"S-a întâmplat la un moment dat ceva iesit din comun. Miracolul Occidentului. Ar fi putut sa nu se întâmple? Cine poate sti? S-a ivit o civilizatie altfel decât celelalte, care a împins omenirea pe drumul unde se afla astazi. Aroganta Occidentului a fost pe masura. În raport cu "ceilalti", puterea lui a atins o cota înspaimântatoare. Ne dam seama astazi ca a fost doar o faza a istoriei. Dar a putut sa para - atât de mare ajunsese sa fie distanta - ca e un dat fundamental al unei umanitati ierarhizate." (Lucian BOIA)

Dale Carnegie spunea că "succesul înseamnă să obţii ceea ce vrei, iar fericirea înseamnă să vrei ceea ce ai obţinut". Dar ce anume îşi doresc oamenii? Ei bine, de cele mai multe ori, e vorba despre o carieră ascendentă, prieteni de încredere, o familie iubitoare, un trai decent... şi altele asemenea. Desigur, motivele pentru care un om îşi doreşte ceva anume sunt complet personale, însă metodele prin care îşi poate atinge obiectivul sunt general valabile. Iar metodele din cartea de faţă au fost testate de peste 15 milioane de cititori de pe cinci continente, pe parcursul a trei sferturi de secol.

Ce inseamna, de fapt, "Comedii la portile Orientului"? Inseamna mai multe: umor tonic, haz vehement, ochi critic fixat asupra subrezeniilor indigene, verva cotropitoare, limbaj luxuriant si un farmec al rostirii care nu se obtine din dictionare si compendii. Aveti de-a face, asadar, cu un audiobook de gala. Rostul lui e sa ne binedispuna si sa ne reconecteze la literatura pura. Caci dincolo de eventuala lor miza pedagogic-moralizatoare, Comediile asta sunt: bucati sau mai degraba bucate literare, din care nu lipseste nici o mirodenie si care alcatuiesc un ospat de neuitat.

S-ar putea ca trecerea noastră pe pământ să capete altă forţă când, în strădania naturală spre fericire, suntem puși în situaţia de a compune un destin nu cu bunăstarea, răsfăţul și trufia marilor popoare, ci cu suferinţa celor insignifiante."

"Ne mândrim în asemenea masura cu Eminescu, încât aproape ca nu mai simtim nevoia sa-l citim. Ni se pare ca îl cunoaștem. Nu e el ilustrarea suprema a virtutilor nationale? Nu e el justificarea noastra în absolut? Numai ca, redus la efigie, la poza de manual, poetul risca sa fie uitat. Eminescu nu înseamna doar Luceafarul, Scrisoarea a III-a, Somnoroase pasarele sau Pe lînga plopii fara soș. E mult mai mult si e altfeldecât l-am fixat în memoria noastra. E grav, dar se si joaca, e trist, dar poate fi si binedispus, e solemn si profetic, dar poate sa fie si ironic sau plictisit. Asta am încercat sa arat prin versurile pe care am ales sa le citesc pentru dumneavoastra." (Andrei PLESU)

Paris, Cartierul Latin, într-una din mansardele pamântului: istoria otravita a sfîrsitului nostru de mileniu s-a petrecut în afara acestui spatiu nespus de modest, dar abia aici, sub acoperisul de pe strada Odéon 21, s-a nascut opera care avea sa devina constiinta nefericirii noastre. Autorul ei, un Nietzsche contemporan trecut pe la scoala moralistilor francezi, a fost pe rând considerat nihilistul veacului, the king of pessimists, scepticul de serviciu al unei lumi în declin.

"Draga tata, M-ai întrebat odata, acum de curând, de ce sustin ca mi-e frica de tine. Ca de obicei, n-am stiut ce sa-ti raspund, în parte tocmai pentru ca mi-e frica de tine, în parte pentru ca frica asta se întemeiaza pe prea multe elemente ca sa ti le pot enumera macar pe jumatate stând de vorba cu tine. Si daca încerc acum sa-ti raspund în scris, raspunsul meu va fi foarte incomplet, pentru ca si în scris, frica si urmarile ei ma paralizeaza în fata ta si pentru ca proportiile acestei situatii depasesc cu mult puterile memoriei si ratiunii mele."

