Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What is happiness The truth is, nobody really knows. It's a word without a clear definition, yet we are all engaged in the pursuit of happiness (a phrase immortalised, though never defined, in the constitution of the United States). For each one of us it means something unique and yet few can even describe what they believe it to mean, even for themselves.And just when happiness seems to be within our grasp, it proves itself to be forever beyond reach. Like the elusive butterfly it sometimes seems enticingly close, then at the last moment flutters away. Perhaps this is not such a bad thing: if we ever found ourselves completely happy, what impetus would we have to do anything else In this book, you will find a variety of quotes on the subject of happiness by a wide variety of personalities ranging from the ancient philosophers such as Plato and Buddha to contemporaries like Tina Turner and Sandra Bullock . Reading them may not in itself bring complete happiness (though it should give you enjoyment); but it will point you in the direction of your own version of happiness. Good luck! Be happy.…

Neuware - Can you imagine what it must be like; to be thrown away like a dirty dish-rag because a man has chosen to use you so Imagine then if everyone you ever loved hated you equally for what he'd done to you. This happened twice to me. One of them is dead, but the other is still very much alive. I will have my vengeance, all whilst this bastard grows within. It wasn't his fault; they'd all told him that he was the one. They'd called him the Holy Spirit. He could've only assumed that they knew what they were talking about. They were an entire country. Who was he to disagree with their judgement But, oh how quickly the people of Jenjol could change. And as for Ilgrin, who would've predicted he could become so wicked I will always love him, although his blood is on my hands. I doubt anyone has ever killed another so close to them as I have. I still feel his throat closing between my fingers. I squeezed. I squeezed and I squeezed.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Hidden History, Secret Truth proceeds from one assumption: the world is not what we think it is. This unique series of provocative essays exposes the fine line between truth and myth and challenges us to ask why we believe what we believe. And then asks, 'What if we're wrong ' Could our entire worldview be a lie Can reality can be thought of like light, as both a particle and a wave Could there two realities One which we see through our cultural looking glass, and another we simply don't believe in Tortorich reveals just how alien our world appears when viewed outside our cultural worldview. Using 'real life' examples, he takes us down the path not chosen, and imagines a world that could have been, but isn't. How did Nicola Tesla propose to deliver free, wireless electricity to the whole world a century before there was anything we needed an 'alternative' to Is the Internet nothing more than the technological realization of what mystics call the 'Akashic records ' Do you have Pineal Envy At times poignant. At times hilarious. At times absurd. Tortorich's out-of-the-box thinking poses questions that are at least as thought-provoking as the answers.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - De la longue odyssée d'Ulysse au Cahier d'Aimé Césaire, sans oublier l'énigmatique retour de Dany Laferrière, le déplacement des écrivains et des personnages littéraires d'un lieu d'origine à un lieu d'accueil est et a toujours été un thème phare de toute la production littéraire mondiale. De telle sorte que l'homme ou le héros romanesque est toujours, à long terme, un migrant ; un être en transit, un éternel voyageur. Aussi, la migration a-t-elle laissé ses empreintes dans l'histoire de la littérature mondiale. Perçue comme mouvement des populations d'un espace à un autre, elle n'a jamais été un phénomène isolé, puisque liée à des causes d'ordre politique, social, économique voire même climatique. D'où se développe, dans ce contexte, une littérature dite littérature migrante, littérature de l'émigration, littérature des émigrés ou littérature de l'exil .Vu la complexité que semble évoquer aujourd'hui la migration, ne serait-t-il pas important de la replacer dans des ensembles plus larges, d'étendre le champ pour y inclure d'autres formes de mobilité, tenir compte d'autres processus ayant toutefois une ou des incidences sur le phénomène Parler de la migration n'évoque-t-il pas autant les diasporas que les réseaux transnationaux, les espaces frontaliers et les déplacements extérieurs qu'intérieurs Quel sens possède encore aujourd'hui la notion frontière au moment où l'on vit ce qu'Arnold van Gennep appelle la Mondialisation de l'Humanité Ce numéro de Legs et Littérature entend explorer la question migratoire en vue de dégager une compréhension sur la manière dont les écrivains migrants vivent et mettent en récit leur déplacement et, à la limite, leur exil.À propos des directeurs du numéro: Certifiée ès Lettres Modernes de l'École Normale Supérieure, Mirline Pierre détient une maîtrise en didactique des langues de l'Université des Antilles. Elle enseigne la littérature au secondaire et est formatrice à l'Institut français en Haïti.Ancien élève de l'École Normale Supérieure, Dieulermesson Petit Frère détient un master 2 en littératures de l'Université Clermont Auvergne et une maîtrise ès lettres de l'Université des Antilles et de la Guyane.
