Ondenkbaar dat U niet bestaat

Anselm of Canterbury

First published January 1, 1078

God bestaat. Voor Anselmus van Canterbury (1033-1109) staat dat vast. Maar hoe kun je Gods bestaan bewijzen? Daarover schreeft hij een beroemde tekst, die zich laat lezen als een indringend gebed. God is voor Anselmus ‘datgene waarboven niets gedacht kan worden’. In zijn betoog wisselt hij argumenten af met bevlogen, lyrische passages. Die krijgen in deze vertaling de volle aandacht. Godsbewijzen zijn vergankelijk, maar Godsverlangen is van alle tijden.

Burial Rites

Hannah Kent

Historical Fiction

First published August 29, 2013

A brilliant literary debut, inspired by a true story: the final days of a young woman accused of murder in Iceland in 1829. Set against Iceland's stark landscape, Hannah Kent brings to vivid life the story of Agnes, who, charged with the brutal murder of her former master, is sent to an isolated farm to await execution. Horrified at the prospect of housing a convicted murderer, the family at first avoids Agnes. Only Tóti, a priest Agnes has mysteriously chosen to be her spiritual guardian, seeks to understand her. But as Agnes's death looms, the farmer's wife and their daughters learn there is another side to the sensational story they've heard. Riveting and rich with lyricism, Burial Rites evokes a dramatic existence in a distant time and place, and asks the question, how can one woman hope to endure when her life depends upon the stories told by others?

Sam, ispod šljive

Lazar Janić, Stevan Šarčević

First published September 1, 2013

Roman Sam, ispod šljive tandema Janić-Šarčević ubedljivo pokazuje zašto su u potpunoj zabludi svi koji smatraju da je vreme naučne fantastike nepovratno minulo. SF žanr i te kako ima još šta da kaže – ovoga puta na srpskom izvorniku... Zoran Živković Radnja romana nas vodi trista godina u budućnost, tačnije u 2311. godinu. Svet je isparčan na nekoliko velikih geopolitičkih celina, među kojima se po izuzetnom blagostanju ističe Evropa, jedinstvena republika naseljena jednim narodom. Njeni stanovnici žive gotovo isključivo u megalopolisima. Čak i ako nisu zaposleni, uživaju visoke apanaže koje im omogućavaju luksuzan život. Poslove koje niko ne želi, obavljaju roboti i dolpengengeri, beslovesna klonirana čovekolika bića upravljana sistemima iz gradova. Negde na granicama Evrope vode se ratovi, o kojima se uglavnom zna preko herojskih saga emitovanih kroz mas-medije, ali to je na margini interesovanja zadovoljnih Evropljana. U tom i takvom svetu, detektiv Milivoj Jovanović dobija zadatak da istraži krađu uređaja za putovanje kroz vreme, ali, takođe, i eliminiše kradljivca, nekadašnjeg agenta Međudimenzionalnog odseka (MDO) Anu Simonović, koja, izvesno, stoji iza zločina. Trag vodi van grada i on izlazi da bi otkrio da je svet mnogo drugačiji od onoga kakvim ga je zamišljao... Da stvari nisu onakve kakvim se izdaju, shvatiće ubrzo i drugi MDO agent, Aleksa Lakić, koji se otiskuje na vremensko putovanje u nameri da zaustavi odbeglu Anu Simonović, s kojom je bio u emotivnoj vezi. Velika jurnjava po vremenskoj osi, jurnjava u realnom vremenu, Kremansko proročanstvo i neočekivana otkrića smenjuju se bez ikakve kontrole. U vrtoglavoj akcionoj priči mešaju se likovi iz različitih epoha tokom gotovo 500 godina, a super-agenti, žrtve genetskih manipulacija i tehnologija budućnosti sukobljavaju se na čvornim vremenskim petljama sadašnjosti i alternativnih budućnosti. Dragoljub Igrošanac Jeste li leteli po vremenskim nitima tražeći prijatelje i neprijatelje?Jeste li se seksali sa podatnim klonovima koji su, možda, ljudska bića?Sigurni ste da je ova sadašnjost vaša, međutim u to veruje i vaša replika u nekoj drugačijoj sadašnjosti. Onda, koji ste to Vi: ovaj, onaj, ili oni tamo treći? Ili, četvrti...?Takva iskustva i saznanja nudi knjiga „Sam, ispod Šljive“ Stevana Šarčevića i Lazara Janića futuristički akcioni roman koji čitaoca ostavlja bez predaha. Ličnosti iz različitih vremena tokom 4-5 vekova, super-agenti, žrtve genetskih manipulacija i tehnologija budučnosti sukobljavaju se na čvornim vremenskim petljama sadašnjosti i alternativnih budućnosti nastalih zato što je Slobodan Milošević uspeo da izbegne rat.Roman čvrste kompozicije, ubrzane radnje i odsečnog, modernog stila koji odmah ulazi u samu srž događanja. Upečatljiva vizija sveta, Evropske unije i Srbije u mogućim budućnostima, nastalim na marginama „Kremanskog proročanstva“.Likove romana definišu ugrađeni implanti i ukrštaji superiornih gena, pojačavajući u njima ljubav i ljubomoru, zavist i osvetoljubljivost, seksualnost i perverznost, ali i neumornu akciju za prevlast na vremenskim čvorištima koja određuju moguće sadašnjosti i različite, zabrinjavajuće budućnosti.Dva autora usaglašenog stila u romanu uzbudljivog, atraktivnog sadržaja i ubrzane radnje, ono što najmanje očekujete pod setno-sentimentalnim naslovom „Sam, ispod šljive“. Milivoj Anđelković

