Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «El tiempo que tenemos no es corto; es que perdemos mucho.» Si Séneca es un clásico es porque fue capaz de acuñar reflexiones que han interpelado a lectores de todas las épocas hasta nuestros días. Orador destacado de la Roma imperial, en estos ensayos nos presenta un pensamiento ecléctico, alejado de los dogmatismos, que va más allá de preceptos de la escuela estoica. Nos insta a pensar por nosotros mismos y a alejarnos siempre que sea necesario de las creencias de la masa para acceder a la felicidad, y nos propone, a la manera del sabio, limpiar nuestro día a día de ocupaciones superfluas como vía para alargar la vida. Recordatorios que parecen escritos expresamente para nuestro presente atareado y lleno de discursos homogéneos. «Busquemos lo que es mejor, no lo que es más común, o frecuente, y lo que nos lleve a la posesión de la eterna felicidad, no a lo que aprueba el vulgo, muy mal intérprete de la verdad. Y por vulgo entiendo tanto a los que visten clámide como a los que llevan corona.» Este volumen incluye los tratados De la felicidad, De la vida retirada o el ocio, De la serenidad del alma y De la brevedad de la vida.

Book excerpt: Sobre la felicidad y la brevedad de la vida es una obra clásica explora la esencia de la del sentir y el hecho de vivir. Aborda reflexiones profundas sobre la existencia y la plenitud. Séneca les ofrece a los lectores unas reflexiones profundas sobre la felicidad y cómo alcanzarla a pesar de las dificultades que pone la vida en el camino. Teniendo como parangones la razón, la virtud y la fortaleza interior, Séneca asegura que la mente y el cuerpo pueden alcanzar ese verdadero estado de felicidad que anhelan todos los humanos. Por otra parte, en La brevedad de la vida, Séneca les advierte a sus lectores sobre el daño que hacen la procrastinación, el desperdicio del tiempo en vanidades y las preocupaciones triviales, ya que la vida puede percibirse como corta y quien se enfoque en los aspectos incorrectos sentirá que pasa aún más rápido. A través de sus reflexiones, este filósofo hace énfasis en la importancia de valorar la existencia y de aprovechar cada minuto con gratitud y sabiduría.

Download or read book Selected Poetry of Francisco de Quevedo written by Francisco de Quevedo and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francisco de Quevedo (1580–1645), one of the greatest poets of the Spanish Golden Age, was the master of the baroque style known as “conceptismo,” a complex form of expression fueled by elaborate conceits and constant wordplay as well as ethical and philosophical concerns. Although scattered translations of his works have appeared in English, there is currently no comprehensive collection available that samples each of the genres in which Quevedo excelled—metaphysical and moral poetry, grave elegies and moving epitaphs, amorous sonnets and melancholic psalms, playful romances and profane burlesques. In this book, Christopher Johnson gathers together a generous selection of forty-six poems—in bilingual Spanish-English format on facing pages—that highlights the range of Quevedo’s technical expertise and themes. Johnson’s ingenious solutions to rendering the difficult seventeenth-century Spanish into poetic English will be invaluable to students and scholars of European history, literature, and translation, as well as poetry lovers wishing to reacquaint themselves with an old master.

Download or read book Reaching Utopia written by Joanne Morgey and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it possible to find Utopia; that imaginary place of perfect peace and understanding? Every once in a while, amidst the turmoil of life, a glimpse of this perfection will come, perhaps in seeing a sunrise or a sunset, or hearing a babbling brook, or looking into the wonder filled eyes of a child. Always, it can be found, when sought. As a child, I felt that I was different from others, as if everyone else had a secret that I was not in on. I began to be a seeker at a very young age. I married my high school sweetheart, and recall the blessing being bestowed upon us during our wedding, "that we may find the peace that passes all understanding." At that same time, in the background, the song "Oh Perfect Love" was being sung. I admit to being somewhat idealistic, but oh, how I yearned for just a glance at that kind of peace and love. In no way did it come in the way that I ever would have imagined. Just 14 years, and four children after the marriage, my husband died suddenly of a heart attack, leaving me devastated with feelings of total inadequacy to run a family business left in my keeping, and raise four young children. Along with all the responsibility that came with these roles, I came to the realization that often times I would need to create a reality with the tools that I was able to gather along the way, constantly finding them in need of repair or replenishing. It was during this time that I began to see writing as one of those tools and sought peace through poems I would write. Whenever I would reach a milestone in life, or be richly inspired by a happening, or experience the death of a loved one, I would write a poem and find a resolve as a way of ending the poem; always seeking a positive place to leave my feelings. "Reaching Utopia" is a poetry book about some of the joys and sorrows I have known along the way. Because I have always been a seeker of that perfect peace, I am happy for the joys of the journey, and grateful for the sorrows. And as I have become a believer, I hope, you may also come to believe that Utopia, although an ideal created from imagination, can be a place within your reach.

