Iaiá Garcia

Iaiá Garcia

Luís Garcia era funcionário público. Desde 1860 elegera no lugar menos povoado de Santa Teresa uma habitação modesta, onde se meteu a si e a sua viuvez. Não era frade, mas queria como eles a solidão e o sossego. A solidão não era absoluta, nem o sossêgo ininterrupto; mas eram sempre maiores e mais certos que cá embaixo. Os frades que, na puerícia da cidade, se tinham alojado nas outras colinas, desciam muita vez, ou quando o exigia o sacro ministério, ou quando o governo precisava da espada canônica, e as ocasiões não eram raras; mas geralmente em derredor de suas casas não ia soar a voz da labutação civil.

The Start, 1904–1930

The Start, 1904–1930

The former CBS foreign correspondent provides an invaluable look back at his life—and the events that forged the twentieth century.   A renowned journalist and author of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, William L. Shirer chronicles his own life story—in a personal history that parallels the greater historical events for which he served as a witness. In the first of a three-volume series, Shirer tells of his early life, growing up in Cedar Rapids, and later serving as a new reporter in Paris. In this surprisingly intimate account, Shirer details his youthful challenges, setbacks, rebellions, and insights into the world around him. He offers personal accounts of his friendships with notable people including Isadora Duncan, Ernest Hemingway, and Sinclair Lewis.   This fascinating personal account also provides an illuminating look into a lost pre-World War II era—and is notable as much for its historical value as for its autobiographical detail. Ideal for anyone fascinated by this period in history.

Pablo

¿Quién era ese hombre que provocaba verdaderas revoluciones por donde pasaba? ¿Cuáles eran sus credenciales? ¿Quiénes eran sus padres? ¿Dónde nació? ¿Cómo fue educado? ¿Qué convicciones religiosas le orientaron los pasos? Sus cartas aun hablan. Su voz póstuma es poderosa. Aun hoy millares de personas son bendecidas por su vida y por su legado. Ahora, sólo nos cabe imitar a ese hombre como él imitó a Cristo. Hernandes Dias Lopes nos invita a realizar un fascinante viaje por medio de las Escrituras rumbo al pasado, entrando por los corredores del tiempo, con la finalidad de descubrir esas respuestas y permitir que sus palabras hablen a nuestros corazones.

La vita s'impara

La vita s'impara

Arrivato alla soglia dei novant'anni, dopo aver affascinato i suoi lettori con i segreti della Storia, della musica e della religione, Corrado Augias racconta l'avventura di una vita, la sua. E con grande talento di narratore, evoca l'infanzia in Libia, il ritorno a Roma, l'incubo dell'occupazione tedesca, il collegio cattolico, i primi passi nel giornalismo, e poi «Telefono giallo» e «la Repubblica». È un racconto che ha il calore e l'empatia della conversazione tra amici: la vita s'impara, ci dice Augias - soprattutto se non si perdono mai la curiosità intellettuale e la passione civile. A quasi novant'anni, Corrado Augias è un prezioso testimone del cambiamento. L'Italia di oggi - esclusi gli eterni vizi nazionali - assomiglia poco a quella di ieri. Augias ci racconta l'infanzia passata in Libia al seguito del padre ufficiale della Regia Aeronautica; la guerra e i bombardamenti; l'incubo di una feroce e lugubre occupazione; gli anni in un collegio cattolico, per lui che oggi si confessa ateo. E poi la vita professionale, il giornalismo, i libri, le fortunate circostanze che lo hanno reso partecipe di tre eventi importanti nella vita culturale del paese: la nascita della Direzione centrale programmi culturali della Rai; la fondazione del giornale «la Repubblica» nel 1976, il rilancio di RaiTre nel 1987. L'invenzione di alcuni fortunati programmi televisivi da «Telefono giallo» a «Babele», da «Città segrete» alla piú recente creatura «La gioia della musica», ultimo programma ideato per la Rai prima del passaggio a La7 ancora una volta con un fortunato programma di cultura: «La Torre di Babele». Accadimenti che sono però solo la parte pubblica di un percorso che ha una componente intima ancora piú interessante: il lungo apprendistato a una matura dimensione d'intellettuale. Agli eventi che hanno scandito la sua vita, Augias affianca le letture di cui s'è nutrito e dalle quali ha «imparato a vivere». Da Tito Lucrezio Caro a Renan, da Feuerbach a Freud e poi Spinoza, Manzoni, Beethoven, Nietzsche, Leopardi, i suoi maestri sono pensatori, poeti, narratori, musicisti: una costellazione ampia che non esita a chiamare il suo pantheon, figure che hanno arricchito il suo percorso professionale e, insieme, la sua consapevolezza di cittadino.

