Alla ricerca del tempo perduto. IV: Sodoma e Gomorra | Marcel Proust | 4.32 | Classics | First published January 1, 1922 | Ultimo volume della Recherche pubblicato da Proust in vita, tra maggio 1921 e aprile 1922, Sodoma e Gomorra è il libro più costruito e al tempo stesso libero, arioso e inventivo dell'opera, "il più ricco in fatti psicologici e romanzeschi" secondo lo stesso autore. A primeggiare è la figura di Charlus, una delle più grandi creazioni dell'universo proustiano, insieme al personaggio di Albertine, entrambi protagonisti di episodi erotici a sfondo omosessuale. Ma Sodoma contiene anche uno dei momenti più alti, vibranti e commoventi della Recherche: la scoperta, da parte del Narratore, delle celebri "intermittenze del cuore". | 8,961 |

Водолечение | Louis Kuhne | 4.75 | null | First published January 1, 2007 | Идеята за издаване на “Водолечение” е личният ми опит с прилагане метода на Луи Куне. Това е лечение без антибиотици, без скъпи лекарства, с чиста вода загрята или охладена до необходимата температура. Това е новата лечебна наука на Луи Куне - науката за единната причина за болестите. Откритието е направено в края на XIX век след години упорит труд, опити и хиляди излекувани болни.Самият автор е бил отписан от официалната медицина и така в отчаянието си, сред Природата, той открива, че всички болести произтичат от отлагането в нашите тела на отпадъчни, ненужни, отровни вещества. Различно е само мястото на тяхното отлагане. Учителят Беинса Дуно е препоръчвал водолечението на Луи Куне.Махатма Ганди е лекувал и себе си и цялото си семейство с метода на Луи Куне. И в нашия технократски свят простите неща остават най-ефективни. “Водолечението” съдържа двата най-нашумели труда на Луи Куне - “Новата лечебна наука” и “Наука за лицеизраза”. | 4 |

Longing to Love: A Memoir of Desire, Relationships, and Spiritual Transformation | Tim Muldoon | 4 | null | First published January 1, 2010 | In Longing to Love , a beautifully written and refreshingly honest love memoir, best-selling author Tim Muldoon reveals how true love grows through the unexpected twists and turns in a relationship. From sex to self-giving love, from the desire to be loved to the desire to serve God in the person of his spouse, from resisting adoption to loving his two adopted daughters unconditionally, Muldoon's love memoir shows how love rarely, if ever, follows the script we wish it would--and yet how the altered script can lead us on our greatest adventure with God! | 3 |

Reizen tussen de lijnen. Dwars door Indonesië met Alfred Russel Wallace | Alexander Reeuwijk | 3.88 | Nonfiction | First published October 4, 2013 | In het midden van de negentiende eeuw reisde Alfred Russel Wallace acht jaar over de eilanden van Indonesië op zoek naar nieuwe diersoorten. Het viel hem op dat de dierenwereld in het westen van de archipel er heel anders uitzag dan in het oosten. Deze observaties vormden de basis voor zijn biogeografie, een leer die bestudeert hoe dieren en planten zich verspreiden over de wereld, begrensd door denkbeeldige lijnen, zoals de Wallacelijn tussen Bali en Lombok, en Borneo en Sulawesi. Want hoe verklaar je dat paradijsvogels alleen in het oosten van Indonesië in de bomen dansen? Dat orang-oetans alleen op Sumatra en Borneo voorkomen? En wat is de mogelijke relatie tussen de Floresmens en de Komodovaraan? Om op deze en vele andere vragen antwoord te krijgen reisde Alexander Reeuwijk anderhalve eeuw na Wallace met een tas vol boeken, een verrekijker en de laatste wetenschappelijke inzichten dwars door Indonesië. Samen met onderzoekers, natuurbeschermers, jagers en stropers bezocht hij verschillende jungles, wouden en andere natuurlocaties. Het resultaat is een persoonlijk verhaal over de schoonheid en kwetsbaarheid van de natuur in Indonesië in de eenentwintigste eeuw. | 16 |