Rife with the Regancy's penchant for gossip, scandal and matchmaking, WHAT A WICKED EARL WANTS is a delightful romance featuring a rakish hero, an innocent widow, corrupt villans and a secondray cast of characters who add dimension, wit and tenderness to the plot.

If the stranger becomes a friend and the lady a mistress, all the better. He certainly welcomes the opportunity to help Laura Davenport, a dazzling young widow with a rebellious stepson.

"Call Me John:" A Life of Pope John XXIII

Richard Cardinal Cushing

First published January 1, 1963

From the dust jacket:"Call Me John:" A Life of Pope John XXIII by His Eminence Richard Cardinal Cushing.Shortly after Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli was ordained priest he had a private audience with Pope Pius X. Having given the young Levite his blessing, the saintly Pontiff counselled Father Roncalli 'to live so that his priesthood would prove a consolation to the Church.' Accepting the challenge of a future saint, he became not only a consolation to the Church but to the entire world.In the fall of 1958 as he approached his 77th birthday, he was elected Pope and took the name of John XXIII.John was his father's name.John the Baptist was one of his favorite saints.John was the most popular name taken by popes prior to the fifteenth century.St. John Lateran Bascilica is the mother church of the Diocese of Rome and there in respect to his own desire, he will be entombed.Selecting his name, John XXIII observed that former Popes of the same name reigned for only a short time. Advanced in years, young in spirit, he governed the Church less than five years. But within that time he became one of the most beloved, unique, and in a constructive way, revolutionary Popes in history.Within these pages is traced a portrait of this 'Master Bridge Builder' between God and Man, from his earliest years in Sotto il Monte to the Throne of Peter. Passages from his personal diary reveal his great heart, while excerpts from his encyclicals and addresses breathe of the wondrous optimism with which he approached the problems of our age.'Call Me John' is a book that will refresh and inspire every reader."

