Story902
“One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug.” With this startlingly bizarre sentence, Kafka begins his masterpiece, The Metamorphosis. It is the story of a young traveling salesman who, transformed overnight into a giant, beetle-like insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, a quintessentially alienated man. Rather than being surprised at the transformation, the members of his family despise it as an impending burden upon themselves.

Story2
Beyond Good and Evil gives profound insight into the personal philosophies of one of history's greats, Friedrich Nietzsche. Within the work, first published in 1886, you'll find close to 300 of Nietzsche's aphorisms, organized by theme and spanning nine chapters. Nietzsche begins his work by stating that all philosophies are nothing more than the complex personal opinions by the philosophers that put them forth, and that it's the listener's responsibility to weed out the subjective from the true philosophy.

One of the world's most famous intellectual ghost stories, The Turn of the Screw is a haunting tale of suspected supernatural possession. A governess at a country house claims that Miles and Flora, two orphaned children in her care, are being controlled by spirits for some evil purpose. No one else can see the ghosts, and the children themselves are silent. Are they being dominated by spectral forces, or are they hiding something? Is the governess simply paranoid, or is something else going on?

"Era la stessa cosa che le accadeva quando leggeva i libri nella sua tana. Una parola scritta trecento anni prima era stata scritta proprio per lei, era uno spillo che trapassava il tempo e le entrava nel cuore." Come trovare la felicità? Che cosa vuol dire essere se stessi? Le risposte prova a trovarle la volpe Aliosha con il misterioso personaggio Ka e gli altri animali del bosco siberiano. Una metafora tenera e ironica sulla condizione umana e la nostra continua ricerca del senso delle cose e della vita.

At the age of 48, film critic David Denby returned to his alma mater, Columbia University, to re-experience the core humanities courses he had taken as a freshman 30 years before. Facing the question of what he really knows, Denby re-examines the besieged Western classics, ranging from Homer, Sappho, and Sophocles to Dante, Nietzsche, and Woolf. What relevance do the writers and thinkers of the past have to our current life? The answer surprised Denby and will surprise and enlighten his listeners.

Machiavelli, Machiavellist miydi? Mezar taşına “hiçbir övgü bu adın büyüklüğüne erişemez” yazılan Machiavelli, son çağın politik bilimini kurmuş ve bu bilime pratik mantığı sokmak suretiyle de felsefi bir özgünlük kazandırmıştır. Machiavelli, hemen her devirde değişik dünya görüşüne sahip kişilerce göklere çıkarılan veya yerin dibine batırılan ama asla ilgisiz kalınamayan “diri” bir düşünürdür. Prens, işte böyle bir düşünürün, siyaset konusunda hangi ülkeden veya hangi düşünceden olursa olsun herkes için geçerli sayılacak kuramların işlendiği bir yapıttır.

On the surface, this is a biography of an accomplished seeker who mastered the practices of yoga and brought a system for understanding the mysteries of body, mind, and spirit to students in the West. But, like the life of Swami Rama, this audiobook offers more than a sequence of astonishing events. As you read the stories of authentic guru-disciple relationships Swami Rama had both with his master and with his own students, you will see how the spiritual wisdom is transmitted through generations. This book also serves as a guide to advanced practices of yoga and tantra not commonly understood in modern times.

Créée en 1634, l'Académie française fut le théâtre où se jouent, encore aujourd'hui, les enjeux culturels et scientifiques qui constituent "L'Esprit français" : la chambre d'écho des métamorphoses de la société et du pouvoir.

Im Jahr 1930 wird ein katholischer, konservativer Bauer in einem kleinen Dorf im Westerwald Dorfbürgermeister. Er ist bekanntermaßen ein Gegner der Nazis, behält sein Amt aber auch nach Hitlers Machtergreifung. Mit Beharrlichkeit und der Unterstützung der Dorfbewohner gelingt es ihm, trotz einiger Anfeindungen, bis zum Kriegsende Bürgermeister des kleinen, abgelegenen Ortes zu bleiben. Als Hitlers Eroberungskrieg mit der Kapitulation Deutschlands endet, ist er es, der mit einer weißen Fahne auf die Amerikaner zugeht. Aufgrund seines guten Leumunds bleibt er auch unter amerikanischer Besatzung im Amt, bis er 1947 aus Altersgründen zurücktritt.

禅の修業を通して得た東洋的精神性の自覚と<純粋経験>の立場から、知識・道徳・宗教への思索を深めた独自の哲学論を展開。 東洋と西洋の哲学を統合した東西思想の統一が、近代的自我の確立に苦しんでいた青年層に衝撃的な影響を与えた。

Siddhartha, a story based on the early life of Gautama Buddha, is concerned with the human search for self-knowledge and authentic spirituality. Hesse had written the first part of the book easily enough, but had to stop for a year with depression, before completing it in 1922. The book is a synthesis of Buddhist, Hindu, Taoist, and Christian thought, though Hesse rejected all conventional religion for a more individual and personal path.