The Wit and Wisdom of Barack Obama

The Wit and Wisdom of Barack Obama

Quotes captures your subconscious mind, which forms 90% of your total mind. The subconscious mind is the creative mind. So, when it is frequently filled with positive commands it will bring an overall change in your overall personality. Most of the quotes will hardly take you 10-20 seconds to swallow. However the message contained in these quotes are quite heavy, which will be sufficient for months or even years. If you closely make a study of quotes, you will come to see, they were not created, rather it happened by accident. Great leaders and visionaries say things from their life experience which will be picked up by their followers and they will publicize it to the world. So it is not sold to you, rather it is passed from generation to generation, like a rare gem. “Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. It’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.” - Barack Obama President Barack Obama is the 44th and current president of the United States, and the first African American to serve as U.S. president. First elected to the presidency in 2008, he won a second term in 2012. President Obama has inspired and given hope to many around the world. His words and his actions are ones that people need during the times we are currently living in. “Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. And it will leave you unfulfilled.” - Barack Obama

Seven Men

Seven Men

In Seven Men, New York Times bestselling author Eric Metaxas presents seven exquisitely crafted portraits of widely known--but not well understood--Christian men, each of whom uniquely showcases a commitment to live by certain virtues in the truth of the gospel.Each of the seven men profiled--George Washington, William Wilberforce, Eric Liddell, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Jackie Robinson, John Paul II, and Charles Colson--call us to a more elevated way of living, one that embodies the gospel in the world around us.All seven biographies represent the life of a man who experienced the struggles and challenges to be strong in the face of forces and circumstances that would have destroyed the resolve of lesser men.Seven Men asks and answers pressing questions, including:What does it take to be a true exemplar as a father, brother, husband, leader, coach, counselor, change agent, and wise man?What does it mean to stand for honesty, courage, and charity?Written in a beautiful and engaging style, Seven Men addresses what it means to be a man today, at a time when media and popular culture present images of masculinity that are not the picture presented in Scripture and historic civil life--encouraging us to think critically, act honorably, and lead by example.Praise for Seven Men:"This is a book to read, to read aloud to others, and then read again. In a day when children are growing up stunted because of our diet of empty-headed celebrities and contemptible villains, true heroism and manliness needs special nourishment. Eric Metaxas has done it again, and again we are in his debt."--Os Guinness, author of A Free People's Suicide"What is true manhood? And what makes a man in our 21st century? These are vital questions that my friend Eric Metaxas helps us wrestle with in this great new book. In looking back to seven outstanding men of history, Eric helps us understand the essential elements of manhood in any age. This is a superb work--and I highly recommend it."--The Hon. Gregory W. Slayton, author of national bestseller Be a Better Dad Today

Campo del sangue

Campo del sangue

Campo del sangue è il resoconto di un viaggio da Venezia ad Auschwitz, compiuto per gran parte a piedi, sulle orme delle vittime e dei carnefici, intrapreso da Eraldo Affinati insieme a un amico poeta. Un viaggio di conoscenza e di coscienza verso l'incommensurabilità del Male, sotto la guida ideale dei protagonisti della formazione umana e culturale dell'autore: il nonno partigiano, la madre sfuggita alla deportazione, gli autori più amati, i testimoni del massacro. Alternando diario e memoria, racconto e vicende familiari, riflessione etica e interrogativi religiosi, Campo del sangue dà al lettore la possibilità di gettare uno sguardo sulla voragine della natura umana e di scoprire, accanto ai fantasmi di un passato che ancora ci ossessiona, le carte necessarie a capire il secolo più sanguinario della nostra storia.