Bữa sáng ở Tiffany's | Truman Capote | 3.85 | Fiction | First published January 1, 1958 | Tập Breakfast at Tiffany's: A Short Novel and Three Stories xuất bản năm 1958 gồm truyện vừa cùng tên và 3 truyện ngắn Nhà hoa, Cây đàn guitar kim cương và Ký ức Giáng sinh. Nhân vật chính của Bữa sáng ở Tiffany’s, Holly Nhẹ Dạ, đã trở thành một trong những sáng tạo nổi tiếng nhất của Truman Capote và của văn học hiện đại Mỹ thế kỷ 20. Lối văn của cuốn sách đã khiến nhà văn Norman Mailer gọi Capote là “nhà văn hoàn hảo nhất của thế hệ tôi. Ông viết nên những câu văn hay nhất, đẹp đến từng con chữ, từng nhịp điệu.” Trong tuyệt tác đầy cám dỗ và nuối tiếc này, Truman Capote đã sáng tạo nên một cô gái mà tên cô đã đi vào thành ngữ Mỹ và phong cách cô là một phần của diện mạo văn học. Holly Nhẹ Dạ biết rằng vĩnh viễn không điều gì xấu có thể xảy ra với mình ở tiệm Tiffany’s; sự cay đắng, hài hước, ngây thơ của cô vẫn cứ mê hoặc lòng người. Tuyển tập này có thêm 3 trong số những truyện ngắn nổi tiếng nhất của Capote, Nhà hoa, Cây đàn guitar kim cương và Ký ức Giáng sinh mà tờ Satuday Review gọi là “một trong những truyện ngắn cảm động nhất bằng tiếng Anh.” Đấy là câu chuyện về hai kẻ ngây thơ – một cậu bé và một bà già, bạn thân thiết nhất của cậu – trong ngọt ngào có cái lõi sắc cạnh và nghiệt ngã của hiện thực. Bộ phim Bữa sáng ở Tiffany’s đã được Hollywood tạo thành một biểu tưởng phù hoa, không chỉ thời trang mà còn một phong cách sống nổi bật nhất của truyền thông thế kỷ 20. Kẻ nào đủ tỉnh táo trước sự cám dỗ và đủ sức mạnh chống lại những va đập không thương tiếc của đời sống thị thành? Câu chuyện hài hước và sâu cay đã được dựng thành phim năm 1961 với ngôi sao Audrey Hepburn. Sự khác biệt giữa truyện và phim cũng phản ánh quan điểm về những cái kết tốt đẹp (happy-ending) rất đặc trưng của màn bạc Mỹ. Phim và truyện cho đến nay, trở thành một cặp biểu tượng thời trang và văn hóa kinh điển. | 247,176 |

Dass die höheren Sphären den Bruder als Prophetenkandidat ausersehen hatten und in arge Bedrängnis kommen, als dieser fällt, dass nun er als Ersatz herhalten muss, um den Engeln nicht den Job zu rauben, ahnt er nicht. Mit Kumpel „Dreizehn“ desertiert er bald mitten im Gefecht, fällt aber den Rebellen in die Hände, die beide monatelang arretieren.

中国人的修养 | 蔡元培 | 3.5 | China | First published September 1, 2012 | 内容介绍：
《中国人的修养》是蔡元培先生在公民道德修养方面的杰出作品，主要收录了他最为重要的道德思想建设代表作:《华工学校讲义》和《中学修身教科书》。《中国人的修养》完美结合了中华传统文化中的修身齐家治国平天下与现代公民道德教育理念，通过细微事件，具体、详尽地阐述了建设道德社会的方法，是一部值得所有国人阅读的道德范本。中国人或许是最保守、最固执，亦最利己的族群，他们有着发自内心的真诚和善良，却从未试图将这种真诚和善良，变成社会的公共精神。但蔡元培先生显然并不这么认为。在他的眼中，中国人是“可改造的”，如果能摒弃过去的束缚，并注入崭新的思想，中国人就一定能从“独善其身”，转而“兼济天下”。这部几近百年前的教科书，如今的国人也许刚刚翻开第一页。但翻开便好，便是试图革新，便是大勇气。 | 2 |

