Citada em O Senhor dos Anéis, a principal história contada em O Silmarillion narra o romance e a jornada épica de Beren, um homem mortal, e Lúthien, uma princesa élfica. O pai dela, um grande senhor élfico, opõe-se à união e, para permitir o casamento com Lúthien, impõe a Beren uma tarefa impossível de ser realizada. É este o foco central da lenda: a tentativa incrivelmente heroica de Beren e Lúthien juntos, roubar uma Silmaril do maior de todos os seres malignos, Morgoth, o Sombrio Inimigo do Mundo. Escrito originalmente entre 1916 e 1917, o conto de Beren e Lúthien sofreu diversas mudanças e ajustes ao longo de toda a vida de J.R.R. Tolkien. Neste livro, seu filho, Christopher Tolkien, reuniu pela primeira vez as diferentes versões da lenda, escritas em diferentes épocas, em prosa ou em versos altamente musicais. Ao lado de "A Queda de Gondolin" e "Os Filhos de Húrin", "Beren e Lúthien" era considerado por Tolkien um dos Três Grandes Contos dos Dias Anti...

Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self is the account of an extraordinarily talented lucid dreamer who goes beyond the boundaries of both psychology and religion. In the process, he stumbles upon the Inner Self. While lucid (consciously aware) in the dream state and able to act and interact with dream figures, objects, and settings, dream expert Robert Waggoner experienced something transformative and unexpected. He was able to interact consciously with the dream observer--the apparent Inner Self--within the dream. At first this seemed shocking, even impossible, since psychology normally alludes to such theoretical inner aspects as the Subliminal Self, the Center, and the Internal Self-Helper in vague and theoretical ways. Waggoner came to realize, however, that aware interaction with the Inner Self was not only possible, but actual and highly inspiring. He concluded that while aware in the dream state, one has both a psychological tool and a platform from which to understand dreami...

¿Son antitéticas las neurociencias y la salud mental (SM)? Por supuesto que no. Mientras que las primeras implican un conjunto de saberes, metodologías y conceptos, la SM remite a un campo de prácticas sociales, clínicas y políticas, de gran complejidad: un territorio de disputas y conflicto por demás amplio, pero que excluye cualquier forma de pensamiento único. ¿Es incompatible una intervención desde las neurociencias en el campo de la SM? También la respuesta es negativa, y la motivación de este libro no es una crítica infundada ni directa a la amplia variedad de saberes, técnicas y avances en neurociencias. No obstante, es condición para lo anterior que las neurociencias -quienes las practican, referencian y/o utilizan- admitan también como propia la complejidad de este campo de prácticas. Sobre todo, la asunción de que toda práctica en salud y SM será clínica a condición de incluir como piezas centrales el resguardo de los derechos humanos, el respeto y la búsqueda de la dignidad ...

Life and death in a modern hospital, from Seamus O'Mahony, the award-winning author of The Way We Die Now and Can Medicine Be Cured? Seamus O'Mahony charts the realities of work in the 'ministry of bodies', that huge complex where people come to be cured and to die. From unexpected deaths to moral quandaries and bureaucratic disasters, O'Mahony documents life in the halls and wards that all of us will visit at some point in our lives with his characteristic wit and dry and unsentimental intelligence. Absurd general emails, vain and self-promoting specialists, the relentless parade of self-destructive drinkers and drug users, the comical expectations of baffled patients: this is not a conventional medical memoir, but the collective biography of one of our great modern institutions - the general hospital - through the eyes of a brilliant writer, who happens to be a doctor.

Struggenti e ingegnose, le storie racchiuse in "Risvegli nel buio" raccontano di una rivelazione che capovolge l'esistenza. Le protagoniste, figlie inconsapevoli di uomini e donne che, in veste di vittime o di carnefici, hanno vissuto in prima persona gli orrori dell'Olocausto, sono colte nel momento in cui la verità sulla loro ascendenza, cercata o respinta che sia, sbaraglia ogni loro certezza. In "La casa sulla Kronenstrasse" una newyorkese di adozione, spinta da alcune parole pronunciate dalla madre sul letto di morte, affronta un viaggio oltre Oceano per ritrovarsi, per la prima volta, a casa. L'ebrea ortodossa di "La scimmia di porcellana" vive con rigore la propria identità fino a quando, per amore della figlia maggiore, accetta di mettere a nudo un passato insospettabile. In "La lampada" un oggetto raccapricciante eppure prezioso diventa il simbolo di una comunione ideale fra tre donne che si trasmettono tacitamente il testi...

First time in print..."It's no wonder that AKrentz's? novels consistently hit bestseller lists."--Publishers Weekly Eclipse Bay has grown and flourished on the rugged Oregon coast, where the shore can be rocky and forbidding, full of sharp cliffs and hidden coves. Eclipse Bay by Jayne Ann Krentz, this small town is also filled with secrets as treacherous as the landscape and rivalries as fierce as an ocean storm. Their grandfathers hated each other. Their fathers hated each other. And as the next generation of the Hartes and Madisons, Hannah and Rafe are expected to hate each other too. But Hannah Harte, a successful wedding consultant with a skeptical view of marriage, remembers the long-ago night on the beach that revealed Rafe as much more than just "that disreputable Madison boy." And Rafe remembers the heroic gesture that proved Hannah's fierce spirit was stronger than any feud and saved him from near-certain imprisonment. Now reunited by a surpri...

"Ost-Berlin" ist mehr als ein Buch, es ist eine Legende. Als oppositionelle Künstler in den letzten Jahren der DDR standen der Fotograf Harald Hauswald und der Schriftsteller Lutz Rathenow unter ständiger staatlicher Beobachtung. Dennoch gelang es ihnen 1987 mit dem schonungslos ehrlichen Porträt Ost-Berlins den Puls der Zeit einzufangen: Rathenow in seinen aufmerksamen Beobachtungen, in denen auch die eigensinnigen Nuancen des Alltags wieder lebendig werden, Hauswald in seinen Fotografien, in denen er schonungslos und warmherzig zugleich die Brüche in der Halbstadt festhielt. Vor 30 Jahren machte die friedliche Revolution dem SED-Regime den Garaus. Der Jaron Verlag nimmt dies zum Anlass, "Ost-Berlin" in einer erweiterten Jubiläumsausgabe wiederaufzulegen. Das hochwertig ausgestattete Hardcover - im Duplexverfahren gedruckt und mit Surbalin-Umschlag versehen - enthält 30 bislang nicht enthaltene und teils hier erstmals abgedruckte Fotografien Hauswalds: eindrucksvol...

What does it really mean to be "undocumented," particularly in the contemporary United States? Political philosophers, immigration policy makers, and others have tended to define the term "undocumented migrant" legalistically-that is, in terms of lacking legal authorization to live and work in one's current country of residence. In Socially Undocumented, Reed-Sandoval challenges this "legalistic understanding" by arguing that being socially undocumented is to possess a real, visible, and embodied social identity that does not always track one's legal status. She further argues that achieving immigration justice in the U.S. (and elsewhere) requires a philosophical understanding of the racialized, class-based, and gendered components of socially undocumented identity and oppression. Socially Undocumented offers a new vision of immigration justice by integrating a descriptive and phenomenological account of socially undocumented identity with a nor...