So schnell die Finger tippen

So schnell die Finger tippen

„Wie wird man Schriftsteller?“ ist eine der am häufigsten gestellten Fragen an Autorinnen und Autoren. Besonders schreibbegeisterte Menschen, die davon träumen, eines Tages das Schreiben ebenfalls zum Beruf zu machen, möchten wissen, ob es ein Patentrezept gibt und vor allem, wie das reale Schriftstellerleben jenseits aller Klischees und Bestseller-„Hypes“ aussieht. Die Krimi- und Science-Fiction-Autorin Mara Laue beschreibt in diesem Buch ihren langen und oft steinigen Weg von der begeisterten Leseratte zur Berufsautorin. Sie legt damit nicht nur ein Zeitzeugnis über fast fünf Jahrzehnte ab, sondern hält auch ein nachdrückliches Plädoyer dafür, die eigene Ziele und Träume niemals aufzugeben.

Au hasard de la chance

Au hasard de la chance

Un livre passionnant. Homme d'affaires, président d'importantes sociétés, sportif impénitent, voyageur intrépide, ayant le goût du risque, Jean de Beaumont nous emmène sur les chemins d'une existence qui a traversé les décors les plus divers : l'Indochine française et les champs de courses parisiens, l'Inde des maharadjahs et l'aviation de 1939, l'Italie mussolinienne et les coulisses de la IIIe République, l'Amérique de Roosevelt et les savanes du Cambodge, le Cercle Interallié et les mines de l'Extrême-Sud chilien. Grand chasseur sous tous les cieux, il évoque ses équipées en Alsace, au Kenya, en Inde, dans les brumes de l'Écosse, le delta du Guadalquivir ; sur les traces du brocard, de l'antilope, du tigre ou du gaur asiatique, le plus grand bovidé du monde, ou à l'affût du vol de la perdrix rouge d'Espagne. Personnages célèbres, aventures, anecdotes, drames et comédies de la vie, emplissent ce récit mené au grand trot, avec le style alerte d'un homme d'action et le regard aigu d'un amoureux de la vie qui sait aussi faire rire, émouvoir parfois, surprendre souvent, passionner toujours. Renouant avec une tradition, qui va des mémoires du cardinal de Retz, ou de Lauzun, aux chefs-d'œuvre du grand reportage, c'est à une véritable légende du siècle, fourmillante de vie, de couleurs et de contrastes, de la Belle Époque à nos jours, que nous convie ce livre qui ne peut pas décevoir.

L'educazione

L'educazione

Tara, la sorella Audrey e i fratelli Luke e Richard sono nati in una singolare famiglia mormona delle montagne dell’Idaho. Non sono stati registrati all’anagrafe, non sono mai andati a scuola, non sono mai stati visitati da un dottore. Sono cresciuti senza libri, senza sapere cosa succede nel mondo o cosa sia il passato. Fin da piccolissimi hanno aiutato i genitori nei loro lavori: in estate stufare le erbe per la madre ostetrica e guaritrice, in inverno lavorare nella discarica del padre, per recuperare metalli. Fino a diciassette anni Tara non aveva idea di cosa fosse l’Olocausto o l’attacco alle Torri gemelle. Con la sua famiglia si preparava alla sicura fine del mondo, accumulando lattine di pesche sciroppate e dormendo con uno zaino d’emergenza sempre a portata di mano. Il clima in casa era spesso pesante. Il padre è un uomo dostoevskiano, carismatico quanto folle e incosciente, fino a diventare pericoloso. Il fratello maggiore Shawn è chiaramente disturbato e diventa violento con le sorelle. La madre cerca di difenderle, ma rimane fedele alle sue credenze e alla sottomissione femminile prescritta. Poi Tara fa una scoperta: l’educazione. La possibilità di emanciparsi, di vivere una vita diversa, di diventare una persona diversa. Una rivelazione. Tara Westover dimostra una capacità di introspezione che distingue i grandi scrittori, creando una storia universale di formazione che mira al cuore di ciò che l’educazione ha da offrire: la prospettiva di vedere la propria vita con occhi nuovi e la volontà di cambiarla.