How did it reach this flashpoint of instability and injustice with such potentially catastrophic results for the whole world?Recounting his country's history through the prism of his own memories, Imran Khan starts from its foundation, ripped out of the dying British Raj. He guides us through and comments on subsequent historical developments which shook the Muslim world -- the wars with India in 1965 and 1971, the Iranian Revolution of 1979, the Societ invasion of Afghanistan, the 9/11 terrorist attacks -- to the current controversial and intractable war in Afghanistan. Throughout we see these events viewed not only through the eyes of Westerners, but through those of ordinary Pakistanis.Drawing on the experiences of his own family and his wide travels within his homeland, Pakistan: A Personal History provides a unique insider's view of a country unfamiliar to a western audience. Woven into this history we see how Imran Khan's personal life -- his happy childhood in Lahore, his Oxford education, his extraordinary cricketing career, his playboy years and marriage to Jemima Goldsmith, his mother's influence and that of his Islamic faith -- inform both the historical narrative and his current philanthropic and political activities. It is at once absorbing and insightful, casting fresh light upon a country whose culture he believes is largely misunderstood by the West.From the Trade Paperback edition. | 1,988 |

El francotirador paciente | Arturo Pérez-Reverte | 3.28 | Fiction | First published January 1, 2008 | «El Destino es un cazador paciente. Ciertas casualidades están escritas de antemano, como francotiradores agazapados con un ojo en el visor y un dedo en el gatillo, esperando el momento idóneo. Y aquél, sin duda, lo era. Uno de tantos falsos azares planeados por ese Destino retorcido, irónico, aficionado a las bromas pesadas.»Un encargo editorial pone a Alejandra Varela, especialista en arte urbano, tras la pista de Sniper, un reconocido artista del grafiti, promotor de acciones callejeras al límite de la legalidad —algunas de ellas con resultados fatales— del que casi nadie ha visto jamás el rostro ni conoce el paradero.

