Book excerpt: Un vampiro y una bruja crearon una nueva raza de inmortales mezclando su sangre en un poderoso brebaje que otorgaba la inmortalidad y todos los poderes de ambas razas en un solo ser, son tan poderosos que amenazan la seguridad del mandato sobre el universo, por eso intentan destruirlos, pero es tarde, los gansmos son demasiado poderosos para vencerlos sin ayuda. Tesa es una joven humana, o eso piensa ella, que de pronto se ve involucrada en una guerra que no le importa, en un mundo que jamás pensó que existía y en un amor por el que está dispuesta a darlo todo y a hacerlo absolutamente todo, sin restricciones. Alex pensaba que ya no tenía oportunidad de ser feliz, de amar, de enamorase, pero cuando le envían a proteger a la futura gansma que será tan poderosa como él, se encuentra con la mujer que el destino eligió para él. Las guerras pon el control del universo son feroces, las batallas por llevarse a Tesa sanguinarias, pero de que sirven las guerras, las batallas sangrientas si el único modo de conseguir a la que todos quieren es conquistando su corazón, y ese ya pertenece a Alejandro Maxgrim.

Download or read book Dincolo de bine si de rau written by Friedrich Nietzsche and published by Humanitas SA. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: „Faptul că filozofia nu este o abstracţie rece, ci trăire, suferinţă şi sacrificiu pentru omenire îl ştia Nietzsche prea bine, şi a fost pentru el un exemplu. A fost condus în sus spre gheţarii erorii groteşti, dar viitorul era, în realitate, tărâmul iubirii sale, iar generaţiilor următoare, nouă, a căror tinereţe îi datorează infinitul, Nietzsche le va apărea ca o figură de un tragism plăpând şi onorabil, înconjurat cu flăcări de fulgerul acestei schimbări de epocă.“ (Thomas MANN) Cine se luptă cu monștri trebuie să ia seama să nu se transforme la rândul lui într-un monstru. Iar dacă vei privi multă vreme într-o prăpastie, prăpastia va privi și ea în adâncul tău. Vanitatea noastră ar dori ca, din tot ceea ce facem, tocmai lucrul care ne reușește cel mai bine să fie considerat cel mai greu de realizat. Asta explică originea multor sisteme morale. Lucrurile făcute din dragoste au loc întotdeauna dincolo de bine și de rău.

Download or read book Braganza brooch written by Alicia Perea and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las obras de arte únicas provocan admiración, pero también dudas, porque se apartan de la norma, y recelos, por su excepcionalidad. Todos ellos son calificativos que cuadran con la fíbula Braganza, un broche de oro y esmalte, fechado en el siglo III a.C., que debió de pertenecer a un príncipe ibero que quiso representarse a sí mismo como héroe, desnudo, en la plenitud de la vida, con los atributos del guerrero, luchando contra un monstruo bicéfalo. La imagen es privilegio del aristócrata, para hacerse visible y respetable, para justificar su poder. La biografía más reciente de esta bellísima pieza de orfebrería helenística la sitúa, en un momento incierto del siglo XIX, en la colección de antigüedades de la familia real portuguesa de Braganza. Hacia 1950 pasa a una colección privada de Chicago. En los años setenta vuelve a Europa, donde se exhibe en Londres y Edimburgo, para ser discutida y admirada como objeto arqueológico raro, para el que los especialistas del momento no encuentran explicación; muchos de ellos la rechazan. Finalmente, en el año 2001 el Museo Británico la adquiere en subasta pública, y desde entonces forma parte de su exposición permanente. En el año 2007 la fíbula Braganza vuelve a viajar para reencontrarse con sus orígenes en la Península Ibérica. Será el motivo alrededor del que se monta la exposición "El Héroe y el Monstruo", en el Museo Arqueológico Nacional de Madrid. Este regreso supuso dar a conocer al público español un objeto perdido de su patrimonio histórico. Porque la fíbula Braganza no es solo algo bello, sino que encierra gran cantidad de información social, económica e ideológica de nuestro remoto pasado. Para desvelar esos misterios un grupo de especialistas españoles e ingleses se reunieron e intercambiaron opiniones, dudas y certezas. El resultado es este volumen que incluye una apasionante trama de amor; un sorprendente estudio arqueométrico; el análisis de los usos y modos guerreros en la Europa del siglo III a.C.; la discusión de una escena magistral... y algún cuento maravilloso.

Book excerpt: "Substantially the book that devotees of the director have been waiting for: a full-length critical work about Ozu's life, career and working methods, buttressed with reproductions of pages from his notebooks and shooting scripts, numerous quotes from co-workers and Japanese critics, a great many stills and an unusually detailed filmography."—Sight and Sound Yasujiro Ozu, the man whom his kinsmen consider the most Japanese for all film directors, had but one major subject, the Japanese family, and but one major theme, its dissolution. The Japanese family in dissolution figures in every one of his fifty-three films. In his later pictures, the whole world exists in one family, the characters are family members rather than members of a society, and the ends of the earth seem no more distant than the outside of the house.