Memoiren: Geschichte meines Lebens. Band 3

Memoiren: Geschichte meines Lebens. Band 3

Die "Memoiren" erzählen die Geschichte des Giacomo Casanova, von ihm selbst verfasst. Wer in diesem autobiografischen Roman eine Menge wolllüstiger Begebenheiten erwartet, wird nicht enttäuscht. Das Buch erzählt unverblümt von den erotischen Eroberungen des kompromisslosen Hedonisten. Nicht umsonst gilt Casanova als größter Verführer aller Zeiten. Sein Ruf eilte ihm voraus und öffnete ihm die Türen und Schöße sämtlicher Damen der feinen Gesellschaft. Selbst Katharina die Große soll seinem Charme erlegen sein. Aber die Geschichte von Casanovas Leben ist noch viel mehr als das. Er war nicht nur angeblicher Liebhaber der russischen Zarin und unzähliger anderer. Er besuchte alle wichtigen europäischen Höfe und Metropolen und begegnete vielen bedeutenden Menschen seiner Zeit. Casanova lernte Päpste kennen, sprach mit Friedrich II. in Sanssouci, traf auf Rousseau und lieferte sich Wortgefechte mit Voltaire. Er verkehrte mit Da Ponte, Crébillon, von Haller, Winckelmann und Mengs. Und selbst mit Mozart soll er Kontakt gehabt haben, als dieser an seinem “Don Giovanni” arbeitete. In Polen duellierte er sich mit einem Adligen in Konkurrenz um eine Dame. Er war Flüchtling der Bleikammern Venedigs und Geheimagent der Inquisition. Giacomo Casanova war eine sprichwörtliche Legende. Seine unzähligen Abenteuergeschichten nehmen uns mit auf eine unvergleichliche Reise in die Zeit. Die Memoiren Casanovas zählen zur Weltliteratur und wurden in mehr als zwanzig Sprachen übersetzt. Das insgesamt etwa 5000 Seiten starke Werk ist trotz seines gewaltigen Umfangs kurzweilig und unterhaltsam, aber vor allem auch kulturhistorisch interessant: Landschaften, Städte und Personen des gesamteuropäischen 18. Jahrhunderts breiten sich vor unseren Augen aus. Und natürlich immer wieder: die Schenkel der Frauen, zwischen denen Casanova Glück und Erfüllung sucht. Begleiten wir den großen Abenteurer und Verführer auf seinen Reisen, und werfen wir einen Blick durch die Schlüssellöcher in die Salons und Boudoirs der feinen Gesellschaft des 18. Jahrhunderts. Nirgends sonst finden sich Spannung, Frivolität, Sinnlichkeit und philosophische Überlegungen in solch verdichteter Lebensbeschreibung. "Das ganze 18. Jahrhundert tummelt sich in seinen Memoiren und lacht, und räsoniert, und hurt, in keinem anderen Buch ist es so lebendig, so deutlich, so zum Riechen, Fühlen, Schmecken nah." (Hermann Kesten) Dieses ist der dritte Band von insgesamt sechs Bänden. Sein Umfang beträgt ca. 890 Druckseiten.

Aleister Crowley: The Biography

Aleister Crowley: The Biography

In early 20th-century England, Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) was considered "the wickedest man in the world." Today he's seen as a prophet, a master of the occult, and a spiritual pioneer—and his reputation just keeps on growing. This new biography, written with the cooperation of leading Crowley scholars and including new revelations from Crowley's grandson, displays the full scope of the man's many achievements as poet, explorer, spiritualist, wartime spy, and a thinker as significant as Jung, Freud, or Einstein.