Tecniche di propaganda politica. Vichy e la Légion Française des Combattants | Irene Di Jorio | 0 | null | First published January 1, 2006 | Propaganda e controllo dei mass-media sono oggi al centro di accesi dibattiti e di aggiornate ricerche storiche. Indispensabile in ogni società massificata, la creazione del consenso è riconosciuta come centrale per comprendere il successo dei fascismi nell'Europa fra le due guerre. Il regime di Vichy, nato nella drammatica situazione del luglio 1940, offre in tal senso un punto d'osservazione privilegiato. Come lanciare l'immagine di un nuovo Stato, in un paese sconfitto e in buona parte occupato' Come far aderire i cittadini ad un sistema politico liberticida che chiede, per giunta, di collaborare con l'eterno nemico' Attraverso lo studio di fonti inedite e di documenti a diffusione militante, il libro conduce nel retroscena di questo regime controverso ed esamina le competenze mobilitate per allestire una 'fabbrica del consenso' efficace. Concentrandosi sul caso limite della Légion Française des Combattants, esso getta nuova luce su un sistema che, lungi dall'accontentarsi di ricette tradizionali, riservò un'attenzione 'scientifica' alle tecniche di propaganda e alla formazione dei propagandisti. | 0 |
The Aleph | Jorge Luis Borges | 4.33 | Short Stories | First published January 1, 1945 | Although full of philosophical puzzles and supernatural surprises, the stories which make up The Aleph also contain some of Borges's most fully realised human characters. With uncanny insight he takes us inside the minds of an unrepentant Nazi, an imprisoned Mayan priest, fanatical Christian theologians, a woman plotting vengeance on her father’s 'killer', and a man awaiting his assassin in a Buenos Aires guest house. This volume also contains the hauntingly brief vignettes about literary imagination and personal identity collected in The Maker, which Borges created as failing eyesight and public fame began to undermine his sense of self. | 44,083 |
Economix: Wie unsere Wirtschaft funktioniert | Michael Goodwin | 4.32 | Economics | First published September 1, 2012 | Stimulus plans: good or bad? Free markets: How free are they? Jobs: Can we afford them? Occupy Wall Street . . . worldwideEverybody's talking about the economy, but how can we, the people, understand what Wall Street or Washington knows--or say they know? Read "Economix."With clear, witty writing and quirky, accessible art, this important and timely graphic novel transforms "the dismal science" of economics into a fun, fact-filled story about human nature and our attempts to make the most of what we've got . . . and sometimes what our neighbors have got. "Economix "explains it all, from the beginning of Western economic thought, to markets free and otherwise, to economic failures, successes, limitations, and future possibilities. It's the essential, accessible guide to understanding the economy and economic practices. A must-read for every citizen and every voter.PRAISE FOR "ECONOMIX""It's simply phenomenal. You could read ten books on the subject and not glean as much information."-- David Bach founder of FinishRich Media; author of nine "New York Times" bestsellers, including "Debt Free for Life" and "The Automatic Millionaire" "Goodwin has done the seemingly impossible--he has made economics comprehensible "and" funny."-- Joel Bakan, author of "The Corporation" "The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power" "An amazing lesson in true-world economics Delightfully presented, powerful, insightful, and important information What a fun way to fathom a deep and often dark subject "-- John Perkins, author of "Hoodwinked" and the "New York Times" bestseller "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" "Smart, insightful, clear, and as close to the truth as economics can get. The bonus: Who would have guessed that economics could be fun, and--here's the joy--really accessible? Goodwin roots us in history and fills us with common sense understanding. As he puts it early on, economics seems horribly complicated mostly because we're looking at it all at once. Broken down into its component pieces, it's relatively easy to understand. And a good understanding of economics is critical to maneuvering in the world today. If I were compiling a list of the 100 most important books you can read in a lifetime, this would be on it."--Stephen Petranek, editor-in-chief, Weider History magazines, former editor-in-chief of "Discover" magazine "Through a potent mix of comics and punchy, concise, accessible prose, Goodwin takes us on a provocative, exhaustively researched, and exceedingly engaging trip through our history and present day, creating an alternately hilarious and scary picture of where we are today as an economy-- and what it all means. More than that, Goodwin makes the arcane, understandable. If your mind either spins or slumbers at the thought of economics, read Goodwin's "Economix" and all will become clear. --Nomi Prins, author of "It Takes a Pillage: An Epic Tale of Power, Deceit, and Untold Trillions" ""Economix" is a lively, cheerfully opinionated romp through the historical and intellectual foundations of our current economy and our current economic problems. Goodwin has a knack for distilling complex ideas and events in ways that invite the reader to follow the big picture without losing track of what actually happened. Any reader wondering how our economy got to where it is today will find this a refreshing overview."--Timothy W. Guinnane, Philip Golden Bartlett Professor of Economic History, Yale University | 4,513 |

Evening's Empires | Paul McAuley | 3.66 | Science Fiction | First published July 18, 2013 | The True Empire has fallen. While Earth endures a centuries-long winter, the rest of the Solar System is divided in thousand city states and petty commonwealths and kingdoms.Scientific enquiry has dwindled. Superstition drives out reason.

Teoria dell'agire comunicativo. Volume II | Jürgen Habermas | 3.94 | Philosophy | First published January 1, 1981 | Juergen Habermas opens Volume 2 with a brilliant reinterpretation of Mead and Durkheim and then develops his own approach to society, combining two hitherto competing paradigms, "system" and "lifeworld." The strength of this combination is then demonstrated in a detailed critique of Parsons's theory of social systems. Concluding with a critical reconstruction of the Weberan and Marxian treatment of modernity and its discontents, Habermas sets a new agenda for the critical theory of contemporary society. The combination of historical and theoretical sweep, analytical acumen and synthetic power, imagination and engagement mark this as one of the great works of twentieth-century social theory. | 447 |

Epistolario | Baruch Spinoza | 4.01 | Philosophy | First published January 1, 1995 | È questa la prima traduzione integrale dell'epistolario spinoziano: vi sono comprese anche le lettere che trattano di fisica, di ottica e in genere del progresso dell'indagine scientifica del XVII secolo. Si tratta quindi di un documento significativo della connessione intima che regnò in quell'epoca tra filosofia e scienza, ed in realtà la scienza della natura era la trama sulla quale Spinoza intesseva la filosofia della sostanza infinita. Sotto questo aspetto l'epistolario spinoziano assume nella storia della scienza un interesse non minore di quello che presenta specificamente per lo storico della filosofia. | 90 |