First published September 1, 2013

Tubuh kita menjelma gedung-gedung tua ketika hujan merangkak datang.tangan kita menadah sementara wajah tengadah.bibirku berpayung bibirmu. .....(Berpayung Bibirmu) Tak ada kekasih yang paling setia bagi semua perempuan kecuali dirinya sendiri. Ratna Ayu Budhiarti mengatakan bahwa puisi adalah satu-satunya yang paling setia menemani dalam detik sunyi. Saya mengatakan bahwa puisi adalah sahabat yang datang dari ketiadaan untuk menghapus kecamuk kepedihan dan kesunyian. Barangkali itulah fungsi puisi bagi para perempuan; kekasih sekaligus kawan yang tak pernah berkhianat atau melawan. VAGINOPLASTY saya hadirkan ke tangan Anda bukan karena saya ini betulan penyair, tapi karena seperti yang pernah saya katakan, puisi ibarat kawan seperjalanan. Bukankah hidup membutuhkan penanda halaman agar kita masih bisa mengenang apa-apa yang sempat hilang dari ingatan? Maka VAGINOPLASTY adalah penanda halaman hidup saya, mungkin juga halaman hidup Anda. Dee, dalam bukunya Supernova KPBJ pernah mengatakan bahwa individu hanyalah ilusi, kita semua adalah bagian dari jagat raya yang tersimpul dalam sebuah jaring laba-laba. Puisi memang digubah berdasarkan pengalaman empiris penulisnya, tetapi dimaknai oleh pengalaman dan wawasan pembacanya. Karena individu hanyalah ilusi, pengalaman saya, bisa jadi pengalaman Anda, begitu juga sebaliknya. Jika Anda merasa sudah paham tentang cinta dan luka-lukanya, saya sarankan jangan pernah membeli atau membaca buku ini. Jika Anda sudah tahu posisi Anda dalam lingkaran asmara (tuan atau sahaya), buku ini tak akan pernah berguna. Tapi jika Anda masih sering bertanya mengenai parasit bernama cinta, VAGINOPLASTY menawarkan persepsi yang -mudah-mudahan- berbeda. Selamat bergairah. Salam,Langit Amaravati(Penyair berdarah dingin)

Il blu è un colore caldo

Jul Maroh

Graphic Novels

First published April 1, 2010

Ho chiesto a mia madre di lasciare sulla mia scrivania, per te, ciò che ho di più prezioso: i miei diari. Voglio che sia tu a conservarli: contengono tutti i miei ricordi di adolescente colorati di blu. Blu inchiostro, blu cielo, blu klein, blu ciano, blu oltremare… il blu è diventato un colore caldo. Ti amo, Emma, sei l’amore della mia vita.Il primo sguardo tra due persone destinate a innamorarsi può essere un evento sconvolgente: una scossa destinata a scuotere le fondamenta di una vita altrimenti banale, un’esplosione di colore che dona luce a un mondo altrimenti grigio. È quello che accade a Clémentine, 15 anni, in un pomeriggio qualsiasi, quando una macchia di azzurro si fa strada verso di lei tra la folla: una testa dai capelli tinti di blu, due occhi della stessa tonalità che per i mesi a venire invaderanno, notte dopo notte, ogni suo sogno. Eppure, quella di Clémentine non è solo una storia d’amore.È una storia di vergogna, di negazione, di rabbia, di insicurezza: perché il nome della sua ossessione è Emma, e in un mondo intriso di pregiudizi vivere apertamente la propria omosessualità può provocare fratture emotive insanabili, e deviare per sempre il corso di un’esistenza.

Horror

First published September 1, 2009

Darkness surrounds us. We can find darkness anywhere: in a strange green stone etched with mysterious symbols; at a small town's annual picnic; in a ghostly house that is easy to enter but not so easy to leave; behind the dumpster in the alley where a harpy lives; in The Nowhere, a place where car keys, toys, people disappear to; among Polar explorers; and, most definitely, within ourselves. Darkness flies from mysterious crates; surrounds children whose nightlights have vanished; and flickers between us at the movie theater. Darkness crawls from the past and is waiting in our future; and there's always a chance that Halloween really is a door opening directly into endless shadow. Welcome to the dark. You may never want to leave. This inaugural volume of the year's best dark fantasy and horror features more than 500 pages of dark tales from some of today's finest writers of the fantastique.

Cedric’s situation is complicated by the gradual realization that his intended purpose is not only to serve as companion to the crown prince but also as his surrogate in the whipping yard, taking the punishment for Alain’s misdeeds. Will Cedric find a way to come to terms with the resentment, pity, curiosity, and reluctant attraction he feels toward the crown prince, or will he allow the circumstances around them to command their fate?

