit Francisco Morales de Acantara este hotarit sa-i converteasca la credinta intru Hristos pe indigenii altor lumi. El crede cu tarie in menirea sa de misionar si nu se da inapoi de la nimic pentru a s-o implini. Chiar daca asta inseamna pierderea oricarei posibilitati de intoarcere spre comunitatea umana... Chiar daca, in final, confruntarea cu extraterestri poate insemna moartea..]]></book_description>

From the very first page of Eckhart Tolle's extraordinary book, we move rapidly into a significantly higher altitude where we breathe a lighter air. We become connected to the indestructible essence of our Being, “The eternal, ever present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death.” Although the journey is challenging, Eckhart Tolle uses simple language and an easy question-and-answer format to guide us.<br /><br />A word-of-mouth phenomenon since its first publication, <i>The Power of Now</i> is one of those rare books with the power to create an experience in readers, one that can radically change their lives for the better.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK 2025<br /><br />#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER<br /><br />“As we welcome a new year, I wanted to revisit the book that had more effect on me than any other book by a living author has had on my perception of how I understand my connection to the world.” —Oprah Winfrey (Oprah’s Book Club January 2025)<br /><br />With his bestselling spiritual guide The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle inspired millions of readers to discover the freedom and joy of a life lived “in the now.” In A New Earth, Tolle expands on these powerful ideas to show how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world. Tolle describes how our attachment to the ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy, and unhappiness, and shows readers how to awaken to a new state of consciousness and follow the path to a truly fulfilling existence.<br /><br />Illuminating, enlightening, and uplifting, A New Earth is a profoundly spiritual manifesto for a better way of life—and for building a better world.]]></book_description>

Not having enough money or not having good health puts you in the perfect position for creating more of that which you do not have. This book has been written to deliberately align you with the most powerful law in the universe—the Law of Attraction—so that you can make it work specifically for you.Money, and the Law of Attraction is formatted in five, vibrant I – Processing of Pivoting and Positive AspectsPart II – Attracting Money and Manifesting AbundancePart III – Maintaining Your Physical Well-BeingPart IV – Perspectives of Health, Weight, and MindPart V – Careers, as Profitable Sources of PleasureAlso included is a free CD (excerpted from a live Abraham-Hicks workshop) that features the Art of Allowing your physical and financial well-being to come through.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[“Do you believe in ghosts?” Annette just sort of blurted out.<br /><br />Sara and Seth both looked up with surprise. “Well,” Sara stalled, “I guess I do.” She remembered the night Solomon had visited her in her bedroom after Jason and Jimmy had shot him, but she hadn’t really thought about him being a ghost that night; she’d just been so glad to see her beloved feathered friend.<br /><br />Sara and Seth looked at each other. Both of them knew that if anything would fall into the category of ghosts, Solomon would most likely be it, but they didn’t say anything, uncertain about telling their new friend their special secret.<br /><br />“Well, do <i>you</i> believe in ghosts?” Seth asked, looking intently at Annette’s serious face.<br /><br />Annette looked at Seth and then at Sara, who both sat quietly, each waiting to hear the answer.<br /><br />“No, I just wondered if <i>you</i> did,” Annette answered abruptly. “Hey, let’s swing.” And without taking the time to execute a perfectly calculated leap from the platform as she usually did, Annette grabbed the swinging rope and jumped off as if she couldn’t do so fast enough. . . .<i></i>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[From that opening exclamation, this second Sara novel rampages through chapter after chapter of fun and adventure.<br /><br />Solomon (the owl from the first book who "speaks without moving his lips") reappears and gives Sara and her classmate Seth a fresh and enlightening perspective on life on this planet.<br /><br />Simply put, these two adventurous, tree-climbing friends dialogue with their ethereal feathered mentor regarding their varied (and sometimes confusing) experiences with parents, teachers, other students, neighbors, and property owners. The clarity, understanding, and wisdom that Solomon gives them results in some surprisingly practical views on the rules of the game of life. This is a must-read book for young people of all ages!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Na zich jarenlang te hebben verdiept in het innerlijk leven van zijn cliënten, verlegt vooraanstaand psychiater Irvin D. Yalom in zijn roman De therapeut zijn aandacht naar de andere kant van de therapeutische relatie: die van de therapeut zelf. Zoals Seymour, een al wat oudere therapeut die seksuele fatsoensnormen op geheel eigen wijze interpreteert. Of Marshal die, achtervolgd door dwangneuroses, geld een wat ongelukkige rol laat spelen. Of Ernest Lash die bij wijze van experiment echt 'eerlijk' wordt met een patiënt... Zij en andere therapeuten gaan met elkaar en een aantal hoogst eigenzinnige patiënten relaties aan die in deze meeslepende roman tot een onverwachte, bijna thrillerachtige ontknoping komen.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Bestselling author of Love's Executioner and The Gift of Therapy,   psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom probes further into the mysteries of the therapeutic encounter in this entertaining and thoughtful collection. In six enthralling stories drawn from his own clinical experience, Irvin D. Yalom once again proves himself an intrepid explorer of the human psyche as he guides his patients--and himself--toward transformation. With eloquent detail and sharp-eyed observation Yalom introduces us to a memorable cast of characters. Drifting through his dreams and trampling through his thoughts are Paula, Yalom's "courtesan of death"; Myrna, whose eavesdropping gives new meaning to patient confidentiality; Magnolia, into whose ample lap Yalom longs to pour his own sorrows, even as he strives to ease hers; and Momma--ill-tempered, overpowering, and suffocating her son with both love and disapproval. A richly rewarding, almost illicit glimpse into the therapist's heart and mind, Momma and the Meaning of Life illuminates the unique potential of every human relationship.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The collection of ten absorbing tales by master psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom uncovers the mysteries, frustrations, pathos, and humor at the heart of the therapeutic encounter.  In recounting his patients' dilemmas, Yalom not only gives us a rare and enthralling glimpse into their personal desires and motivations but also tells us his own story as he struggles to reconcile his all-too human responses with his sensibility as a psychiatrist.  Not since Freud has an author done so much to clarify what goes on between a psychotherapist and a patient.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Written in Irv Yalom's inimitable story-telling style, Staring at the Sun is a profoundly encouraging approach to the universal issue of mortality. In this magisterial opus, capping a lifetime of work and personal experience, Dr. Yalom helps us recognize that the fear of death is at the heart of much of our anxiety. Such recognition is often catalyzed by an "awakening experience"—a dream, or loss (the death of a loved one, divorce, loss of a job or home), illness, trauma, or aging. Once we confront our own mortality, Dr. Yalom writes, we are inspired to rearrange our priorities, communicate more deeply with those we love, appreciate more keenly the beauty of life, and increase our willingness to take the risks necessary for personal fulfillment.]]></book_description>