Download or read book The Forbidden Religion written by Jose M. Herrou Aragon and published by José M. Herrou Aragón. This book was released on 2012-07-03 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gnosis means knowledge. But we are not referring to just any knowledge. Gnosis is knowledge which produces a great transformation in those who receive it. Knowledge capable of nothing less than waking up man and helping him to escape from the prison in which he finds himself. That is why Gnosis has been so persecuted throughout the course of history, because it is knowledge considered dangerous for the religious and political authorities who govern mankind from the shadows. Every time this religion, absolutely different from the rest, appears before man, the other religions unite to try to destroy or hide it again. Primordial Gnosis is the original Gnosis, true Gnosis, eternal Gnosis, Gnostic knowledge in its pure form. Due to multiple persecutions, Primordial Gnosis has been fragmented, distorted and hidden.
Download or read book Pretexts written by André Gide and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2010-08-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of André Gide's richly-varied literary output has long been available to American readers. Only one aspect of his protean career has been lacking in translation: the essays, the publication of which will go far to explain why Gide holds in France such high rank as a critic. Many of the essays in Pretexts: Reflections on Literature and Morality were provoked by events in the cultural and political world of twentieth-century France, a turbulent setting that produced a lasting literature. These essays are vintage Gide, informed by his characteristic spiritâhis hard brilliance, pointed honesty, and the enduring relevance of his concerns. Readers of his Journals will be prepared for the style, intelligence, and marksmanship that Gide brings to bear in these forty-two articles on life as well as on letters. His range, as always, is broad: a long and moving memoir of his encounters with Oscar Wilde; a series of combats against reactionary nationalists and self-appointed purifiers of morals; estimates of Mallarmé, Baudelaire, Proust, Gautier, and Valéry, among others; letters to Jacques Rivière, Jean Cocteau, and Francis Jammes; and general essays on art, literature, the theater, and politics. Justin O'Brien, famous for his studies in modern French literature, has written that Gide is "related to La Fontaine and Racine by his essential conciseness and crystalline style, to Montaigne and Goethe by his inquiring mind which reconciled unrest and serenity, to Baudelaire by his lucid, prophetic criticism." O'Brien, who has done so much to bring contemporary French literature to America, supervised the translations in Pretexts: Reflections on Literature and Morality, prepared several of them himself, and contributes an informative general introduction and additional commentary to preface the various sections of this major book.

Download or read book Six Masters of the Spanish Sonnet written by Willis Barnstone and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With poems selected and translated by one of the preeminent translators of our day, this bilingual collection of 112 sonnets by six Spanish-language masters of the form ranges in time from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries and includes the works of poets from Spanish America as well as poets native to Spain. Willis Barnstone's selection of sonnets and the extensive historical and biographical background he supplies serve as a compelling survey of Spanish-language poetry that should be of interest both to lovers of poetry in general and to scholars of Spanish-language literature in particular. Following an introductory examination of the arrival of the sonnet in Spain and of that nation's poetry up to Francisco de Quevedo, Barnstone takes up his six masters in chronological turn, preceding each with an essay that not only presents the sonneteer under discussion but also continues the carefully delineated history of Spanish-language poetry. Consistently engaging and informative and never dull or pedantic, these essays stand alone as appreciations--in the finest sense of that word--of some of the greatest poets ever to write. It is, however, Barnstone's subtle, musical, clear, and concise translations that form the heart of this collection. As Barnstone himself says, "In many ways all my life has been some kind of preparation for this volume."