Prima poveste e despre o dragoste târzie la Paris. A doua despre îngerii de lângă noi. În cea de-a treia veți simți un puternic miros de terebentină, iar în a patra, parfum de crini regali. A cincea vă aduce în auz un nume care zgârie și unul care mângâie. Prima poveste are miză și pariază pe nenoroc. A doua cade din fantastic în lumea noastră cea de toate zilele. A treia are realism, râs, nerv. A patra inocență, umor, visare. A cincea, cu ironie, face poezie și economie (politică).

Ecolul 19 este o alta planeta. Iti trebuie un anume spirit de aventura ca sa te intorci acolo, asumandu-ti riscul de a trai, zi de zi, exact ca oamenii vremii, de a te obisnui cu felul lor energic de a fi, cu regulile lor de conversatie, cu numeroasele lor obiecte de imbracaminte obligatoriu de purtat in acelasi timp pe unul si-acelasi trup, cu caii si cu servitorii lor, cu inima lor moale si cu taria lor de caracter, cu oala lor de noapte si cu balurile lor, cu teribilele lor pistoale si cu neajutorarea ingrozitoare in fata bolii, cu miasmele, cu parfumurile si cu sarurile lor, cu puricii si plosnitele dezgustatoare din hanurile lor, cu privatele din curte, cu scrisorile lor enorme si cu felul atat de direct in care ti se adreseaza chiar tie, cititorule, in romanele lor. Dar riscul cel mare este sa te deprinzi cu increderea lor absoluta intr-un viitor care tie, celui venit de acolo, din viitorul in care credeau ei atat de frumos, iti strange inima. Daca ajungi sa crezi si tu in el, ca ei, reintoarcerea acasa ar putea fi plina de dezamagiri si regrete.

"Când sunt prost dispus, ceea ce mi se întâmpla destul de des, din varii motive, rasfoiesc culegerile de perle de tranzitie ale lui Radu Paraschivescu. Comicul enorm, la limita dezastrului (logic, lexical, gramatical, cultural), al acestui monument de brambureala si impostura valaha are efectul paradoxal de a ma întrema. Avem, carevasazica, resurse de umor (fie si involuntar), avem înca resurse de vitalitate animala din care, cine stie, vor rasari, cândva, si florile gingase ale normalitatii!"

Publisher's summary
Tarile si natiunile sunt diferite. Asemanatoare si diferite. România intra si ea, fireste, în acest joc al asemanarilor si deosebirilor. Nu cumva este totusi si mai diferita? Cu alte cuvinte, nu se situeaza oare mai "excentric", sub tot felul de aspecte, în raport cu ceea ce ar fi o medie sau o relativa normalitate europeana? Modul extravagant în care s-a derulat psihodrama politica din vara anului 2012 a lasat impresia ca tara e defecta. Desigur, cei care privesc din afara sunt mai impresionati decât românii, obisnuiti cât de cât cu ei însisi, dar pâna si printre români exasperarea creste. Ceva nu merge în România, si nu doar sus, în clasa politica, si nu doar de ieri, de alaltaieri. Sa fie un blestem? Nu, e doar o istorie. Dar poate ca înseamna acelasi lucru.

The definitive account of the O. J. Simpson trial, The Run of His Life is a prodigious feat of reporting that could have been written only by the foremost legal journalist of our time. First published less than a year after the infamous verdict, Jeffrey Toobin's nonfiction masterpiece tells the whole story, from the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman to the ruthless gamesmanship behind the scenes of "the trial of the century".

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

On the face of it, a simple book of 26 poem fables sharing one man’s wisdom. But The Prophet is so much more than that. It has inspired people from John F Kennedy to The Beatles and became the '60s Bible of counterculture – all because of the timeless truths it shared. Each poem takes a different theme – pleasure, beauty, freedom, joy and sorrow – as the fictional Al Mustapha shares his thoughts and experiences as he prepares to travel back to his island home.

Timely & Insightful
Ten years ago I’ve returned to Romania with a business contract after almost 20 years spent in the USA, years in which I didn’t have luxury of following Romania‘s politics or current affairs. In order to bring me up to speed, my late mother provided me with some relevant writings among which Lucian Boia’s “De ce este România altfel?”/“Why is Romania different?”. I was displeased by the lecture and almost offended. I must admit that discovering it on Audible and relistening to it, after living as an expat in my native country for 10 years, that I find it accurate, insightful and honest.

martorii orbi ai lui Lucian Boia
Lucian Boia reușește sa își contureze propria ficțiune dramatica prin tehnici de minimizare și omisiune a adevărului istoric. Care este adevărul Lucian Boia? Cel ce a scris în comunism sau cel de după?