Al-Imam Al-Syafi'i: Kegemilangan Ilmu dan Pemikiran

Nik Yusri Musa

First published March 21, 2006

Al-Imam Al-Syafi'i adalah seorang ulama yang warak dan sentiasa berfikiran terbuka untuk meninggalkan pendapatnya jika terjumpa hadith sahih. Beliau dianggap sebagai mujaddid pada kurunnya kerana telah membuat pembaharuan dalam bidang usul al-Fiqh. Sebab itu, ramai di kalangan umat Islam di Malaysia memilih untuk berpegang pada Mazhab Syafi'i.Namun, sikap tidak bertanggungjawab beberapa pihak telah mengakibatkan imam besar itu disalah anggap. Beliau sentiasa menyuruh agar pengikutnya meninggalkan pendapatnya jika bertentangan dengan nas. Tetapi, ada pengikutnya pula mengambil langkah mewajibkan orang lain berpegang pada mazhabnya dan melarang bertukar mazhab, tidak kira menyamai atau menyanggahi nas. Selain itu, terdapat beberapa pihak yang jahil cuba memfitnah beliau dengan sesuatu yang beliau sendiri tidak tahu,Buku ini bertujuan menyedarkan masyarakat umum yang sebelum ini sewenang-wenangnya menyandarkan sesuatu pendapat kepada imam besar itu. Lebih buruk lagi, ada yang menyandarkan kepadanya sesuatu pendapat yang amat bertentangan dengan arahan beliau.Diharapkan dengan terbitnya buku ini, umat Islam akan lebih jauh mengenali siapa itu al-Imam al-Syafi'i, manhajnya dalam fekah dan akidah serta sumbangannya dalam dunia Islam.

Mrs. Poe

Lynn Cullen

Historical Fiction

First published October 1, 2013

Inspired by literature’s most haunting love triangle, award-winning author Lynn Cullen delivers a pitch-perfect rendering of Edgar Allan Poe, his mistress’s tantalizing confession, and his wife’s frightening obsession in this new masterpiece of historical fiction to which Sara Gruen says, “Mrs. Poe had my heart racing...Don't miss it!”1845: New York City is a sprawling warren of gaslit streets and crowded avenues, bustling with new immigrants and old money, optimism and opportunity, poverty and crime. Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” is all the rage—the success of which a struggling poet like Frances Osgood can only dream. As a mother trying to support two young children after her husband’s cruel betrayal, Frances jumps at the chance to meet the illustrious Mr. Poe at a small literary gathering, if only to help her fledgling career. Although not a great fan of Poe’s writing, she is nonetheless overwhelmed by his magnetic presence—and the surprising revelation that he admires her work. What follows is a flirtation, then a seduction, then an illicit affair…and with each clandestine encounter, Frances finds herself falling slowly and inexorably under the spell of her mysterious, complicated lover. But when Edgar’s frail wife, Virginia, insists on befriending Frances as well, the relationship becomes as dark and twisted as one of Poe’s tales. And like those gothic heroines whose fates are forever sealed, Frances begins to fear that deceiving Mrs. Poe may be as impossible as cheating death itself… And don't miss the next captivating novel from Lynn Cullen—Twain’s End—where the acclaimed author tells a fictionalized imagining of the relationship between iconic author Mark Twain and his personal secretary, Isabel Lyon.

Smart Knowledge Working

Giuseppe Iacono

First published October 14, 2013

Nei prossimi anni il lavoro è destinato a trasformarsi radicalmente. Soprattutto nelle società «avanzate» europee il lavoro dovrà diventare sempre più un lavoro ad alto contenuto di conoscenza e di tecnologia, e quindi lavoro in cui i parametri tempi e orari saranno sempre meno significativi, l’identificazione della sede sempre meno possibile, la dimensione del dipendente e del subordinato sempre meno diffusa. Lavoratori nomadi, che si connettono dai propri computer, dagli smartphone, ma anche costantemente in viaggio per realizzare idee e contenuti, per i quali il telelavoro non è un’eccezione, ma la normalità. Lavoratori fragili, perché per loro natura indipendenti e in continua relazione con le diverse comunità, ma non parte di una struttura. E per questo non salvaguardati. In Italia l’arretratezza in innovazione si esprime anche così.