Scenariu pentru happy-end | Matthew Quick | 3.98 | Fiction | First published January 1, 2008 | Romanul Scenariu pentru happy-end a fost adaptat pentru cinematografie intr-o celebra pelicula nominalizata la Premiul Oscar, avindu-i in distributie pe Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence si Robert De Niro. Pat e obsedat de o teorie: viata lui e un film ce-l are drept producator pe Dumnezeu. Iar Dumnezeu i-a dat o misiune: sa alerge in fiecare zi, sa-si recapete trupul de altadata (de pe vremea cind inca nu statuse patru ani intr-un spital de nebuni), dar si linistea emotionala. O va recistiga astfel pe Nikki, fosta lui sotie. Nenorocirea e ca, stiindu-l fost pacient al spitalului de boli mintale, nimeni nu-l mai ia in serios si toti il agreseaza sau ii intorc spatele: Philadelphia Eagles, echipa care-l tine legat de realitate, pierde meci dupa meci, fara speranta; el e urmarit de o tinara de o frumusete rapitoare, dar nebuna; psihoterapeutul, departe de a se alia cu Dumnezeu, ii recomanda sa se culce cu orice femeie care-i iese-n cale, in scop terapeutic, si, colac peste pupaza, Kenny G il tot piseaza la cap. „Matthew Quick umple paginile romanului sau cu o rara inteligenta a absurdului si e imposibil sa nu-l aplauzi pentru un erou atit de improbabil.” (People) „Scenariu pentru happy-end e un debut frumos. Si e greu sa nu te emotioneze soarta unui om care, in ciuda experientelor ingrozitoare prin care trece, incearca din rasputeri sa creada in speranta, in fidelitatea pentru o iubire pierduta, in ideea ca trebuie sa mai supravietuiasca o zi cu mintea intreaga.” (The Wall Street Journal) | 160,625 |

ett svart streck | Jesper Waldersten | 4 | null | null | Ett svart streck är Jesper Walderstens första större utställning. Samtliga teckningar är nya och gjorda för detta sammanhang. I samband med utställningen publicerar Färgfabriken också boken ”Ett svart streck”, om 136 sidor med 60 teckningar av Waldersten, och en text av Färgfabrikens Jan Åman, som avslutas med följande ord: ”Jesper har givit sig ut igen på sin vandring, men med lite andra förtecken. Han vandrar i ensamhet och på kalas. Han vandrar bland isolerade individer, bland par och bland grupper av figurer. Så som han brukar. Det är närhet och desperat isolation om vartannat. Det är mänskligt omänskligt. Det är tristess, sex, fylla, kort glädje, misslyckanden och drömmar om något annat. Klassiska konstnärliga temata. Och det är väl det som är Jesper Waldersten. Han zappar genom vår tid. Han tecknar fortare än en dator minns. Och han gör det på jakt efter konstens klassiska domäner.” | 3 |

Facing the Other Way: The Story of 4AD | Martin Aston | 4.06 | Music | First published September 1, 2013 | The first official account of the iconic record label.This Mortal Coil, Birthday Party, Bauhaus, Cocteau Twins, Pixies, Throwing Muses, Breeders, Dead Can Dance, Lisa Germano, Kristin Hersh, Belly, Red House Painters.Just a handful of the bands and artists who started out recording for 4AD, a record label founded by Ivo Watts-Russell and Peter Kent in 1979, a label which went on to be one of the most influential of the modern era.Combining the unique tastes of Watts-Russell and the striking design aesthetic of Vaughan Oliver, 4AD records were recognisable by their look as much their sound. In this comprehensive account concentrating on the label’s first two decades (up to the point that Watts-Russell left), music journalist Martin Aston explores the fascinating story with unique access to all the key players and pretty much every artist who released a record on 4AD during that time, and to its notoriously reclusive founder.With a cover designed by Vaughan Oliver this is an essential book for all 4AD fans and anyone who loved the music of that time. | 635 |

To make matters worse, Meemaw enrolls Laney in tiny Millburgh Christian Academy and agrees to teach Puppetry in exchange for Laney's tuition. Though uncomfortable with the strict, religious atmosphere, she's excited by the attention cute, artistic, funny Calvin Berger gives her. Calvin is nothing like bland, boring, brotherly Joshua Gold, one of Meemaw's puppeteers, who hangs out in Laney's kitchen after puppet shows.

The Feature of the Expert, Glorious King: “Three Lines That Hit the Key Points.” Root text and commentary by Patrul Rinpoche | Garab Dorje | 4.2 | null | First published January 1, 2007 | The first Patrul Rinpoche is one of the important lineage holders of the Longchen Nyingthig transmission of innermost Great Completion (Dzogpa Chenpo). He wrote many texts on Great Completion practices. One of them has become particularly famous as a manual for the practice of Thorough Cut (Thregcho) The actual title of this text is "The Feature of the Expert, Glorious King". The Expert, Glorious King is Patrul's description of himself as someone who has the lineage and means to provide this explanation of one of the most profound practices of dharma. The lineage of innermost Dzogchen has several root teachings on Thorough Cut practice and all of them can be used as a basis for a manual of how to practice Thorough Cut. One of the most popular ones is a teaching that came from Garab Dorje after he had passed away. This teaching was given as a set of three lines of instructions to his disciple Manjushrimitra and is generally known as the "Three Lines". Patrul's text is actually an explanation of the Three Lines teaching from Garab Dorje. Patrul used the three lines as a basis and then expanded on them so that their meaning could be more easily understood. For that reason, the text has become known as The Three Lines that Strike the Key Points. It is so commonly called by this name that many people do not know the actual name of the text. Patrul Rinpoche not only wrote this text but wrote his own, short commentary to it as well. The commentary certainly will help anyone to understand the very terse words of the original text. Therefore this book contains translations both of the root text and Patrul's own commentary to it. The book also includes an introduction that tells more about the text, notes and a glossary that provide significant help with the unique terminology involved, and an explanation of what the title actually says! | 5 |
Andromeda uhkaa | Michael Crichton | 3.91 | Science Fiction | First published September 1, 1969 | Karmiva tieteisromaani, joka voi vaikka huomispäivänä olla todellisuutta.Kaikki alkaa siitä, kun miehittämätön tutkimussatelliitti poikkeaa radaltaan ja putoaa pieneen amerikkalaiseen erämaakylään. Pian tehdään kauhistava havainto: kylän kaikki asukkaat ovat – kahta lukuunottamatta – kuolleet. Tuntematon avaruuden bakteeri on liikkeellä. Tieteen kaikki keinot keskitetään tuhon pysäyttämiseksi.Huippuluokan tutkijaryhmä työskentelee kuumeisesti salaisessa laboratoriossa, viisi kerrosta Nevadan erämaan alapuolella. Uusimmat tietokoneet, herkimmät mittausvälineet ja laitteet ovat heidän apunaan taistelussa koko maailmaa uhkaavaa tuhoa vastaan. Vähäisen johtolangan heille antaa se, että tuholta on säästynyt pieni sylilapsi sekä muuan sairaalloinen aspiriinin ja alkoholin kyllästämä vanhus. Lopulta on kysymys vain sekunnin murto-osista tässä karmivassa kamppailussa. Ja lukijan on pakko uskoa miltei uskomattomatkin asiat – niin vakuuttava on kerrontaa tukeva tieteellinen asiantuntemus. | 261,760 |

Los enamoramientos | Javier Marías | 3.55 | Fiction | First published January 1, 2011 | Cada mañana María Dolz contempla en una cafetería a una pareja a la que no conoce de nada, cuya felicidad intuye y acaso envidia. Este ritual la ayuda a empezar la jornada, hasta que un día se entera de la muerte del hombre a manos de un enajenado. Más tarde, una relación imprevista, quizá imprudente, acerca a María a los pormenores del suceso. El embriagador estado de enamoramiento y las acciones que desencadena, positivas o viles, generosas o egoístas, la impunidad, la presencia casi permanente de los muertos en nuestras vidas, la memoria, la imposibilidad de conocer cabalmente la verdad son algunos de los temas por los que discurre, firme y sinuosa, una de las mejores novelas de su autor."De Marías se aprende tanto porque nadie conoce al ser humano como él."
